They soon went on to other countries in the South and Southeast Asia as well as East Africa.
Tsunamis are especially dangerous for children. By Wednesday, nearly 60, 000 people died
because of the tsunamis. One third of them were children, and most of them were 5 to 12 years old.
In may Asian countries near the sea, poor kids helped their parents fish. So they were in harm"s way
when the tsunamis came. In Sri Lanka, when the first waves hit, thousands of children came to the
seaside. The waves brought in fish. The old and the young collected them. Many waited for more.
Then tsunamis six metres high hit the island of 19 million people.
""They got caught and could not run to safety. This is the reason why so many children have died,"
said a police spokesman in Sri Lanka.
In open seas tsunamis are only one or two metres high. When they are near land, they are as high
as 10 metres. Houses and cars near the sea can be taken away by these big waves. Because tsunamis
move fast and can travel to another side of the sea within on day, they may affect a lot of places.
The Pacific Ocean(太平洋)has a lot of strong tsunamis because of the size of the ocean and large
earthquakes there. China doesn"t
see tsunamis often because its sea floor is quite flat. Islands around China also help the country avoid them.
What should you do when there"s a tsunami? Move to a safe place. If you are near the sea and you
feel the earthquake, move to higher ground. Stay away from rivers and streams.
B. South and Southeast Asia as well as East Africa.
C. Only Indonesia and Sri Lanka.
B. Sri Lanka has a population of 19, 000, 000 children.
C. Most of the children who died in tsunamis were 5 to 12 years old.
B. sharks appeared and ate the children
C. they helped their parents fish near the sea and could not run to safety
B. Because of large earthquakes.
C. Because its sea floor is quiet flat.
B. Run to your parents for help.
C. Get to a safe place as soon as possible.

lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left
school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its
problems too.
One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and
housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that
I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom
use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more
important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising-and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem
preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
B. Moving to the countryside.
C. Leaving home for the city.
D. Running away from the school.

C. He prefers driving a car.
D. He lives in the city now.

B. By comparing.
C. By listing examples.
D. By giving explanations.

Serious called the boy"s parents at once. "If you don"t come to school with your son, I _7_ him having
classes," said he. The boy"s father hurried to school and went to every classroom with his son. _8_
students looked at the father and the son. The boy was embarrassed (不好意思). And after that, he

| "Track!" said my master. Like any good tracker-dog who has received the command(命令)he most loves, I gave a bark of excitement, put my nose down to the ground and sniffed. The ground was rich with smells. Even in the high-class housing area where we were working, the stones held traces of many soft and confusing scents (smells). As I searched for the scent that would give me a clue to the tail of the guilty man, my tail wagged slowly, thoughtfully, delightedly. Work was like play to me; I enjoyed it. A small group of people gathered behind us. Among these onlookers was the old caretaker of the building next door to ours. He spoke in a scornful voice, "You actually think your dog might catch a thief three days after the event?" My master said nothing, but I"m sure he must have smiled. I did not turn to look. I knew he would not speak unless it was to give me a new command. I needed to concentrate. My task was difficult. I had to pick out one scent among the many that lay about and then tracked it to its source. "You"re wasting your time," said the caretaker. I looked at him without raising my head. He was running his hand over his fat stomach. His rough palm and smooth shirt combined to make a slight noise. It was part of my training to be aware-often it is only a little whisper of a noise that alerts(提醒) you to be drawing of a weapon. But of course the aging caretaker was going to do no such thing. There was no smell of fear or nervousness about him. He was merely being clever and talkative. "I"ve seen many tracker-dogs in my time," said the caretaker to the onlookers. "I served with the police years ago. We would never have thought of using a tracker-dog to find a car thief. Impossible. Everyone knows that dogs are useless in such matters." In a sense he was right. I"m sure there"s no need to tell you that, just as a dog"s hearing is much better than a human being"s, so his sense of smell tells one thing from another far better than a great detective. If Sherlock Holmes could work out that a man had had an egg for breakfast by seeing the yellow stain on his mouth, a trained dog could tell you whether the hen that laid the egg was healthy or not. I know it sounds funny and I mean it to be. But I"m not exaggerating. A dog can tell you-if you understand a dog"s way of communicating-all this and more without even setting eyes on the man he is investigating. | ||||||||||||||
