阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
I think my
hometown Belarus is a lucky place because it doesn't experience dangerous natural
disasters such as volcano eruptions, earthquakes, or hurricanes.
However, sometimes
spring floods happen in low areas of my town. It can be strong enough to damage
crop fields, roads, and plants. Moreover, it is dangerous for the livestock which
might die in the water. As you can see, a flood is rather harmful for the countryside.
In the summer
time, hail and heavy rainstorms visit Belarus, but they never cause serious damage
to buildings or people's deaths. Even though some trees or other plants might be
uprooted or destroyed, people actually don't pay a lot of attention to these disasters
because they don't occur very often.
In winter,
we sometimes experience snowstorms with heavy snow and strong winds. Several years
ago, for instance, people couldn't arrive at their jobs because a lot of snow was
on the streets. Schools were closed on that day, but children weren't anxious about
it. They really enjoyed the snow mountains outdoors.
As for me,
I was unhappy about that day. My apartment building is located on a hill. It isn't
big, so I had never had any problems with driving a car near my home. However, it
took me almost two hours to arrive home from the foot of the hill because there
was so much snow on the road that my car couldn't move. I had to ask people in the
street to help me to push the car out of the snow. Later, when everything was over,
my friends and I were laughing when we imagined how funny I was while pushing a
heavy car.
As you may
notice, natural disasters in my country depend on the seasons of the year. Although
we experience several kinds of natural weather conditions, they are not very dangerous.
And people often try to have fun during or after them.
