The man and woman are discussing______. [br]
W: Did you see today’s newspaper? That building over in Centerville was just struck by lightning for the 14th time !
M: I didn’t read the article, but I’m not surprised. The old proverb says lightning never strikes in the same place, but it seems to me that if the conditions are right for lightning to strike one time, then it might be just as good another time.
W: Well, I don’t take any chances. If I am caught in the thunderstorm, I look for shelter in a building or closed car, since lightning is supposed to be attracted to the tallest or sharpest object in the area. Also I’ve been told that if you’re struck outdoors, the best thing you can do is keep yourself close to the ground, and avoid bodies of water. Apparently lightning is particularly attracted to water.
M: To tell you the truth, (5)even when I am at home I won’t take a bath or showers during a thunderstorm. I unplug my television, and I just avoid using anything that works electrically. Maybe I’m too nervous about these things.
W: I won’t say that. (6) According to the article, lightning starts thousands of fires every year in the United States alone. Hundreds of people are injured and even killed by lightning, and millions of dollars in damage are caused. I think you are just being sensible.
