20．Maybe you know floods（洪水），droughts（干旱），earthquakes，sandstorms and so on．But have you ever heard of typhoons？
Typhoons are some of the worst storms，usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea．Most happen in July，August and September．
How does a typhoon happen？When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer  sun，it evaporates（蒸发掉） into the air．This makes the air hotter．When the air gets warm enough，it starts to move higher up into the sky．Then，cooler air around it rushes in． It fills the space that is left．After the air gets warmer，it starts to move quickly，making wind．The wind goes in circles，and it keeps moving higher in the sky．The warmer the air gets，the quicker the wind moves．And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second，a typhoon begins．
A typhoon has two parts．One is called the"eye"．In the eye，the wind does not move so fast．The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye．This is where the strongest wind and hardest rains are．
Typhoons are very dangerous．In 2004，Typhoon Yunna killed 164 people in Zhejiang，and 24 people were missing．In May 2006，Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian，and thousands of houses were damaged．
What to do when a typhoon hits
Stay inside．Close all the windows and stay away from them．
Try to bring all of your things inside．Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!
Listen to the radio or TV for important information．
If you're told to go to a safer place，do so right away．

A．in the hot season

10．If you have a chance to go to Finland，you will probably be surprised to find how"foolish"the Finnish people are．
Take the taxi drivers for example．Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer．You can go anywhere in one，tell the driver to drop you at any place，say that you have some business to attend to，and then walk off without paying your fare．The driver w ould not show the least sign of anxiety．
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests，but also serve outside diners．Hotel guests have their meals free，so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals．The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter．With such a loose check，you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge．
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour．They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the pay．From then on，they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly．
With so many loopholes （漏洞） in everyday life，surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take"petty advantages"．But the strange thing is，all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have atte nded to their business； not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms．And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in．As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do，living in such a society has turned everyone into a real"gentleman"．
In a society of such high moral practice，what need is there for people to be on guard against others？

8．I was waiting for a phone call from my agent．He had left a message the night before，telling me that my show was to be cancelled．I called him several times，but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later．So I waited and waited，but there was still no call．Three hours passing by，I became more and more impatient．I was certain that my agent didn't care about my work，and he didn't care about me．I was overcome with that thought．I started to shout at the phone，
"Let me wait，will you？Who do you think you are？"

I stood watching her，speechless．What on earth…．？
She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house，"Now hear this!All objects in this room---if you do anything to upset my husband，out you go．"
Then she turned to me．Kissed me and said calmly，"Honey，you just have to learn how to take control．"With that，she left the room．
After watching crazy woman rushing in and out，shouting at everything in sight，I noticed that something in my mood（情绪） had changed．I was laughing．How could I have trouble with that phone？Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things．Twenty minutes later my agent did call．I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly．

5．Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive（欺骗）？When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included，he can give you a false picture．
     For example，someone might say，"I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery（彩票）．It was great．I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"This guy's a winner，right？Maybe，maybe not．We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets，and only one was a winner．He's really a big loser!He didn't'say anything that was false，but he left out important information on purpose．That's called a half-truth．Half-truths are not technically lies，but they are just as dishonest．
     Some politicians often use this trick．Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term，her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．Then she seeks another term．One of her opponents says，"During Governor Smith's term，the state lost one million jobs!"That's true．However，an honest statement would have been，"During Governor Smith's term，the state had a net gain of two million jobs．"
     Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths．It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth．An advertisement might say，"Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache．"It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company．
     This kind of deception happens too often．It's a sad fact of life：lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can lie as well．

9．Does solving a math problem give you a headache？Do you feel nervous when you sit a math exam？For most students，math can be tough but scientists have proved that math problems can actually trigger（引起） physical pain．
Scientists came to this conclusion with an in-depth experiment，which was published in the Public Library of Science One journal．They began by finding out how much participants fear math．Those involved were asked a series of questions such as how they feel when they receive a math textbook or when they walk into a math lesson．
Based on their answers，participants were divided into groups．One group was made up of people who were particularly afraid of math and participants in the other group were more comfortable with the subject．
Both groups were then given either math tasks or word tasks．When a math task was going to come next，a yellow circle would appear but when a word task was soon to come，a blue square would be shown．
Using a brain-scan machine，scientists noticed that whenever people from Group One saw a yellow circle，their brain would respond in a way similar to when their body is feeling pain．It was like the pain they would feel，for example，if they burnt their hand on a hot stove．But they reacted less strongly when they knew that they would be faced with a word task．
However，scientists saw no strong brain response from people in the second group．
Math can be difficult，and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety （HMA），math is associated with tension，apprehension（忧虑） and fear．"When you are really thinking about the math problems，you r mind is racing and you are worrying about all the things that could go wrong，"explained Ian Lyons from University of Chicago，US，leader of the study．"The higher a person's anxiety of a maths task，the more he activated brain regions associated with threat detection，and the experience of pain．"
More interestingly，the brain activity disappeared when participants actually started dealing with the math tasks．"This means that it's not that math itself hurts； rather，the expectation of mathis painful，"Lyons said．
Based on the study，scientists suggested that things could be done to help students worry less and move past their fear of math，which might mean they perform better in tests．
72．In the first stage，scientists ask participants some questions toB．
A．see whether math hurts                  
B．find out how much they fear math
C．observe how their brain response            
D．test their endurance of pain
