Elephants on the coast of Thailand are acting strange.They stamp their feet and motion toward the hills.The sea draws back from the beaches.Fish fall heavily in the mud.Suddenly,a huge wave appears.This is no ordinary wave.It is tsunami!

Tsunami waves are larger and faster than normal surface waves.A tsunami wave can travel as fast as a jet plane and can be as tall as a ten-story building.Imagine dropping a stone into a pond.The water on the surface ripples(起涟漪).A tsunami is like a very powerful ripple.Tsunamis begin when the ocean rises or falls very suddenly.Large amounts of seawater are displaced.This movement caused huge waves.

For a tsunami to occur,there must be some kind of force that causes the ocean water to become displaced.Most tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes.However,volcanoes ,landslides(塌方),large icebergs,and even meteorites(陨石)are capable of causing one of these mighty waves.

Tsunamis are extremely powerful.Ordinary waves lose power when they break.Tsunami waves can remain powerful for several days.Because tsunami waves are so strong,they can kill people,damage property,and completely ruin an ecosystem in just one hour.

Scientists have no way of predicting when a tsunami will hit.However,if a powerful enough earthquake occurs, scientists can send out a warning or a watch.A warning means that a tsunami will very likely hit soon.A watch means that conditions are favorable for a tsunami.When people are informed of a watch or a warning,they have more time to prepare.It is best not to get caught unaware when a tsunami is on the way.

A. dislike the huge wave

After years of sales growth, major publishers reported a fall in their e-book sales for the first time this year, introducing new doubts about the potential of e-books in the publishing industry. Yet despite the increasing realization that digital and print can easily coexist in the market, the question of whether the e-book will “kill” the print book continues to surface. It doesn’t matter if the intention is to predict or dismiss this possibility; the potential disappearance of the book does not stop to inspire our imagination.

After television was invented, many claimed radio would die. But radio ended up surviving by finding new uses; people started listening in cars, during tram rides and on factory floors. The myth of the disappearing book isn’t new, either. As early as 1894, there was guess that they’d be replaced by what we today call audiobooks. This happened again and again. Movies, radio, television, and smartphones—all conspired to destroy print books as a source of culture and entertainment. It is not by chance that the idea of the death of the book surfaces in moments of technological change.

We create emotional bonds with media as they become an integral part of our life. The emergence of a new technology —like e-readers — doesn’t just in indicate economic and social change. It also causes us to adjust our relationship with something that has become an integral part of our day-to-day life.

The ones who still worry for the disappearance of print books may rest assured: Books have endured many technical revolutions and are in the best position to survive this one. Yet the myth of the disappearing medium will continue to provide an appealing narrative about both the power of technology and our dislike to change. Easy to remember and to spread, the story of the death of media reflects our excitement for the future, as well as our fear of losing parts of our intimate world一and finally, of ourselves.

1.What do people tend to believe according to the text?

A. Print books will disappear in the end.

B. It is unwise to invest in e-books.

C. Digital and print will exist all the time.

D. The death of books is just an imagination.

2.What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A. The forms of books change with new technology.

B. Books have a bright digital future actually.

C. Culture will disappear with the end of books.

D. The idea of book death follows technological changes.

3.What does the myth of disappearing books reflect?

A. Our doubt about the power of technology.

B. Our fear of losing ourselves in society.

C. Our preference for new technology.

D. Our pleasure of experiencing technical revolutions.

Think for a moment about the teachers you’ve had at junior or senior high school. Which one did you like best? And why? Were the teachers you liked best also the ones who were the best teachers, in your opinion? 1.And then begin to read further.

Some very common answers to this question are that teachers need to love their students, that they need to have expert knowledge of their subjects and that they should devote themselves completely to their work. All of these ideas are, of course, true to a certain extent.2.

It’s impossible for anyone to love everyone he knows, and teachers deal with a very large number of students over the years. On the other hand, teachers should certainly be able to make their students feel that they’re interested in them as people. 3. A deep knowledge of the subject is especially important.4. That’s to say, a teacher needs to be trained in the skills of teaching. These skills include how to control a class. Finally, teachers have to devote a lot of time and energy to their work, of course. However, because they’re also models that their students must follow, it’s important that they should be well-balanced people with interests outside their school work—families, friends, hobbies, etc. 5.

A.They’re perhaps a little too simple.

B.Students ask too much from teachers.

C.Well- qualified teachers should be educated and capable.
