We often hear the phrase: “You have a greater chance of being struck by lightning. ”It is used to describe something that hasn’t got much chance of happening. However, the common saying undermines(掩蓋)the very real dangers of lightning.
Last Friday, at least 5 people were killed by lightning in Nepal(尼泊爾).
Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths during natural disasters in the US. The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those, 70 people die. That is, more people are killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes.
Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters.
“If you hear thunder, you are in danger from lightning, ”said Rocky Lopes, a disaster educator at the American Red Cross.
“Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any time, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until the storm has ended. The most important thing to remember is to seek shelter,”Lopes said.
Summer is the peak time for lightning storms, so when lightning strikes across the sky, remember these safety tips:
*Stop working, fishing, swimming or playing in open fields.
*Do not stand under a tree.
*Get off bicycle and motorcycles.
*Crouch down(蹲下)if there is no shelter.
*Avoid open spaces, wire fences, metal objects and electrical objects such as hair driers.
Of the people who are struck by lightning each year in the U.S.A., about ____ people are lucky enough to continue to live.
A. 400 B. 330 C. 70 D. 5
If you hear the thunder, the most important thing you do is to _____.
A. find shelter to hide in B. stand still in the open spaces
C. stand under a tree D. stop working in the fields
Which of the following is NOT true?
A. If you hear the thunder, you needn’t move indoors right away.
B. Fewer than 70 people are killed by tornadoes and hurricanes each year in the U.S.A.
C. People don’t pay as much attention to the danger of lightning as that of floods.
D. Floods are the first most common cause of deaths during natural disasters in the U.S.A.

The Oxford Mal, England
Most prisons are the kind of place you’d be desperate to escape from, not somewhere you’d possibly conceive of escaping to.
But this former Oxford prison has been converted into a boutique hotel by the fashionable Malmaison chain and offers the kind of luxurious living that former convicts could only have dreamed of.
Rates: Double room £140 (US$233). Breakfast £12.95 per person
Jules’ Undersea Lodge, United States
Originally a research laboratory, the world’s only underwater hotel sits at the bottom of the Emerald Lagoon in Florida, and can only be reached by scuba diving down six meters.
The lodge can accommodate two couples and is kitted out with showers, a microwave and a fridge.
The real attractions are the fish; the lodge is like a goldfish bowl in reverse, where you sit and watch angelfish, parrotfish, barracuda and snappers peering in at you through the window.
Rates: From US$400
Das Park Hotel, Austria
Stay overnight in a concrete sewer pipe on the banks of the River Danube.
The drainpipes are two meters in diameter and two and a half meters long, with a porthole to look out of, a front door to close and a cozy nest to snuggle into, which includes a low-slung futon, bedside lamp, woolly blanket and light sleeping bag.
Rates: You pay as much, or as little, as you want.
Sant` Angelo Luxury Resort, Italy
“Four-star boutique cave-hotel” is the proud boast of the Sant’Angelo in the city of Matera, which is famous for its sassi-houses dug into the rock.

The rooms have been fashioned from old sassi stables and workshops. There are two restaurants, a bar and an art gallery.
Rates: A three-night package costs from US$560 per person including some meals, a walking tour and car hire, but not flights.

Competition. It’s a simple word, yet a very complex word that covers many angles when it comes to how gasoline prices are determined. It seems so easy to explain, but don’t let that trick you—it’s incredibly difficult to explain and adequately understand.
Say you’re on a Sunday afternoon drive, and notice a gas station near you charging $3.50. Down the road a few miles, that price could easily be 10 or more cents higher or lower. The question is “how” or “why” is that? Think of it this way. Are you more likely to get a better deal on a car if there are two similar car dealers next to each other? Perhaps, because the dealers are too close. Say there is a third similar car dealer miles away. Is he going to be at the same level of competition and sell his cars for the same price as the two dealers next to each other? Likely not. He may charge more or less. Maybe people don't know there are two other dealers down the road. Maybe the dealer is almost outside of the city and the land value isn't as high, so his taxes aren't as high.
These situations do take place at gas stations. And more factors can impact what a station will charge. Timing can greatly impact what price a station charges as well! Many motorists fail to realize that the price a station pays for gasoline changes daily. If one station gets lucky and buys gas on Monday and the cost goes up Tuesday, the station that bought on Monday doesn’t necessarily have to raise prices like the station that bought on Tuesday. Maybe the station that got caught buying for a higher price on Tuesday will pass that higher cost on by raising its gas price.
Perhaps the difference is what brand the station is---branded stations usually pay a slightly higher cost for their gasoline. In return for paying a higher cost, those stations are guaranteed first supply in case of emergency situations. Independent stations don’t pay as much, but aren’t guaranteed supply.
While competition sounds easy to understand, there are always a large number of factors that could influence what one station charges. Keep in mind how many variables there are next time you fill up.
【小題1】What could be the best title for the passage?
A.How Competition Impacts Gas Prices |
B.Gas Prices Go Up or Down |
C.Competition---a Very Complex Word |
D.We Can’t Stress Enough the Need for Competition |
A.car prices are determined by car dealers |
B.location is an important factor in pricing |
C.the quality of service matters most |
D.dealing strategy should be flexible |
A.a(chǎn) gas station always wants to charge more |
B.the gasoline is in great demand |
C.the cost of the gas the station buys varies daily |
D.gas is in greater need on Monday |
A.spend less money on their gasoline |
B.have more staff than independent stations |
