B On the day the tornado hit, there was no indication that severe weather was on its way— the sky was blue and the sun had been out. The first alert my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 ., from some scrolling text on the TV Jimmy was watching. He ran upstairs to find me in our thirdfloor bedroom, and we changed the channel from the presidential primary debate I had been watching to our local Pensacola, Florida, station. No sooner had we found coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us. It was the loudest thing I have ever heard. The bones of the house shook, and the power went out. The wind began to roar through the house, most likely through blownout windows and the door to our garage. We had three flights of steps to navigate to get to the relative safety of the first floor, because the cupboard down there is underneath a brick staircase. I didn’t know how or if we would make it down the steps. It felt as if there were no floor underneath me as the wind lifted me off my feet. I tried to move forward, but this intense pressure held me in place. As we reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Pieces of glass that looked like crushed ice flew everywhere. Suddenly, a threefootlong tree branch crashed into the door frame. It flew over our heads, missing us by inches. Had we been one step up, it would have hit us. By the time I reached the cupboard, the tornado had been over us for about a minute. Jimmy pushed me down to the cupboard floor, but he couldn’t get inside himself because of the wind. I held Jimmy’s arm and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees were full of glass, but at that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay. All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn’t believe it was over. Jimmy said he’d go outside to check. “No,” I said. “Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me.” Our neighbor says the storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were pletely destroyed. Of the houses left standing, ours suffered the most damage. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured. 25. What does the underlined word coverage mean?

A threefootlong tree branch hit the couple. C. Both of the couple couldn’t get into the cupboard floor. D. Jimmy didn’t fly right out the back of the house. 27. Why didn’t the wife feel pain? A. Because she didn’t get any hurt when the storm hit. B. Because she was too scared to feel pain. C. Because she devoted all her strength to holding on to her husband. D. Because she had reached the cupboard and she was safe. 28. The author wrote the passage to _______. A. share with us her experience of surviving a tornado B. warn us of the danger caused by tornados C. show us how to fight against a tornado D. tell us how to protect us from dangerous tornados C A culture’s values can be mi
