14-15学年新课标高一上学期期中测试Ⅰ B What if you had only three minutes to grab whatever you could take from your home and the rest would be lost forever? What would you take? As the disasters in Japan changed from the earthquakes and tsunamis (海啸) to nuclear radiation (核辐射), many people that have been forced to leave their homes are facing the fact that they may not be able to return for a long time. With this in mind, let’s discuss the value of a Bug Out Bag. This bag is a collection of goods that you would need to survive (生存) if you have to escape from your home with no shelter, food or water during the unexpected situations. A good B.O.B. should include things that are needed for life: ● A sleeping bag, or at least a blanket. ● Drinking water. ● High-calorie, no-cook foods like protein bars, peanut butter, etc. ● First-aid supplies. ● Fire-starting methods, and a small pot to boil water or cook. ● A few basic tools like a knife, some rope, etc. ● Flashlight with extra batteries. ● Cash. ● A digital backup (备份) of all your important documents and family treasures. You could keep a B.O.B. by the front door, or even have several bags at home, at the office and in your car. This might seem like more than needed to some of you, but just imagine what a difference this kind of preparation would have made to the people of Japan. Then think of the difference a B.O.B. will make if those disasters happen to you. 4. The author asks the questions in the first paragraph to 　　　.
