of any student depends on the qualities (品质) and dedication (贡献) of a teacher. It is a famous saying that
"A teacher is like a light-house which shows the right path to people in darkess". So to be a teacher is in fact
a great responsibility and it"s not easy.
A good teacher, first of all, must like working with people. He or she must have a great enthusiasm for
the subject being taught-even if you aren"t a great expert in a special subject, you can still teach it well if you
enjoy teaching knowledge and are good at communicating with other people.
As far as nature is involved, the one quality a good teacher must have is patience. You must never be angry
with students because they don"t understand something or _____. You must have a sense of humor and create
an atmosphere where everyone knows they can ask questions, try out new ideas and maybe make mistakes.
Finally, a good teacher must be in charge of the class. It"s very good if the students decide some aspects of
how learning takes place, what they learn etc., but the classroom is a much happier and more interesting place
if everyone knows that the teacher is a professional (专业人才), who knows what he is doing and can be
trusted (信赖) to run the lesson effectively. It"s the teacher"s responsibility to keep the class going. So a good
teacher should be good at dealing with all kinds of situations in class.

Earthquakes are one of the most powerful natural forces on earth and regularly affect people around the
world. Unlike often equally damaging severe weather events such as hurricanes and tornadoes, earthquakes
can hit at any time. Earthquakes can also have a range of magnitudes (震级) with the strongest having
destructive consequences for the areas where they are centered, nearby areas, and even some far away areas
in the case of earthquake-created tsunamis (海啸).
Until relatively recently, geologists and other scientists were not entirely sure what caused earthquakes.
Now with increasing technology, they are able to give more solid reasons for them.
Earthquakes are defined as a shaking of the earth"s surface that occurs after a release of energy in the
earth"s crust (壳).
Because the earth"s crust is made up of numerous plates that are constantly moving slowly, shakings can
occur and result in small earthquakes. Most earthquakes are quite small so they are not readily felt. Larger
and more violent earthquakes are those that occur in a release of energy as the plates slide past or run into
one another.
Large earthquakes can focus on the boundaries where two plates meet, but they are not limited to these
areas. As the plates move, breaks in the earth"s crust develop and earthquakes are often located on them.
These breaks are referred to as faults, of which there are three types and all create earthquakes when they
move.
In all of these faults, the most damaging earthquakes happen when the blocks of rock become locked
together due to the intense friction (摩擦) created when they move. As they continue attempting to move
once they are locked, pressure continues to build until it has enough energy to move the rock and the blocks
move, creating an earthquake.
In addition to the main shaking created by an earthquake, there are often foreshocks and aftershocks.
Foreshocks generally increase in magnitude leading to the main earthquake, whereas aftershocks happen
_____ and decrease in strength.

with any disability (障碍). But today we look at three private schools that serve only students with learning
disabilities.
The Hillside School in Pennsylvania accepts up to one hundred and twenty-eight children. The students
aged five to thirteen have disorders with language, writing or working with numbers. They may also have
attention disorders. Hillside administrators say the main goal is to prepare students to learn effectively in a
regular school. Teachers and specialists develop individual learning plans for the students, which is something
a public school may not do. Development director Kathy Greene says most students remain at Hillside for
about three years before leaving for a regular classroom setting.
"Serving intelligent students with learning differences" is the slogan of the Shelton School in Texas. Its
website says the school has about eight hundred forty students in all twelve grades, and one teacher for every
six students. The Shelton School also says its goal is to prepare students to return to regular classes, although
some do finish high school there. The website says forty-four students graduated from Shelton in 2006. And
it says they received acceptances from a total of seventy-seven colleges and universities.
Landmark College in Vermont is a college for students with learning difficulties. It offers a two-year
program that prepares students to continue their studies at a four-year school. Each student has an adviser
and an individual learning program. Landmark has international students this year from South America,
Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
All three schools offer financial aid. Hillside costs about seventeen thousand dollars a year to study in
Hillside,while it costs between ten and twenty-one thousand to study in Shelton, depending on the grade level.
Shelton and Hillside students live at home. It costs about fifty thousand dollars a year to study in Landmark
College, which includes housing.

Years ago they knew many things about the moon. They knew how big it was and how far away it was
from the earth. But they wanted to know more about it. They thought the best way was to send men to the
moon.
The moon is about 384,000 kilometers away from the earth. A plane cannot fly to the moon because the
air reaches only 240 kilometers"away from the earth. But something can fly even where there is no air. That
is a rocket.
How does a rocket fly? There is gas in the rocket. When the gas is made very hot inside the rocket, it will
rush out of the rocket, pushing the rocket up into the sky. Rockets can fly far out into space. Rockets with
men in them have been to the moon. Several rockets without men in them have flown to another planet much
farther away than the moon. One day rockets may be able to go to any place in space.
B. The distance between the earth and the moon.
C. Life on the moon.
D. Both A and B.
B. it cannot fly so high
C. there is no air on the moon
D. the moon is too far away from the earth
B. hot gas inside it
C. atomic energy
D. energy from sunlight
B. Rockets have flown to most of the planets so far.
C. Rockets with men cost more than rockets without men.
D. Rockets without men appeared earlier than rockets with men.
B. Flying to the Moon.
C. How Does a Rocket Fly?
D. Rockets in the Universe.
in the past. They are still changing it today.
The Colorado River slowly cut through stone to make the Grand Canyon.
Long ago, ice sheets cut Yosemite Valley and glaciers (冰川) were moving in Alaska.
Rains and storms hit the land from time to time. Fires sometimes burn down forests and destroy the homes
of wide animals. This happened in Yellowstone Park in 1998.
Dead volcanic (火山的) mountains such as Haleakala on Moui and Crater Lake in Oregon are beautiful to
look at. There are also several active volcanoes in the US, especially along the Pacific Coast. There are also
many earthquakes in this area. Scientists can do nothing to control earthquakes or volcanoes. This was shown
clearly on May 18, 1980. At 8: 32 that morning, Mount St. Helens in Washington State erupted (爆发). The top
of the mountain was blown off.
Over 60 people-campers, scientists, journalists, and forest workers were killed. Hundreds of square miles
of forests were knocked down. In towns over 100 miles away, day suddenly became night. An ash cloud hid
the sun for many hours. Town and fields in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho were covered with dirty grey ash.
Scientists knew that Mount St. Helens could erupt soon but no one could say when. And no one expected
the terrible strength of the eruption. Many people were surprised and weren"t ready. Harry R. Truman, 84,
owned a small hotel in Mount St. Helens. Scientists had asked him to leave because the volcano was becoming
dangerous.
Harry Truman would not leave his home. Now it is covered with many feet of dirty ash. A small cross
stands above the place where Harry probably died. Perhaps it is better that he did not see what happened to
Mount St Helens, the once beautiful lake, and the forests.
But slowly, life is returning to the dead area around the mountain. Grass and small plant are beginning to
grow again. Deer and birds have been seen in the area. The land will never be the same as it once was. Perhaps
Mount St. Helens will erupt again but this is all part of nature"s pattern of change, and man has little power to
control it.
( )1. The Colorado River slowly cut through stone to make the Grand Canyon.
( )2. Long ago, ice sheets made Yosemite Valley and the Great Lakes, and glaciers are not moving in Alaska.
( )3. Scientists knew exactly when Mount St. Helens would erupt.
( )4. Harry was finally persuaded to leave his home.
( )5. Now the land is not the same as it once was.
publishing a map. This map shows the 1 of an earthquake in each part of the country. The areas
of map where earthquakes are 2 likely to break out are called earthquake "belts". The government
is working hard to help 3 the answer to these two questions:
1. Can we foretell earthquakes?
2. Can we control earthquakes?
To answer the first question, scientists are looking very 4 at the most active fault systems in the
country, 5 the San Andress fault in California. A fault is a break between two sections of the earth"s
6 . These breaks between sections are the places where earthquakes happen. Scientists look at the
faults 7 changes which might show that an earthquake was 8 to happen. But it will probably be
many years 9 we can foretell earthquakes accurately (精确地). And the control of earthquake is even
10 away.
Nevertheless, there have been some interesting 11 in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most
interesting 12 the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4,000
meters below the surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection of water, there were a small number
of earthquakes. Scientists have 13 that the water that was injected into the rocks worked like oil 14
each other. When the water "oiled" the fault, it became slippery and the 15 of an earthquake was released
(释放). Scientists are still 16 at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a 17 between
the injection of the water and the earthquake 18 . They have supposed that it 19 be possible to inject some
20 of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.
