There are many different kinds of disasters(灾难) around the world. As an adult, you know what to do during a disaster, but what about the children? Some adults think it would probably never happen to them, so they don’t teach their children what to do. Before it’s too late, here are ways to help you prepare your child for a disaster:

Educate: It is always good to let your child know about possible disasters. This doesn’t mean children have to live in fear. When teaching them about disasters, keep the conversation positive（积极的）by telling them there is a solution to the disaster. Keep the conversations short, allow for questions and answer honestly.

Prepare: Always be prepared. That is the best advice for children. For example, when preparing for bad weather, get the tools you need, like candles, radios, food, water and medicine. Teach your child what is needed in certain disasters so that they know what is available for them, if ever needed.

Plan: You should always have a plan for you and your child for any dangerous situation. Write out a simple list that they can read. The plan could start with “listen to an adult’s advice or call 119”.

Practice: Once you have got the correct safety tools and worked out the right plan, practice every few months. Practicing what to do during a disaster with your child will help them if the time comes.

Disasters can’t be avoided but they can be lessened（减轻）once you are prepared and ready for one.

Some children cannot wait to grow up. Because once you become an adult, you are free to make your own decisions. More importantly, you can do all those things that you cannot do now because you are too young. So, the question is, ‘At what age do you really become an adult?' Well, people become adults at different ages in different places.

In Australia, the 18th birthday is a very important event for young Australians because it means they can do almost anything they want. They can vote, learn to drive a car, get married, join the army and even buy their own houses. However, even if they can do all these things, most Australians have to wait until their 21st birthday to really celebrate becoming an adult. This is the traditional adult age not only in Australia, but also in the USA and the UK. It is their first year of true independence (独立).Traditionally, people were given a key to their houses by their parents when they turned 21, meaning they could come and go as they like.

Even though 21 is the traditional adult age in many English-speaking countries, the law nowadays is different in each country. In the UK, you can join the army at 16 and even get married at 16 if your parents allow. Young people in the UK can learn to drive a car at 17 as in Australia, although they have to wait until they are 18 to vote.

In China, there is a different age for each of the stages of becoming an adult. You can vote and learn to drive a car when you are 18, but if you want to get married, women have to wait until they are 20 and men until they are 22. Chinese people celebrate important birthdays every 10 years--so when young people turn 20, they can expect a big party!

No matter what age you are, becoming an adult is really about learning how to be independent and responsible（负责任的）. Once you are finally able to take care of yourself and make your own decisions, then you can say that you are truly all grown-ups.

1.Which of the following are truly adults according to the passage?

A. Independent grown-ups.                     B. Married people.

C. People who can drive.                     D. People in the army.

2.At what age do Australians really become adults?

A. 17.                     B. 18.　　　　　　　 C. 20.　　　　　　　　 D. 21.

3.What is the writer’s opinion about the age people become adults?

A. The age people become adults depends on whether they can vote or not.

B. The age people become adults depends on their own independence and responsibility.

C. The age people become adults depends on if they are eighteen years old.

D. The age people become adults depends on when they get the key to their houses.

4.Why do people in Australia get the key to the houses when they really become adults?

A. Because the law decides it.

B. Because they can leave when they want.

C. Because they can come home when they want.

D. Because it is a tradition.

5.What are adults free to do according to the passage?

A. They are free to decide when to celebrate their own birthdays.

B. They are free to look after themselves well.

C. They are free to make their own decisions.

D. They are free to make time move faster.

Every kid wishes to be an adult. Do you remember playing house as a child—pretending to be a grown-up like your parents? Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher? At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young.

But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia.

Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory(附属品).

Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book.

"Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee So-jung, a professor at Hankuk University(韩国外国语大学)of Foreign Studies.

He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together.

Tim Greenhalgh, an adviser in London explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They hold on to childhood because working life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.

“So,they can escape from increasingly busy and stressful lives that are hard to deal with,’’Greenhalgh said.

1.Why does a kid wish to be an adult?

A.Because he wants to be independent.

B.Because he doesn’t want to be controlled by adults.

C.Because he wants to experience the real world.

D.Because he believes there will be more exciting life ahead.

2.What can we infer from the passage?

A.Some Kidults refuse to grow up.

B.Some Kidults in Britain like reading on the subway.

C.Some Kidults think childhood is the best time of their life

D.All Kidults want to escape from the busy and stressful life

3.One of the advantages of the kidult culture is that________.

A.it can make adults face the real social life.

B.it can make our society young and full of life.

C.it can increase the sales of children’s books

D.it can lead to harmonious relationship between adults and kids

4.In the opinion of the Professor in a Korean University, kidults are ________.

A.Immature(不成熟)and weak B.necessary to our society

C.looked down upon D.getting more and more
