Generally, earthquakes last only seconds. Strong ground shaking during a medium（中等的） to large earthquake generally lasts about 10 to 30 seconds. Aftershocks（余震）can occur once in a while for weeks or even months.Many people think that there is an “earthquake season” or a kind of “earthquake weather”. As a matter of fact, there isnt. Earthquakes can occur at any time of the year and at time of day or night. Earthquakes occur under all weather conditions-sunny, wet. or cold without any special weather tendency.Also, you dont need to worry that the ground will open up and swallow people when earthquakes occur. Open ground cracks may form during an earthquake, for example, to land sliding or ground falling. However, such cracks tend to be open gaps (they dont “swallow”) that a person could stand in afterwards.The safest place in an earthquake is an open field because buildings and falling objects can injure or kill you. If you are indoors, when you feel the ground start to shake, take cover immediately under a table or strong piece of furniture, placing something between falling objects and yourself. Dont attempt to use the stairs or an elevator to get out of the building.1Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AEarthquakes usually last 10 to 30 seconds.BAfter a big earthquake, there are many more quakes.CCracks in an earthquake are very dangerous.DWhat usually injures people during an earthquake are falling buildings.2The reason why there isnt “earthquake weather” is that _.Aan earthquake only lasts seconds and doesnt happen frequently.Ban earthquake can happen at any time and in any kind of weather.Cwhen an earthquake happens is related to the weatherDearthquakes dont change with the seasons3The underlined word “swallow” in Paragraph3 probably means “_”?Atake sb. / sth. in Bmake sb. frightenedCmake room for sb. to stand in Dmake the ground slideBI was in a terrible mood. Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadnt invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride, today, Beck? Its a beautiful day.”“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning.My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be mad at them and I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”.When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my fathers injuries were extensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, theres no telling what might have happened. A broken rib(肋骨)might have pierced(穿透)a lung.”My mother may have said more, but I didnt hear. I didnt hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day?It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.“Daddy I am so sorry”Its okay, sweetheart. Ill be okay.”“No,” I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. He looked at me and said. “Sweetheart, I dont remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. But I remember kissing you goodnight the night before.” He managed a weak smile.My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal. And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.4.The author was in bad mood that morning because _.A.his father had a terrible accidentB.he couldnt drive to the mall with his friends.C.his friends hadnt invited him to the cinemaD.his father didnt allow him to go out with his friends5.Why did the author say sorry to his father in the hospital?A.Because he didnt go along with his father.B.Because he was rude to his father that morning.C.Because he failed to come earlier after the accident.D.Because he couldnt look after his father in the hospital.6.The reason why the authors father said he forgot everything about that day is that _.A. he had a poor memoryB. he didnt hear what his son saidC. he just wanted to comfort his sonD. he lost his memory after the accident7.What lesson did Beck learn from the matter?A. Dont treat your parents badly.B. Dont hurt others with rude words.C. Dont move the injured in an accident.D. Dont be angry with friends at small things.CThomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age. There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them. Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “Work,”he answered. “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.8. Edison thought _.A. he could be happy if he was a genius B. genius plays the most important part in ones successC. hard work could do better than genius D. genius could do better than hard work9. Edison was _.A. very much interested in nature B. interested in discovering the secrets of natureC. interested in changing peoples ideasD. uninterested in making people happier by discovering the secrets of nature10. In Edisons opinion, _.A. thinking can supply people with enjoyment and pleasure as well as helpB. Peoples success lies mostly in geniusC. hard work is the second important thing in making people successfulD. there are few secrets for him to discover later11. The last sentence in the passage most probably implies _.A. life is too short for Edison to invent more for human beingsB. Edison made 100 inventions in his lifeC. Edison was able to live and work for 100 yearsD. people of his time were ready to give Edison another 100 yearsworkDThere are many dangerous sea creatures in the world. The following are some examples.The needlefish are commonly seen living near the surface of tropical (热带的) waters. But they can also break cover the water, and once in the air they can become dangerous flying swords. Though it is rare, people have been seriously hurt and even killed by the fish. Night fishermen in small boats are at particular risk because their lights may attract the fish.Saltwater crocodiles are the worlds largest crocodiles, sometimes reaching 23 feet in length and topping 2,200 pounds. Yet these crocodiles hunt quietly, lying in wait below shoreline waters to attack turtles and thirsty animals that have come to drink. Saltwater crocodiles kill a number of people each year.There is no doubt that the great white shark sits atop the ocean food chain. The worlds largest fish can weigh at over 5,000 pounds and reach lengths of more than 20 feet. Great white sharks have about 3,000 teeth, which they typically sink into sea lions, seals and sea turtles. These sharks are responsible for a third to a half of the 100 shark attacks on humans every year.The sea anemone (海葵) may look like the beautiful flower for which its named, but fish that swim too close may regret it. The sea anemone, which lives on the sea floor, uses its poisonous tentacles (触须) to stab passing creatures with a kind of poisonmaking them helpless and fit to be eaten.The surgeonfish (刺尾鱼) is an attractive reef fish that is poisonous. Scientists believe that the worlds seas hold some 1,200 different surgeonfish species and think that they injure about 50,000 people per year.

But there are many ways to turn the path of anxiety, anger, and sadness into a state of happiness. Here are four ideas to get you started. 16 . Laugh out loudJust expecting a happy, funny event can raise levels of pleasure-causing hormones(荷尔蒙) and lower production of stress hormones. Researchers at the University of California tested 16 men, who all agreed they thought a certain videotape was funny. Half were told three days in advance they would watch it. 17 When they actually watched the video, their levels of stress hormones dropped greatly, while their levels of pleasure-causing hormones rose 27 percent. Do one thing at a timeEduward Suarez, professor of medical psychology at Duck, found that people who do several things at the same time are more likely to have high blood pressure. 18 Instead of talking on the phone while cleaning the kitchen, sit down in a comfortable chair and turn your entire attention over to the conversation. 19 Although relationships help take away stress, sometimes you need time to recharge and reflect on your own. Take yourself out to lunch or to a movie, or simply spend an afternoon reading at home, or looking through books in a bookstore. Practice mindfulness 20 Instead of worrying about your check-up tomorrow while having dinner with your family, focus on the here and nowfood, the company, and the conversation.A. Spend time alone.B.
