Wed been through plenty of storms around there， so they didnt think Katrina would be any different.As soon as the storm started on August 30，I knew it was going to be bad. Almost right away， the power went out， the windows broke， and the wind and rain pounded our building. My family and I were all huddled together in my sisters room when suddenly our apartment started shaking！I thought the wind was going to blow our house down with us in tithe roof collapsed (倒塌) in my dads bedroom， and water started leaking in elsewhere. I started praying right then and there， asking God to save us. I was up that whole night listening to the sounds of things breaking and the wind howling. I really thought we were going to die.Miraculously(奇迹般地)， we didnt. The next afternoon. When the storm had letup，I went outside to see the damage. I had to be careful because the wind was still strong and branches and trash were flying through the air. I couldnt believe what I was seeing. It was just destruction everywhere. There was water up to my calves， and people were frantically trying to pull debris (碎片) out of the gutters so the water could go down. They were mostly unsuccessful. Trees were ripped out by their roots；houses and chimneys were smashed all around me at first we werent sure what to do. I had my car with me， but the water was almost up to the door， so we couldnt leave. My dad kept saying that wed be OK and help would be here soon. How could it not，with so much ruin all around us? Unfortunately， we didnt have much food or water with us. We were so hungry that we took meat out of our freezer and threw it on our grill with some wood wed found on the ground. I didnt even know if it was fully cooked，but I ate it anyway.We were waiting for someone to come and help us. A police officer told us about a grocery store around the corner where we could get some food， but by the time we got there， all that was left were potato chips，soda and some chocolate cupcakes. It was really obvious that help wasnt coming.I can still remember how good it felt to finally drink a bottle of water several days later. The shelter had food，and we were able to use the hotel across the street to take baths. I was so grateful. But at the same time，I knew I couldnt stay there. It was hot and crowded，and so many people were crying over their missing or dead family members. A TV was on，and it seemed like every time the camera focused on a person suffering in New Orleans，it was somebody I knew. I couldnt watch after a while. It was just too depressing.A few days later， a lot had been said about how the government had been handling this tragedy. Having gone through it， I feel they totally betrayed (出卖) us. I didnt know it was a crime to be poor in this country. But I guess it was. And the penalty can be death. Because thats whos dying：Poor people.Even though Im angry，Im also grateful that my family and I are alive. A lot of others werent so lucky.1At the beginning，the writer and his family_.Adidnt have their breakfastBdid think Katrina was comingCdid all that they could to prevent KatrinaDdidnt think Katrina was so terrible答案D从第一段的“wed been through plenty of storms around there，so they didnt think Katrina would be any different.”看出，没有料到飓风有那么可怕。2When Katrina hit his family， the writer_.Afelt quite excitedBfelt completely frightenedCfelt movedDfelt quite grateful答案B从“I started praying right then and there， asking God to save us.”一句看出作者很害怕。3What does the underlined phrase “let up” mean？Awent up BstartedCstopped Dcontinued答案C从第三段的“I went outside to see the damage.
