were killed by lightning in nepal. lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths during natural disasters in the us. the first is floods. around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those, 70 people die. that is, more people are killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes. because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters. if you hear the thunder, you are in danger from lightning, said rocky lopes, a disaster educator at the american red cross. thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any time, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until the storm has ended. the most important thing to remember is to seek shelter, lopes said. summer is the peak time for lightning storms, so when lightning strikes across the sky, remember these safety tips: stop working, fishing, swimming or playing in open fields. do not stand under a tree. get off bicycle and motorcycles. crouch down (蹲下) if there is no shelter. avoid open spaces, wire fences, metal objects and electrical objects such as hair driers. 26. in the us, _ is the most common cause of deaths during natural disasters. a. lightning b. tornadoes c. hurricanes d. floods27. of the people who are struck by lightning every year in the us, about _ people are lucky enough to survive. a. 400 b. 70 c. 330 d. 528. if you hear the thunder, the most important thing you should do is to _. a. stand still in the open spaces b. find shelter to hide in c. stand under the tree d. stop working in the fields29. which of the following is not true? a. floods are the most common cause of deaths in the us. b. less than 70 people are killed by tornadoes and hurricanes each year in the us. c. people dont pay as much attention to the danger of hurricanes as that of floods. d. if you hear the thunder, you should move indoors right away.30. which of the following is the best title? a. the danger of lightning b. some safety tips against floods c. how lightning happens d. 5 people killed by lightning in nepalbevery american family has its own ttraditions on thanksgiving day, and mine is no difference. once the national holiday arrives, my mom rises early to make the meal. she puts a turkey in the oven, chops carrots and bakes pies. im sorry to say that the men in the familymy dad, my younger brother and myselfrarely pitch in to help. our job is to wash the mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over.around 2 p.m. every thanksgiving day, family members seat themselves around the kitchen table. plates of turkey, vegetables, salad, rolls and pies cover it. at this point, we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling (流口水) all over our fancy clothes, but its not yet time to eat.first, we must bow our heads, close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks aloud to god for giving us everything we have. under normal circumstances, i would have no problem making a list of things i am thankful for. i grew up in a loving family. my parents, who arent wealthy, took out loans to help me pay for university.but, the funny thing is, every time i sit down for thanksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks, my mind usually goes blank. i think it has something to do with my growling (咕咕叫) stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose.eventually, though, we all finish our short prayers and dig in. to be sure, the day includes other highlightsvisiting with family and watching football. but usually around 6 p.m. we are all ourselves stuffed like turkeys and thankful to have a nice warm bed to sleep in.31the purpose of the text is to _.atell what the family do for thanksgiving daybtell how the family spends thanksgiving daycintroduce foods served on thanksgiving daydintroduce the american thanksgiving day32on thanksgiving day the authors family do the following except _.awatching a moviebmaking visitschaving a big meal dwatching football33why does the authors mind usually “go blank” when saying a prayer of thanks?ahe is too thankful to say a wordbhis mind is on the food before himche feels too excited to speakdhe is shy to speak in public34the underlined phrase “dig in” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “_”.achat with others bmake a holecmix things up dstart eating35what can we conclude from the text?aon thanksgiving day, men do nothing but eat.bthe author is a middle school student.cthe authors family is not rich, but its a loving one.dthanksgiving day falls on thursday of december.cas a young girl growing up in the 1930s, i always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. i got a taste of that dream in 2001. when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. but the experience turned out to be very dull. around that time, i told my husband that they were having an essay competition and the topic was experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, i decided to write about my dream. in the essay, i wrote about my desire to skydive, stating george bush sr. did it at age 80. why not me? i was just 84 and in pretty good health. a year went by and i heard nothing. but then at a community party in late april 2009, they announced that i was one of the winners. i just couldnt believe it. inspired by this, i decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.on june 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where i would land while i headed up in the airplane. my instructor, jay, guided me through the experience. the plane was the noisiest one i had even been in, but i wasnt frightened - i was really just looking forward to the experience. when we reached 13,000 feet, jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. when we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that i could hardly breathe. for a second i thought, what have i gotten myself into? but then everything got calmer. we were in a free fall for about a minute before jay opened the parachute (降落伞), then we just floated downward for about five minutes. being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything i have ever felt - much better than the hot air balloon. i was just enjoying it.skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. i hope other people will look at me and realize that you dont stop living just because you are 84 years old. if there is something you want to experience, look into it. if its something that is possible, make it happen.36what happened to the author in 2001?ashe flew an airplanebshe entered a competitioncshe went on a hot air balloon ridedshe moved into a retirement community37the
