    Every disaster is different. But doing these three things can help you prepare yourself and keep your family{#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

Do some research

    Learn about the kinds of disasters that can {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in your area. How could those disasters affect your home, phones, power and water?

Make an emergency(紧急情况) plan

    In a disaster, you can't always travel. Sometimes phones stop{#blank#}5{#/blank#}, too. Decide where family members should {#blank#}6{#/blank#} if they can't get home safely. Make a list of important phone numbers and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}for everyone to keep in their bag or wallet.

Prepare for the worst

    What will you take if you need to leave your home {#blank#}8{#/blank#}? Clothes, water and food are important. ID cards and bank information are also important. If someone in your family {#blank#}9{#/blank#} medicine, you should take that, too. Keep {#blank#}10{#/blank#}things together in one place. In that way, you can get them in no time if you need them.

    Wang Ping is a cleaner. He has {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in a park for 5 years. He is also a good father. Nothing can make him{#blank#}2{#/blank#} than playing with his little daughter in his free time.

    Last Tuesday afternoon, while he was {#blank#}3{#/blank#}the park, suddenly, he heard a woman crying for help. He ran up{#blank#}4{#/blank#} to see what happened. The woman's 15-month-old baby girl choked (窒息) on a small piece of pear and her face{#blank#}5{#/blank#} purple. The baby was too young to save herself, and the mother was so nervous that she didn't know how to save her daughter properly. Luckily, Wang Ping knew what to do. He took the baby in his {#blank#}6{#/blank#} without thinking twice. With the mother's help, Wang Ping held the baby upside down and gave her a few pats (轻拍) on the back. After a short while, he succeeded in getting the piece of pear out of her mouth, and the baby began to cry. Her mom was so thankful because her daughter was{#blank#}7{#/blank#}.

    Wang Ping tried his best and saved the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} life. In his mind, helping others is just helping {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. He hoped more people could {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to help the people in need if possible.

Dear Sara,

    I'm writing to you from Australia. I'm on a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} with my family here. We live in a beautiful hotel (旅馆) near the sea.

    It's eight o'clock in the morning now. I'm in my room. I can see the pool of the hotel {#blank#}2{#/blank#} my room. Some people are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} in it. I wish to join {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, but I can't swim. I can also see the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} hall of the hotel. Some people are eating their breakfast. Now my brother is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} sleeping. My mother is asking him {#blank#}7{#/blank#} up. We are going to the zoo today. I want to see koalas. They' re my favorite {#blank#}8{#/blank#} . I think we will have a good day. Oh, my {#blank#}9{#/blank#} is calling my name. I have to go now. I will {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to you again (再一次) tomorrow evening.

Miss you,
