This booklet is designed to help you and your family plan for and survive a major earthquake. By taking action to be prepared, you can lessen the impact of an earthquake on your family. Set aside some emergency supplies, and teach your family what to do at home during and after a disaster. You could be without help for up to 72 hours, so learn to cope for at least that long.

Movement of the ground is seldom the actual cause of death or injury. Most casualties（意外） result from partial building collapse and falling objects and debris, like toppling chimneys, falling bricks, ceiling plaster, and light fixtures. Many of these conditions are easily preventable.

Because earthquakes occur without warning, it’s important to take steps now to prepare, so that you know what you can do and how to respond — constructive, protective action is possible.

Have on hand for Any Emergency – Ideas for Home, Workplace, and Car.

Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake occurs, prepare a disaster supplies.

Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you, specifically, what the values are which Americans live by. They have never given the matter any thought.
Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to life in the United States. This has caused me to try to look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors, I am confident that the values listed in this booklet describe most （but not all ）Americans, and that understanding these values can help you, the international visitor, understand Americans.
It is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these 13 values are ingrained in Americans, they will then be able to understand 95% of American actions —actions which might otherwise appear “strange,”“ confusing,” or “unbelievable” when evaluated from the perspective （aspect） of the foreigner's own society and its values.
The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of that particular group. When you encounter （meet） an action, or hear a statement in the United States which surprises you, try to see it as an expression of one or more of the values listed in this booklet.
【小題1】 An ordinary American can't tell you his / her value system because______.

A．this is something an American lives by

      It could happen to you

Many people think there is no need to take special care over home safety.

“I’ all right, I’m insured(投保).”

  Maybe-----if you’re fully insured. Even then you can never recover the value you place upon your possessions, because you can’t insure against the suffering of mind that we all feel if our homes are torn apart by some strangers, our windows and doors broken, or our possessions ruined.

“It won’t happen to me.”

  Won’t it? A house is broken into every three minutes of the day. Loss of all kinds, including cars and things stolen from cars, happens every 35 seconds.

“I’ve nothing worth stealing.”

  You may think not. But in fact everyone has something worth a thief’s attention. And we all have things of personal value, even if they’re worth little or nothing inn hard cash.

“I’m only a tenant(房客) here.”

  The thieves don’t care whether you’re a tenant or an owner. You’re just as weak either way. Have a word with the owner if you think extra safety fittings are necessary.

“They all get in anyway.”

  Most thieves are on the lookout for easy pickings. They are soon discouraged by houses they can’t get into quickly and easily. So do pay special attention.

“This booklet(小冊子) will help you…”

  It’s based on the practical experience of police forces throughout the country. Most of the suggestions will cost you only a few minutes and thought. A few may cost some expense, but this is small compared with the loss and sadness you might otherwise suffer.

  If you are in any doubt, ask for free advice from the crime Prevention Office at your local police station.

60. The passage is mainly about _____.

  A. how to protect your home          B. how to take special care of ourselves

  C. how to hire a safe house in the country      D. how to escape being caught 61. What does the sentence “A few may cost some expense” in the last two paragraphs mean?

  A. You should pay for some of the suggestions.

  B. Following the suggestions means you will have to spend some money on home protection.

  C. some people are willing to pay for the suggestions.

D. Some of the suggestions are expensive.

62. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

  A. It’s impossible to prevent a house from being broken into.

B. Few people would like to get advice from the local police station.

  C. Some thieves are only interested in stealing things from houses protected well.

D. People should care more about home safety.
