Maybe you know floods, droughts, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have ever heard of typhoons（台风）?
Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September.
How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates(蒸发) into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then, cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles(圆圈), and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second, a typhoon begins.
A typhoon has two parts, One is called the “eye”. In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. This is where the strongest with and hardest rains are.
Typhoons are very dangerous. Once, the typhoon killed 6100 people in Philippines(菲律宾).More people went missing.
What to do when a typhoon hits:
l Stay inside, Close all the windows and stay away from them.
l Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!
l Listen to the radio or TV for important information.
（ ）54.Typhoons often happen ________.
A．in the hot season B．in the cold season
C．only in China D．under the sea
（ ）55.When a typhoon comes, we cannot ________.
A. close all the windows B. listen to typhoon news
C. stay inside the strong house D. go outside at once
（ ）56.This passage is most probably from ________.
A. an advertisement B. a travel record
C. a weather report D. a science magazine

For some students, getting better grades can seem like an impossible task sometimes. With the challenges(挑战) of school, just paying attention in class or studying hard isn’t always enough. But what if there were other ways for students to improve their grades? For parents and students who have ever wondered if this is possible, now you can rest easy. Research suggests that a person who likes doing activities can improve their grades.
Scientists think that those students who are active are not just exercising their bodies, but also exercising their brains(大脑). In turn, they can be able to improve their grades at school.
In the most recent study, researchers found that when children played for half an hour each day, they were better at organizing(组织) their schoolwork as well as doing project work and learning traditionally “difficult” subjects, such as maths.
What does this mean for children who aren’t active? Researchers think that if kids don’t get enough activities, they are going to be at a disadvantage when it comes to school performance.
In the research experiment, a group of children skipped with ropes(跳绳), played basketball and did a number of other games or exercises. Another group of children didn’t do any activities. They took part in testing both before experiment and after the experiment. Testing was mainly for maths and reading skills. Results showed that the children in the activity group did better on the tests than those who had no activity.
All work and no play will not only make Jack a dull(迟钝的) boy, but will also negatively(消极地) affect his grades in school, according to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics.
Parents complain(抱怨) children today are actually less active and they always worry about their grades. Dr. Belton, an expert, said, “If you’d like to see your kids do better in school, have them close their books, set down their pencils and go outside to play.”
（ ）57.What does the underlined words “rest easy” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Stop worrying. B. Keep working.
C. Continue learning. D. Study hard.
（ ）58.In Paragraph 5, what does the research experiment want to show us?
A. Doing activities is bad for the students.
B. Doing more homework can get better marks.
C. The children in the activity group did better on the tests.
D. Children who didn’t do any activities did better on the tests.
（ ）59.To help children get better grades, parents should _____.
A. ask the researchers for help B. help them to organize their schoolwork
C. encourage them to do more activities D. let them solve problems by themselves
（ ）60.What is the best title of the passage?
A. Studying hard. B. Taking part in testing.
C. Doing activities is interesting. D. Being active is helpful for better grades.
D
"Well, I’ll eat the cake,"Alice said."If I get taller,I can reach the key on the table.And if I get smaller,I can go under the door into the garden."Then she finished the cake very soon.
"I shall be as tall as a house in a minute,"she said.She tried to look down at her feet.And could only just see them.
Just then her head hit the ceiling（天花板）of the room. She was now about three metres tall.Quickly，she took the key from the table and hurried to the garden door. But she was too tall to go through the door. She began to cry. The tears ran down her face,and soon there was a large pool of salt water all around her on the floor. Suddenly, she heard a voice, and she stopped crying to listen.
"Oh，the Duchess（公爵夫人）， the Duchess! She'll be very angry! I'm late，and she's waiting for me，Oh dear，oh dear!"
It was the White Rabbit again.He was hurrying down the long room, with a pair of white gloves in one hand and a fan in the other hand.
Alice was afraid, but she needed help.So she said in a low voice,"Oh, please, sir—"
Her voice frightened（使惊恐）the Rabbit He dropped the gloves and the fan，and ran away quickly. Alice picked up the gloves and the fan.The room was very hot,so she cooled down with the fan.She said, "Oh dear! How strange everything is today! Shall l get smaller during the night?"
She began to feel very unhappy again, but then she looked down at her hand. She was wearing one of the Rabbit's white gloves. "How did I get it on my hand?"She thought."Oh, I'm getting smaller again!I'm already less than a metre all.And getting smaller every second! How can I stop it?"She saw the fan in her other hand. "It must be the fan!""she thought,and quickly she dropped it.
She was now very, very small,and the key was still lying on the table.
"Things are worse than ever," thought poor Alice. She turned away from the door, and fell into salt water, right up to her neck.At first she thought it was the sea,but then she saw it was the pool of her own tears.
"Oh, why did I cry so much?" said Alice.She swam around and looked for a way out, but the pool was very big.Just then she saw an animal in the water near her.It looked like a large animal to Alice, but it was only a mouse.
"Shall speak to it?"thought Alice."Everything is very strange here,so perhaps a mouse can speak."Then she began,"Oh, Mouse,do you know the way out of this pool?I am very tired of swimming."But the mouse looked at her with its little eyes and said nothing.
"Perhaps it doesn't understand English,"thought Alice."Perhaps it's a French mouse." So she began again, and said in French,"Where is my cat?"(This was the first sentence in her French book.)
The mouse jumped half out of the water and looked at her angrily.
"Oh, I'm sorry!? cried Alice quickly."Of course,you don’t like cats, do you?"?"No.I don' like cats,"the mouse replied.

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active，and have hobbies. 69 Many people go dancing or play sports, such as skating or playing soccer. You can only think about the activity at that moment.
Finally，many people find happiness in helping others．Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others． 70 You can help a friend with his or her studies，go shopping to buy food for an elderly person，or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes．

Maybe you know floods, droughts, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have ever heard of typhoons（台风）?
Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September.
How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates(蒸发) into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then, cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles(圆圈), and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second, a typhoon begins.
A typhoon has two parts, One is called the “eye”. In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. This is where the strongest with and hardest rains are.
Typhoons are very dangerous. Once, the typhoon killed 6100 people in Philippines(菲律宾).More people went missing.
What to do when a typhoon hits:

For some students, getting better grades can seem like an impossible task sometimes. With the challenges(挑战) of school, just paying attention in class or studying hard isn’t always enough. But what if there were other ways for students to improve their grades? For parents and students who have ever wondered if this is possible, now you can rest easy. Research suggests that a person who likes doing activities can improve their grades.
Scientists think that those students who are active are not just exercising their bodies, but also exercising their brains(大脑). In turn, they can be able to improve their grades at school.
In the most recent study, researchers found that when children played for half an hour each day, they were better at organizing(组织) their schoolwork as well as doing project work and learning traditionally “difficult” subjects, such as maths.
What does this mean for children who aren’t active? Researchers think that if kids don’t get enough activities, they are going to be at a disadvantage when it comes to school performance.
In the research experiment, a group of children skipped with ropes(跳绳), played basketball and did a number of other games or exercises. Another group of children didn’t do any activities. They took part in testing both before experiment and after the experiment. Testing was mainly for maths and reading skills. Results showed that the children in the activity group did better on the tests than those who had no activity.
All work and no play will not only make Jack a dull(迟钝的) boy, but will also negatively(消极地) affect his grades in school, according to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics.
Parents complain(抱怨) children today are actually less active and they always worry about their grades. Dr. Belton, an expert, said, “If you’d like to see your kids do better in school, have them close their books, set down their pencils and go outside to play.”
（ ）57.What does the underlined words “rest easy” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Stop worrying. B. Keep working.
C. Continue learning. D. Study hard.
（ ）58.In Paragraph 5, what does the research experiment want to show us?
A. Doing activities is bad for the students.
B. Doing more homework can get better marks.
C. The children in the activity group did better on the tests.
D. Children who didn’t do any activities did better on the tests.
（ ）59.To help children get better grades, parents should _____.
A. ask the researchers for help B. help them to organize their schoolwork
C. encourage them to do more activities D. let them solve problems by themselves
（ ）60.What is the best title of the passage?
A. Studying hard. B. Taking part in testing.
C. Doing activities is interesting. D. Being active is helpful for better grades.

"Well, I’ll eat the cake,"Alice said."If I get taller,I can reach the key on the table.And if I get smaller,I can go under the door into the garden."Then she finished the cake very soon.
"I shall be as tall as a house in a minute,"she said.She tried to look down at her feet.And could only just see them.
Just then her head hit the ceiling（天花板）of the room. She was now about three metres tall.Quickly，she took the key from the table and hurried to the garden door. But she was too tall to go through the door. She began to cry. The tears ran down her face,and soon there was a large pool of salt water all around her on the floor. Suddenly, she heard a voice, and she stopped crying to listen.
"Oh，the Duchess（公爵夫人）， the Duchess! She'll be very angry! I'm late，and she's waiting for me，Oh dear，oh dear!"
It was the White Rabbit again.He was hurrying down the long room, with a pair of white gloves in one hand and a fan in the other hand.
Alice was afraid, but she needed help.So she said in a low voice,"Oh, please, sir—"
Her voice frightened（使惊恐）the Rabbit He dropped the gloves and the fan，and ran away quickly. Alice picked up the gloves and the fan.The room was very hot,so she cooled down with the fan.She said, "Oh dear! How strange everything is today! Shall l get smaller during the night?"
She began to feel very unhappy again, but then she looked down at her hand. She was wearing one of the Rabbit's white gloves. "How did I get it on my hand?"She thought."Oh, I'm getting smaller again!I'm already less than a metre all.And getting smaller every second! How can I stop it?"She saw the fan in her other hand. "It must be the fan!""she thought,and quickly she dropped it.
She was now very, very small,and the key was still lying on the table.
"Things are worse than ever," thought poor Alice. She turned away from the door, and fell into salt water, right up to her neck.At first she thought it was the sea,but then she saw it was the pool of her own tears.
"Oh, why did I cry so much?" said Alice.She swam around and looked for a way out, but the pool was very big.Just then she saw an animal in the water near her.It looked like a large animal to Alice, but it was only a mouse.
"Shall speak to it?"thought Alice."Everything is very strange here,so perhaps a mouse can speak."Then she began,"Oh, Mouse,do you know the way out of this pool?I am very tired of swimming."But the mouse looked at her with its little eyes and said nothing.
"Perhaps it doesn't understand English,"thought Alice."Perhaps it's a French mouse." So she began again, and said in French,"Where is my cat?"(This was the first sentence in her French book.)
The mouse jumped half out of the water and looked at her angrily.
"Oh, I'm sorry!? cried Alice quickly."Of course,you don’t like cats, do you?"?"No.I don' like cats,"the mouse replied.
