“He came out ten minutes later carrying a bag I hadn’t seen before. The police still hadn’t arrived and I was determined not to lose sight of him.”

That’s when the drama really began .Ms Anderson followed the man to the station.“I was absolutely（完全地） terrified.” She said.“I followed him in my car to the station. He was on foot and when he got there I lost sight of him. I panicked（恐慌） but, a few minutes later, I saw him on the platform. Luckily, there were two policemen coming towards me.” The man had got on a train and Ms Anderson tried to hold the doors open with her foot. She called out to the officers, who caught the man and found CDs and jewelry in his bag.

Later, Seaford police thanked Ms Anderson for her help ,but warned her against such dangerous action in the future.

Answer the questions.

Big floods in Beijing and Tianjin last summer took the lives if nearly one hundred people.Most of them drowned,but a few people were electrocuted by power lines falling into the water. Cites like Beijing do not often experience big floods -it was called a once-in-a-hundred-year event-and the people in the cities were unprepared when the disaster came.

Climate change seems to be making “unlikely”weather events such as floods more common and it only makes sense to prepare ourselves for when disaster strikes. In the case of floods, just learning to swim won’t help you much. The water flows so fast and is so filled with floating debris（碎片）that even Olympic gold medal winner Ye Shiwen would have troubles keeping her head above water.

The first thing you should do is to take the warnings of heavy rains or typhoons seriously. You should stay home, listen to the news reports and wait for the waters to subside（回落）. If you live at ground level, move to a higher level. You should also call people to tell them you are safe so that they don’t risk their lives searching for you. It’s also a good idea to have a “grab”bag (an emergency bag)”ready at home filled with power bars（能量棒）,a flashlight and bottles of water. In a flood , the electricity is often knocked out and drinking water-becomes contaminated（被污染的）.

The most important thing is to stay calm and be patient. It’s the best way of keeping your head above water.

1.The people in Beijing and Tianjin got prepared when big floods came, didn’t they?

_______________________________________________________________.

2.Why would Ye Shiwen even have trouble saving herself if a flood comes?

______________________________________________________________.

3.Is it important to take the warnings of heavy rains or typhoons seriously or not?

_____________________________________________________________.

4.How can we stop people risking their lives searching for us in a flood?

We can stop people by ____________________________________________.

5.What should we put into our “grab bag”?

______________________________________________________________.

6.What will you do if a flood comes? Tell me your reason(s), please.

____________________________________________________________.
