Some common natural disasters include earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and wildfires. Earthquakes happen when two pieces of the earth’s crust suddenly move past each other. They can cause buildings to fall, roads to break, and people to get hurt. It’s important to know what to do during an earthquake: stay away from windows and heavy furniture, get under a strong table or desk, and cover your head. Floods usually happen when there is too much rain or when rivers overflow. They can cover houses and roads with water, making it hard for people to move around. If a flood is coming, you should move to higher ground as quickly as possible. Hurricanes are strong storms with heavy rain and strong winds. They can cause a lot of damage to houses and trees. Before a hurricane arrives, people should prepare emergency kits with food, water, and first-aid supplies. Wildfires are large fires that burn in forests or grasslands. They can spread quickly because of strong winds. If you are near a wildfire, you should leave the area immediately and follow the instructions of firefighters. ( )26.

What should you do if a wildfire is near you? A. Stay and watch the fire. B. Try to put out the fire yourself. C. Leave the area at once. D. Hide in a small room. Passage B Last month, a heavy rainstorm hit our town. It started at around 11:00 pm and lasted for about 6 hours. The strong wind blew down many trees and power lines. Many houses were flooded, and some roads were closed because of the water. I was sleeping when the storm started. I woke up to the sound of strong wind and rain beating against my window. I was a little scared, but I stayed in bed until the storm stopped. My parents checked the house several times to make sure everything was okay. The next morning, I went outside to see what happened. I saw many trees lying on the ground, and some cars were covered with branches. The streets were full of water, and people were cleaning up the mess. My neighbors helped each other to move the fallen trees and clear the roads. Our school was closed for two days because of the damage. During those days, I helped my parents clean our yard and gave food and water to the people who lost their homes. It was a hard time, but I learned that we can get through any difficulty if we help each other. ( )31. When did the rainstorm start? A. At around 9:00 pm.　B. At around 10:00 pm. C.
