They should be able to fix it within a few hours, they say. But for now, the power is out.When I was a boy, a power cut was an adventure. We’d light candles and eat ice cream, based on theassumption that without power to run the freezer it was going to melt anyway. My dad always used power cuts as an opportunity to talk about the good old days when he did his homework by fireplace light.These days a power cut is more annoyance than adventure. There isn’t a lot we can’t do thanks to modem technology. No lights? No problem—my cell phone has a flashlight app. In the middle of watching a good movie? You can probably pick up where you left off through that movie service you have downloaded on your tablet. Can't cook? Use vour cell phone to get a pizza delivered. A nice slice of warm pizza will go perfectly with all that ice cream you have to eat.Of course, technology can only take you so far in a real crisis. Honestly,we’d be in pretty rough shape if this power cut went on for several days. And if it were the middle of a cold winter,I don’t have any way to provide heat.I have three flashlights,but since I don’t have any batteries for those flashlights I don’t think that counts.Thankfully, the power is going to be restored to us soon. I’m grateful for this little reminder of the significance of the Boy Scout axiom : be prepared. Tomorrow I'm going to pick up some candles to go with all those matches, and some batteries to go in those flashlights. What about you? Is there something you cando on this bright, sunny day today to prepare yourself and your family for the dark, unpleasant possibilities of tomorrow?1.Why was there a power cut in the authors area?A.Electricians got hurt in the truck accident.B.A power pole might be knocked down.C.The power company was checking the line.D.The residents carried out routine repair.2.By mentioning his childhood life, the author aims to show that _____.A.a power cut used to be an adventureB.he enjoyed ice cream at an early ageC.his father was fond of telling storiesD.his father took advantage of the power cut3.How does the author find the power cut at present?A.It is adventurous but beneficial.B.It frequently happens but interesting.C.It is kind of annoying but affects life little.D.It rarely occurs though theoretically possible.4.What does the author really want to say in Paragraph 4?A.The present power cut went on for several days.B.Cold winter added trouble to the present power cut.C.People are usually in a rough situation during a power cut.D.A power cut can bring us disadvantages at times.5.What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A.Be prepared for a rainy day.B.One false step will make a great difference.C.Don’t empty the water jar until the rain falls.D.Human fortunes are as unpredictable as weather.完形填空8、 Ivonette Balthazar is a 67-year-old grandmother.
