The two sentences that give examples of similes are:

1. "After the rain, the beach was as hot and humid as the inside of a pressure cooker."
2. "When Andre picked up the calculus textbook, it felt like a 600-page slab of concrete."

Both sentences use "as" or "like" to make comparisons, which is characteristic of similes.
