  Heavy rain and wind plagued Florida on Tuesday, June 13, as Hurricane Alberto hit land near Adams Beach.This storm started as a hurricane but, as it drew closer to Florida, it lessened and became weaker until it was only a tropical(热带的)storm.Even so, winds up to 50 mph were being recorded by the National Hurricane Center.

  The storm did cause some problems for homeowners in the nearby area of Adams Beach.Electricity to 21,000 houses and businesses was cut off, and there was minor flooding in neighborhoods.However, this was a small problem in comparison to the normal power outages(停电期间)that occur during a hurricane.

  Although tropical storms are not as severe as hurricanes, it’s very important to take safety measures.Lightning is a very serious concern, so people should stay inside their homes during a storm.Also, rubbish and dangerous objects may get swept into a flood, so it’s best to remain on high ground or out of the water in case a flood occurs.Folks trapped in hurricanes or severe storms should also stay away from windows.

  She closed her letter to me repeating my mother's words of so long   16  , “Bonnie, I don't know what to say...so I'll just say I love you.”

  One day, a ragged(衣衫褴褛的)man with an old wallet in his hand was asking at every door along the street for a few cents to buy something to eat.As he was complaining about his bad fortune, he kept   1   why those folks who had so much money were never   2   and were always wanting more.

  “As for me, if I had only enough to   3   and to wear, I wouldn’t want anything more, ”said the beggar.

  Just at that moment Fortune(命运女神)came down the   4  .She saw the beggar and said to him, “Listen!I’ve long wished to   5   you.Now, hold your   6   and I’ll pour this gold into it.But I’ll pour only on this   7  :All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold;but every piece falling upon the   8   shall become dust.Do you understand?”

  “Yes, I understand, ”said the beggar.“Then have a   10  .Your wallet is   10  , so don’t load it too heavily.”said Fortune.The beggar was so glad that he could hardly   11  .He quickly opened his wallet, and a   12   of yellow coins was poured into it.The wallet soon began to grow heavy.

  “Is that enough?” asked Fortune.“Not yet.”“Isn’t it cracking?”“Never   13  .”The wallet was filled with so many coins that the beggar’s hands began to   14  .“Ah, if only the golden stream would   15   forever!I’m the richest man in the world now!Just a little more.”said the beggar.“  16   just a handful or two.”“There!It’s full.The wallet will   17  .”“But it will   18   a little more, just a little more!”

  Another piece was added and the wallet split(裂开).The   19   fell upon the ground and was turned to dust.The beggar had now   20   but his broken wallet.

  The Village of Langshort is halfway along the old coach road from London to the South Coast. Young Henry Buckle was there when a car passed through the village for the first time, in the early 1900s. Later, as the owner of what had been his father's general store, he remembers selling ice-creams and soft drinks to families that passed through the village in cars and coaches on their way to the seaside.

  But the traffic did not only bring trade to the village, it also brought noise and danger. As the years passed, the peace of what had been a quiet country village was broken by roaring engines; Farmer Dodd's gates were left open by day-trippers enjoying a picnic in his field; and trees that had been familiar friends were cut down so that the road through the village could be made wider and safer.

  Safer, that is, for the cars and heavy lorries that thundered past within a few metres of Henry Buckle's general store. But it was not safer for Henry's son Gerald, and the other children of the village; and it was not safer for the old cottages that were shaken from their chimneys to their floors by every lorry that passed. Nor was it safer for Henry himself; as the old man moved, more slowly now, from his store to the pub and to the butcher's shop of his friend George Carter, just across the street.

  The street had been where the life of the village was lived, where games were played, work was done and long conversations were held. Now it cut the village in two, and brought not life but death. Henry was knocked down and killed one night by a passing car. A great character, part of old Langshort, had died.

  But Henry had not been buried long before his son Gerald, George Carter and others, had dressed as gasmen, and dug up the road, causing the traffic to follow another road right round the village, instead of through it.

  Right up Your Street is the story of men who, when they are pushed too far, act quickly to defend a way of life that most of us have let go for good.

  “Village life is described with a loving, and truthful pen” -- Morning Mail

  “A book that puts the car on trial” -- Evening Post

(1) As a result of the increasing amount of traffic ________

[  ]

A.the peace was broken, gates were left open and trees were cut down

B.trade grew, there was more life in the village and local people enjoyed themselves more

C.familiar friends died or left the village for somewhere quieter

D.the road became wider and safer for the village people

(2) The road was made wider so that ________.

[  ]

A.heavy lorries could thunder past within a few metres of Henry's store

B.children could play in the street more safely than they had done before

C.it would be safer for cars and heavy lorries to pass through the village

D.the traffic would not shake the old cottages beside the road

(3) Henry took longer to cross the road now, because ________.

[  ]

A.the road was wider and safer, but noisier

B.he had to cross the road by means of a foot-bridge

C.he had to go to the pub before visiting his friend

D.he was becoming quite an old man

(4) “The street had been where the life of the village was lived” means ________.

[  ]

A.everyone who lived in the village lived on one or other side of the street

B.most of what happened in the village happened in the street

C.everyone worked in shops at the sides of the street

D.it was the cars and lorries that made the village a lively place

  Last summer, I traveled to Meixian County with my friends.It is a small county at the foot of Taibai Mountain in Shanxi Province.We stayed there for one week and I   1   my vacation because of the beautiful scenery at the top of the mountain.?

  I will   2   forget the day when we climbed the main peak(山顶).The   3   in that area changes very quickly:it was sunny in the early morning when we set out,   4   it began to rain heavily when we were only half way up.Soon, we were all   5   and some of us wanted to go home.They said:“There is nothing   6   here.We came to see the scenery,   7   the pouring rain!” However, the guide   8  :“Since we have got wet already, why not just go on with our journey?”?

  So we carried on up the mountain and,   9   we even noticed, the rain stopped and the sun was smiling again.When we reached the top of the peak, the view was unique.The sky was   10   and the air fresh.The gentle wind made us feel cool.All the clouds were just like waves in the ocean,   11   and falling under our feet.We could only see the peaks of mountains, as if they were   12   floating sparsely(稀疏的)in the ocean.It was a really magical experience.

  While we were enjoying the scene, the guide said   13  , “You see, I knew that there would be no rain above the clouds.” It is   14  .While it may rain below the clouds, the sun is still there above them.

  You will never see the sun   15   you don’t try your best to climb to the top of the mountain.If we had stopped and gone home when the rain was very heavy, we would never have seen the beautiful scenery   16   the clouds.I think this is also true in   17  

  As the song says:“You won’t see the rainbow unless you have gone through the thunder and storm.” I think in the   18  , whenever I have any difficulties in my life, I will remember the   19   from the top of Taibai Mountain and the   20   which touched my heart deeply:there is no rain above the clouds.

Mr Black once decided to travel by air on business because of some reason. He liked 16 beside a window when he was 17 ,so when he got onto the plane, he 18  a window seat.

When he  23 it, however, he saw that there was a notice on it. It was written 24  ink and said,“This is reserved for proper load balance. Thank you.” Mr Black had never seen such a notice in a plane  25 ,but he thought that the plane  26   be carrying something particularly heavy in 27  baggage room which made  28  necessary to have passengers properly balanced, so he walked on and  29  another empty seat, not beside the  30 ,to sit in.
Two or three other people tried  31   in the window seat beside the soldier, but they, too, 32  the notice and went on. Then, when the plane was nearly full, a very beautiful girl stepped into the plane. The soldier, who was 33  the passengers coming in, quickly took the notice off the seat beside him-and  34   that way succeeded in  35   the company of the girl during the whole of the trip.
