Because earthquakes happen without warning, it’s important to take measures 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(加仑) of water daily just for drinking. Store at least 1 gallon of water per person per day and be prepared for a 72-hour period. It is 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, powdered milk, dried fruits, non-salted nuts and canned juices for at least 72 hours.
3. Torch(手电筒) and spare batteries (电池)
Keep a torch 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(泄露).Prepare a battery-powered radio and spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information.
4. Clothes
If you live in a cold place, you must think about warmth. You might not have heat after an earthquake. Think about your clothing and bedding supplies.
1.Why should people prepare themselves for an earthquake?
A. Because earthquakes can be known before they happen.
B. Because earthquakes take place without warning.
C. Because earthquakes usually take place in the neighborhood.
D. Because it’s people’s daily work to prepare the earthquakes.
2.You should prepare all of the following except ______.
A. powdered milk B. fresh vegetables C. dried fruits D. canned juices
3.According to the article we know that ______.
A. we need to prepare some supplies only at home
B. a telephone is the most important prepared thing
C. after earthquakes you’d better use torch first but not matches
D. clothes are used to protect your head
4.If you live in a cold place, you should prepare _______.
A. some warm clothes and bedding supplies B. some hot water
C. some batteries D. some torches

America is growing older. Fifty - eight years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. To day, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect(影响)American society in many ways—education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society—one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior(行为) is suitable(合适)at various , ages.
A person s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29 - year - old university president or a 35 - year -old grandmother, or a 70 year - old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother— or my father— was at my age. ”No one says“Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
1.It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ________ .
A.has made people feel younger |
B.has changed people’s social position |
C.has changed people’s understanding of age |
D.has slowed down the country’s social development |
2.The underlined word “one” refers to ________ .
A.a society |
B.America |
C.a place |
D.population |
3.“Act your age” means people should ________ .
A.be active when they are old |
B.do the right thing at the right age |
C.show respect for their parents young or old |
D.take more physical exercise suitable to their age |
4.If a 25 - year - old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it ________ .
A.normal |
B.wonderful |
C.unbelievable |
D.unreasonable |
