三 、阅读理解
You can't hide a natural disaster from children,so how do we prepare them for it First of all,you should explain to them that acts of nature aren't necessarily disasters but can become one.These may include floods,hurricanes,tornadoes,winter storms,wild fires,and
earthquakes.The way to prepare children for these disasters is to educate them about what each type is and then make it fun by making them“Disaster Masters”or whatever title you can think of.
Making them a Disaster Master won't be easy.They must know what's in a disaster emergency kit(成套工具)and why it's included.You can get your friends involved,too.If your friends have children,they may want to be involved in your emergency
preparations.Make it a group project.This is the opportunity for everyone to become familiar with the equipment.
We have to be aware of our conduct and the way we react to stress.The children will be easily influenced by your attitude and demeanor,the calmness,steady manner,and good
humour of your spouse(配偶)and you will go a long way towards the easing or the reduction of stress.
Explain to them what they're likely to encounter or see and describe how people may react.Disasters can come and go very quickly and generally don't last long.If you must stay away from home,try to get into a routine quickly and encourage them to make new
friends.Let them know they can look to their parents and other adults if they become scared or confused.And it's important to let them know it's OK to cry during a disaster.
It's sometimes helpful to let the children draw pictures of what they've
experienced.Encourage them to write what they learned and what could have been done
better.Save the story.Make it part ofa documented family history!

Find Ways to Respond to a Major Disaster
When natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes happen,there's always a great need for coordinated(协调的)disaster relief and recovery. 1
·Volunteer
To take a hands-on approach to disaster recovery,volunteer your time and talents.You
can travel to the affected regions to provide support. 2 It is recommended that you
volunteer through one of the professional organisations for your safety and your skills can be put to best use.
(
·
)Donate money
Disaster victims often have lost their homes or need to relocate.In many cases,your money is just as valuable as your physical presence in helping with relief efforts.Many organisations provide temporary housing,food and other items for victims. 3 Even organisations like the Red Cross have been criticised for how donated funds have been allocated(分配).
·Donate blood
If you can't travel and don't feel comfortable giving money,a need for donated blood
always exists.The Red Cross and local medical organisations manage blood supplies that are important to disaster victims.Call the Red Cross to schedule an appointment. 4
5
Goods are valuable in stricken areas.Building materials and donations of bottled water or household items can be placed on trucks and taken to the disaster areas.It is best to allow the professional organisations to coordinate these donation efforts and see that the needed
supplies reach a location where they will be best used for recovery.
A.Send needed items.
B.Make preparations.
C.Or look out for a blood drive in your area.
D.A lot of people are skilful at organising local response.
E.Whether a disaster has occurred at homeor abroad,you can help.
F.Before giving,though,make sure you trust the organisation receiving your money.

According to historic evidence,it is predicted that the Earth may experience the sixth
extinction,resulting from human activities.Experts claim that the worst is yet to come and
the species on the planet are at risk from dying out on a grand scale.However,everyone can do their bits by getting rid of energy-consuming lifestyle and changing their cruel attitude to the rest species on this planet.After all,the Earth is home to diverse species,not just human
beings.
