閱讀理解

Some people dont like storms， but I think they are very exciting.

There are often storms at the end of a hot summer day. The clouds are small and white at first. However， they get bigger and bigger until they make one large， black cloud. The sky gets dark and it starts to rain hard. And then the streets are like swimming pools. There is a flash of bright light in the sky and then， after a few seconds， you can hear the loud “bang” of thunder.

Light travels very fast， so we always see the lightning （閃電） before we hear the thunder. If the clouds are one kilometre away， you can count to three， between the lightning and the thunder.

Lightning is very beautiful but it can also be dangerous. Lightning is electricity （電流） “jumping” to the ground from a cloud. It usually hits tall things， so if you are outside when there is thunder and lightning， dont stand under a tree.

A. Beautiful. B. Exciting.

C. Dangerous. D. Interesting.

（ ） 2. Why are the streets like swimming pools？

Last year， Bob visited Vancouver， Canada alone. He went there to give a talk on the environment. When it was over， he traveled to the Rocky Mountains and stayed in the Maple Leaf Hotel. He then took a short walk to look at the local （當地的） plants in the forest. After a few hours， he knew he took the wrong way， but was sure he could get back to the hotel.

However， after walking for several hours the next day， Bob knew he was in trouble. “I had my mobile phone， but the battery （電池） was almost dead. I could probably make just one call. But I didnt know the number of my hotel and I didnt want to worry my family unless I really had to，” said Bob. He went on walking for three more days.

On the fourth day， he knew it was hopeless and decided to call his family. “He was quite calm when he spoke to me on the phone，” said Shirley， Bobs wife （妻子）. “He seemed to be in control of the situation.” Shirley called the Maple Leaf Hotel at once. “That week lots of visitors went to the city to watch basketball games， and we thought Mr Rigsby went there too，” said the hotel owner.
