It’s important to prepare(準(zhǔn)備) for earthquakes because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens. Earthquakes may happen at any time, so prepare some things for your home, office and car.
1. Clothes.
If you live in a cold place, you must keep warm. You might not have heat after an earthquake.
Think about your warm clothes.
2.Flashlights(手電筒) and spare batteries.
Keep a flashlight beside you bed, at your office and in your car. Do not use matches(火柴) after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks(氣體泄漏).
Prepare a radio and some spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information(信息來源).
3. Food and medicine.
It’s always a wonderful idea to keep some food on hand. For example, some biscuits, some canned food, milk and some other drinks for at least 72 hours. You’d better get some necessary medicine for your family.
4.Water.
A person needs at least 1/2 gallon(加侖) of water daily just for drinking. Store at least 1 gallon of water for a person every day and be prepared for 72 hours. It is suggested that you buy bottled water. Do not open the bottle until you need it. Also, do check the “use by”date.
小題1:Why should people prepare themselves for an earthquake?
A.          Because earthquakes can be know before they happen.
B.          Because earthquakes usually take place in the neighborhood.
C.          Because we don’t know when and where an earthquake will happen.
小題2:If you live in a cold place, you should prepare _________.
A. some hot water        B. some warm clothes       C. some batteries
小題3:According to the article we know that ___________.
A.          we need to prepare some things only at home
B.          a telephone is the most important source of information
C.          flashlights but not matches are first used after earthquakes
小題4:You should prepare all of the following except ________.
A .milk               B. fresh vegetables           C. biscuits
小題5:About the water, which description is RIGHT?
A.A person should drink at least 1 gallon of water in a day.
B. You shouldn’t open the bottled water until you need it.
C. You’d better keep some hot water for 72 hours.

When you are in Hong Kong, you must be very careful in the streets, because the traffic drives on the left. It is different from that in other areas of China.
If this is the first time you have come to Hong Kong, you must look to the right side and then the left before you cross the street. If the traffic lights are red, the traffic must stop. People on foot can cross the road carefully. But if the traffic lights are green, the traffic can go. People on foot mustn’t cross.
When people go to or come back from work in the morning or evening, the streets are very busy. Traffic is the most dangerous, especially for the children.

Last summer vacation, I volunteered to work at a vet’s（獸醫(yī)診所）. There I saw a lot of dogs. Minnie was the funniest-looking dog I’d ever seen. Short thin curly hair covered her sausage-shaped（香腸形）body. Her eyes always seemed surprised. And her tail looked like a rat’s tail.
She was brought to the vet because her owners didn’t want her any more. I thought Minnie had a sweet personality, though.“No one should judge her by her looks,”I thought. Finally, I advertised Minnie in the local paper.“Funny-looking dog, well-behaved, needs a loving family.”
When a boy called, I warned him that Minnie was strange-looking. The boy on the phone told me that his grandfather’s sixteen-year-old dog had just died. They wanted Minnie no matter what. I gave Minnie a good bath. Then we waited for them to arrive. At last, an old car pulled up in front of the vet’s. Two kids raced to the door. They picked Minnie up and rushed her out to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see his reaction to Minnie. Inside the car, the grandfather held Minnie in his arms and stroked her soft hair. She licked（舔）his face. Her tail wagged（搖擺）around so quickly that it looked like it might fly off her body.
“She’s perfect!”the old man said happily.
I was thankful that Minnie had found a good home.
Suddenly, I saw that the grandfather’s eyes were a milky white colour—he was blind.

A．Because he loved all kinds of dogs very much.
B．Because he had seen Minnie and loved her very much.

Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches along the highway I travel daily to work.
There are some particular blue flowers that have always caught my eye. I’ve noticed that they bloom only in the morning hours and the afternoon sun is too warm for them. Every day for about two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.
This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I’ve often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Every day I drove past the flowers thinking, “I’ll stop on my way home and dig them.” “Gee, I don’t want to get my good clothes dirty…” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel（鏟子）one year in my car to be used for that expressed purpose.
One day on my way home from work, I was shocked to see that the highway department had destroyed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.” A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister has a terminal brain tumor（腫瘤）. She is 20 years older than me and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven’t been as close as we all would have liked. I couldn’t help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us. 
And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I’ll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.
小題1: Why did those flowers the writer saw only bloom in the morning?
A．Because it was hot in the afternoon.
B．Because someone picked them away.
C．Because someone took them into houses.
D．Because the writer passed them in the morning.
小題2: Which of the following statements is right according to the passage?
A．The writer’s sister died of lung tumor.
B．The writer was regretful when she heard her sister’s death.
C．The writer planned to dig the flowers to give them to her husband.
D．The writer’s husband planned to plant some flowers in the garden.
小題3: The writer wrote the passage to tell us ________.
A．to enjoy what we have now
B．to value now and not to lose chances
C．to protect the beautiful flowers we see
D．to love those who are your close relatives
