On September 13th，I woke up in the best mood. It was a late start，so I got to sleep in. Not only did I

get my full eight hours of sleep，but an additional two more hours as well. I got ready，danced in my room to

my favorite music while I picked out my clothes，made my lunch，and was on my way to school. I arrived at

9: 50 a．m. Little did I know，in the next 20 minutes，my life would change forever. As I got out of my

classroom，there he was，holding the gun.

Although everything happened so fast，in a matter of about 4 minutes，I remember it clearly. I remember

every face I saw，and I remember every sound I heard. I remember the fear and the panic of the unknown.

And lastly，I remember running. Running for my life. I ran down the stairs，out of the school's front doors，

and down the street to the primary school. I remember looking down at my feet. As I looked down I thought

to myself，“How am I running so fast？”

I finally made it to a safe classroom，and 20 other students and I settled in for lockdown. We stayed

close to one another and cried. It felt as though the tears going down our faces would never stop. We passed

our phones around to text our loved ones that we were safe and that there was a school shooter，shots were

fired，and 4 students were injured thus far.

The lockdown lasted about 30 minutes，even though it felt like forever. Our headmaster made his way to

our room and explained that the shooter had been caught and we were all going to make our way to the

football field.

What can be both red or green, round or sharp, big or small, and more importantly, loved or hated by

someone? Yes, the answer is chilies (

辣椒

).

Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies to our food, but did you know that this spicy (

辣的

) vegetable

could also be dangerous? A 34-year-old US man recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper,

the spiciest chili people have known so far. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from

serious headaches in the following days, reported BBC News.

In fact, eating spicy food causes stomachache and headache. But if chilies are harmful, why do people

like to eat this vegetable? So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body is influenced by

natural chemicals that produce “a sense of happiness”, noted BBC News.

And chilies do good to people in another way. Scientists found that the death rate of those who eat spicy

food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The death rate is

14 percent lower for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. This encourages people to eat more

spicy food to improve health and bring less death risk at an early age. So, don’t worry if you love spicy food.

It seems that chilies are actually good for us.

There are many different kinds of disasters 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(解决办法) 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 and/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.

D (2018娄底市)

Robert and his brother were playing football in their front yard. Suddenly a woman ran out of her house

shouting to them to call an ambulance(救护车). Her 12-week-old baby seemed to stop breathing. She was so

scared that she couldn't find her cell phone, so she had decided to rush outside to ask for help.

As the woman was trying to do CPR(心肺复苏术) on her baby, young Robert came in and told her she

was doing it all wrong. He asked her to use two fingers, push on the chest 5-10 times, tilt(倾斜) the baby's

head, plug(堵住) the nose and then do a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation by breathing into the baby's mouth.

Luckily for the baby, the woman accepted Robert's advice. Just for a second, came a loud cry from the

baby. Soon the doctors came and the baby was sent to hospital.

The most amazing part of this story is that Robert has not attended a CPR class. Instead, he learned it all

by carefully reading the posters(宣传画)on the walls of his school hall. And, while he is now being called as

a hero and even interviewed on TV, he is just glad to have saved the baby's life！“Thanks to the posters on the

walls, he could save the kid！” his teacher said to the reporter proudly.

Nature's Warnings

When the sky suddenly turns dark and the wind is strong，watch out! A dangerous storm might be

coming. Storms are scary. Watch for flashes of lightning. Listen for thunder. If nature sends these warnings，

don't wait for rain. Act right away to keep safe.

Safety Steps

At the first flash of lightning，quickly get inside a building or a car. Do not go into a shed(棚) for

protection. It is not closed like a building，so it is not safe.

Even after you are indoors，be careful. It is not smart to go near doors and windows. They can blow in or

break. A room with no windows is the safest place to be.

Do not wash your hands during a storm. Do not use anything that runs on electricity either. Water and

electrical lines are like roads for lightning. Even if you really want to play computer games，don't! It is better

to be bored than to risk getting hurt. Try reading a book instead. Reading is more fun than playing computer

games.

If you can't get to somewhere safe，stay out in the open. You may feel safe under a tree，but that is not a

good place to be. Lightning is pulling toward tall poles and trees. Stay down in an open space and cover your

cars to protect them. Loud thunder can damage your hearing.

Lightning Strikes

Lightning does not strike people very often. It is not likely that you will ever see that happen. If you do，

call 1-2-0. Only trained emergency workers should care for a person who has been hit by lightning.

If you follow these rules，you should stay safe during a storm.

( )1. From Paragraph 1，we learn that ________.

A. storms are frightening and harmful B. storms often come without warnings

C. people should wait and watch lightning D. people should take action after the storm

( )2. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．

A. A building B. A car C. A room D. A shed

( )3. During a storm you had better ________.

C. leave the room and stay out D. find a closed or an open place

( )4. If a person is hit by lightning，you should ________.

A. call for emergency help B. stay down in a safe space

C. move him or her to safety D. cover his or her ears quickly

( )5. The best title for the passage is ________.
