In recent years, cases of wildfires have been increasing across the world. These fires destroy homes and the environment. According to the World Wide Fund for Nature, almost 3 billion animals were killed or lost their homes in the 2019-2020 Australian bushfires. In China, the total number of forest fires every year has increased to more than 2,000, according to The Paper.
Unlike other natural disasters, wildfires are most often caused by people. The good news is that this means people can help prevent wildfires, too!
How can you help prevent wildfires
Stay fire safe
When you start a campfire, clear the area around your fire pit (坑) and circle your pit with rocks. To put out your fire, mix water into the dirt and ash until it’s cool enough to touch. If it’s too hot to touch, it’s too hot to leave.
Never light a fire on a windy day
Do not use fireworks or firecrackers (爆竹) in forests.
Put used matches in a closed container or a cup of water.
Stay safe from the flames
Use a wet towel to cover your nose and mouth.
If there’s water nearby, soak your clothes with it.
If you find yourself next to a fire on a mountain, run downhill instead of up.

Being caught in a flood is quite dangerous. Like many other natural disasters, floods can happen with little or no warning. Floodwater moves quickly and it is known to pull trees out of the ground, wash away buildings and cause bridges to come down.
Of course, drowning (溺水) is a danger during a flood, not only because there is so much water and it is moving quickly, but also because of what the water is carrying. Pieces of glass, bricks and metal caught in the moving water can hurt anyone in the floodwater, making it more difficult to swim or walk through water.
Moreover, floods can cause power cut, traffic jams and wide destruction (毀滅). And the flood itself isn’t the only thing to deal with. The thing after the flood can be just as difficult, because it may not be possible to send basic supplies such as food and drinking water to the area.
So how to protect ourselves during the flood Here are some tips for you:
1. Avoid bridges that cross quickly-moving water, as floodwaters can cause bridges to come down,
2. Listen to the government’s radio for further instructions. If you are told to move to a safer place, do so.
3. Stay inside a car trapped by fast-moving water. Only get out if the water begins to flood the car itself, and then move to the top of the car.
4. Never try to walk, swim or drive through floodwaters. It only takes six inches of moving water to knock a person off their feet.
5. Stay away from ▲ , as they are often knocked down during strong storms and flooding. They can cause water all around to become charged, leading to people’s death because the power isn’t cut off.
After the flood, do not drink water or use it to wash dishes, brush teeth. Drink clean, safe water. If you moved from your home, return to it only after the local government have said it is safe to do so.
( )31. Where does this passage come from
A. A guidebook. B. A movie poster.
C. Local newspapers. D. A biology magazine.
( )32. Which of the following doesn’t make drowning a great danger during a flood
A. There is so much water.
B. The water is moving very fast.
C. The floodwater carries pieces of glass, bricks and metal.
D. Some of the people are not good at swimming.
( )33. Which of the following can be put in ▲
A. fallen trees B. power lines
C. hard rocks D. broken houses
( )34. What do we know about floods according to the passage
A. After the flood, it is easy for us to send basic supplies to the area.
B. Six inches of floodwater isn’t strong enough to knock people down.
C. If you are a good swimmer, you can swim across the floodwater safely.
D. Floods can cause a lot of problems not only during the flood but also after the flood.
( )35. This passage is written to .
A. tell us what causes the flood
B. tell us how dangerous the flood is
C. tell us how to prevent floods from happening
D. introduce floods’ danger and tips for protecting ourselves

Until the beginning of July, there has been no rain in northern Italy for over 100 days. Add to that the high temperatures, and the locals get very dry conditions. This has been the most serious dry spell (干旱期) for that area in the past 70 years. Because of this situation, the country’s longest river, the Po River is drying up!
This is bad news for several different reasons. The fresh water of the Po provides drinking water for northern Italy. Besides, farmers in this area need the water of the Po to keep their crops (谷物) growing. What’s more, the flowing river water is used to create about half of the hydroelectric power (水力發電) for Italy. Its drying up means that more natural gas (天然氣) will be used, which is bad for the environment.
There have been some interesting discoveries from this lack of rain, however. Between Florence and Milan, a long ship sunk (沉沒) in 1943 appeared because of the low water levels of the river. Now many tourists and locals come to see this ship. A German tank has also appeared out of water near Mantua. At other places along the river, people can even walk on the sandy river bed. Although this may be interesting, people in Italy and around the world are hoping for the return of rain to refill the Po!

Bad influences People have less drinking water from the Po. A lack of (缺乏) rain makes it 62. for crops to grow. People will 63. more natural gas, which is bad for the environment.
