新素材素材话题:闪电是自然的“灯光秀”
[2026 四川眉山调研]Lightning is one of nature's light shows. It often happens in hot, wet places. Around the world, there are about 2,000 lightning storms happening at any given moment. It is a large electric flash of light, which is very hot. 14 This moving air makes a loud sound called thunder. Because light travels at greater speed than sound, we see the lightning before we hear the thunder.
Lightning is fun to watch but dangerous. 15 When the lightning hits land, it can cause a fire. Many wildfires start because of summer lightning. Because the land, trees and grasses are dry, they burn easily. On the other hand, it also brings danger to human beings. During storms with lightning, the electric shocks (电击) could destroy buildings or kill people outside. Some people using something electric or wet may get hurt in their homes.
16 It is necessary to keep the following dos and don'ts in mind. Stay inside during storms with lightning. Stay away from windows. Do not take a shower when there is lightning. Do not wash your hands. Remind your parents not to use the washer. Lightning can go through water. 17 Stay indoors for a while to be sure the storm is over. Do not use anything that is electric. Lightning can go through wires (电线). Remind your parents to turn off TVs and computers.
18 Learn about it. Learn how to stay safe. Then you can enjoy nature's light shows.
A. Lightning is an exciting part of nature.
B. On the one hand, it causes harm to earth.
C. As soon as the rain stops, you can go outside.
D. It heats the air around it and the hot air moves at high speed.
