here is some advice for you: before an earthquake it is necessary to prepare yourself and your family. all family members should know how to turn off gas, water and electricity and know useful telephone numbers ( doctor, hospital, police and 119 etc.). never put heavy things over beds. during an earthquake it is important for each of you to stay calm. if you are indoors, quickly move to a safe place in the room such as under a strong desk or table. the purpose is to protect yourself from falling things. stay away from windows, large mirrors, heavy fumiture and so on. if you are cooking, turn off the gas. if you are outdoors, move to an open area like a playground. move away from buildings, bridges and trees. if you are driving, stop the car as soon as possible, staying away from bridges and tall buildings, stay in your car. after an earthquake once the shaking has stopped, do not run out of the building at once. it is better to wait and leave when it is safe. check around you and help the people who are in trouble. if your building is badly broken, you should leave it. if you smell or hear gas, get everyone outside and open windows and doors. if you can do it safely, turn off the gas. report it to the gas company. 29. which of the following is mentioned in the second paragraph? a. people should know how to turn on gas. b. people should know how to save water. c. people should not put heavy things over beds. d. people should not forget the phone numbers of friends. 30. when an earthquake happens, _ can help you deal with it. a. keeping quiet b. staying calm c. looking outside d. moving indoors 31. when the earth stops shaking, you should_. a. check around you first b. run out of the building at once c. break the windows and doors d. write a report to the company 32. you can learn_ after reading the passage. a. what an earthquake is like b. what to do to avoid (避免) an earthquake c. how an earthquake happens d. how to protect yourself in an earthquakec as space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. space is not only amazing but also dangerous. while working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success. scientists have found out that radiation (辐射) is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. when spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. the damage (危害) done by radiation wont be discovered until their children or even grandchildren are born. some special medicine may work a little, but no really helpful medicine has been found so far. space rubbish is also thought a great danger to spacemen. its reported that there are 9, 000 man-made things flying in space. about 300% of these are satellites (卫星) , 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish. an explosion (爆炸) in 1996 made a cloud of 300, 000 fragments (碎片), each at least 4mm in size, and even a small piece of these knocked against a spaceship window and did some damage. scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. they are working to deal with space rubbish. although space is really dangerous, it interests everyone on the earth. in the near future, it may become usual for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. we may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. so we should care for space and do something to help improve the space environment33. shows the man-made things in space in the correct way.34. space rubbish in space and the radiation from the sun and other stars are harmful to_. a. spacemen working in space b. people only on the earth c. all the people except children d. all the spacemen35. the passage talks about_ kinds of danger in space. a. two b. three c. four d. five36. which of the following about the passage is true?
