6、 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为余选项。
Unlike hurricanes or floods, earthquakes happen without warning and are usually followed by similar aftershocks, although the aftershocks are usually less powerful than the quake. If you find yourself in the middle of an earthquake, there's often only a short time to decide what to do.
● Drop to the ground. The drop, cover, and hold on technique is the cousin of the famous "stop, drop and roll" for fires. While it's not the only method of protecting yourself indoors during an earthquake, it is the preferred method of the Red Cross. Big earthquakes occur without much, if any, warning. A small earthquake could turn into a big earthquake in a split-second; it's better to be safe than sorry.
● Take cover. Get under a firm table or other piece of furniture. If there isn't a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch (蜷缩) in an inside corner of the building.
● Hold on. Hold on to whatever surface or platform you've gotten under and wait for the shaking to stop. If you were unable to find a surface to hide under, continue to keep your head protected by your arms and tucked (躲藏,隐藏) down low.
● Researchers have shown that most injuries happen when people try to change the place of hiding or when the place is crowded and everyone has a goal to get outside safe.
A. Stay inside until it's safe to get out.
B. In that case, move to the nearest safe place.
C. Stairs are dangerous places to walk during an earthquake.
D. So it's recommended that you drop to the floor as soon as it hits.
E. If possible, stay away from windows and anything that could fall.
F. The ground maybe shaking and pieces of wood or brick could be falling.
G. Studying the following advice could be the difference between life and death.

Sugar-free cookies, reduced-sugar cereal, sugar-free candy, diet soda... are these better for you? Since sugar became a taboo (禁忌) in the nutrition and wellness world, sugar-free food items and drinks have acted as substitutes for once beloved sweet drinks and snacks. Claiming to be ZERO sugar means it is healthier,better for diabetics,and helps you slim down... Right?
Wrong. Sugar-free isn't better for you. In fact, sugar-free is worse.
Sugar-free means that artificial sweeteners (甜味剂) are used instead of real sugar. The problem:these sweeteners do not come from natural sources and they can cause you more harm than good.
Let's get into what these artificial sweeteners actually are. Sugar-free sugar sounds wrong and that's because there is no such thing as sugar-free sugar. Some of these sugar-free alternatives still contain sugar and the ones that don't contain sugar have chemicals your body often does not know how to process.
Most artificial sweeteners are a lot sweeter than sugar,so only a tiny amount is needed. That's why they can market sugar-free alternatives as "low-calorie" or "no-calorie". It also means that you get no nutritional value from consuming them, which is why many sugar-free substitutes are classified as "non-nutritive". These artificial sweeteners tend to hide under sneaky names. Actually, they are 200-600 times sweeter than sugar.
When you eat sweet stuff, your body continues to desire it and, even though your body cannot metabolize (代谢) these sugar-free alternatives, your brain does not know the difference. In turn, sugar-free alternatives connect to weight gain and type 2 diabetes (糖尿病).
Artificial sweeteners also damage your gut's ability to break down sugar,which impacts everything you eat. In other words, your body doesn't know how to handle artificial sweeteners because they have nothing real to process.
A good rule of thumb: stay away from artificial sweeteners and look for non-sugar, natural sweeteners like Stevia or date sugar. In the war against artificial sweeteners and real sugar, both lose. Satisfy your sweet tooth with natural sugars that come from fruits and stay away from products claiming to be sugar-free or diet!

B、Stay away from sugary products. C、Sugar-free products are healthier. D、Choose sugar from natural sources. -

A man recently connected with me on LinkedIn and sent me this note: "Let me know if you ever need a writer. "I guess he's a writer? I don't know. But I do know this phrase "Let me know if you ever need a…" shows up a lot, in my inbox and surely yours, too. I've come to think of it as the eight most deadly words in selling oneself because that phrase is the death of opportunity.
Let's consider the approach. These people are being standoffish. Rather than selling themselves, they're shifting the burden onto someone else to make the sale. If I need a writer, I should reach out to them. If I need a story, I should ask them for an interview. If I need a customer service solution, I should ask them for details. "Let me know if you ever need a…" sounds like an invitation, but it's really a shrug.
Imagine the situation where I'd assign a story to the writer who used the nine words, "Let me know if you ever need a writer. "Just anyone who can string words together. I would have needed to be in a panic, so desperate for someone to contribute to our magazine that I'd stopped thinking about great writers or good writers, or even serviceable writers and simply settled for: a writer. This isn't a situation that exists. The world is full of good options! We are not living in times of shortage. If we need a job done, there are plenty of qualified people to do it. Our question is: Who's the best?
If you want to create opportunity for yourself, answer that question convincingly. The first thing to do is show someone you are the opportunity. Hiring you can help them. We also need to stop hiding behind ourselves. Get out in front! Sell yourself and your amazing abilities. Understand someone's problem, and explain exactly why you are the solution. Avoid saying "Let me know if you ever need a…". Instead, start with: "Let me explain how I can help you."
(1)、What do we know from the author's experience?A、We'd better start our own careers as early as possible. B、The author prefers to hire his employees on LinkedIn. C、The phrase "Let me know if you ever need a…" is useful. D、Many people use the wrong opening sentence to sell themselves.(2)、What does the underlined word "standoffish" mean in Paragraph 2?A、Frank and open. B、Unfriendly and proud. C、Unsure and sensitive. D、Concerned and confident.(3)、What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A、The author is in desperate need of a writer's help. B、There are very few great writers available nowadays. C、Anyone who can string words together is a good writer. D、The author isn't interested in the writer using the nine words.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、Ways of selling oneself. B、Tips for job interviews. C、Preparations for landing a job. D、Requirements for common jobs. -
