    Typhoons（台风）in the northern part of the world have girls’ names. Sometimes they have very beautiful names. Rose is a pretty name but there was nothing pretty about Typhoon Rose. It was the worst typhoon to hit Hong Kong in more than thirty years.

It began to rain early on the morning of Monday, August 16th, 1971. At ten o’clock in the morning, Typhoon Rose was still 130 miles away but already the wind was blowing people’s umbrellas away. The wind became stronger and stronger. The typhoon shelters（避风港）were soon full of boats. Ships that were too big to go inside the shelters put down more anchors（锚）. Some very big ships went out to sea. It is safer for a big ship to be at sea in a typhoon because then it cannot be blown onto rocks. Kai Tak Airport closed. No planes were able to take off or land. At 9:00 in the evening, all lights went out.

No one slept well that night. It is difficult to sleep in such bad weather.

In Typhoon Rose, more than one hundred people died. 229 people were injured（受伤）and 66 of these had to go to hospital. 1,500 people lost their homes. The people of Hong Kong will no quickly forget Typhoon Rose!

    Dolphins are clever. It seems that they can think and learn things quickly. Studies show that dolphins and humans have something in common（共同的）. Let’s have a look.

Like humans, every dolphin has its “name”. The name is a special（特别的）whistle（口哨）. Each dolphin chooses a different whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Dolphins are like humans in other ways, too. They use sound and body language to “talk” with each other about a lot of things-such as their age, their feelings and finding food.

Dolphins live in groups. And they often join others from different groups to play games and have fun, just like humans. Playing together is something only clever animals can do.

Dolphins and humans are similar（相似的）in another way. Both of them make plans to get things they want. In the water of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use a smart way to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins signal to the fishermen to put their nets（网）in the water. In this way, the fishermen can get a lot of fish. Why do dolphins help the fishermen? That’s because they can eat some of the fish that run away from the net.

A．Lazy. B．Exciting. C．Clever. D．Boring.

38．Why do dolphins join others from different groups?

A．To learn to “talk”. B．To meet their families.

C．To play games. D．To find food.

39．According to the fourth paragraph, what does the word “signal” mean in Chinese?

A．呼叫 B．发信号 C．阻止 D．发现
