How One Girl Saved Many Lives
On 26 December 2004, Tilly Smith, a 10-year-old English schoolgirl, and her family were on holiday in Phuket, Thailand. Everyone was enjoying the beautiful weather that morning. Some people were swimming in the sea, and some were relaxing on the beach. But while Tilly was walking along the beach with her family, she noticed something strange. Thick white froth was forming on top of the waves. Next, she saw that the waves were coming in instead of going out.
Just then, she remembered something important. Two weeks before, her geography teacher had explained that earthquakes under the sea could create dangerous waves called tsunamis!
“I know what’s going to happen! There’s going to be a big wave,” Tilly cried. Unfortunately, her family didn’t believe her and wanted to continue their walk. However, Tilly refused to take a single step further. Finally, her mother decided to continue the walk alone, and the rest of her family returned to the hotel.
Back at the hotel, Tilly’s father told a security guard about the tsunami. The security guard was shocked. He knew about the huge earthquake in nearby Indonesia. It meant that a tsunami was possible! He jumped into action right away and rushed to get people off the beach. Everyone began to panic. People were screaming and running as fast as they could when they saw a huge wall of water coming from the sea.
Tilly was right! Her mother was one of the last people on the beach, but thankfully, her family made it to safety just as the water hit the hotel. The 2004 tsunami caused over 200,000 deaths, but no one on the beach died that day.
This true story shows how a single lesson could mean the difference between life and death. Thanks to her knowledge and quick thinking, one schoolgirl was able to save over 100 lives.
2C根据上下文和单词列表，完成段落如下：
In August 2022, China experienced a great heatwave, the worst since 1961.
It caused drought in different parts of the country. The heatwave hit the southwestern city of Chongqing very hard. Large wildfires swept through the forests and mountains there. Over 5,000 firefighters, police, and volunteers all worked together to keep the people and their homes safe. They put out the fires, brought more than 1,500 people to safe and warned others to stay away from dangerous areas. It was very hard to fight the fires because of the high temperatures and changeable winds, but the rescue workers refused to give up. By the end of August, they managed to put out all the fires.
一个女孩如何拯救了许多生命
2004年12月26日，10岁的英国女学生蒂莉·史密斯和她的家人正在泰国普吉岛度假。那天早上，每个人都在享受美好的天气。有些人在海里游泳，有些人在沙滩上放松。但是，当蒂莉和家人一起沿着海滩散步时，她注意到了一些奇怪的事情。厚厚的白色泡沫正在海浪顶部形成。接着，她看到海浪正在涌进来而不是退出去。
就在这时，她想起了一件重要的事情。两周前，她的地理老师解释过，海底的地震会产生名为海啸的危险波浪！
“我知道将要发生什么了！会有一个大浪到来，”蒂莉喊道。不幸的是，她的家人不相信她，想要继续散步。然而，蒂莉拒绝再往前走一步。最后，她的母亲决定独自继续散步，而她家里的其他人则返回了酒店。
回到酒店后，蒂莉的父親把海啸的事情告诉了一名保安。保安感到很震惊。他知道邻近的印度尼西亚发生了大地震。这意味着海啸是可能发生的！他立刻行动起来，急忙让人们离开海滩。所有人都开始恐慌。当人们看到一堵巨大的水墙从海里涌来时，他们尖叫着并尽可能快地奔跑。
蒂莉是对的！她的母亲是海滩上最后离开的人之一，但幸运的是，就在海浪击中酒店时，她的家人安全脱险了。2004年的海啸造成了超过20万人死亡，但那天海滩上没有人死亡。
这个真实的故事表明，一堂课可能意味着生与死的差别。多亏了她的知识和快速反应，一个女学生得以拯救了超过100条生命。

Read about Ma Li’s day. List the events of the day in the order they happened.
Last Friday started terribly. First, my alarm clock didn’t go off, so I woke up late and had to rush to the bus stop.
I had a test that morning, so I was reviewing my notes while I was waiting for my bus. All of a sudden, thunder rolled across the sky. Then it started to pour. The wind was too strong for me to use my umbrella!
By the time the bus came, I was cold and wet. I was still worrying about the test when the bus driver said that we would be late. There was a landslide along our usual road.
When I finally reached my classroom, out of breath, my teacher was already waiting at the door. Many others were also late because of the rainstorm. As a result, she said we weren’t having a test after all! What luck on my unlucky day!

Storm Chasing: A Dangerous but Important Job
Are you afraid of big storms? Many people are. But did you know some people go out to chase tornadoes? Such storms can hit suddenly and move very quickly, so storm chasers always have to be prepared.
When a tornado is about to hit, professional storm chasers try and get close to it to collect important information. Storm chaser Tim Samaras designed and built many different instruments for studying tornadoes. Throughout his career, the engineer chased down more than 120 tornadoes. Often, he filmed the storms while they were happening just a few kilometres away.
During a storm, storm chasers put special equipment in the way of the tornado. The equipment collects information about things such as wind speed and air pressure. This helps scientists to make better forecasts. It can even help people understand how powerful the winds can be, and as a result, change how we build our houses.
Storm chasing can be exciting, but also very dangerous. The storm chasers’ knowledge and experience are not always enough to keep them safe. On 31 May 2013, Samaras and his team were chasing the El Reno tornado in Oklahoma, USA. To their surprise, the tornado behaved in an unexpected way. It grew rapidly and changed its speed and direction.
On that terrible day, the largest tornado ever recorded appeared. It was 4.2 kilometres wide and had winds topping 480 kilometres per hour. While the tornado was moving towards them, Samaras and his team were driving as fast as they could. Sadly, when the tornado hit their car, it threw their car into the air like a toy. All three men in the car died.
The story of Tim Samaras is very sad, but his work continues to play an important role in weather science. Though storm chasing remains a dangerous job, the goal of storm chasers is to learn more about storms to keep people safe. For people like Samaras, that goal makes it all worth it.
风暴追踪：一份危险但重要的工作
你害怕强烈的风暴吗？许多人都害怕。但你知道有些人会主动去追踪龙卷风吗？这种风暴可能突然来袭且移动非常迅速，因此风暴追踪者必须时刻做好准备。
当龙卷风即将来袭时，专业的风暴追踪者会试图接近它，以收集重要信息。风暴追踪者蒂姆·萨马拉斯设计并制造了许多用于研究龙卷风的不同仪器。在他的职业生涯中，这位工程师追踪了超过120次龙卷风。通常，他会在风暴发生在仅几公里外时进行拍摄。
在风暴期间，风暴追踪者会将特殊设备放置在龙卷风的路径上。这些设备会收集诸如风速和气压等信息。这有助于科学家做出更准确的预报。它甚至能帮助人们了解风的力量有多大，从而改变我们建造房屋的方式。
风暴追踪可能令人兴奋，但也非常危险。风暴追踪者的知识和经验并不总能保证他们的安全。2013年5月31日，萨马拉斯和他的团队正在追踪美国俄克拉荷马州的埃尔雷诺龙卷风。令他们惊讶的是，这场龙卷风的行为出人意料。它迅速增强，并改变了速度和方向。
在那个可怕的日子，有记录以来最大的龙卷风出现了。它宽4.2公里，风速高达每小时480公里。当龙卷风朝他们移动时，萨马拉斯和他的团队正以最快速度驾车逃离。不幸的是，当龙卷风击中他们的汽车时，像抛玩具一样将他们的车抛向空中。车上的三人全部遇难。
蒂姆·萨马拉斯的故事非常令人悲痛，但他的工作继续在气象科学中发挥着重要作用。尽管风暴追踪仍然是一份危险的工作，但风暴追踪者的目标是更多地了解风暴，从而保护人们的安全。对于像萨马拉斯这样的人来说，这个目标让一切付出都变得值得。
