Now satellites(卫星)are helping to forecast the weather. They are in space and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere(大气), because this is where the weather forms(形成). They send these pictures to the weather station. So meteorologists(气象专家)can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare(比较)them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours .This may mean the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for 3 or 5 days. Soon, perhaps , they may forecast the weather for a week or more ahead(提前)

D.weather forecasting

When we talk about intelligence(智力),we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school.By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving(表现),especially in a new situation.If we want to test intelligence,we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.
For example,when in a new situation,an intelligent person thinks about the situation,not about himself or what might happen to him.He tries to find out all be can,and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it.He probably isn’t sure how it will all work out,but at least he tries.And if he cannot make things work out right,he doesn’t feel ashamed(羞愧)that he failed,he just tries to learn from his mistakes.An intelligent person,even if he is very young,has a special outlook(看法)on life,a special feeling about life,and how he fits into it.
If you look at children, you’ll see great different between what we call “bright” children and “non-bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the some kind with different amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life-he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world: he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.
小题1:According to this passage, intelligence is the ability to _______.

小题4:If an intelligent person failed,he would_______.
A.try not to feel ashamedB.learn from his mistakes
C.try to find all he couldD.make sure what result he would get
小题5:Bright children and non-bright children________.

The Xin’an Street Community(社区)began three programs not long ago.
The Neighborhood Clean-up Program
Every Sunday at 5:00pm, the neighbors begin cleaning Xin’an Street from one end to the other. The head of the Community, Zhao Fuqin, said, “The first Sunday, only eleven people came, but we picked up over seven big bags of rubbish (垃圾)from the sidewalk and street. The next weekend, twenty people came, and filled eight rubbish bags. Now the neighborhood really looks great!”

Now I know my neighbors are watching for trouble. ” According to the police, there are fewer problems on Xin’an Street. “Calls to 110 went down last month. Criminals knew that the people on Xin’an Street were watching, so they stayed away,” said a policeman.
The Neighborhood Fitness Program
A Health Club was built last month, where the neighbors can do different kinds of sports like basketball, ping-pong ball, tennis, etc. “Every morning you can see groups of neighbors running, dancing and playing Taijiquan.

Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and one of the largest free-standing mountains in the world, and some say, the most beautiful place on the earth!
The mountain towers 15,000 feet above the plains. Mount Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania and it covers an area of 60 miles long and 40 miles wide. Kilimanjaro is an extinct volcano(死火山), with 3 peaks. Kibo is the highest one in the center.
Because of Kilimanjaro’s great height, the mountain influences its own weather. Winds incoming from the Indian Ocean are stopped upward by the mountain and drop their moisture(湿气) as rain and snow. People have planted coffee, corn, and other crops on the lower slopes(斜坡).
Mount Kilimanjaro now attracts many thousands of walkers each year. Because of a temperature rise in recent years, the beautiful snow cap of Kilimanjaro is retreating(消退)fast. A research said that the white snow on the mountain might be gone in 15 years. What a pity!
小题1:The writer is worried about Mount Kilimanjaro’s ________.
A.great heightB.extinct volcanoC.rainforestsD.white snow cap
小题2:Mount Kilimanjaro is __________
A.the highest mountain in the worldB.an active volcano
C.a free-standing mountainD.15,000 feet above the sea level
小题3:The snow on the mountain comes from ________.
A.the Indian OceanB.the Pacific Ocean
C.the Atlantic OceanD.the Red Sea
小题4:_________ influences the mountain’s own weather.
A.Rain and snowB.Its great heightC.CropsD.The moisture
小题5: People should _______ to stop the mountain’s snow cap from melting.
A.save the water of the Indian OceanB.protect the environment
C.not visit KilimanjaroD.not plant crops on the mountain
If we are driving a car or crossing a street, we will stop when the traffic lights turn red. Why do we use red rather than other colors?
As we know, scattering (散射) happens when light goes through the air. For the same media, if the wavelength (波长) is long, the scattering will be short. If the wavelength is short, then the scattering will be long.
Of all light we can see red has the longest wavelength, so the scattering is the weakest. That means the red light travels far. In fact, it travels farther on rainy days.
Using the red light can help drivers in farther areas see the lights. It helps drivers slow down or stop in time. If drivers don’t see the red light until they are close, they may not be able to stop the car in time. An accident may happen. Red can also excite people. We can act more quickly when we see the color red.
In a word, red light helps drivers stop in time and help prevent accidents.
小题1:______ has the longest wavelength of all light we can see.
A.RedB.GreenC.YellowD.Black
小题2:Red light travels farther on ______ days.
A.windyB.sunnyC.rainyD.cloudy
小题3:Red can make people act more quickly because ____________.
A.red can make people happierB.the scattering of red is very short
C.the scattering of red is very longD.red can make people more excited
小题4:The underlined word “prevent” means ______ in Chinese.
A.逃避B.防止C.处理D.检查
小题5:The passage mainly tells us ____________.
A.why accidents happenB.how the red light travels
C.why we use red traffic lightsD.how to stop in time at traffic lights
Many strong and out-of-control emotions are recognized as an illness. People who are always very sad have depression (抑郁症); those who worry a lot have anxiety.
But what about anger problems? Anger is largely viewed as a secondary emotion – one caused by other emotions. People are thought to be angry because they are sad, anxious or stressed. In the past, many doctors didn’t accept the idea that anger could be a problem all on its own.
Today, though, a growing number of mental health experts think that anger is a serious problem that needs its own treatment.
How to tell the difference between “normal” anger and “anger problem” is difficult. After all, everyone gets really mad from time to time. Experts point out a few ways.
Disordered anger, as it is sometimes called, tends to be of greater intensity (强度). It takes very little to set off a person with an anger problem, and their responses (反应) are very strong. An example: While most people would get upset if a driver cut them off, someone with disordered anger might try to chase down the car and force it off the road.
And in cases of disordered anger, the person gets angry more frequently and his/her anger lasts longer. For most people, angry feelings disappear quickly. But people with anger problems often stay angry for days, weeks or even years; their feelings of anger don’t disappear over time.
Consequences are also important to consider: Disordered anger often damages people’s lives. “It interferes (干扰) with people’s relationships and their jobs,” says Raymond Chip Tafrate, a US psychologist. “Even their health is affected.”
Anger clearly increases the risk of certain health problems, as many studies have shown. “When a person is angry, their heart beats faster and their blood pressure goes up,” says Howard Kassinove, a professor at Hofstra University in New York. Over time, these changes take their toll on the body, he adds.
Experts suggest that people with an anger problem take anger-management programs. The programs teach people to control their responses to stressful situations through the use of relaxation techniques. The programs sometimes include life-skills training as well: increasing someone’s level of competence (竞争)– whether on the job or as a parent or partner – helps bring down stress and cut angry feelings.
小题1:A person who _________ most possibly has disordered anger in the experts’ opinion?
A.can’t get out of anger quickly
B.is dissatisfied with relationships
C.has high blood pressure
D.is worried about his job
小题2:What does the underlined word Consequences mean?
A.Responses.B.Effects.C.Reasons.D.Feelings
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Anger is an secondary emotion that makes people sad and stressed.
B.Anger was recognized as an illness by most doctors in the past.
C.A person with an anger problem gets angry more often and easily.
D.The use of relaxation techniques is the best way to manage anger.
小题4: What is the best title of the passage?
A.Can anger be an illness?
B.Is it disordered anger?
C.Can anger influence our life?
D.Is anger management important?
