阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案
The national weather map shows a high pressure area all along the eastern coastline which brought them very pleasant, sunny weather from New York to Florida. But showers and thunder storms are happening from Ohio River all the way south to the Gulf coast leaving heavy amounts of rain over the southern states.
By far the worst of the storms has taken place in and around Texas. Some Texas stations have reported up to fifteen inches of rain in a twenty-four-hour period with high winds and thunder storms. Two tornadoes (龙卷风) were reported along the Gulf coast of Texas, but we have no confirmation (证实) of damages or injury.
Heavy amounts of snow were reported in the Rodey Mountain region with record cold temperatures in Denver and Boulder. As much as a foot of snow has fallen in some of the mountain stations.
In contrast, temperatures in Arizona and the desert Southwest went over the on-hundred-degree Fahrenheit mark again today under bright, sunny skies.

查看习题详情和答案>>If you are planning on traveling, there are few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and double-check departure (出发) time. It is surprising how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at he airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards (信用卡), it is still important to have some local money in cash (现金). Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. You can imagine how terrible I felt at that moment.
The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination(目的地) before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome of Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.

Everyone needs sleep so that their bodies can make up the energy used in the day．Growth takes place mainly when we are asleep．Children need more sleep than grown-ups because they are still growing．New-born babies sleep nearly all the time except when they are being fed．Although we are not conscious of anything when we are asleep, sometimes we dream．When we dream we imagine that we are awake．Often strange things seem to be happening to us．Dreams are a mixture of our fears and hopes and what we have done and thought．Sleep and dreams affect our moods and the moods affect our performance throughout the day．Generally, we will feel happier in the day if we sleep well at night．
Yellowstone Weather
Yellowstone National Park is at high altitude(海拔). Most of the park is above 7,500 feet (2,275 meters).
Yellowstone's weather is unpredictable. In summer, it may be warm and sunny with temperatures in the high 70s. At night in any given month, the temperature may drop close to freezing. So it is best to come prepared for cold evenings and mornings, especially if you are camping or hiking. When you leave your campsite, please leave it prepared for possible thundershowers and wind.
A sunny warm day may become fiercely stormy with wind, rain, sleet and sometimes snow. Without enough clothing, and easy day hike or boat trip can turn into a battle for survival.
