know the rules as well as the culture of the people. A travel mate will

control and help people learn to deal with adult situations. But Monaco, who plans to attend Harvard, isn’t fazed by her lack(缺乏）of work experience. “Maybe I have
missed out on a couple of life skills, ”she said. “ But I don’t think it will harm
me in way.

A. uncaring. B. favorable(支持的）. C. worried. D. doubtful.
31. What does the underlined word “fazed” in the last paragraph mean?
A. supported. B. helped. C. upset. D. confused.

How to Survive in an EarthquakeEarthquakes have happened in many places recently, causing significant damage.
So how to keep safe during an earthquake has become an important issue. Here are some
guidelines.
Above all, don’t be nervous and try to keep calm. If you are outdoors, it’s
necessary to get into an open area away from trees，buildings, walls, power lines
and anything else that might fall on you. If you are indoors, quickly move to a safe
place such as under a strong desk. Cover your head and neck with your arms to protect
yourself from falling objects. Finally, never use the lift.
Actually we can reduce the damage that earthquakes bring us if we take right
measures.

which is Room 116 on the first floor.
