• 1．"I was really scared at first，then it was kind of fun.Then，when more earthquakes happened，I didn't think it would ever stop.I wanted to sleep with my Mom and Dad.I only felt safe in a room with a table to hide under，" said San Jose，age 9.Your child may appear to be acting well immediately following an earthquake and then suddenly turn shocked over a small aftershock （余震）two months later.Children react a little slowly to shocks，so it may be months before any of these feelings are expressed to ojye.airs.The following are common behaviours，which can be seen in children after an earthquake.Along with them，there are some suggestions for ways that you can support them.
   After an earthquake，a child may refuse to talk with others.
   Suggestions：Try to get your children to do such activities as drawing or playing with pets together.Talk about what you are feeling or how you might feel in their situation.
   Some children may be angry after an earthquake.
   Suggestions：The behaviour results from their feeling helpless or hurt inside.It is a try for them to feel stronger.Do not blame the child in front of others.Talk to them about your experiences with loss and anger.
   Some children may become depressed after an earthquake.
   Suggestions：Their eating or sleeping habits may change.Their behaviour may be less active.Depression can even happen many months after the earthquake.It is very important to address the children's needs in time，like some food，clothes and friends.Don't talk about shocking news with them.
   Actions speak louder than words to children，so share your tears，anger，and helplessness openly with them.

• 2．    In a natural disaster-a hurricane，flood，volcanic eruption，or other catastrophes-minutes and even seconds of warning can make the difference between life and death.Because of this，scientists are working to use the latest technological advances to predict when and where disasters will happen.They are also studying how best to analyse and communicate this information once it is obtained.
      Hurricane Georges made landfall in Biloxi，Mississippi，after damaging Haiti，the Dominican Republic，Puerto Rico，and several islands of the Caribbean badly with torrential rains and winds up to 160 km per hour.Few people lost their lives along the Gulf Coast of the United States，although hundreds died in the Caribbean.This was a very different outcome from 1900，when a powerful Gulf Coast hurricane made an unexpected direct hit on Galveston，Texas，killing at least 6，000 people.
      Vastly improved hurricane warnings explain the different circumstances-residents of Galveston had no advance warning that a storm was approaching，while residents of Biloxi had been warned days in advance，allowing for extensive safety precautions.
      While people in Biloxi were thankful for the advance warning，some residents of New Orleans，Louisiana were less satisfied.A day before Georges made landfall，forecasters were predicting that the hurricane had a good chance of striking New Orleans.Because much of New Orleans lies below sea level，the city is at risk for flooding.Emergency management officials must begin evacuations well before a storm strikes.But evacuation costs money：businesses close，tourists leave，and citizens take precautionary measures.The mayor of New Orleans estimated that his city's preparations for Georges cost more than 50 million.After Georges missed New Orleans，some residents questioned the value of the hurricane forecasts in the face of such high costs.
       The different views on the early warnings for Hurricane Georges show some of the complexities related to predicting disasters.Disaster prediction is a process of providing scientific information to the government officials and other decision-makers who must respond to those predictions.
  
  （1）Which of the following areas suffered the most severe damage？

  
  A．Puerto Rico.
  B．Galveston，Texas.
  C．Biloxi，Mississippi.
  D．New Orleans.
  （2）The city residents of New Orleans were unsatisfied because

  .
  A．the forecast hurricane did not hit the city.
  B．the hurricane warning arrived rather late.
  C．their preparations were made in vain.
  D．they suffered from a heavy hurricane attack.
  （3）What does the passage mainly talk about？

  
  A．The different ways of disaster prediction.
  B．Technological advances in disaster prediction.
  C．The importance and uncertainty of disaster prediction.
  D．The benefits and preparations of disaster prediction.

• 8．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進(jìn)行續(xù)寫，使之構(gòu)成一個完整的故事。
   A serious earthquake can be a terrible experience，and it is easy to forget safety measures in disorder.Fortunately，most earthquake safety measures are common sense，but if you forget everything else，remember the following instructions：drop，cover，and hold on.Also，the most of earthquake deaths happen after the earthquake，so remember that the danger does not end when the shaking does!And it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.
   Practise for an earthquake.You should do earthquake practice and teach your children about earthquake safety.Everyone in the family should do some earthquake practice often.It's very important.
   Be always ready before an earthquake.It's necessary to prepare yourself and your family.All family members should know how to turn off gas，water and electricity and know useful telephone numbers （120，110，119，etc.）
   There is a strong chance of short circuits and fire breakouts during an earthquake.If you are cooking when an earthquake happens，make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.
   If you stay indoors during an earthquake，move away from unsupported areas：windows，large mirrors and so on.The purpose is to protect yourself from falling objects.Try to get under a doorway or another area of the building which is held up by strong beams.Stay under a table or desk only if it is very strong.Do not rush to lifts，because it is far safer to stay where you are.
   Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out.Cover your head with your arms around it and curl into a ball，and wait for the shaking to stop.
  Para 1.
   If you stay outdoors during an earthquake，go to an area which is as open as possible._________.
  Para 2.
   After an earthquake，many buildings are less strong，although they appear safe._________.
  注意：

  2.至少使用 5 個短文中標(biāo)有下劃線的關(guān)鍵詞語；
