第二节：阅读下面内容，从各小题所给的四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。(共10小题，计15分)
(B)
People often say that the doorway (门口) is the safest place in a house during an earthquake (地震). Is that true?
According to the scientists, the doorway isn’t stronger than the rest of the house. And if you’re in a public place, it will not protect (保护) you, but get you in danger.
So what is the safest place in a house? If you’re inside, you’d better stay under a desk or table. Standing against the wall is safer than standing in the doorway. Kneeling (屈膝) or lying on the ground is also safer than standing. It is important for you to stay away from glass, because things made of glass are easy to fall and break during an earthquake. So you’d better find something like a pillow (枕头) to cover your head and face.
And if you’re outdoors, keep away from buildings. They all may fall.
( )26. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?
A. The doorway. B. The public place.
C. The living room. D. The house.
( )27. Which of the following is the most dangerous during an earthquake?

A. B. C. D.
( )28. What is the passage mainly talking about?
A. How should people help themselves during an earthquake?
B. Where is the safest place during an earthquake?
C. What should people do after an earthquake?
D. How should people save themselves after an earthquake?

Sitting at a desk in a classroom all day can be pretty boring. The teachers at a primary school in the US noticed that, so they changed their students’ desks for exercise bikes as part of the Read and Ride program!
This program began six years ago. A special classroom has enough bikes for every student in any class. Teachers bring in their students to read the books while riding the bikes. There’s also one exercise bike in the back of each classroom for students to exercise.
Their teacher Mr. Ertl said many children found it boring when they read books. This program makes reading fun. They feel happy when they read books while riding the exercise bikes. As a result, the school found that students that spent more time reading and riding did better than others in reading tests.
This program not only helps students do better in study, but also helps them keep healthy. Mr. Ertl said many students were fat and it was difficult for them to take exercise. On the bikes, they try their best to exercise at their own level (水平).
