     Most people do not like to think about disasters (灾难) , so they do not prepare for them. This is a deadly

mistake. Whether you can be alive or not is decided by preparation. Here are some tips that could save your

life.

     1. Getting through the first hour 

      ● Choose an out-of-town person that each family member can call after the disaster if you become alone.

Besides, choose two nearby places where family members know to meet. One shouid be close to your home.

The other should be outside your neigh- bourhood. Keep your important papers at the bank or another safe

place. 

     ● Leave a disaster-supply kit (一套装备) ( see Part 5) near the front door. Make sure you keep it filled with

fresh food and water. 

     ● If you are advised to move to the safe place, leave the area right away.

     2. The disaster-ready home

     You may have some time to prepare before certain types of disasters. Take hurricanes (飓风) as an example. 

     ● Bring in anything that could fly around or blow away. 

     ● Prepare your car for leaving. ·Fill bottles with drinking water.

     ● Keep your radio on for weather information.

     3. The safest places 

     ● Hurricane: stay in an inside space with no windows. Class could break and hurt you. 

     ● Earthquake(地震) : get under the nearest heavy desk or table. This will protect you from falling things. 

     4. Preparing for the worst -do this now! 

     ● Hurricane:during the hurricane season, keep a two-week supply of drugs. Have wood and nails (钉子)

ready to cover windows. 

     ● Earthquake: move beds away from windows, heavy pictures or mirrors. Place large and / or heavy

objects on lower shelves. Learn how to shut off the electricity and water.

     5. Your disaster-supply kit 

    ● First-aid (急救用的) kit and drugs; spare clothes; a radio; car keys; important phone numbers.

It was two years ago today that the hunting ban came into force, supposedly ending centuries of tradition. However, the law has been an unmitigated failure—not that either side is shouting about it.

It was a nightmare vision that struck fear and loathing into the hearts of millions. When the hunting ban became law, it was said, 16,000 people would lose their jobs, thousands of hounds would be put down, rotting carcasses would litter the countryside, hedgerows would disappear, riders would face on-the-spot fines, law-abiding people from doctors to barristers would be dragged from their horses and carted off to prison, while dog owners would be prosecuted if their mutt caught a rabbit.

These were just some of the claims as desperate countryside campaigners battled to save their sport in the lead—up to the hunting ban, which Labour rammed into law using the Parliament Act on November 18, 2004.

For many, the fears were real. Others exaggerated as they fought an increasingly aggressive anti-hunting lobby which had rejected acres of independent evidence affirming that hunting is the most humane way of killing foxes. In the battle to "fight prejudice, fight the ban", every emotive argument was deployed.

For its part, the anti-hunting brigade extravagantly claimed that the ban would put an end to the rich parading in red jackets. A senior Labour MP, Peter Bradley, admitted in this newspaper that it was, as many suspected, about "class war" . He lost his seat shortly afterwards. But people in red coats did not disappear.

In fact, none of the forecasts came true. What did happen was something nobody had predicted, the spectacular revival and growth of hunting with hounds. In short, the hunting ban has been a failure.

Today, on the second anniversary of the ban’s coming into force on February 18, 2005, new figures show that participation in the sport has never been higher. It is so cheerful that two new packs have been formed, something that has not happened for centuries.

They include the seductively named Private Pack, set up by the financier Roddy Fleming in Gloucestershire. It operates on an invitation-only basis, a sort of hunting private members’club. This can only mean one thing: like it or not, hunting is cool. Young people are taking it up, enticed by the element of rebellion and the mystique of what actually happens as hunts attempt to keep within the law.

Those who break the hunting ban would().

A. lose their jobs

B. bring shame to their fellow people

C. have to kill their horses and dogs

D. face either fines or imprisonment
