WILD WEATHERMAN

Name: Sam Champion
　　 Hot job: TV Weatherman
　　 Where: ABC-TV, New York City

When you were a child, did you plan to forecast wind, rain, and snow on TV?

I wanted to be a foreign journalist. I took courses in weather science at Eastern               Kentucky University, but I majored in broadcasting news.

How did you finally become a weatherman?

My first job in the early 1980s was at the local TV station in Paducah, Kentucky. I did everything from turning on the lights in the morning to writing and delivering morning news. I put together weather forecasts, and became interested in them.

Back then, how did you forecast weather?

Independent companies collected computer information that showed, for example, how a single weather system might split into snow or snow mixed with rain. The information was often opposite and the job of a weatherman was to study the information and make the best educated guess about the storm.

Has weather forecasting changed much with new technology?

Advanced computers, satellites, and Doppler radar (sound waves used to track storms) have made forecasting more exact. But we still know very little about how weather is shaped. So far, we just have theories.

Any advice for children who'd like to become weather scientists?

To me, weather is the most exciting field in the world. There are still so many more questions about weather than answers. After all, if we can't foresee floods or hurricanes, how safe a society are we? Weather forecasting is wide open for scientists who love to solve puzzling problems. The next generation of meteorologists (weather scientists) will unlock many of Earth's weather secrets. So get a general knowledge of Earth science, and study meteorology in college.

Thanks, Sam.

The bed should be reserved as a place for sleep, but people tend to read an iPad a lot in bed before they go to sleep.

Charles Czeisler, a professor at Harvard Medical School, and his colleagues got a small group of people for an experiment. For five days in a row, the people read either a paper book or an iPad for four hours before sleep. Their sleep patterns were monitored all night. Before and after each trial period, the people took hourly blood tests to paint a day-long picture of just how much melatonin (褪黑激素) was in their blood at any given time.

When subjects read on the iPad as compared to the paper books, they reported feeling less sleepy at night and less active the following morning. People also took longer to fall asleep on the iPad nights, and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion (分泌) was delayed by an hour and a half.

The researchers conclude in today's journal article that given the rise of e-readers and the increasingly widespread use of e-things among children and adolescents, more research into the long-term consequences of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed. Czeisler and colleagues go on, in the research paper, to note：“Reading an iPad in bed may increase cancer risk.”

However, software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of phones and computers according to time of day, and there are also glasses that are made to filter (过滤) short wavelengths. While they seem like a logical solution for the nighttime tech users, it needs more research.

28. In Charles Czeislers experiment, all the subjects were asked to______.

       A. sit in a row and receive the strict tests  

B. have their sleep patterns observed all night

       C. read a paper book and an iPad at the same time

       D. have their blood tested per hour during the trial

29 The third paragraph tells us the iPad readers were likely to____________.

       A. feel less sleepy and tired in the day           B. fall asleep more easily after reading

       C. become less energetic the next morning        D. have a lot more melatonin secretion

30. The special software recently developed can______.

       A. remove the blue light from your devices completely

       B. help prevent eyes being harmed by short wavelength

       C. weaken the harm done by doing nighttime e-reading

       D. be used in all the e-things widely and safely

31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

       A. No e-reading in bed before sleep   B. New software for night e-readers

       C. Wrong behaviors before bedtime   D. No games on iPad in bed

My 16-year-old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole． Most of the kids swim there, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety．
    Still, the firefighter's first words "You need to come up here to the Stillwater River" made me catch my breath, and his follow-up words gave me relief: “ Your son is OK．”
    When I got to the river, I immediately saw the firetruck, ambulance and Anton, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine．
    I hurried over to him． "You OK?"I asked．
   “Yeah,” was all he said． But my eyes begged for an explanation, I didn't get it from my son, however, who tends to play his cards close to his vest．
    The story was this: A woman was being swept under water． Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitation, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore．
    In an age in which the word "hero" is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who makes it through the day, I realized the real thing in my son． The teens are stubborn and self-centered, but that didn't mean they have no desire to do good．
    Still shocked by my son's daring, I drove him home． Along the way, I tried to dig out some more information from him  but he had precious little to say． The only words he said were,“What's for supper?”
    I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been． The next morning, when Anton got up, I half expected him to tell me the story． But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day． Watching from the window, I was reminded that still water often runs deep．

24. Why did the mother allow her son to swim there？

A．He was an excellent swimmer．

B．The water of the river is shallow．

C．The rocks can be of help if there's danger．

D．He was old enough to swim．

25.. The underlined part "who tends to play his cards close to his vest" probably means

A．Anton is unwilling to tell others what he thinks

B．Anton is a boy fond of swimming with other kids

C．Anton always has a desire to help others

D．Anton seldom changes his mind

26. In the mother's eyes, what her son did was

A．dangerous but interesting

B．unexpected and courageous

C．meaningful but difficult

D．awful and absurd

27. What might be the best title for the passage?

A．A Proud Mother  B．Anton, A Silent Boy

C．A Good Deed    D．My Son, My Hero

Tens of thousands of ancient pictures carved into the rocks at one of France’s most important tourist sites are being gradually destroyed. Scientists and researchers fear that the 36,000 drawings on rocks in Mont Bego in the French Alps are being damaged so rapidly that they will not survive for future generations.

The mountain, believed to have once been a site for prayer, is scattered (散布) with 4,000-year-old drawings cut into bare rock. They include pictures of cows with horns, cultivated fields (耕地) and various gods and goddesses. But as the popularity of the site increases, the pictures are being ruined by thoughtless graffiti (涂鸦).

Jean Clottes is the chairman of the International Committee on Rock Art. He says, “People think that because the pictures have been there so long they will always continue to be there. But if the damage continues at this rate there will be nothing left in 50 years.”

He describes seeing tourists stamping on the drawings, wearing away the rock and definition (清晰) of the artwork as they do so. Some visitors, he says, even cut off parts to take home as souvenirs. “When people think they can’t take a good enough photograph, they rub the drawings to get a clearer picture,” he said. “The drawings are polished by the weather, and if the sun is shining and the visitors can’t see them properly they simply rub them to make them look fresher.” Other researchers describe how people arrive carrying long sticks with sharp ends to scratch (刮) their own drawings, or even their names, in the rocks.

But experts are divided over the best way to preserve the drawings. Henry de Lumley, director of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, believes that the only way to save the site is to turn the whole mountain into a “no-go” area, preventing the public from going there except on guided tours. Otherwise, he says, not only will the site be completely destroyed but important research work will be reduced.

Clottes disagrees, “The measure suggested by Henry de Lumley is the most severe, and while it is the most effective, it is also certain to bring about protests from people who live there,” he said. “The site was classified as a historic monument years ago by the Ministry of Culture, and we must do as much as possible to save what is there.”

David Lavergne, the regional architect, also wants to avoid closing the site. “Henry de Lumley’s idea isn’t ideal,” he said. “Our department feels that the best solution is to let people look at the site, but because the area is very big it is difficult to prevent visitors from damaging it. I would prefer that everyone was able to look at it, but the main problem is money. We do not have the funds to employ the necessary number of guards. We may have to consider charging a fee. It doesn’t seem to be possible to get the government support.”

In Nice, Annie Echassoux, who also worked on researching the site, is alarmed that as the mountain becomes easier to reach — tourists can now avoid the three-and-a-half-hour walk by hiring vehicles — the damage will increase rapidly. She thinks that the only solution is to rope off the area and provide guides. “You can’t say the plan can’t go ahead because there is no money,” she said. “That is not good enough. Money must be provided because the Ministry of Culture has classified this area as a historic site. If we don’t take steps, we will be responsible for losing the drawings for the next generation.”

41．Jean Clottes says that people who visit the mountain____.

A. do not believe the drawings are old.       B. believe they are allowed to paint there

C. think the drawings should be left alone    D. think the drawings will not disappear

42．According to Jean Clottes, some of the visitors to the area have____.

A. helped to clean the drawings              B. taken bits of the rock home

C. been unable to take photographs           D. misunderstood what the pictures mean

43．Henry de Lumley is eager to ____.

A. set up research projects                   B. protect public rights

C. keep out individual visitors               D. ban traffic in the area

44．Which word best describes Annie Echassoux’s attitude towards saving the historic site?

A. Supportive.        B. Disappointed.        C. Worried.       D. Hesitant.

45．This passage has been written about Mont Bego to ____.

A. advertise the closing of the site         B. warn visitors about the dangers of the site

C. encourage scientists to visit the site    D. describe fears for the future of the site

Hi, Worried,

    I’m sorry to know that you’re having such a bad time at the moment.

                                                                       Li Hua

Worrying problems are everywhere in our daily life. How to solve them? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to deal with different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis. The three steps are:

 Get the facts

Why is it so important to get the facts? Unless you have the facts, you can’t possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently. Without the facts, all you can do is wondering around in confusion. It is not an easy job to get facts.

When you are worried, your emotions are riding high.    36    . When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person.     37     You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree. Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case. You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.

        38   

    Whenever you are worried, write down the questions that make you worry. And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step. For example, what am I worrying about? What can I do about it? Here is what I’m going to do about it. After carefully weighing all the facts, you can calmly come to a decision.

Act on that decision.

    39     How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you? Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry.    40     If you know a situation is beyond your power, say to yourself: “ It is so; it can’t be otherwise.”  Don’t permit little things to ruin your happiness. Try to cultivate a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness.

A. Analyze the facts.

B. But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way.

C. Unless you take your action, all your face-finding and analysis is a sheer waste of energy.

D. This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence.

E. Accept what can’t be avoided.

F. Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.

G. There comes a time when you must decide and never look back.

Chinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against Malaria（疟疾）. This is the first Nobel Prize given to a Chinese scientist for work carried out within China. 

    Tu shared the prize with Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan, who were honored for their revolutionary anti-roundworm treatment. 84-year-old Tu is awarded this prize for her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria, reducing patients’ suffering and promoting mankind’s health. Although she received several medical awards in the past, the 2015 Nobel Prize is definitely the most privilege reward that recognizes Tu’s dedication and perseverance in discovering artemisinin（青蒿素）, the key drug that battles malaria-friendly parasites（寄生虫）.

    However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditional. She won the Nobel Prize for medicine, but she doesn’t have a medical degree or a PhD. In China, she is even being called the “three-noes” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseas. No wonder her success has stirred China’s national pride and helped promote confidence of native Chinese scientists.

    The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds reminds us that science should be more accessible to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one dives into scientific research. There have been discussions on people who really love science but are never able to achieve much during their whole life. Their contributions can never be ignored. They work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researchers will be closer to the right one.

    As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu’s record-breaking winning also serves as a reminder to those who are too eager for instant success. Science is never about instant success. Tu spent decades on scientific research before its value is officially acknowledged. There is no way to measure how much one devotes to science and compare it with how much reward he or she may get.

1. It can be concluded from the text that __________.

  A. Tu worked home and abroad to conduct her research

B. Tu got the Nobel Prize for her anti-roundworm treatment

   C. The Nobel Prize is the first award to recognize her work

   D. Her discovery of artemisinin has helped to cut Malaria death rate

2. The author seems to agree that a person who is more likely to become a scientist is the one with__________.

  A. a sense of national pride                B. relevant academic knowledge

  C. a desire to achieve success                     D. enthusiasm for scientific research

3. In writing the passage, the author intends to ___________.

  A. inform readers of the news and make comments

B. discourage the pursuit of instant success in science

C. remind readers of the principles of scientific research

D. praise the award winner and encourage scientific research

 It is possible that there is a fire in a forest, _______ ,of course, should set alarm bell ringing.

     A. where　　　            B. that　　　             C. what　　　             D. which

 — What a mess! You are always so lazy!

—I’m not to blame, mum. I am ______ you have made me.

A. how                  B. what

C. that                 D. who
