9．In earliest times，men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries of nature．
Some ancient people believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons of the gods．
In reality，lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth．A single flash of lightning 1.6kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs （灯泡）．
The American scientist and statesman，Benjamin Franklin，was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752．In the same year he also built the first lightning rod （避雷针）．This device protects buildings from being damaged by lightning．

Scientists judge that there are about 2，000million flashes of lightning per year．Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30to 48times a year．In the United States alone it kills an average of one person every day．
The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car．Outside，one should go to low ground and not get under trees．Also，one should stay out of water and away from metal fences．Inside a house，people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things．

3．The Grapes of Wrath （愤怒的葡萄）） is an American realist novel written by John Steinbeck and published in 1939．The book won the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize for fiction shortly after its publication．It is frequently read in American high school and college literature classes due to its historical context and enduring legacy．
Set during the Great Depression，the novel focuses on the Joads，a poor family of tenant farmers （佃农） driven from their Oklahoma home by drought，economic hardship and agricultural industry changes．Due to their nearly hopeless situation，the Joads set out for California．Along with thousands of other"Okies"，they sought jobs，land，dignity，and a future．As might be expected，the image created by the title serves as a vital symbol in the development of both the plot and the novel's greater thematic concerns：from the terrible oppression （压迫） will come terrible wrath （愤怒） but also the liberation of workers through their cooperation，which are implied but are not stated directly within the novel．
Steinbeck wrote："I want to put a tag （标签） of shame on the greedy bastards （杂种） who
are responsible for this．"This work won a large following among the working class due to
Steinbeck's sympathy to the workers'movement and his accessible prose style．
At the time of publication，Steinbeck's novel"was a phenomenon on the scale of a national
event．It was publicly banned and burned by citizens，it was debated on national talk radio； but above all，it was read．"Part of its impact arose from its passionate （饱含深情的） description of the difficult situations of the poor，and in fact，many of Steinbeck's contemporaries （同代人） attacked his social and political views．Bryan Cordyack writes，"Steinbeck was attacked as a propagandist（鼓动家） from both the left and the right of the political views．The most heated of these attacks came from the Associated Farmers of California； they were displeased with the book's description．of California farmers'attitudes and behaviors toward the migrants （季节工．They blamed the book as a'"pack of lies"．Some accused Steinbeck of exaggerating （夸大） camp （工棚） conditions to make a political point．Steinbeck had visited the camps well before publication of the novel and argued that their inhumane nature destroyed the settlers'spirit．
In 1962，the Nobel Prize committee cited Grapes of Wrath as a"great work"and as one of

magazine and BBC respectively included the novel in their"100Best English-language Novels"．
