30th June

Dear Aihua,

How are you? Sorry I haven’t written for so long. I’ve been quite busy planning my holiday with may older brother, Coin. Do you still remember the trip I told you about? I told you Colin and I would spend a few weeks traveling before he goes to university. Well, now we’re ready to go! We’re going to visit so many exciting places and do lots of astonishing things. We will go to Africa first. I can’t wait! Have you been there?

We leave London on 15th July, and we’ll be flying to Morocco, in Northern Africa. We’re going to travel on camels through the Sahara Desert. It’s the biggest desert in the world-about the size of The US! I expect it will be very hot, dry and dusty there. We’ll be traveling by camel, with local guides, camping in tents and sleeping on the ground in our big, thick sleeping bags. I’ve heard that we can se beautiful stars on clear nights. I’ll bring a torch with me so that I’ll be able to see in the dark. The whole trip will take six days. That means I’ll have to sit on a came for almost a week-how uncomfortable! I hope my camel likes me!

After the trip by camel, we’ve going to travel down the River Nile. We’ll start at Lake Victoria. A little way down the river from Victoria, the water actually gets quite rough. So, we’ll go white-water rafting. It’s quite dangerous, but very exciting! We have to wear special clothing, a helmet and a life jacket, just in case the raft gets turned upside down or sinks after white-water rafting, we’re going on a trip to see wild animals in Kenya. We’ll live with the local people in their villages, and eat and drink like they do, including cow’s blood! Do you think I should drink it?

Since we’ll be walking every day for almost two weeks, I’ll need to buy a large, strong, light backpack to carry my supplies of food and water. During the day, we’ll walk across the land, following the footprints of big animals such as elephants, lions and giraffes. We’ll try to get as close as possible to the animals, even though they’re dangerous, so that I can take some really good photos. But don’t worry about me―our Guides will have guns with them to scare the animals away if they come too close. I really want to see an elephant up close. Colin wants to see a giraffe.

After that, we’ll be moving on to Tanzania, where we’re going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Mountain climbing can be very tiring, and many people feel sick as the air gets thinner, so Colin and I will make sure that we will get enough rest after sunset. The African part of our trip will take about four weeks. Then we’re going to the Himalayas. I’ll send you postcards from all the different places we visit!

CISHAN,Aug 12-Hundreds of people were still missing today in remote villages in southern Taiwan and disaster officials said they were uncertain how many people might have been killed by mudslides triggered by Typhoon Morakot.

Morakot, which did terrible damage to Taiwan over the weekend, has killed about 70 people across the island and caused farm-related loss of more than NT  $9  billion (RMB 964 million). More than 100 people have been killed in Asia due to Morakot and tropical storm Etau.

But several hundred villagers listed as missing were found alive in areas where roads were washed out and access was limited to helicopters. The government sent special forces with satellite phones to the hardest hit areas."We are anxious to do our best to get the trapped people out," said Hu Jul-chou, an army official involved in the rescue effort. "Hopes are getting slimmer as the days go by."Hu said it was unclear how many people were buried and feared dead in villages in southern Taiwan.

"I have to say I feel pretty good to be alive," said Lin Dong-wen, 45, from the village of Namahsia, sitting in front of a pile of medicine after being hoisted away by a rescue helicopter."If I had been left there any longer, I wouldn't have made it. I saw the mudslide coming," said Lin after arriving in Cishan, hub of rescue efforts."It was really huge, and I passed out. When I awoke, there was mud all over and I climbed out of it."

Helicopters dropped food and supplies to survivors .Other rescue teams piloted rubber dinghies through raging muddy rivers.

Groups of anxious relatives awaited the arrival of helicopter flights at the makeshift rescue base.Some survivors tried to call relatives on mobile phones."Right after the mudslide, we managed to get in touch with our family members through mobile phones and text messages," said 41-year-old teacher awaiting news at the rescue hub. "But later they switched off their phones to save power."

45. From the text we know that _________________

A Morakot has made more than 100 people dead in Taiwan

B Morakot has caused as much loss to Taiwan as other parts

C Morakot stayed over Taiwan over the week

D Morakot has brought worries to the officials

46. The villagers who were thought to be missing_________.

A were trapped in some areas

B wouldn’t get in touch with others

C only liked to be taken out by helicopter

D wanted to keep the buried company

47.According to Lin Dong-wen,________

A the disaster lasted for a long time

B the village was destroyed in a flash

C he wanted to hold the mudslide

D the mudslide frightened him into unconsciousness

48.Which of the following is true according to the text ?

A  All the survivors trapped have been rescued by helicopters.

B  All the relatives can ring the survivors

C  The government has adopted other rescue forms.

D  The mudslide will become more serious.
