The great flood
Last week in Geography class, we learnt that if all the ice in the North and South Poles melted, sea level around the world would rise, and many cities would be flooded and disappear.
It started to worry me. What would happen if our city was badly flooded Would anyone remain alive
Last night, I dreamt about a great flood:
It was nine o’clock in the morning. My bedroom floor was a pool of water. I looked out of the window. Water was everywhere. It covered roads, parks and small houses. Large objects, such as coaches and boats, passed by my window. They were floating in the water.
I could not just stand there! I had to do something!
I tried to call my dad, but the line was dead. My computer was still working, so I sent him an email. I wrote, “Dad, there’s a flood! What should we do ”He sent me an email back which said, “Kevin, my boss has given me some work. It’s important to stick with it. I can’t afford to sit around and worry about the flood.”
Then I emailed my best friend. “What should we do about the flood ” I asked. My friend replied, “I have no time to think about the flood. I’m playing computer games …”
I shouted, “The WATER! Look at the WATER!” But my cries fell on deaf ears. In offices and homes, people just sat and stared at their computer screens. It seemed that they did not want to puters were more important than the flood.
Very soon, the water came into people’s rooms. It poured onto their desks and covered their computers. In surprise, people finally started to notice the flood, but it was too late.
Then I awoke. There was no water. I was safe—for now.

Language Points
What other natural disasters can you think of
你还能想到其他什么自然灾害？
解析：think of意为“想到；想起；想过”。例如：
当处于危险时，你会想到别人吗？
When you are in danger, will you think of others
【拓展】think搭配其他介词有不同的意思，如：
think about 考虑；思考 think over 仔细考虑
例如：
这个活动是刺激的，但你要考虑它的安全性。
This activity is exciting, but you should think about its safety.
这个问题有点难，我们必须要仔细考虑。
This problem is a little difficult. We must think it over.
I looked out of the window. Water was everywhere. 我望向窗外，到处是水。
解析：everywhere 是表示地点的副词，意为“到处；四处；遍地”，everywhere = here and there 例如：
春季的时候，街上到处都是花。
In spring, there are flowers everywhere in the streets.
= In spring, there are flowers here and there in the
streets.
I tried to call my dad, but the line was dead.
我试图打电话给我爸爸，但电话线路不通。
解析：形容词 dead 在此句表示“（电话等电器设备）不再运转；没电的”等含义，常与动词 be 和 go 连用构成短语 be / go dead。例如：
这电池没电了吗？
Is the battery dead
在暴风雨中电话都断了。
The phone went dead during the storm.
【拓展】dead 的另一含义为“死的”，表示状态；
其动词形式为 die，名词形式为 death。例如：
他奶奶已去世两年。
His grandma has been dead for two years.
= His grandma died two years ago.
你知道那个明星的死讯吗？
Have you known the death of the famous star
He sent me an email back which said ...
他给我回了一封邮件，说……
解析：which said ... 是定语从句，修饰前面的先行词email。which 是关系代词，指代物，在此从句中作主语。
关系代词还有：who（指代人）和 that（指代人或物) 关系代词在定语从句中可作主语或宾语。
例如：
你看见了刚才拿着一些书的那个人吗？
Did you see the man who / that carried some books just now
这是我想买的那辆自行车。
This is the bike which / that I want to buy.
In surprise, people finally started to notice the
flood ... 最后，人们惊讶地开始注意到洪水……
解析：in surprise 意为“惊奇地；惊讶地”，相当于副词 surprisingly，可置于句首或句末，surprise 在短语里是名词。例如：
惊奇的是，他在会议上讲话了。
In surprise, he spoke at the meeting.
我惊奇地发现他在人群当中。
I found him in the crowd of people in surprise.
Answer the questions
