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.

Read the first paragraph of the text. What do you think happened to Tilly Smith and her family next Then read the rest of the text to check your answer.
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.
立即行动
rush to do sth 匆忙/赶紧去做某事
as...as sb. can 尽某人所能地…
“make it”是英语常用习语，意为“成功做到（尤指困难的事）”，比“get to” “reach”更能体现“逃生过程的艰难与最终成功”；“to”是介词，后接目的地。
between... and... 在……和……之间一般指在两者之间
归功于；由于；因为
Language points
Thanks to her knowledge and quick thinking,
one schoolgirl was able to save over 100 lives.

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!

Last Friday, I had a really bad day. While I was having breakfast with my younger sister, the sky was growing darker and darker. I heard thunder and saw lightning. When I left the house, the heavy rain suddenly poured down.
I waited 20 minutes for the bus, but the storm caused heavy traffic, so it never came. I decided to walk to school. My umbrella broke in the wind, and soon I was wet and freezing.
While I was crossing the park, I stepped into a deep puddle (小水坑)and my shoes filled with water! By the time I reached school, I heard the bell ringing. I was late! But when I entered my classroom, something surprising happened. My teacher smiled and said, “Don’t worry! The power went out because of the storm — no classes today!” Sometimes bad days bring surprises.
As a result, I went home. When I got home, my mother was preparing a cup of hot milk for me. I told her about my bad day, and she laughed and said, “Tomorrow will be better!”

Thursday, 24 July, 2025 Rainstorm
There was a flood in the morning after two days of heavy rain. Mum woke me up around 6: 30 a. m. I saw the floor was covered with water and Dad was packing up things. We got out of the house as fast as possible.
It was still raining so heavily that we had to take a boat to reach the main road. All of a sudden, a strong wind came and the boat started to shake. Mum lost her handbag and I nearly fell into the water. After we got to the main road, we walked to my uncle’s home and stayed there that night. The next morning，the storm passed. We saw a mess as soon as we entered our home. But looking at each other, we realized although the house was in a mess, at least we were safe.

wildfire
snowstorm
During the hot and dry summer last year, my family experienced the first natural disaster of our lives. We were hiking in the mountains when lightning flashed across the sky. The sky got darker and darker. And then we realized that we weren’t looking at clouds. It was smoke! There was a wildfire!
Last winter, my family had a terrifying experience. It started one
evening while we were enjoying a quiet night at home. My parents were watching TV while my brother was doing his homework.
I, on the other hand, was glued to my bedroom window. Thick snow
was falling and the world outside was growing whiter and whiter.

Storm Chasing: A Dangerous but Important Job

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.

Storm Chasing: A Dangerous but Important Job
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.

Storm Chasing: A Dangerous but Important Job
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.

Discuss the questions.
1. What do you think of Tim Samaras’s job as a storm chaser
2. What do you need to be a good storm chaser
3. Do you know of any other dangerous jobs Why do people do them
I think his job is exciting, but also very dangerous.
To be a good storm chaser I need to have a lot of knowledge about weather science, know how to use special equipment, and always be prepared for danger.
Yes, like firefighters or deep-sea fishermen. These jobs are dangerous because they involve risks like fires, high waves, or bad weather. People do them because they want to protect others or because they want to support their families.
