Because earthquakes happen without warning, it’s important to take steps now to prepare. Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens, prepare some supplies for your home, workplace, and car.

1. Water.

A person needs at least 1/2 gallon of water daily just for drinking. Store at least1 gallon of water per person per day and be prepared for a 72-hour period. It’s suggested that you buy bottled water. Keep bottled water in its original container and do not open it until you need to use it. Also, do check the “use by” date.

2. Food.

It’s always a practical idea to keep a supply of non-perishable(不易腐烂的) food on hand. Have an enough supply of canned food, dried milk, dried fruits, non-salted nuts and canned juices for at least 72 hours.

3. Flashlights and spare batteries.

Keep a flashlight beside your bed, at your place of work, and in your car. Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks.

Prepare a battery –powered radio and spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information.

4. Clothes.

If you live in a cold place, you must think about warmth. You might not have heat after an earthquake. Think about your clothing and bedding supplies.

1.You should prepare all of the following except _______________.

A．canned juices

2.If you live in a cold place, you should prepare _______________ .

A woman saw three o1d men sitting in her front yard. She said,“I don’t think I know you, but you must be very hungry. Please come in and have something to eat. ”
“We don’t go into a house together,”they replied．
“Why is that?” she asked.
One of the old men answered. “His name is Wealth，this is Success, and I am Love. ” Then he said,“Now go in and discuss with your family which one of us you want in your house. ”
Then the woman went in and told her family what was said. She said “Let’s invite Wealth.
Let him come in and bring us nice things. We have been so poor. ”His husband disagreed,“My dear,why don't we invite Success? Don’t you want me to be a successful man?. ”
Then the daughter asked,“Would it be better to invite Love? Our life will then be filled with 1ove!” “Let’s take our daughter's advice(建议)s,” said the father and mother.
So the woman went out and asked, “Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our Guest. ”Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also got up and followed Him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success, “I only invited Love. Why are you coming along?” The two o1d men answered,“If you had invited Wealth or Success, two of us would have stayed out, but since you have invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him. Where there is Love, there is Wealth and Success. ”

Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If I ask you “What is the most important thing in your life?” Maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet”. The first computer was made in 1946. It was big but worked slowly.    1.    What can computers do? A writer once said, “People can’t live without computer today.”

The Internet is about twenty-five years later than computers.   2.    We can use it to read books, send e-mails, do some shopping, play games and make friends.

Young men, especially the high school students like the Internet very much.    3.   In the Internet bars, they make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don’t know their real names, ages and even sex(性别).    4.    Some of them play games in the Internet bars all day and night. Many of them can’t catch up with others in many subjects because of that.

Now the government has done many things. Some gangster bars(黑网吧) have been banned(取缔).    5.   The teachers and parents are still worried about these children.

We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time, we should remember that computers and the Internet could not do all the things.
