Here is David Willis.The storm with winds of up to 75 miles an hour struck India’s southeast coast, flattening homes, destroying crops and cutting transport links. Eyewitnesses reported tidal waves more than 12 feet high. The storm was followed by torrential rains, which swept away roads and railway lines, and flooded low lying areas. More than 40 people are thought to have died when a ferry sank. But most of the deaths have been due to flooding, houses collapsing or elctrocutions. More than 100,000 people have been evacuated from their homes and are taking shelter in relief camps. After surveying the flooded area by helicopter, the chief minister said it resembled a burial ground. He’s appealed to the federal government to treat the incident as a national calamity. David Willis.1. The worst of the heavy rains and thunderstorms appears to be overin parts of EuropeDuring the past weekAffectedAt least fivebecause emergency warnings were issued before.1. c2 b3. d4. bNine hours Greenwich Mean Time. The news read by Wendy Gordon. The worst of the heavy rains and thunderstorms that have been sweeping parts of Europe during the past week appears to be over. Exceptionally heavy rainfall brought flooding to many parts of Germany, Switzerland, Northern Italy and France and chaos to rail and road transport.Although most flights are expected to be back to normal by this time tomorrow, there are expected to be serious delays on the German and Italian motorways over the forthcoming holiday weekend and train services are unlikely to be normalized for several days. A government spokeswoman in Frace announced that the damage to homes and property is expected to be at least four thousand million francs. It is reported that at least five people have lost their lives. Experts agree that casualty figures are low because emergency warnings were issued on the day before the storms began. The federal government in Switzerland has urged motorists and rail travelers not to travel during the next few days and no international traffic will be allowed on the main north-south motorway routes across the country until next Tuesday.Part III. EarthquakesA.Another earthquake, the fifth in three days, hit Japan last night. Hundreds of homes have now been destroyed or badly damaged, and thousands have been made homeless since the earthquakes started. Many of the homeless have begun to make themselves makeshift shelters fom the rubble. Electricity, gas and water supplies have also been seriously disrupted. Experts believe that the country will be hit by more quakes during the next 48 hours.C.I. A. Sunday/ the 23rdB. in southern ItalyII. A. at least 400B. many more than 400III.

A. 1. the fog2. the cold weatherB. roadIt’s eight o’clock on Monday the 24th of November. At least 400 people are feared to have died in a major earthquake which shook large areas of southern Italy last night. As rescue work continues in wide areas of southern Italy it is becoming increasingly more likely that the present toll of 400 dead will rise much higher. The tremors were felt all over Italy, from the French border to Sicily, but the worst damage appears to be in small towns and villages, many of them very isolated, outside Naples. Naples itself has also been badly affected. In a little village about sixty miles east of the city scores of people are thought to have died as the earthquake hit a village hospital and a local church as well as many private homes. It appears that there was an evening service going on in the church at the time.In Naples it was the old part of the city which was worst affected—many buildings of eight or nine stories broke apart and collapsed as the earthquake hit at around 8 p.m. last night. A large proportion of inhabitants spent the night in the open in the streets or squares and as smaller tremors continue, more chaos has ensued as townspeople rush for the countryside, blocking roads and causing traffic jams. Telephone lines have been broken and electricity and water supplies are failing—the fog and cold conditions are making rescue operations very difficult in some of the remoter parts of the south particularly where road conditions are not very good.Our own correspondent has been to the disaster area and sends us this report.Part IV Earthquake TipsDuring an earthquakeWhen you feel an earthquake, duck under a desk or sturdy table. Stay away from windows, bookcases, file cabinets, heavy mirrors, hanging plants, and other heavy objects that could fall. Watch out for falling plaster and ceiling tiles. Stay undercover until the shaking stops, and hold onto your cover. If it moves, move with it. Below are some additional tips forspecific locations:If you are in a high-rise building, and not near a desk or table, move against an interior wall and protect your head with your arms. Do not use the elevators. Do not be surprised if the alarm or sprinkler systems come on. Stay indoors. Glass windows can dislodge during the quake and sail for hundreds of feet.If you’re outdoors, move to a clear area away from trees, signs, buildings, electrical wires and poles.If you’re on a sidewalk near buildings, duck into a doorway to protect yourself from falling bricks, glass, plaster, and other debris.If you’re driving, pull over to the side of the road and stop. Avoid overpasses, power lines, and other hazards. Stay inside the vehicle until the shaking is over .If you’re in a crowded store or other public place, do not rush for exits. Move away from display shelves containing objects that could fall.If you’re in a wheelchair, stay in it. Move to cover, if possible, lock you wheels, and protect your head with your arms.If you’re in the kitchen, move away from the refrigerator, stove, an d overhead cupboards. (Take time now to anchor appliances, and install security latches on cupboard doors to reduce hazards.)If you’re in a stadium or theater, stay in your seat and protect your head with your arms. Do not try to leave until the shaking is over, then leave in a calm, orderly manner. Avoid rushing towards exits.After the earthquake checklist.Be prepared for aftershocks, and plan where you will take cover when they occur.Check for injuries. Give first aid, as necessary.Remain calm and reassure others.Avoid broken glass.Check for fire. Take appropriate actions and precautions.Check gas, water, and electric lines. If damaged, shut off service. If gas is leaking, don ’t use matches, flashlights, appliances, or electric switches. Open windows, leaving building, and report to gas company.Replace all telephone receivers, and use for emergency calls only.Tune to the emergency broadcast station on the radio or television. Listen for emergency bulletins.Stay out of damaged buildings.Part V. do you know…?a2. d3. c4. b5. d6. cthere are three ways to get mushrooms, you can buy them, you can hunt them in the wild or you can grow them. Most Americans buy their mushrooms. They eat them many ways. They eat them uncooked in the salad, they cook them with onions and garlic slowly in butter or oil, or they make a hot soup out of them. People even make mushroom bread.Mushrooms are fungi. They lack the chlorophyll that makes plants green. They grow mainly on dead organic matter such as fallen trees. They are low in calories but high in vitamin B, potassium and niacin. There are hundreds of different kinds of mushrooms. They grow throughout the world. Some of them are very colorful. Most of them are safe to eat. Serious mushroom hunters call the fungi by their scientific names. Many people like to eat mushrooms but have no interest in their names. These people call mushrooms by their popular names such as “slippery Jack” or “chicken fat”.Some mushrooms are poisonous, that is why most Americans buy mushrooms in stores to be sure they are safe to eat. People can get very sick from eating poisonous mushrooms. Some years ago, in Russia, 300 people were rushed to a hospital. They had eaten poisonous mushrooms they had collected. Twenty of them died. That incident, however, was a rare one. Most Russian people know about mushrooms. They are very happy when mushroom hunting time arrives in the late summer and autumn. In August 1990, there was a failed attempt to oust then Russian President Mikhail Gorbachev. However, many people who live in Moscow did not know of the events taking place. They were in the country at the time, searching for mushrooms. During the wild mushroom season in Japan, satellites are used to find Shitokin mushrooms. In France, farmers sometimes use pigs to findmushrooms hidden under the ground. The mushroom reportedly smells like a pig in mating season. Next week, we will tell how to grow your mushrooms. Then , you can eat them throughout the year without the aid of satellites。

It doesn’t matter whether your company is a large one or a small one. What does matter is having a business plan to make the idea a reality. A plan is essential for any business. It is like a map for your business as to where you’re going to go. And a business plan is the very best way to get started because when you do a business plan you go from “A” to “Z” in figuring out every aspect: how much money you need; how many people you’ll need; whether you’ll need people. It gives you a way of prediction where the business may go so you can position yourself to respond intelligently and use the least amount of money. So a business plan is even more critical for those budding entrepreneurs that don’t have much money, for it can help to use the limited resources in the very best way.Part 5 Do you know … ?80 100oldest largest fastest growing 1919 school hours organized operated forming Localdeveloped shares materials producedprofits owned business operate1974 classrooms programs 5 18 2 700 000 85 0005 11 Volunteer main rules organized made sold economymoney industry trade families communities12 14 business expert Project economic theories supply demand corporations world trade12 14 Economics leaving completingcontinuing game jobs education money get earn need want high school。
