Imagine a perfect day: the weather is good and everything seems fine. When, suddenly, your cell phone loses its signal, the television has no programs, and you can’t get online with your computer.
What has happened? These are just the types of problems a solar（太阳） storm might cause. It may not sound as serious as other natural disasters, such as earthquakes. But today, a solar storm often puts our society in danger.
A solar storm is caused by solar flares: large sudden burning near the sun. It can give off lots of energy. The strong energy can stop the satellite systems（系统） that operate our computers, networks and so on. These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months.

“Solar flare activity is going to be much worse than what we’ve seen in the past. We’re not talking about a few cities losing power. It could be half the country, maybe more,” Solar StormW, a US website about space weather, warned.
Experts say that little can be done to predict such a storm. Governments around the world are trying to work together before the next storm, although they are not sure when that may happen.
27. Which of the following has nothing to do with a solar storm?
A. You can’t call your friends. B. You can’t watch TV.
C. You can’t ring the doorbell. D. You can’t shop online.
