　　Kingsley Football Club went to Bali, Indonesia, to celebrate the end of a successful season. Only half the team returned alive.

　　Seven members of the team from Australia were dead , murdered in a terrorist bomb attack （恐怖爆炸袭击） that killed around 200 people and injured another 300.

　　The world suffered another “September 11 ” on October 12 , when terrorists left bombs outside two busy nightclubs in the resort of Kuta Beach , Bali.

　　After the bombs exploded , flames rushed through the buildings, pulling legs , arms and heads off the people who lay in its path. Many of the people in the club that night now lie under plastic sheets in Bali, black and unidentifiable （无法确认的） even to their closest family members.

　　After news of the attack reached them, many parents flew out to Bali to look for their loved ones. One British girl was only identifiable to her parents because they recognized her belt buckle （皮带扣） .

　　Bomb survivor , Richard Hechnier , a 29-year-old Australian said , “I saw people on fire, people carrying others. Most were bleeding. It was chaos. It was dark except for the flames.

　　The victims were mainly westerners and many of them were Australians. For many young people in Australia, a trip to Bali is the first place they would visit without their parents, either after their school exams or in the case of Kingsley, to celebrate the end of the sporting season.

　　And people from Japan , Finland and China have been hurt in the attack.

　　An international team of investigators （调查人员） are hunting for clues and questioning suspects responsible for the explosion.

　　US President George W. Bush and Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri agreed to work together to find those behind the attack. The US believes the bombing was the work of a local terrorist group linked to the al Qaeda network （基地组织） .

　　Not only have the terrorists killed and hurt several hundred people , they have also frightened tourists away from the tropical islands of Indonesia. Thousands of tourists have already left the island and many more have cancelled planned holidays.

　　This topic is about greeting in China．A few years ago, people would greet each other with the words “Have you had your breakfast or lunch or supper?” “Yes, how about you?” Then politely, both would leave with a smile on their faces．

　　This kind of greeting tells us what people cared about many years ago．For many years, having enough to eat was the most important thing for the Chinese people．The life of most people in China has become much better now．They do not worry about their food and clothing any more．The greeting has changed to “What are you going to do?” or “Where are you going?”

　　Though the greeting has no other meaning than saying hello, it often puzzles other people who are not familiar with China．Nowadays, more and more people are using “How are you?” to greet each other．It is certainly the best way for people to say hello to each other．

18．What did people mostly care about many years ago?

A．Are you full or hungry?

B．Where are you going?

C．Good manners．

19．What does the change of greetings in China show?

A．People are less polite to each other．

B．People have bad manners now．

C．People’s life is better．

20．Which is the best way for people to say hello to each other?

A．How do you do?

The first people who gave names to hurricanes were those who knew them best — the people of Puerto Rico. The small island of Puerto Rico is in the West Indies, off the coast of Florida. This is where all the hurricanes begin that strike the east coast of the United States. Often they pass near Puerto Rico or cross it on their way north. The people of Puerto Rico expect some of these unwelcome visitors every year. Each one is named after the Saint’s Day on which it arrives. Two of the most destructive storms were the Santo Ana in 1840 and the San Ciriaco in 1899.

Giving girls’ names to hurricanes is a fairly new idea. It all began with a story called “Storm”, written by George Stewart in 1941. In it a weatherman amused himself by naming storms after girls he knew. He named one Maria. The story describes how she Maria grew and developed, and how she changed the lives of people when she struck the United States.

Weathermen of the U.S. Army and Navy used the same system during World WarⅡ. They were studying weather conditions over the Pacific Ocean. One of their duties was to warn American ships and planes when a storm was coming. Whenever they spotted one, they gave it a girl’s name. The first one of the year was given a name beginning with [A]. The second one got a name beginning with [B]. They used all the letters from A to W, and still the storms kept coming. They had to use three lists from A to W to have enough names to go around. This was the first list of hurricane names that followed the alphabet. It served as a model for the system the Weather Bureau (局) introduced in 1942.

　　Before 1950 the Weather Bureau had no special system for naming hurricanes. When a hurricane was born down in the West Indies, the Weather Bureau simply collected information about it. It reported how fast the storm was moving and where it would go next. Weather reports warned people in the path of the hurricane, so that they could do whatever was necessary to protect themselves.

　　This system worked out fine as long as weather reports talked about only one hurricane at a time. But one week in September 1950 there were three hurricanes at the same time. The things began to get confused. Some people got the hurricanes mixed up and didn’t know which was which. This convinced the Weather Bureau that it needed a code for naming the storms in order to avoid confusion in the future.

Hurricanes were first named after the _________.

       A. date on which they occurred　 B. place where they began

　    C. amount of destruction they did　     D. particular feature they have

The practice of giving girls’ names to hurricanes was started by _________.

　    A. a radio operator       B. an author                 C. a sailor              D. local people

The purpose for which weathermen of the army and navy began using girls’ names for hurricanes was ________.

　    A. to keep information from the enemy      B. to follow the standard method of the United States

　    C. not given in the article　  D. to remember a certain girl

The Weather Bureau began naming hurricanes because it would help them _________.

　    A. collect information more rapidly　  B. warn people more efficiently

　    C. make use of military (军事的) records　 D. remember them
