A篇

Dr. Black put on a false smile（假笑）as she entered Janet’s hospital room. She couldn’t let Janet see that she was worried. Yet she had been searching for the cause of Janet’s illness and hadn’t found a clue.

“How are you feeling today?” Dr. Black asked her patient. Janet replied that she felt about the same —terribly uncomfortable.

The doctor tried to get Janet’s mind off her health by talking about Janet’s vacation at Lake Winnow. But Dr. Black couldn’t keep her own mind on the conversation. She kept wondering what could be wrong with her patient.

Suddenly Janet’s words stopped Dr. Black’s thoughts: “… the vacation wa s really perfect, except for the food. The last meal I ate was especially terrible.”

Dr. Black quickly came back to the talk, “Janet, when did you eat that meal?” Janet said that it had been the day before yesterday.

“I think we’ve discovered your problem,” Dr. Black said as she left. Several hours later, Dr. Black was back with the answer. “Janet, the food you ate made you ill. You’re suffering from food poisoning. Now that we know what’s wrong, we can take care of your problem.”

B篇

Would you know what to do during a big earthquake? Scientists have some advice for us.

If the ground begins shaking while you are driving, stop your car on the roadside and stay in it. If you are in a tall building, don't use the lift and never jump out of the windows. When you are in a living room, find a strong table or rush into a smaller room like washroom. Then lie down your body. Take care of your head. When you are in a public place, like supermarket or cinema, don't crowd in jam(拥挤) , or you may fall over and get hurt. Cross your arms to protect yourself. You can also find a place to hide.

After the main shake, quickly run out of the dangerous building for there will be small earthquakes. If you are safe, remember not to engage the phone line, keep it free for
