二、阅读理解。主题：人与自然——自然灾害·灾害防范

Last year, my father was busy working, my mother looked after my grandma and my sister started university, so I went to visit my aunt and uncle in Jamaica (牙买加) alone. There I experienced a hurricane (飓风).

I went to Jamaica in December, because between October and mid-December the weather isn't too hot. However, there are hurricanes during the time. Luckily, my aunt and uncle heard the warning on the radio before I arrived, so there was already lots of food and drink in their house. I was happy about that, because one of my favourite things about being in Jamaica is the food!

As the hurricane came, we closed the doors, and then we waited. It was a little boring at first. But when the wind crashed (猛撞) around the house day and night, I began to feel afraid. As we waited, we listened to the news on the radio. There was lots of water on the roads and on farms, and some trees and houses fell down. We stayed at home from Monday morning to Wednesday evening.

Finally the hurricane moved out to sea and then the sun came out again!
