In the Charles F. Johnson Elementary School in New York, there is a special radio. It gives people warnings(警报)about bad weather.

One day, there came a sound from the radio. This sound brought the piece of news: a heavy storm was coming. William Tomic, principal(校长)of the school, asked teachers to bring children indoors and put them in a safe place at once.

Minutes later, the storm came. However, because of the warning of the radio and quick work of the principal, no one was hurt.

“ The radio really did work very well._________________(我们对它的工作感到很高兴)." William Tomic said. " the parents were as well."

The U.S. government hopes there will be more such success stories. It plans to give this kind of radios to all 97,000 public schools in the country.

Every year,more than 10,000 big thunderstorms, 2,500 floods, 1,000 tornadoes(龙卷风) and some hurricanes(飓风)take place in the U.S., so the warning radios are very useful. They not only give people warnings about bad weather, but also give warnings about other dangerous things.

阅读下面两篇短文,根据所给语境,按要求完成下列各题。

You can buy chewing gum in nearly every country of the world.

① But it wasn’t always like that.

The American Indians were the first people to chew gum. This

gum came from a special tree that grew on their land. In 1848, a sailor

called John Curtis began selling it. He was the first person to sell

chewing gum. The gum he sold cost just a few cents for two pieces. It

became popular very quickly even though it was very hard to chew.

② Nowadays, other things are added to the gum to make it soft and

sweet.

By 1890, there were hundreds of different chewing gums. The

most famous name in chewing gum, however, is probably William

Wrigley. He spent a lot of money in advertising and even sent free

pieces of gum to children on their birthdays. ③ He also said that

chewing gum helped people work better and that it stopped people

from feeling tired.

Although today many millions of people chew gum, not

everyone thinks it is a good thing to do. Many people think it is dirty.

The Singapore government does not allow people to buy chewing

gum. One reason for this is that when some people have chewed all

the taste out of their piece of gum, they take it out of their mouths

and put it on to the backs of seats or other places.
