I was born in Taipei City. In Taipei, we have natural disasters(灾难) such as typhoons and floods. We have several typhoons during the typhoon season from June until October. I remember that one summer vacation while I was studying in high school, a typhoon named Andrew came to our city. It still stays in my mind. Andrew brought rain, really heavy rain. The river near my house overflowed(溢出), and water began to come into my house. My parents, younger brother, sister and I moved out the most important things to the safe place. My parents and I moved the fridge up on the dining table. There was more and more water in our house. To keep safe, we had to move up to my cousin's house. His house was on the second floor. After the rain stopped, we went back home and cleaned up everything. There was much mud(淤泥) in our house, so it was really difficult to clean it up. But luckily, everyone in our home was all right.

We often hear about many disasters(灾难) in news. However, many of us still think, “Natural disasters won’t happen around me!” In fact, natural disasters could happen around anyone. Several kinds of disasters may happen in most cities. It’s important to know what to do before, during and after a disaster.
Robert Richardson is a doctor of first aid. He shares some advice on getting prepared for natural disasters.
The first thing to do is to do some research. Try to learn what kind of disasters once hit your city. Find out how people saved themselves after those disasters.
Another key point is to get ready for the basic needs. That means preparing enough water and food at home. When a natural disaster hits, you may have to stay inside your house for days!
Richardson also suggests developing an escape(逃生) plan. When a disaster happens, staying inside can be dangerous sometimes. You must think about where to go and how to get there before disasters.
1.From the first paragraph, we know many people think natural disasters _______.
A.are far from them B.happen very often
