　　The "tornado season" is usually in spring, but the people in Tornado Alley are always ready for them and they always listen to the news. When the warnings come, (2)      . They find somewhere safe to stay. At home, the best place is the basement — a room that is used to store things under the level of the ground. If there is no basement, a room without windows like the bathroom is also a safe place.
　　"(3)       so that we can get ready and won't feel afraid when there's a tornado," says Tiffany Taylor, a high school student from Texas. "There's no basement at my school, so we usually go to the hallways on the lowest floors. Of course, we never sit near the windows."
　　After the tornado, people first check to see if it is safe to go out and then they check the buildings and the area for damage (破坏). (4)      !
　　In China, we are not so often troubled by tornadoes, but we do have disasters like earthquakes, or an unexpected fire. It is important to know how to keep us safe when a disaster happens.

11．　　My name is Xue Mingwen, a middle school student. My brother is two years younger than me. He is now in Grade 6 at a primary school. Both of us like reading famous stories and we often share storybooks. Some stories are famous because people have been telling them for many years. Others, such as fables (寓言), are famous because they have an excellent ending or teach a good lesson — a moral in other words.
　　The other day, my brother shared a very old story from an English storybook. Both of us were attracted (吸引) by the new, useful language in the fable that everyone can tell. Although the story was simple, it was educational. It is our decision that we should share it here. We hope you can learn more words and a new way or two of expressing your ideas in English after you read this fable.
