Earthquakes strike suddenly at any time of the day or night, but there’s no way to tell them. If an earthquake happens, it may cause many deaths and injuries and great damage. Decide how and where your family will get together if separated. Choose an out-of-state friend or relative that the family members can call after the quake to report where they are and how they are. Know the safe place in each room: under the strong tables, desks, or against inside walls. Keep enough food, water and other things, including a flashlight, a radio, medicines and clothing.

     During the earthquake, you should keep a clear head and never be too nervous to know what to do. Protect your head and neck with your arms. If possible, take a book, a pillow or any other things to protect yourself from falling glass and ruins. If you are indoors, you must immediately lie under any strong furniture. If outdoors, move to an open area away from trees, buildings, walls and power poles. If you are in a narrow valley, move to the centre of it and look out for falling stones. If you are in a car, move to the side of the road and stop the car. Do not stop near buildings, power lines or under bridges. Stay in your car until the shaking stops.

60. After the earthquake, you should make sure of ________.

A. the phone number of your friend who lives near your home.

B. the place where you can find your family.

C. the time when a dangerous earthquake may happen.

D. the money with which you can buy food, water and other things.

　　Reading Comprehension

　　A close friend of mine lives with six hundred wild animals on the Greek Island of Kylos. Ever since he left school (where I first knew him) he has traveled all over the world collecting animals for his own zoo. He hoped to collect at least two examples of every sort of animal on his island, like Noah before the Great Flood. But the flood that my friend was afraid of, was a flood not of water, but of people. I expect you have heard of my friend: he writes books about his travels, and about the wild and wonderful animals that he has collected. The money from the books helps to pay for all the food that these animals eat.

　　My friend told me that when he was out looking for water last week, (there is not enough water on the island though there is plenty all around it) , he found oil. He needs money for his travels, and for his zoo, and a little oil would buy enough water for a lifetime, but he knows that if he tells anybody else about it, it will be the end of his zoo, and his life's work.

Oil and Water

　　A close friend of mine lives with six hundred wild animals on the Greek Island of Kylios. Ever since he left school (where I first knew him) he has traveled all over the world collecting animals for his very own zoo. He hoped to collect at least two examples of every sort of animal on his island, like Noah before the Great Flood. But the flood that my friend was afraid of, was a flood not of water, but of people. I expect you have heard of my friend: he writes books about his travels, and about the wild and wonderful animals that he collects. The money from the books helps to pay for all the food that these animals eat.

　　My friend told me that when he was out looking for water last week, (there is not enough water on the island though there is plenty all over it ), he found oil. He needs money for his travels, and for his zoo,and a little oil would buy enough water for a life-time; but he knows that if he tells anybody else about it ,it will be the end of his zoo ,and his life’s work.

　　So if I know my friend, he will not tell anybody (but you and me )about what he found ---because oil and water do not mix.
