　　Hotlines have become common in China. Some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage listeners to take part in their talk shows.

　　That's a good idea. Yet, the fact is some people do nothing but break the whole programme.

　　Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host (主持人) is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller asks a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance (无知). Then the host has to answer and explain how silly this is! It wastes a lot of time.

　　It seems that some people phone the hotlines in fun. They just want to let listeners hear them. They don't care what the topic is about, whether they themselves are interested or how silly they appear to be.

　　I'm totally bored (厌烦) by those people. It's necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmes .In my opinion, if a caller doesn't know what is going on, the operator should not let him take part in it.

1．The sentence “some people do nothing but break the whole programme.”may tell us that ________.

[　　]

A．radio stations use hotlines in a wrong way

B．some people are likely to break things

C．some people are very troublesome

D．some people have enjoyed the programme

[　　]

A．Some people know little about the topic under discussion.

B．Some people do not know what the host is talking about.

C．Some people do not know what the show is about.

D．The writer tells us that the host is silly.

3．The host had to answer and explain ________.

[　　]

A．for the host works hard.

B．because of the caller's ignorance.

C．for the host likes talking to the caller.

D．because a lot of questions are raised.

　　Lisa was running late．Lisa, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitors on the way：her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown．But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warln．By the time she got to the platform, Lisa felt weak and tired--maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought．She rested herself against a post close to the tracks．

　　Several yards away, Frank, 43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer, found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop．They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying．

　　But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, “Oh, my God, she fell in!”Frank didn’t hesitate．He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails．“No!Not you!”his girlfriend screamed after him．

　　She was right to be alarmed．By the time Frank reached Lisa, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming．The train was about 20 seconds from the station．

　　It was hard to lift her．She was just out．But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge．That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness, felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse．

　　Lisa thought she’d been robbed．A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head．And she tried to talk but she couldn’t, and that was when she realized how much pain she was in．

　　Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer．Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40－minute train ride downtown-just as he had been seconds after the rescue, which made her think about her reaction at the time．“I saw the train coming and 1 was thinking he was going to die,”she explained．

　　Many people like the feeling of the gentle wind in spring．Many like to see the falling leaves dancing in the wind in autumn．But sometimes, when the wind becomes a storm, it can be very destructive(毁灭性的)．

　　A series of such storms struck the US last month and caused very serious damage and human pain．

　　Every year, major storms cause many problems around the world．There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful forces of nature．But new techniques are helping scientists to predict(预测)how, when, and where big storms will happen．The more exact scientists' warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms．

　　Predictions are improving．“We've gotten better over the years, especially the last few years,”says Phil Klotzback, a scientist at an American university．How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction．“For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right,”Klotzback says．

　　First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air．As it rises, the vapor(水蒸气)cools and turns back into liquid．This process gives off heat．This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase．It drives the formation(形成)of a hurricane．

　　If wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour, the system is called a“tropical storm”(热带风暴), and it gets a name．At 75 miles per hour, it becomes a hurricane．

　　Hurricanes that hit the US start when a thunderstorm forms off the coast of Africa．Storms also develop over tropical waters in other parts of the world．

　　On average, 60 or 70 storms form off Africa every year．About 10 of them get names．There are usually about six hurricanes．Two tend to be very big, with winds of 115 miles per hour or higher．

　　The hurricane season lasts from June to November．Ninety percent of all hurricanes hit in August, September, and October．
