【题目】Next time you’re planning to go out for a relaxing walk with your MP3 player, be sure to check the weather forecast first. Summer is the prime time for lightning strikes, a fact that Jason Bunch, a teen from Castle Rock, Colo, learned in a hard way. A couple of summers ago, he was mowing (割草) grass while listening to some Metallica on his iPod. Although there wasn’t any rain falling on Bunch, he did hear distant thunder. Bunch was then struck by lightning, which seemed to travel through his music player, blowing out his eardrums and leaving him with burns where the device and its power lines were close to his body.

Devices such as MP3 players don’t attract lightning, says Dr. Mary Ann Cooper, an emergency room physician at the University of Illinois Medical Center in Chicago. However, they may change the pathway that lightning’s energy follows in the human body. Lightning that might have passed rather harmlessly over the skin may react differently to the metal of these devices and cause damage.

Rather than leaving your tunes at home, your best bet is watching out for lightning before it hits. Though people have been injured while using MP3 players in storms, Cooper says, “The devices’ main task is keeping you from paying attention to thunder and the sky.” If you’re caught in a storm, seek shelter.

1When does lightning happen most?

A. Winter. B. Fall. C. Summer. D. Spring.

2What was the effect of this lightning strike on Jason Bunch?

B. The lightning passed harmlessly over Bunch’s skin.

C. Bunch fell to the ground and couldn’t move his upper body.

D. Bunch was fine, but his iPod was burned by the lightning.

3What can you conclude about the safety of using MP3 players during a storm?

A. MP3 players are desperately unsafe to use during a storm.

B. IPods are safe to use during a storm, but other MP3 players are not.

C. MP3 players increase your safety during a storm by directing lightning toward the ground.

D. MP3 players become unsafe to use if they keep you from paying attention during a storm.

4The primary purpose of this text is .

A. to describe the joy that Jason Bunch felt after he survived a lightning strike

B. to inform the risks of wearing an MP3 player during lightning strikes

C. to tell a lightning emergency Jason Bunch met with

The Youngest Skier To The South Pole

On Friday December 9t",a 16-year-old skier,Ameba Hempleman-Adams reached the South Pole with her father after skiing 97 miles and spending 17 nights on the ice. On the final day they skied 14 miles and afterwards Ameba said she felt“elated and tired" on reaching the South Pole.

“The biggest challenges were the freezing cold and eating only dried food.The best bit has been experiencing what Dad does on expeditions(探险).It's the first time I've been on a difficult long journey with him and now I know what it's like.The trip brought me closer to Dad,but I also had to put up with his snoring(鼾声)which was terrible.’, She added,“Would I do it again? I'm not sure. I'll have to think about that after a few nights' sleep!At times it's been really hard:I've got aching shoulders,and my back's been sore from pulling my sledge(雪橇),I've got blisters(水泡)on my feet from the boots and I've got a cold burn on my nose from my sunglasses. ____43___ ”

She said the most extraordinary part of the trip had been the breathtaking scenery and the sense of isolation in the Antarctic landscape.“I've really missed my friends while I've been away and want to thank them for all their messages of support.”

Friends and relatives who posted comments on Ameba's expedition website paid tribute(致敬)to her positive attitude which , they said ,would be an inspiration to others.

Her father,David,said“Ameba has done amazing well. I'm proud of her.She showed real determination. She was tough and she pulled her sledge the whole way. It was a special experience to share those 97 miles with her.”

【题目】 Parents who have books in the home increase the level of education their children will attain(获得), whether rich or poor, according to a 20-year study led by Mariah Evans.

For years, educators have thought the strongest predictor(预示物) of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated. But, the study showed that the difference between being raised in a bookless home compared to being raised in a home with a 500-book library has as great an effect on the level of education a child will attain as the difference between having parents who are barely literate (有文化的) and having parents who have a university education.

Being a sociologist, Evans was particularly interested to find that children of less-educated parents benefit the most from having books in the home. What kinds of investments should we make to help these kids get ahead? The results of this study indicate that getting some books into their homes is an inexpensive way that we can help these children succeed. Evans said, “Even a little bit goes a long way. Having as few as 20 books in the home still has a significant impact on motivating a child to a higher level of education, and the more books you add, the greater benefit the children get.”

The researchers were struck by the strong effect having books in the home had on children's educational attainment even above and beyond such factors as education level of the parents, the father's occupation or the economic level of the country.

Having books in the home is twice as important as the father's education level, and more important than whether a child was brought up in a developing country or a developed country. Surprisingly, the difference in educational attainment for children born in a developed country and children born in a developing country was just 2 years, less than two-thirds of the effect that having 500 or more books in the home had on children.

1In the past educators held a point of view that ______ .

A.children whose family had a library would possibly attain high levels of education

B.children who were born in poor families studied harder than those in rich families

C.children whose parents are highly educated would attain high levels of education

D.parents’ level of education had nothing to do with their children’s levels of education

2What does the underlined word “motivating” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.Making somebody want to do something.

B.Helping somebody to finish something

C.Making somebody pretend to do something.

D.Preventing somebody from achieving something.

3Which of the following has the most important effect on the level of education a child will gain?

A.The economic level of the country.B.The father’s occupation.

C.Education levels of parents.D.Having books in the home.

【题目】Camping Tips

Camping offers the quietness of escape.1Because exercise and the beauty of nature can help people relax from their busy life.

Whether you're in the woods, in the desert, or climbing mountains, you'll want to keep some survival skills in mind to make sure of a safe trip.2Different terrains (地势) carry different challenges. For example, putting up a tent on sand is very different from setting it up on land, and if you don't have the right equipment, you could find yourself sleeping under the stars on a windy beach.

3For example, everything from poisonous (有毒的) plants to dangerous wildlife. As you plan your trip, ask an outdoors expert at your local sporting goods store for advice, go online to research where you'll be going, or find some books in the library.

A day or so before you leave, check local weather forecasts, so you won't end up in the path of a hurricane, flooding or other natural disasters.4Besides, it will also help you know whether to give up the area.

If you hike to your campsite, practise walking with your fully packed backpack to get an idea of how the pack fits. This helps to prevent the case when you are too tired to walk with it. It's also a good idea to practice walking in the shoes you'll be wearing.

5If you're hiking in far areas with no dustbins, you'll need to carry out your rubbish and other things. Make this easier by packing as lightly as you can.

A. Know the camping environment.

B. Taking enough money with you is necessary.

C. Remembering a hiking trip will bring you much pleasure.

D. You'll also need to be prepared for any possible dangers.

E. Knowing the weather will help you find out how you can prepare.

F. And remember that saying “Take only pictures. Leave only footprints”

G. If it's combined with (与……结合) the exercise of a hiking trip, it's good for body and mind.
