We often hear the saying, "You’ve a greater chance of being struck by lightning than..." It is used to describe something that hasn’t got much chance of happening. However, this common saying undermines (逐渐削弱) the very real danger of lightning.
Last Friday, at least five people were killed by lightning in Nepal. Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths among natural disasters in the US. The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those, about 73 people die. More people are killed by lightning than by tornados(龙卷风) and hurricanes. Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters. To raise awareness(意识)of the damage of lightning, the US has made June 22—28 National Lightning Safety Week, which aims to warn the public of the danger of lightning and provide safety tips about what to do during thunderstorms.
"If you can hear thunder (雷), you are in danger of being struck by lightning," said Rocky Lopes, a disaster educator at the American Red Cross."Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any minute, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until the storm has ended. The single most important thing to remember is to find a hiding place,"Rockey said.
Summer is the time for most lightning storms, so when lightning strikes across the sky, remember these safety tips: stop working, fishing, swimming or playing in an open area. If you count less than ten seconds between the thunder and the lightning flash, take cover inside the nearest building. If that is not possible, follow these instructions:
Do not use a mobile phone.
Get off bicycles or motorcycles.
Crouch(蹲下) down if there is no hiding place.

27. Among all the safety tips, the most important one is that when you are outside and hear thunder you should .
A. stand beside your motorcycle | B. quickly find a place to hide |
C. count ten between the thunder | D. not use a hair drier |
28. What is the purpose of the author in the passage?
A. To show it is extremely dangerous to stay outside.
B. To show lightning seriously threatens people’s lives.
