Question

閱讀短文，按要求完成短文后的各項任務。

Because earthquakes happen without warning, it’s important to take steps now to prepare. Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens, prepare some supplies for your home, workplace and car.

1. Water

A person needs 1or 2 gallons of water daily just for drinking. (1)So store

1 gallon of water per person every day and be prepared for a 72-hour period. It is suggested that you buy bottled water. Keep bottled water in its original container and (2) do not open it until you need to use it. Also, do check the “use by” date.

2. Food

It’s always a practical idea to keep a supply of non-perishable (不易腐爛的) food on hand. Have an enough supply of canned food, powered milk, dried fruits, non-salted nuts and canned juices for at least 72 hours.

3. Flash light (手電筒) and spare batteries

Keep a flashlight beside your bed, at your place of work, and in your car. Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure there are no gas leaks. Prepare a battery-powered radio and spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information.

4. Clothes

If you live in a cold place, you must think about warmth. You might not have heat after an earthquake. Think about your clothing and bedding supplies.

1.根據句意：一個人每天至少需要喝1或2加侖的水。可知該填寫at least。

2.

3.根據文中Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure there are no gas leaks.可知該作答：When you are sure there are no gas leaks.

4.Most telephones will not be in service and radios will supply information for you. 大多數的電話不服務，收音機將為您提供信息。與文中句子Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information.同義。
