In a small shelter, I met an elderly woman who was knitting scarves for the 63 . When I asked her why, she smiled and said, “In the darkest of times, a little 64 can go a long way.”

Last summer, my good friend Leo and I, both 65 to challenge ourselves, joined a survival camp in the forest. We were excited but also aware of the potential risks. Our goal was not just to survive, but to learn to live 66 nature.
On the third day, a disaster 67 . A sudden, powerful storm turned the peaceful forest into a scene of chaos. The sky grew dark, and the wind roared like a wild animal. We were scared, knowing we needed to find 68 immediately.
Leo, however, remained 69 calm. “This way!” he shouted over the howling wind, his voice filled with determination. He led me to a small cave he had 70 earlier. It was very small, but it protected us from the storm’s power. Inside, we huddled (蜷缩) together, sharing body warmth. Leo’s 71 and quick thinking impressed me deeply. He had shown great respect for the power of nature by not 72 and by making a smart decision.
That experience was a 73 of our friendship. Faced with danger, we neither complained nor 74 each other. Instead, we cooperated closely, pooling our efforts to stay safe. We weren’t trying to conquer the wild; we were learning to respect it and 75 refuge(庇护)within it.
When the storm finally passed, we stepped out of the cave into the calm, 76 forest. Our hearts were full of 77 —for our safety, and for each other. That day, our friendship grew beyond just fun and laughter. It was strengthened by a shared challenge, a trial we overcame through mutual trust and a 78 attitude. At that moment, I knew without doubt: Leo was a true friend, someone I could always 79 .

I was suddenly awakened at about 4 a.m. by a strange experience which I did not understand at first. I was 80 for a few seconds, as though I was in a cradle (摇篮). I heard 81 sounds in which I could identify the tinkling of pots, the rattling of windows, and certain deep rumbling noise 82 from the earth. After a few moments I realized, to my 83 , that it was the earthquake.
Others too in my house and neighborhood must have 84 it at the same time or a little earlier, because we all jumped up from our beds in a second and 85 out of our houses. The quake of the earth had stopped; yet we stood in the open for an hour, extremely 86 about another quake. There was nip (寒意) in the air that early morning, and the electric lights had 87 . People stood in darkness, talking about the earthquake and praying to God that it might not be 88 .
The quakes of the earth caused no damage in Mumbai. For several hours next morning we thought, with 89 to Nature, that the disaster had been 90 on the whole. But at about noon, bad news came that all the houses in parts of Latur had been 91 to the ground and hundreds of human lives 92 .
The destruction caused by the earthquake at Latur proved the 93 of man in the face of an unexpected natural disaster. He still has much to achieve in dealing with Nature. Isn’t it a(n) 94 that he is wasting away the natural resources and energy?

A storm with strong winds struck late on a Friday evening, knocking down trees, blocking roads, damaging homes, and destroying power lines.
Thousands of people 95 found themselves in the dark without water and electricity. They found themselves cut off from the modern world while 96 37℃ plus heat with no help and no idea when it would be over.
97 , the most amazing thing happened: It brought out the best in people. People 98 their food and ice. People who still had power 99 their homes to those who had none. People rushed out to clear roads, repair the damage and 100 electricity.
Neighbours 101 on front porches (前廊)to talk. People came together as one family to help one another in this time of great need. It was such a(n) 102 to see all these people acting like this under such 103 circumstances.

Kate was at home asleep on February 6 when a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the city where she lived. The quake caused 110 damage there.
Luckily, her beloved pet cat Pudding woke her up 15 minutes 111 the earthquake struck, 112 her to run away. When the quake hit, Kate jumped out the window of her home, only injuring her legs.
“If I hadn’t been woken up, I would have been in the 113 .” Kate said in comments provided to Newsweek by animal welfare nonprofit Humane Society International (HSI). “I do 114 Pudding because I can’t find her. I am alive, and there is 115 .”
Even after being 116 in the quake and sent to hospital, Kate didn’t give up — she posted an article on the Internet in a desperate (拼命的) attempt to 117 Pudding. HSI saw the 118 and began searching for the cat, but finally it was 119 .
Mr Smith, who was HSI’s director of animal disaster response (响应) , was helping to discover the exact 120 of Pudding. He asked Kate to send her a voice message calling the pet’s name in order to 121 the cat out. After a lot of patience, the method 122 and the frightened pet was finally saved.
Kate’s 123 shows that the amazing connection between humans and 124 can save lives during a terrible disaster like this.

On 20 December, in Newdale, a series of huge waves caused by an undersea Earthquake raced across the ocean near Goldshore. Worse still, it 125 thousands dead. Gold shore Beach was the only local beach to 126 the disaster without any loss of life. A 10-year-old girl, Sabrina Andron, helped around100 people escape danger with her 127 of tsunamis.
The day began like any other on Gold shore Beach. People were walking, running or simply sitting on the sandy beach, 128 the warm sea air and enjoying the soft 129 that brushed their hair. Sabrina was one of the happy tourists until she noticed something 130 . “The water was like the bubbles (气泡) on the top of a beer,” she later explained. “It wasn’t 131 and it wasn’t going in and then out. It was just coming in and in and in.” It hit her that these were the 132 of an upcoming tsunami, which Sabrina had just learnt about in a Geography lesson.
Sabrina was 133 , but she soon kept her head. She warned her parents of the 134 , though at first they just thought she was 135 . However, Sabrina was certain that a terrible disaster was 136 and kept asking her parents to talk to a safety officer. To her great relief, the officer 137 realized the coming danger. The beach was rapidly 138 of people, just before the huge waves 139 into the coast.

My aunt came to my home with her six-year-old daughter Alice this morning. While my aunt was talking with my mom, my cousin felt a bit 140 . So I suggested I went out with her. My aunt happily 141 . We went to the park together. There we bought two 142 and started flying them. She jumped up and down and I knew she was 143 having great fun. And I must admit I haven’t enjoyed myself like that for a long time.
Later, we sat down on a bench, looking at the gardens. As we were 144 there, Alice said, “What a great day today!” I smiled at her and agreed. I then started thinking about what we had done that day. We did something quite 145 , yet we were very happy.
Many people wait for their “best days”. But I think today is our 146 day. That’s a lesson I learn today. As adults, we often make plans 147 in order to have a great day. Some people think they can have a nice day through spending a lot of 148 . I think we should be more like 149 . They don’t think about money or what will happen tomorrow. They 150 live in the moment and enjoy the moment!
We often hear the expression that we should live in the 151 . How do we do that? We’re not doing such a 152 job. Remember today is important as we are exchanging a day of our 153 for it. Yesterday is a history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a 154 . That’s why it is called present. So seize the day!

Some animals live in families. Some live in big groups. And others live mostly by themselves. Animals have to find the right 155 of living so they can stay safe, take 156 of their babies, and find food.
A giant panda 157 eats bamboo, and it takes lots of bamboo to fill up a panda! To make sure there’s enough bamboo for everyone, each panda has a territory where it lives alone, except during mating (交配) time or when a mother is 158 her baby.
Lions are hunters. 159 , they live in groups. On the African plains, finding enough animals to eat is no problem. But 160 them is not easy. Lions have better luck when they hunt 161 . Eagles live and hunt together in lifelong 162 . A male and a female both help to 163 a nest of sticks and twigs (小枝条), lined with 164 grass. When the eggs hatch, one parent 165 at home to protect the young eagles while the other searches for mice or fish to eat.
Tigers are stealthy hunters who sneak up on prey such as deer or wild pigs — then pounce! But hunting is 166 . It can take 10 tries before a tiger gets a meal. Living 167 means there’s enough prey to eat and makes quiet hunting easier.
Herds of musk oxen crowd together for 168 . If a wolf comes too close, cousins, aunts, and uncles form a tight 169 , with their sharp horns (角) facing outward and their young safe inside.

In ancient times, Chinese caravans traveled across the Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang along the Silk Road to Central Asia and Europe. The camels 185 slowly across the vast desert. When the wind blew, the dunes made a loud sound. The “ 186 ” mixed with the sound of camel bells, adding a touch of 187 to the silent desert.
Legend has it that this area was once a 188 mountain called the Qingshi Mountain in ancient times. At the foot of the mountain, beside the Crescent Lake, were 189 many sacred temples. Operas were performed to 190 the Temple God on each temple fair day.
However, the deafening sounds of 191 one year annoyed the sleeping Yellow Dragon Prince in a nearby desert. The prince was cruel, 192 , and powerful. He used his magical power to move a large number of sand dunes into the area and 193 all the people underground. Those souls often cry, beat drums, and hit gongs to complain of their 194 . This is the legend of the singing sand.
These dunes are not only 195 for the noises that can be heard from the sand, but also the original state they return to every night, all footprints 196 erased.
As you approach, you become aware that the sand has many 197 ranging from red to yellow, green, black and white.
