Welcome to the unit---Emergency or natural disaster
A Sandy is reading a newspaper. Decide which headlines are about emergencies (E) and which are about natural disasters (ND).
TIP: In newspaper headlines, the simple present tense is often used, and words like a, an, the and the verb be are often left out.
An emergency is a sudden, serious and dangerous event or situation. People need to act quickly to deal with it.
A natural disaster is a sudden and powerful event in nature, such as an earthquake or a flood.

B Sandy and Millie are talking about emergencies and natural disasters. Work in pairs and talk about an emergency or a natural disaster you have heard about or experienced. Use the conversation below as a model.
TIP: We use "Oh, really " to express surprise, but pay attention to the tone, as the way we say it can give different meanings.
Sandy: Did you hear about the fog disaster in Star Town last week
Millie: No. What happened
Sandy: The fog was so thick that drivers couldn't see more than a metre in front of them.
Millie: Oh, really
Sandy: Yes. Many cars hit each other. It was one of the largest traffic accidents in the town's history!

Reading---The Highfield earthquake
There was an earthquake in Highfield in 2021 and Timmy survived. Sandy is reading his story. Before reading, think about the questions below.
1What may happen in an earthquake
2 What do you think people should do in an earthquake
The Highfield earthquake
It was about two o'clock in the afternoon. I was working when the earthquake started. At first, I felt a slight shake. Then I heard a loud noise like thunder.
Soon the real noise came, like bombs under the ground. The earth started to shake. People shouted in fear. Some ran out of the building. I tried my best to run out too.
Outside, people were running in all directions while pieces of glass and bricks were raining down. Then the walls began to come down too!
Finally, the noise and shaking ended. It was dark and silent around me. I couldn't see anything at all, and I didn't know if anyone else was around me. I felt nervous,

阅读---海菲尔德地震
2021年，海菲尔德发生了一场地震，蒂米幸免于难。桑迪正在阅读他的故事。在阅读之前，请思考以下问题：
1. 地震中可能发生什么？
2 你认为人们在地震中应该怎么做？
海菲尔德地震
当时大约是下午两点左右。地震开始时我正在工作。起初，我感觉到轻微的震动。接着，我听到了像雷声一样巨大的声响。
很快，真正的噪音出现了，就像地下的炸弹爆炸一样。大地开始震动。人们惊恐地大喊。有些人跑出了建筑物。我也尽力想要跑出去。
外面，人们向各个方向奔逃，而玻璃碎片和砖块像雨点般落下。接着，墙壁也开始倒塌！
最后，噪音和震动停止了。四周一片黑暗。
周围一片寂静。我什么也看不见，也不知道身边是否还有其他人。我感到紧张。
108
and my heart was beating really fast. “I'm trapped," I said to myself. A moment of fear went through my mind, but I told myself to calm down since I was still alive.
I shouted for help. I thought somebody could hear me, but no one came for a very long time. I knew I had to save energy and wait for help.
Hours later, as I was trying to find my way out, I suddenly heard some noise above me.
“Help! Please help! I'm here!" I cried out in a weak voice. Then I heard shouts from excited people. They quickly moved away the bricks. At last, I was safe!
109
我的心跳得非常快。我自言自语道：“我被困住了。”脑海中掠过片刻的恐惧，但我告诉自己要保持冷静，因为我毕竟还活着。
我大声呼救，以为会有人听到，但很长一段时间内都没有人前来。我知道必须节省体力，等待救援。
几小时后，当我试图找到出路时，我突然听到头顶传来一些声响。
“救命！请帮帮我！我在这里！”我用微弱的声音喊道。接着，我听到了兴奋的人们发出的呼喊声。他们迅速移开了那些砖块。最后，我终于得救了。

C 桑迪正在阅读一篇由森林火灾幸存者撰写的博客文章。请用方框中单词和短语的正确形式完成这篇文章。
冷静下来 恐惧 消防员 紧张
四面八方 陷阱 寂静 雷暴
逃离森林中的火场。
那是一个炎热的夏日。起初，除了自然的声音，我周围一片寂静。我在森林里遛狗时开始闻到烟味。我走得更远一些，看到了一堆火。我感到紧张不安，不知道该怎么办。突然，一声像雷声一样的巨响，一棵燃烧的树在我面前倒下——我被困住了。很快火势越来越大，恐惧在我的脑海中蔓延。我告诉自己要冷静下来。一些动物开始向四面八方逃跑。我看着我的狗哈里，它正在上下跳跃。就在那时，我看到一些人穿过树林跑过来。他们是消防员！最终，他们成功扑灭了火焰。所幸的是，哈利和我都安然无恙。
D 思考一下下面的问题，与同学们分享你的答案。
1“外面，人们四散奔逃，而玻璃碎片和砖块像雨点般落下。”你如何理解“雨点般落下”这个短语？

Grammar---Past continuous tense
Read the conversation below and pay attention to the use of the past continuous tense.
Suzy: There was an accident near our school at 4:10 yesterday afternoon. It happened as we were going home from school.
Amy: I know. I saw it while I was riding my bike home. It was raining when the police arrived.
Suzy: I didn't see it. I hope no one was badly hurt.
Work out the rule!
We use the past continuous tense to talk about things that were happening at a particular time in the past. We form the past continuous tense like this: be(was/were)_+v-ing.
When, while and as can be used as conjunctions of time. They all mean “during the time that ...".
I was working when the earthquake started.
People were running in all directions while pieces of glass and bricks were raining down.
As I was trying to find my way out, I suddenly heard some noise above me.
When a shorter action happened at the same time as a longer action, we use the past continuous tense for the longer action and the simple past tense for the shorter action. When there are two long actions, we often use while.
We were watching in fear while the firemen were putting out the fire.
If the shorter action is in the main clause, we can use when, while or as to join the clauses.
When/While/As Millie was watching TV, lightning hit her building.
If the longer action is in the main clause, we often use when to join the clauses.
Millie was watching TV when lightning hit her building.
112
语法---过去进行时
阅读下面的对话，注意过去进行时的使用。
苏西:昨天下午4点10分，我们学校附近发生了一起事故。它发生在我们放学回家的路上。
艾米:我知道。我骑车回家的时候看到了。当时正在下雨。警察到了。
苏西:我没看到。我希望没有人受重伤。
总结规则！
我们使用过去进行时来谈论在过去的某个特定时间正在发生的事情。我们这样构成过去进行时：be(was/were) + v-ing。
何时、何时和何时可以用作时间的连结。它们都指“在那段时间......”。
地震开始的时候我在工作。
人们四处奔跑，玻璃碎片和砖块如雨般落下。
正当我试图找到出路时，我突然听到头顶有声音。
当一个较短的动作与一个较长的动作同时发生时，我们对较长的动作使用过去时，对较短的行动使用简单过去时。当有两个长动作时，我们经常使用while。
消防队员在灭火时，我们惊恐地看着。
如果较短的动作在主句中，我们可以使用when、while或as来连接两个句子。
当/当/在米莉看电视的时候，闪电击中了她的建筑物。
如果较长的动作在主句中，我们通常使用when来连接两个句子。
米莉正在看电视时，闪电击中了她的建筑物。

Word power---Creating new words
We can put two words together to create new words. They are called compound words. We can make compound nouns in a number of ways.
noun + noun →thunderstorm, teamwork, snowball
noun +verb earthquake, waterfall, sunrise
verb + noun → passport, playground, driveway
adjective + noun → whiteboard, software, gentleman
TIP: Sometimes we need to add a hyphen (-): north + east → north-east part + time → part-time
词汇力量——创造新词

Introduce when and what happened.
I went to the beach with my friends last Saturday.
When we were playing on the beach, suddenly, the sea water started to go away. We heard people shouting. They were telling us to run away from the beach. A big wave was coming towards us. We ran up the hill as fast as possible. When I looked back, the whole beach and all the buildings below us were in water. Many boats were damaged.
Describe what people did after the emergency/disaster and their feelings.
After the tidal wave passed, the police checked to see if everyone was OK and warmed us to stay away from the beach for a few days.

The Highfield earthquake
It was about two o'clock in the afternoon. I was working when the earthquake started. At first, I felt a slight shake. Then I heard a loud noise like thunder.
Soon the real noise came, like bombs under the ground. The earth started to shake. People shouted in fear. Some ran out of the building. I tried my best to run out too.
Outside, people were running in all directions while pieces of glass and bricks were raining down. Then the walls began to come down too!
Finally, the noise and shaking ended. It was dark and silent around me. I couldn't see anything at all, and I didn't know if anyone else was around me. I felt nervous, and my heart was beating really fast. “I'm trapped," I said to myself. A moment of fear went through my mind, but I told myself to calm down since I was still alive.
I shouted for help. I thought somebody could hear me, but no one came for a very long time. I knew I had to save energy and wait for help.
Hours later, as I was trying to find my way out, I suddenly heard some noise above me.

nearby should stay at home," said an officer.
Part B3
Stay safe
Have you ever thought about how to stay safe in natural disasters and emergencies Well, if you are in a flood, you should go outside and get to high ground, away from the water. However, if you are in a typhoon, you should go inside the nearest building. It is dangerous to be outside in the typhoon because you could get hit by something. In an earthquake, if you can't get out quickly, stay under a strong desk or table. And don't stand near a window as you could get hurt.
If you are in a building on fire, you should get out as soon as possible. To protect yourself from the thick smoke, you can cover your mouth and nose with a wet piece of cloth.
If you see a car accident, you should make an emergency call as soon as possible. Check if the people in the cars are OK, and don't move them if they are badly hurt. It is also helpful to place emergency signs around the cars to avoid another accident.

A tidal wave
I went to the beach with my friends last Saturday.
When we were playing on the beach, suddenly, the sea water started to go away. We heard people shouting. They were telling us to run away from the beach. A big wave was coming towards us. We ran up the hill as fast as possible. When I looked back, the whole beach and all the buildings below us were in water. Many boats were damaged.
After the tidal wave passed, the police checked to see if everyone was OK and warned us to stay away from the beach for a few days. They told us that there was an earthquake a few kilometres away under the sea, and it caused the tidal wave. Luckily, no one was hurt or killed. All of us were happy that we were safe.
