means a lonely child. Many single-child parents feel a dilemma (进退两难) associated with their
decision to have only one child. There are no other children in the family for the child to associate with
(交往) , and this may lead to the child feeling lonely at times, especially during vacations.
Another common argument against having just one child is that an only child may be more spoiled
than one with brothers or sisters. Many people believe that a single child will not have leamed to
negotiate with others, and respect the give-and-take involved in many relationships. Some think this
may leave the child less able to interact(交往) well with people his or her own age than one who has
been raised with brothers or sisters.
However,for some single-child parents, particularly those with busy careers, the pressures of giving
time and energy to a second child can seem too great, resulting in them selecting to have no more children. For other parents, the financial burden of having a second child may be the prime consideration. Still
others believe that, , the parents can give, and the child can receive, more quality time and attention.
This often leads to increased self-respect which, combined with increased independence, can lead to the
child being more confident.

there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These
people are willing to risk(冒……危险) being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the
excitement of watching the storm close up.
"Storm chasing (追逐 )" is becoming an increasingly popular hobby (喜好) , especially in the
Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser
begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1 000
kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw
a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents
caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm- chasing
vacations during the storm season.
Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. "Storm chasing is 95% driving, " says
Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm- chasing. "sSometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers. "
However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. "When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight
you will ever see in your life, " says Jasper Morley. "Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It
is the greatest show on Earth. "
1. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to .
A. head straight for the center of the storm

2. Beginners of storm chasing are advised .
A not to drive in a heavy rain
B. to do it in an organized way
C. not to get too close to a storm
D. to spend more time on it in summer
3. By saying "it is all worth it" in the last paragraph, the author means that .
A. storm chasing costs a lot of money
B. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
C. efforts in storm chasing are well paid
D. a storm presents the greatest show on earth
4. What can we leam from the text?
A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment.
B. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.
C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.
D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people.
explanation is connected with the Babylonians.
Many,many centuries ago,large distances were measured in the Babylonian mile. The Babylonian
mile equaled about seven of our miles. Because of its length, the time needed to travel the Babylonian
mile became a measure of time. One day was said to be twelve Babylonian time-miles.
About one thousand years before Christ, the Babylonians began keeping records of star movements.
They needed a way to record how much time passed between the moment they first saw a star and
then observed it again. They used the Babylonian time-mile as their measure of time.
In order to have small units of time, the Babylonians divided their time-mile into thirty parts. The
Babylonians believed that each trip around the sky was a circle. One complete trip around the sky,
they reasoned,took one day.
You already know that one day was the same as twelve Babylonian time-mile. Since each time-mile
was divided into thirty parts,the circular trip around the sky was 12 x 30,or 360 parts long. That is how
there came to be 360 degrees in a circle.
1. The purpose of this passage is to explain .
A. how the Babylonians measured the time of star movements
B. why the circle is divided int0 360 degrees
C. the Babylonian mile and the Babylonian time-mile
D. the Babylonians" ideas about the sky
2. For what was the Babylonian time-mile divided into thirty parts?
A. To make a day into 360 parts.
B. To make a circle into 360 parts.
C. To measure more exact distances.
D. To measure more exact time.
3. We conclude the one Babylonian time-mile equals .
A. two hours
B. about seven miles
C. one day
D. twelve degrees
4. Suppose o on the following circle was the time the Babylonians first saw a star,and then it took 13. 5
Babyloruan time-miles to see it again,where should the time be marked on the circle?
A. 45.
B. 90.
C. 135.
D. 315.
an important recognition of my work, but the real pleasure was in the work itself. Scientific research is like an exploration of a voyage of discovery. You are continually trying out new things that have not beendone before. Many of them will lead nowhere and you have to try something different, but sometimes an
experiment does work and tells you something new and that is really exciting. However small the new
finding may be, it is great to think "I am the only person who knows this" and then you will have the fun of
thinking what this finding will lead to and deciding what will be the next experiment. One of the best things about scientific research is that you are always doing something different and it is never boring. There are
good times when things go well and bad times when they don"t. Some people get discouraged at the
difficult times but when I have a failure, my policy has always been not to worry but to start planning the
nextexperiment, which is always fun.
It is very exciting to make a new discovery. Some people will do the strangest things for this
excitement, such as going round the world in a balloon or walking to the North Pole. There are not many
new places to explore but there is a lot of new information to be discovered in science and a journey into
this unknown area can be much more worthwhile and just as exciting.
I"m sometimes asked, "What do you have to do to win a Noble Prize?" My answer is, "I don"t know.
I have never tried. " But I know of one way not to win. There are some people whose main reason for
doing science is to win prizes and they are always thinking about how to do it. Such people don"t succeed. To do good science you must be interested in it and enjoy doing experiments and thinking out problems.
And, of course, you must be prepared to work hard and not to be too discouraged by failures.
1. In the writer"s eyes his greatest pleasure in all his lifetime is .
A. to win the Nobel Prize for the first time
B. to be awarded the Nobel Prize for the second time
C. in the work itself
D. to have a much more important recogniition of his work
2. Why did the writer think scientific research to be one of the best things?
A. You will be able to win the Nobel Prize through the scientific research.
B. You can make as much money as possible by doing the scientific research.
C. You may continue doing with something different and exciting, and so you can never be
tired of doing the scientific research.
D. You can get much more chances of promotion(晋级) by making the scientific research.
3. What would the writer do when he had a failure?
A. He would forget this failure and start the next experiment.
B. He used to be womed about it for several days and never forget it.
C. He always gave up his study as the result of the failure.
D. He used to think out the reasons and then continue to do it again.
countries decide to become twin towns.
Their citizens find pen-friends in the twin town. They exchange newspapers and stamps. The school
discuss teaching methods with the teachers in the twin town. Officials visit the twin town for celebrations. Ordinary citizens travel to the twin town, too, but not very often if it is far away.
Sometimes schools even exchange school classes for two or three weeks! For example, Cerman
middle school students study for a while at the school in Britain, staying with British families. A few
months later,their British friends come to study in Germany.
Some towns even arrange exchange visits for theatre groups,chorus (合唱队 ) and orchestras (管
弦乐队) . Others send lectures to the twin town who tell the people there all about their own town, and
show photos and slides.
Some towns organize exhibitions to show works of art, for example paintings by artists from their own
town.
Many British towns are so pleased with the result of the twinning that they set out to find more than one
twin town!
