taking action to be prepared, you can lessen the impact of an earthquake on your family. Set aside
some emergency supplies, and teach your family what to do at home during and after a disaster. You
could be without help for up to 72 hours, so learn to cope for at least that long.
Movement of the ground is seldom the actual cause of death or injury. Most casualties (意外) result
from partial building collapse and falling objects and debris, like toppling chimneys, falling bricks, ceiling
plaster, and light fixtures. Many of these conditions are easily preventable.
Because earthquakes occur without warning, it"s important to take steps now to prepare, so that you
know what you can do and how to respond-constructive, protective action is possible.
Have on hand for Any Emergency- Ideas for Home, Workplace, and Car.
Because you don"t know where you will be when an earthquake occurs, prepare disaster supplies.
B. parents
C. the public
D. teachers
B. Keep away from high buildings.
C. Learn some knowledge about the cause of earthquakes.
D. Know what to do in a disaster.
B. Earthquakes Occur Without Warning
C. How to Prevent Earthquakes
D. Cause of Earthquakes
答案
举一反三
is increasing by five percent a year. Urban noise is doubling every ten years. By air, land and sea, we are
facing an onslaught of noise that is threatening our ability to live in this world. We have granted ourselves
the right to make noise. But what about our responsibilities? Have we developed a sense of acoustic
responsibility?
The evidence suggests that we have not. Many people seem to believe they have an unlimited right to
make noise with cars and motorbikes, and with loud music at home and in the street. In some countries
measures have been taken to force people to make less noise. In Britain, for example, a law has been
passed preventing people from disturbing their neighbors with music at night.
It is widely accepted that we should deal with our rubbish in a responsible way. Noise is in reality a
particularly insidious form of rubbish. It destroys community life, pursues us into our homes, keeps us
from sleeping and is the cause of many stress-related illnesses, as well as hearing loss. Our acoustic
environment belongs to all of us. Everyone has the right to use it, but no one has the right to abuse it.
Let"s start using it responsibly.
B. pollution
C. sound
D. rubbish
B. British law protects people from their neighbors" music at night.
C. The level of noise produced in cities is twice as high now as ten years ago.
D. Noise can sometimes cause hearing loss.
B. call for people to make less noise
C. compare rubbish and noise
D. describe people"s attitude to noise

From: Jakie Mok, Secretary; Sports Development Committee
Date: May 20, 2010
A Week ago, "Sports for Life" programme was sent to the parents, requiring them to select a sport
they wanted their child to play. Since then, our staff have received lots of calls from parents asking for
more information about it. Here is a memo (备忘录) for your reference when you answer the phones:
Sports 1: Basketball
We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. Therefore, students should be advised
to sign up as soon as possible. Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park. To
cover the cost of hiring a bus, each student will have to pay $10 each time. There will be four basketball
courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game.
Sports 2: Gym
We will be using St. Peter"s Memorial Park. There are two reasons for choosing this park. First, it is
not very busy and crowded before 6:00 pm. Second, it has a lot of trees with plenty of shade. Students
must bring along two bottles of water to prevent thirst. Three activities, skipping, jogging, outdoor
aerobics (有氧运动), all of which are free of charge, will be arranged. And there will be a teacher on
duty for each of the activities.
Sports 3: Hiking. (远足)
Hiking will take place at Kowloon Peak. The activity will start at 2:30 pm and finish 90 minutes later.
Three teachers will accompany the students, and a hiking instructor will accompany each group of 15
hikers. Each instructor will cost $ 75/hr.
Sports 4: Swimming
The Kowloon City Aquatic Centre is a 10-minute walk from our school. Four teachers will go to the
pool and conduct the goings-on from the poolside. We will only be able to reserve the pool for one hour
(i.e. 2:45pm to 3:45pm). Only students skillful at swimming can take up this activity. The pool will have
two lifeguards present. Girls must wear a swimming suit. The cost is $10 per visit.

That"s what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept.
Could this be true ? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.
Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for
sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he
made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never
saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.
The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers.
The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They found only one answer that
might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several
days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure. Herpin died
at the age of 94.
B. large numbers of people do not need sleep
C. everyone needs some sleep to stay alive[
D. people can live longer by trying not to sleep
B. find a way to free people from the need of sleeping
C. find that his sleeplessness was not really true
D. find out why some old people didn"t need any asleep
B. needed no sleep at all
C. often slept in a chair
D. needed some kind of sleep
B. that he had gradually got tired of the sleeping habit
C. his mother"s injury before he was born
D. his magnificent physical condition
Internet, which are great ways. However, job fairs (招聘会) may open up more doors for you and allow
you to build a sound future career(事业).
A job fair allows many companies from your area, as well as other areas to gather together to recruit
suitable people to help the development of their business. These companies typically attend the job fairs
to accept new people into their team.
Take Cumberland in Maryland as an example, the job fair is held at the Holiday Inn"s large
meetingroom, which is next to the main hall. Dates change but the event lasts from 8 am until 6 pm throughout the whole week. The job fair is usually held several times every year; dates can be found in the
Cumberland Times News or on the newspaper"s website. Also, information about the companies that will be attending, is offered, along with these companies" web addresses for you, so that you can make more
preparations based on the needs of the companies you are interested in.
You must know that you can"t show all of your talents, skills and abilities on a resume (简历) alone, so
it"s important to leave a good and lasting impression in employers" minds in a very short time. So you must make sure that you have given your best to the employers. Get a handshake with all of the employers you
speak to and, introduce yourself clearly enough so that they will remember you in case you get an interview in the near future. Seldom, people are employed on these job fairs for the qualifications (资格证书) they
show.
You should take wi
th you at least 20 copies of your resume. Prepare a notebook and a pen to write down what is told you by the employers. This shows your interest and willingness to learn.
B. job fairs provide more chances than other ways
