Imagine that you are the first person ever to see Hawaii. What would be the first thing you would set
foot on?
The beach, naturally. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. These
islands cover l,600 miles and are about 2,300 miles west of California. Most of them are covered with fine
white sand. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.
Another wonderful thing about the beaches of Hawaii is the water temperature. The year-round average
(平均) temperature of the water at the famous Waikiki Beach is 23℃!
The same is true of air temperature. In fact, there are no real seasons in Hawaii. There is a difference of
only two or three degrees between the hottest day of summer and the coldest day of winter. That"s why the
Hawaiians don"t have a word for weather in their language.
Perhaps the nicest thing about Hawaiian beaches are the waves. The earliest settlers (定居者) in Hawaii,
the Polynesians, quickly leamed how much fun it was to ride the waves. They developed a sport which is
now very popular on the islands called body surfing. You go out into the ocean, wait for a big wave to come
towards you, jump on it, and ride it all the way to the beach.
Now imagine once again that you are the first person ever to set foot in Hawaii. What do you think would
be the second beautiful thing you would notice? Would it be those strange triangles ( 三角形状物) rising out
of the water hundreds and hundreds of meters high? What are those beautiful things? They are volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands. They made the islands at first. Because of
them the islands are still growing.
The most famous volcano on Hawaii is Mauna Loa. It is the world"s most active volcano. It has been
erupting (喷发) for thousands of years. Even when it isn"t erupting, smoke comes out of the earth from a
thousand little holes.
In 1950 Mauna Loa erupted for twenty-three days. That erupting produced the greatest amount of lava (熔岩) in modem history. In 1960 it erupted again. That time it added a kilometer of beach to the island. Because
Mauna Loa has erupted so often, it has become the biggest (but not the tallest) mountain in the world.
These volcanoes could be dangerous to the population of Hawaii. In fact, hello, the second largest city in
Hawaii, is built just under Mauna Loa. The volcano could erupt at any time. Most people believe that it will
erupt sometime in the next twenty-five years. But the people of Hilo do not seem worried. They live with the
danger as part of their lives. |

Most people do not like to think about disasters (灾难) , so they do not prepare for them. This is a deadly
mistake. Whether you can be alive or not is decided by preparation. Here are some tips that could save your
life.
1. Getting through the first hour
● Choose an out-of-town person that each family member can call after the disaster if you become alone.
Besides, choose two nearby places where family members know to meet. One shouid be close to your home.
The other should be outside your neigh- bourhood. Keep your important papers at the bank or another safe
place.
● Leave a disaster-supply kit (一套装备) ( see Part 5) near the front door. Make sure you keep it filled with
fresh food and water.
● If you are advised to move to the safe place, leave the area right away.
2. The disaster-ready home
You may have some time to prepare before certain types of disasters. Take hurricanes (飓风) as an example.
● Bring in anything that could fly around or blow away.
● Prepare your car for leaving. ·Fill bottles with drinking water.
● Keep your radio on for weather information.
3. The safest places
● Hurricane: stay in an inside space with no windows. Class could break and hurt you.
● Earthquake(地震) : get under the nearest heavy desk or table. This will protect you from falling things.
4. Preparing for the worst -do this now!
● Hurricane:during the hurricane season, keep a two-week supply of drugs. Have wood and nails (钉子)
ready to cover windows.
● Earthquake: move beds away from windows, heavy pictures or mirrors. Place large and / or heavy
objects on lower shelves. Learn how to shut off the electricity and water.
5. Your disaster-supply kit
● First-aid (急救用的) kit and drugs; spare clothes; a radio; car keys; important phone numbers. |

part for building a strong society. But there are still some people who don"t believe family life can be an
enjoyable experience.
Some people already accepted the idea of the "me generation" so they fail to understand that there is a time
in life when they have to give up their time to something more valuable.
At a time when adults need to think about the needs of their family, they will be doing other important
things. Some people will spend too much time working for a more powerful car or a bigger house so that
they can proudly say that they have them. Some will be doing dangerous things so that they may tell their
stories to their friends, and others will recite things like "I must become the best I can be" or "I don"t want
to be at the bottom. "The needs of their family will be forgotten and they never seem to have time for the
family.
Many people have not experienced a strong helpful perfect family life, so they have never discovered its
worth. Many people have always experienced family life as a fight, so they can"t find time and energy for
work.
But it is really very important that we all expect good family relations. We need to realize and value the
importance of what can be achieved by loving each other in the family. It is also important for our society
to encourage family members to create happiness. | | 1. What does the writer expect family life to be like? | A. Happy experience.

D. A fight. | | 2. What is meant by "me generation"? | A. I will do whatever the family want me to do.
B. Nothing is more important than myself.
C. I always agree with people around.
D. The generation is my age group. | | 3. Why haven"t some people discovered the worth of family life? | A. They are not married.
B. They grow in a happy family.
C. They don"t live with the family.
D. They have never enjoyed family life. | | 4. What is the writer"s purpose of Writing the passage? | A. To ask people to study family life.
B. To tell people to work hard for the family.
C. To advise people to create happy family life.
D. To give people some examples of family members. | 最新试题
