Houston has received over 120 centimeters of rain in just a few days. Many Houston neighborhoods are flooded. (1) Many people decided to wait out Hurricane Harvey when it first hit southeast Texas on Friday. But after so much rain, they found the water had entered their homes and they needed to leave. That is what happened on Monday to J. C. Spencer and his wife Karen, who live in north Houston. With local police and fire department crews overwhelmed with life-saving efforts, some Houston residents had trouble getting help. The Los Angeles Times newspaper reported that some Houston residents calling 911 found out their call would not be answered for over two hours. So many residents turned to social media websites and posted messages asking for help. (2) The Spencers had another idea. They called a restaurant where they often had dinner. When the Spencers explained their problem, the store’s manager sent her husband to their house on a boat. The Spencers got on the boat and were taken to a safe place.
Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.
1. What did people want to do when Hurricane Harvey first hit southeast Texas?
2. Whom did the Spencers turn to for help?
选项
A、Wait for the hurricane to stop.
B、Call 911 for help.
