Seeing so many cultures, Cao wanted to use her drawing skills to show the differences that she saw. So she created Tiny Eyes Comics. ''My experience shows that although travel is much easier and faster today, the distance between cultures doesn't shorten(缩短),'' Cao said. She hopes to build a bridge and break down misunderstandings between different cultures. One of her cartoons shows what kind of water people drink in different countries. She draws three glasses of water: The glass of water from the USA has ice; The one from France is sparkling(起泡的); The one from China is hot. Cao also uses her cartoons to show different ways of thinking and social customs. ''Her simple pictures played a big part in telling Chinese culture,'' an Italian magazine Grazia reported. Many foreign people say that Cao's comics help them understand China, while Chinese living in other countries feel that there is someone understanding them well.

Millions of families face floods, tornadoes and other natural disasters every year. In Australia, for example, its wildfires from 2019 to 2020 were caused by the high temperature and a drought, taking away the lives of hundreds of people and billions of animals. While you can't stop disasters from happening, you can stay safe during one if you know what to do. Flood Floods can happen very suddenly. Flood water can be deeper than it looks. It can carry you away, so stay away! Glass, snakes, and dirty things can be in flood water. They can make you sick, so don't drink it even if you are thirsty. Tornado A tornado happens during some storms. If there's a tornado warning, go someplace, such as a small and sturdy (结实的) bathroom, which is safe from the wind and flying things. Remember to keep away from windows or anything heavy that might fall on you. Earthquake You can stay safe during an earthquake by moving away from things that might fall. Get down under something that's strong if you can't rush out of the building right away. Protect your neck and head with your arm. If you're outside, go to an open space. Stay away from trees or anything that might fall over and hurt you. Bushfire Bushfires, also known as wildfires, are common across the world during the scorching days. It is important that you try to stay calm in a bush fire. Some fires can start so quickly that they threaten (威胁) homes and lives within minutes, so your safest choice is always to leave early. No one wants to be caught in a dangerous and extreme situation. If the unthinkable does take place, having a plan and knowing what to do could make all the difference to you and your loved ones. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 ( )31.
