AAn earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.Fragile items, like those made of glass are easily broken and should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.There is a strong chance of short circuits（短路）and fire breakouts during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times.If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object. If trapped in debris (瓦砾堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief orclothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.21. The purpose of the passage is to tell readers ________.A. the damage caused by earthquakesB. what to do about earthquakesC. how to prevent earthquakesD. the rescue work after earthquakes22. The underlined word “Fragile” in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.A. easily foundB. heavyC. expensiveD. easily broken23. During the earthquake, people are advised to ________.A. turn off electricity and gas immediatelyB. drive to a safe place quicklyC. take shelter under a treeD. go out the building at once24. What should people NOT do when they are trapped in debris?A. Light a match for help.B. Tap on a pipe or wall for help.C. Use a whistle for help.D. Cover their mouth with a handkerchief.BWelcome to Pocono WhitewaterThere’s something fun here at Pocono Whitewater for every level of adventurer！We have mild to wild whitewater rafting (漂流)，family trips，and bird-watching boating...Choose one adventure now.

They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as bullying or arguments. Going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive (冒犯性的) or illegal aims. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers.To keep children safe your management must cover the family computer. Just as you decide which TV programs are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Reminding them of the risks will keep them alert (警惕).Computer studies are pa rt of schoolwork now, so it’s likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the latest gad-gets and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards, which are especially strange. The language of chat is strange to many parents, too. Chatters love to use abbreviations (缩写) such as: atb — all the best, bbfn — bye bye for now, cul8er — see you later, gr8 — great, Idk —I don’t know, imbl — it must be love, kit — keep in touch, paw — parents are watching, lol — laugh out loud, xlnt — excellent!It seems like another language, and it is!28.

The Internet is a good place for children.C. Children shouldn’t chat so much online.D. The Internet is no good for children.30. The purpose of writing this passage is to advise ______.A. people not to use the net language in real lifeB. teachers to have students study on computersC. parents to protect their children from online dangersD. children not to meet online friends freely31. If you stand beside him when your son is chatting about something secret online, he may use ______.A. bbfnB. lolC. cul8erD. PawDRecently I paid a visit to Harvard University, where there are top class scientists and professors and the best academic system in the world.I was pretty shocked when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, it’s not even really a campus. It’s more like a district in a small town.Harvard’s main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even say they’re a little shabby(破旧的). They don’t fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a castle of Middle Ages. But when I looked across the street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century again. It create a strong contrast(对比)and brings a special atmosphere to the school.Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us: “You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here is where they host their graduation ceremony. They just put up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony.” Unbelievable! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the lawn! I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of pages turning, along with chirping of the birds, I felt very calm. There was no competitive felling at all.Harvard has the world’s first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high –end computers too. Its religion and the literature departments are among the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition(传统)and new technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in.I hope one day I’ll attend my dream school-Harvard.32. The article is mainly about .A. the author’s impression（印象）of HarvardB. Harvard’s old buildingsC. the author’s campus life in HarvardD. the academic system at Harvard33.
