I didn’t think I had a passion(激情). I would sit in front of the TV all day, thinking about nothing but the next show.

It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion is to life.

On that day I went with my mum to drive my sister to the gym. I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, s 1. on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed in rags (衣衫褴褛). He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, for I had seen many like him b2. .

But in some ways he was d 3. . This man was not sitting down with a sad expression. He had a radio in his hand and was dancing h 4. to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious(珍贵)thing he had.

“ Mum, why does that man have A、radio even thought he’s homeless?” I asked.

“He bought it,” she replied.

“But if he’s homeless, why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He w 5. it on something he doesn’t need.”

“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important things. We need happiness, too.”

That man must c 6. enough music to buy a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that happiness is the k 7. to life.

Without it, there’s nothing to look forward to. A passion gives a person the happiness they need to keep going.

Because earthquakes happen without warning, it’s important to take steps now to prepare. Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens, prepare some supplies for your home, workplace, and car.

1. Water.

A person needs at least 1/2 gallon of water daily just for drinking. Store at least1 gallon of water per person per day and be prepared for a 72-hour period. It’s suggested that you buy bottled water. Keep bottled water in its original container and do not open it until you need to use it. Also, do check the “use by” date.

2. Food.

It’s always a practical idea to keep a supply of non-perishable(不易腐烂的) food on hand. Have an enough supply of canned food, dried milk, dried fruits, non-salted nuts and canned juices for at least 72 hours.

3. Flashlights and spare batteries.

Keep a flashlight beside your bed, at your place of work, and in your car. Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks.

Prepare a battery –powered radio and spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information.
