One night, I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30a.m. When I arrived to collect my passenger, I saw a small woman in her eighties standing before me. I took her suitcase to the car and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we talked slowly toward the car.She kept thanking me for my kindness. “Its nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”“Oh, you re such a good man,” she said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive me throughout the downtown?”“Its not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.“Oh, Im in no hurry,” she said, “Im on my way to hospice. I dont have any family left. The doctor says I dont have very long time.” I quietly shut off the meter(计价器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, and the neighborhood where she had lived. Sometimes she asked me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.As the day broke, she suddenly said, “Im tired. Lets go now.”We drove in silence to the address she had given me.“How much shall I give you?” she asked.“Nothing,” I said.“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.Almost without thinking, I bent down and gave her a hug.

As an adult, you know what to do during a disaster, but what about the children? Some adults think it would probably never happen to them, so they dont teach their children what to do. Before its too late, here are ways to help you prepare your child for a disaster:Educate: It is always good to let your child know about possible disasters. This doesnt mean children have to live in fear. When teaching them about disasters, keep the conversation positive（积极的）by telling them there is a solution to the disaster. Keep the conversations short, allow for questions and answer honestly.Prepare: Always be prepared. That is the best advice for children. For example, when preparing for bad weather, get the tools you need, like candles, radios, food, water and medicine. Teach your child what is needed in certain disasters so that they know what is available for them, if ever needed.Plan: You should always have a plan for you and your child for any dangerous situation. Write out a simple list that they can read. The plan could start with “listen to an adults advice or call 119”.Practice: Once you have got the correct safety tools and worked out the right plan, practice every few months. Practicing what to do during a disaster with your child will help them if the time comes.Disasters cant be avoided but they can be lessened（减轻）once you are prepared and ready for one.40 . What is the correct thing to do for adults?AHave positive conversations with children.BTry not to talk about disasters with children.CMake the children scared of disasters.DAsk children lots of questions.41 . Whats the most important thing for children?AAlways ask adults for help.BAlways be prepared for a disaster.CAlways listen to an adults advice.DAlways remember where the tools are.42 . What is NOT suggested doing?ARemembering what is needed in certain disasters.BGetting the children to know the plan well.CHelping people in disaster areas.DGetting radios for bad weather.43 . The passage mainly tells us_.AWhen disasters will happen.BWhy disasters are dangerous.CWhat to do for a disaster.DHow to avoid a disaster.四、单词填空Five-year-old Bruno lived in the slums (贫民窟) with his parents.

As we get older, we look back and wish that we had made better choices. What can we do to avoid future regrets?Make better plansIf you begin to do something, you need to make a plan before doing it. The earlier, the better. You will know what comes first and what comes last. Youll also know what you should do and what you shouldnt do. If changes happen, you can have more time to deal with them. Live a more active lifeYou can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed. You also need to be kind. “Thank you” can bring a smile to someones face. Learn to say “sorry” and dont be angry with others.Find the right friendA friend may make your life and he or she can break your life as well. So you need to think twice when you choose a friend. Good friends will always better your ideas.When you have problems, ask others for help. That little help may get you good results. N
