According to Department of Conservation scientists, it is important to have the right answer to that question. How to Be Prepared Electricity, water, gas and telephones may not be working after an earthquake. The police and fire departments are likely to be tied up. You should be prepared to fend for yourself for at least three days, preferably for a week. You'll need food, water and so on. It's also a good idea to decide ahead of time how and where your family will reunite if separated during a quake. You might choose an out­of­the­area friend or relative that family members can call to check on you. 纯话题阅读 If you're indoors, stay there. Get under a desk or table. The kitchen is a particularly dangerous spot. If you're in an office building, stay away from windows and outside walls and do not use the elevator. If you're outside, get into the open.

Avoid parking under or on bridges or overpasses. 纯话题阅读 After an Earthquake Check for fire. If you smell gas, shut off the main gas valve (阀). If there's sign of damage to electrical wiring, shut off the power at the control box. If the phone is working, only use it in case of emergency.

Be careful that things may fall out of cupboards when the door is opened, and also that chimneys can be weakened and fall with just a touch. Listen to the radio for important information and instructions. Remember that aftershocks, sometimes large enough to cause damage in their own right, generally follow large quakes. If you leave home, leave a message telling your friends and family your location. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在地震发生前如何做准备；地震发生时以及地震发生后应该采取什么措施。 写前导读 纯话题阅读 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It's also a good idea ... during a quake.”可知，在地震发生前，你要提前决定如何与家人重聚。故选A。 5．What is advised to do before an earthquake?

He had been trying to rescue his neighbors when his boat gave out, he told Ott. Together, they found his neighbors, one of whom was an old man “just about on his last breath”. They kept going and met many people in need of help.

The tornado in Kentucky caused at least 50 people's deaths, which was described as the worst in this state's history. 纯话题阅读 As one of the largest countries in the world, the United States is also one of the most geographically various countries—from deserts to forests to miles of coast line. While this comes with many advantages, it unfortunately leaves the country easily damaged by all kinds of natural disasters. Different parts of the United States face different types of natural disasters. The west coast is at risk of wildfires, earthquakes, and even volcanic eruptions. The southern part of the country is frequently hit by tornadoes, and the east coast faces the threat of serious hurricanes every year. Midwestern areas near rivers are often flooded by huge floods, and these are the worst floods in American history. 纯话题阅读 The governments reviewed the weather event in each state's history that caused the highest number of deaths to determine the worst natural disaster in every state. Thanks to their location and geographic research, some states could prepare ahead of time to avoid mass casualty (重大伤亡的) weather events.

Many such events, like the 1900 hurricane that hit Galveston of Texas, killed so many people that it was impossible to get an exact number of final deaths, especially during that time. 纯话题阅读 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了由于美国地理多样化，不同地区每年遭受着不同的自然灾害。 篇章导读 American weather continues to become more changeable.
