Question

阅读短文，按要求完成短文后的各项任务。

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 (不易腐烂的) 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 (手电筒) 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.
