Her name was Niu Yu. She lost her right leg in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. She was only 11 years old then. Niu Yu used to be in the sports team. She loved running in the school. But the disaster broke her dream. She had to live with an artificial leg. It wasn't comfortable, and her leg often bled. People's curious eyes made her even more uncomfortable. She always tried to hide her leg under jeans or dresses. With the support of her family and friends, Niu Yu slowly came out from the shadows. In 2018, right before her 21st birthday, she decided to stop hiding her leg. To her surprise, she received lots of encouraging words. She also finished a half marathon in about 4 hours. She completed the hard 10-year journey of finding herself again. Now Niu Yu shares her story on social media. She listens to disaster survivors and encourages them to look forward. In 2023, she carried the torch at the FISU World University Games. "It is a great honour for me," she said. "But it is also a good chance to show people the power of being brave." A disaster can bring a lot of pain. But we should always face it with courage. As the writer Nora Ephron once said "Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim." 1.

By six o'clock the next morning, many buildings were still shaking. We decided to leave the town. The road was crowded. We were at a place out of town. Just then, shocking things happened. Our coach couldn't go straight ahead. It began to move from side to side. The sea moved back suddenly, and many sea animals were left on the sand. We noticed a very dark cloud over Mount Vesuvius. Soon, the cloud moved down and covered the sea. My mother asked me to continue without her, but I refused to leave her behind. We moved on while the cloud was spreading over the land like a flood. It turned day into night. The air was thick with smoke and ash began to fall in heavy showers. All around us, women were calling, children were crying and men were shouting. People were trying to find their families in the dark. Thankfully, after a while, the daylight returned! Everything was covered in ash, like the snow in winter. After a night of living between hope and fear, we had no thoughts of things to come. 6. Where were the writer and her mother staying? A. In a town near Pompeii B. On Mount Vesuvius C.

No matter what kind of disaster it is, it always brings pain and loss. But people can choose to face it with courage. Niu Yu is a good example. She lost her leg in an earthquake, but she didn't give up. She finished a half marathon and became a symbol of bravery. For people who experience disasters, it's normal to feel sad and scared. But it's more important to get support from family and friends and keep going. When a disaster happens, it's also important to know how to protect yourself. For example, during an earthquake, you should hide under a strong table and avoid windows. After the earthquake, you should leave the building quickly and stay away from damaged areas. Learning these skills can help you stay safe in emergencies. 11. Which of the following is a natural disaster? A. A traffic accident B. A fire caused by carelessness C. A volcanic eruption D.

What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to avoid natural disasters B. The story of Niu Yu after the earthquake C. We should face disasters with courage and learn self-protection D. The differences between natural and man-made disasters D Bravery is not the absence of fear. It is the ability to face fear and keep going. Many people around us show bravery in different ways. Niu Yu lost her leg in an earthquake, but she didn't let the disaster defeat her. She chose to accept herself and encourage other survivors. Her story tells us that being brave means loving yourself and looking forward. Another example is the writer and her mother in the Pompeii disaster. When the earthquake and volcanic eruption happened, they stayed together. The writer refused to leave her mother behind. Their story shows that being brave also means caring for the people we love. Bravery is around us. When you stand up to speak in front of your class, that's bravery. When you help a stranger in need, that's also bravery. Every small act of courage can make a difference. 16.

She lost her leg in an earthquake, but she didn't give up. Instead, she finished a half marathon and encouraged other survivors with her story. Bravery doesn't mean there is no fear. It means we keep going even when we are afraid. When I failed my English exam last term, I felt sad. But I didn't lose heart. I asked my teacher for help and practiced every day. Finally, I got good grades in the next exam. Life is full of difficulties. Let's be brave and face them with a strong will. We will become stronger and better. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
