语篇研读
五、阅读短文，完成下列任务。
Nowadays, we have all kinds of
technologies that can help protect us from
disasters. With them, we can know where
and when some disasters, like the typhoon,
will hit. While most of the new technologies
are far away from us, some common
technologies around us can help people in
disasters.
The drone is one of them. It
can be used to send food, water and other
important things when a natural disaster
happens. Very often some buildings are too
dangerous for rescue teams to get
in, but they can make the drones fly into
the buildings to search for those who are
still alive.
Social media is also a useful tool in
natural disasters. With its help, people can
know about natural disasters at any time.
Social media is also a platform for
the latest news, so people can learn what is
going on in disaster areas. Besides, many
social media platforms allow people to raise
money to help people in disaster areas. The
money will help them return to their
normal lives as soon as possible.
Although these technologies can help
when there is a natural disaster, we still
need to prepare necessary tools and learn
important skills to protect ourselves.
