Earthquakes can be very scary（吓人的）. But you need to keep your mind stable (坚定的) in order to make sure you are safe. Be calm and try not to run here and there.

If you manage to come out of your house, go to an open space like a garden or a park where you will be a lot safer. If you live quite some floors above in your building, try to find a place near a bulky(坚固的) object such as a bed. Curl up (蜷缩) and sit on the floor and make sure you are not near a window, fireplace, gas stove and so on. Remember don’t use lifts or escalators.

Some people say you should stand on a doorway. That is not true. If the doorway jambs (侧壁) are weak, they might fall on you. Also if people want to pass through that door, you may stop them. Leave all doorways free.

Another important thing to keep in mind is that you mustn’t climb down the stairs during an Earthquake. If the tremors (震动) stop, after a few seconds, just climb down the stairs as quickly as you can and move out of the building, but don’t run.

Earthquakes usually destroy gas pipes and electrical wires. Turn off the main gas. And don’t light candles or lighters and create an even bigger disaster.

If you’re driving and feel a shake, stop your car at the side of the road and get out. Make sure you are not on a bridge. Bridges and overhead roads (高架路) have the biggest danger of falling.

2.When an earthquake suddenly happens, you should       .

a. remain standing near a window             b. turn off the main gas

c. stay in an open space                     d. stand on a doorway

3. Which of the following is NOT true, when an earthquake suddenly happens?

4. It can be learned from the passage that     .

Have you ever heard an echo of your voice?

An echo is a reflected(反射)sound. Stand in a very large, empty hall with nothing on the walls. Then shout. The sounds you make will hit the walls and come back to you. The walls reflect the sounds. These reflected sounds are called “echoes”.

We can use reflected sound to make sound travel farther. Hold a watch about fifty centimeters from your ear. You cannot hear it. The sound of the watch travels a short way in all directions. It does not travel as far as your ear. You can make it travel to your ear by using a roll of cardboard(纸板筒).

Make the roll of cardboard about fifty centimeters long. Put one end over your ear and hold the watch at the other. Now you can hear the watch because the sound has not gone in all directions. It is reflected down the roll to your ear.

A megaphone(喇叭筒)works in the same way. It makes sound travel farther. It reflects the sound into a beam which can travel a long way. In the ship, the sailor uses the megaphone to make his voice travel. Without the megaphone, his voice cannot travel far.

We use reflected sound in many ways. We use it to measure the depth of the sea, for example. Among the animals, bats and whales use reflected sound to tell them where they are and what things are near them.

1. Which is the right order of hearing our echo in a very large, empty hall?

a. We hear the reflected sound       b. The sound returns to us  

c. The sound hits the walls          d. We make a sound

2.. From the text we learn that __________ .

3. If you haven’t got a megaphone, ____ will help you to make your voice travel farther.

Did you see snow in your hometown last winter? Did you feel it was warmer than before?

"There have been 21 warm winters in China since 1986," said scientists. They also said that in the past 100 years, as the global (全球的) temperatures went up by 0.74 °C , the temperature in North China has climbed 1.4 °C in only 50 years.

China needs to take quick action to cut carbon dioxide emission (排放)

because it's the main reason for global warming. The good news is that China has seen the importance of going green. China set the goal of cutting energy use by 20% and pollution emission by 10% in the 11th Five-Year Plan.

Can you slow down global warming? Sure! You and your family can take steps to cut the amount of carbon dioxide that is sent out into the air.

Here are some pieces of advice to help you save the earth..

Wear used clothes. Wearing your brother's, sister's or dad's old T-shirt means you save the energy.                                                                       

Change your light bulbs (灯泡). Use energy-saving light bulbs. And don't forget to turn off the lights when you leave a room and turn off your television and computer when they are not in use!

Ride the bus. Taking a bus saves a lot of oil every year.

Say no to plastic bags. The next time your parents go to the market, ask them to use baskets

Open a window. Don't use the air conditioner, and let some fresh air in. When you have to use the conditioner, set the temperature higher in the summer and lower in the winter to save energy.

Make small changes in your daily life. Don't use paper cups, bags and boxes.

It's time for all of us to do something to save the earth.

Mom:    Daniel, I need to talk to you about your behavior. Dad and I realize there is probably an explanation for why the house is so dirty, but you shouldn’t have run out of the room and closed the door so hard like that.

Daniel:     Mom, I’m sorry, but I was so angry! You want me to act like an adult but you and dad treat me like a child. Why didn’t you just ask me what had happened?

Mom:    Well, I know that grown-ups are supposed to make good decisions but sometimes we make mistakes. We were angry too. None of us stopped to think and we should have. Can you explain to me now why the house was a mess and what you did with the money we left?

Daniel: Spot was sick, Mom. Eric and I didn’t want to call you and dad on your vacation, so I used the money you left and some of my own to take him to the vet. We stayed there and waited for him all day. That is why we didn’t have time to clean the house.

1. Who is Spot?

2. Where were Daniel’s parents when Spot was sick?

   (15)   people from around the world came to the eastern Spanish town of Bunol. They threw tons of tomatoes    (16)   each other in a yearly food fight. That made the street in red juice. A rocket    (17)   from the town hall was the start of the event for which local government offered 120 tons of tomatoes.

Many people, including many from Britain, France, Germany, Russia and Asia, wore hard hats, glasses or protective plastic sheets.    (18)   protect their things from the sea of red mush (糊状物), shopkeepers    (19)   huge plastic covers on the front of their stores. About 40,000 people took part in the tomato fight this year,    (20)   four times the people of the town.    (21)   amazing!

After the fight lasting about one hour, municipal(市政的) workers and local people used big water pipes to clean the streets which were covered with tomato mush. The joiners went to a nearby river to wash    (22)  .

The tomato fight is held each year on the last Wednesday in August. The start of the event is still not clear although it is    (23)   to have its roots in a food fight between childhood friends    (24)   in Bunol.
