You can’t hide a natural disaster from children, so how do we prepare them for it? First of all, you should explain to them that acts of nature aren’t necessarily disasters but can become one. These may include floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, winter storms, wild fires, and earthquakes. The way to prepare children for these disasters is to educate them about what each type is and then make it fun by making them “Disaster Masters” or whatever title you can think of.
Making them a Disaster Master won’t be easy. They must know what’s in a disaster emergency kit(工具箱) and why it’s included. You can get your friends involved, too. If your friends have children, they may want to be involved in your emergency preparations. Make it a group project. This is the opportunity for everyone to become familiar with the equipment.
We have to be aware of our conduct and the way we react to(对…作出反应) stress. The children will be easily influenced by your attitude and demeanor. The calmness, steady manner, and good humor of your spouse (配偶) and you will go a long way toward the easing or the reduction of stress.
Explain to them what they’re likely to encounter or see and describe how people may react. Disasters can come and go very quickly and generally don’t last long. If you must stay away from home, try to get into a routine quickly and encourage them to make new friends. Let them know they can look to their parents and other adults if they become scared or confused. And it’s important to let them know it’s OK to cry during a disaster.
It’s sometimes helpful to let the children draw pictures of what they’ve experienced. Encourage them to write what they learned and what could have been done better. Save the story. Make it part of a documented family history!
11. This passage was written mainly to tell us about _______.
A. the importance of mutual (共同的，相互的) help in disaster preparation
B. tips for preparing children for a natural disaster
C. the importance of educating children about natural disasters
D. ways t o raise children’s courage in natural disasters
12. It is a must that a Disaster Master knows _______.
A. when a natural disaster will come
B. why there are natural disasters
C. how to use a disaster emergency kit
D. how to teach others about emergency preparations
13. The underlined word “demeanor” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “_______”.
A. personality
B. lifestyle
C. emotion
D. behavior
14. When they meet with a natural disaster, children _______.
A. must write down what they see and how they feel
B. should believe that the disaster will never last long
C. can cry if they are frightened
D. should help other children despite the danger

These days many high school graduates are learning driving during their summer vacation. In my opinion , learning to drive a car is a very positive experience for an individual.
Knowing that you are able to drive makes you confident. Also, the ability to drive gives you a feeling of independence, which means you can go wherever and whenever you want. It is much more convenient and quicker to get around in a car than to wait for a bus.
On the other hand, it is sometimes difficult to find a parking place in the city with the number of cars increasing so fast. Besides, it can be expensive--- not just to buy a car, but also to pay for petrol and all the repairs your car will
