21、It's a warm summer afternoon. You're cooking over a campfire. Suddenly, a few raindrops fall on your arms, and before you know it, the sky is opened up. Then you hear what sounds like thunder in the distance. What should you do? Your tent is close by and would offer shelter from the pouring rain. There's a campsite (野营地) a few minutes down the path. And then you remember that your car is parked down the road. What's your safest choice to make sure you and your families are safe?
It's a common question for many hikers and campers, especially when they're camping during summer months. Heading for your car is almost always the safest choice. Your tent and a shelter will keep you dry, but they offer little or no protection against lightning. Your car, on the other hand, will keep you dry and protect you from lightning strikes. Protecting yourself against possible lightning strikes is very important; lightning kills an average of 62 people in the US each year. If you keep all of the windows and doors closed in your car, you'll be able to return to your campsite safely.
Of course, if you're backpacking, not car camping, and if you're deep in the woods, your car won't be a good choice. So, what should you do if your car is far away and there's no other safe shelter nearby? First, you'll have to make sure that tree limbs (大树枝) or other objects don't fall on you or your campsite. Then you'll have to get in a safe position to avoid lightning, or flash flood conditions.
【1】What does the passage want to tell us?
A.When to start camping.
B.How to camp safely in the woods.
C.How to survive a storm when camping.
D.Where to camp safely in summer.
【2】To avoid lightning in a storm, you'd better ________.
A.go into your tent quickly
B.stay around the campfire
C.run into a campsite at once
D.get into your car
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.People should not go camping alone.
B.People should never camp deep in the woods.
C.Backpacking is not a good choice for campers.
D.Finding a shelter when camping without a car is important.
【4】What can we know about camping from the passage?
A.Campers like car camping best.
B.Lightning is a danger for campers.
C.Young people like backpacking best.
D.Camping during summer months is the most popular.
22、Every morning Grandpa got up early and sat at the table to read his books. His grandson tried to do the same.
One day, grandson said, “Grandpa, I tried to read those books just like you did, but I forgot what I had read as soon as I closed the books. What good does the reading do?”
Turning around, the old man pointed to a dirty basket beside the table and replied, “Take this basket down to the river and bring back a basket of water.”
The boy did as he was told, but all the water was all gone before he got back to the house. Grandpa laughed and said, “You have to run a little faster next time.”
Again, the boy did as he was told. But the basket was still empty before he reached the house. Out of breath, he told grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket. He decided to get a bucket instead.
But Grandpa said, “I don’t want a bucket of water. I just want a basket of water. Maybe, you’re not trying hard enough.”
Again, the boy did as he was told. But when he ran back, the basket was still empty. He said breathlessly, “Grandpa, it’s useless!”
“Do you think so?” Grandpa asked, “Look at the basket again.”
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It had been changed from a dirty basket to a clean one.
