During recent years，floods and flash floods have caused billions of dollars in damage. They are a-
mong the most common and widespread of all natural disasters. Even more importantly，they’re the No. 1
weather一related killer. A flood can happen anywhere along th e Mississippi，in New England，even in the
desert.
The following are some fascinating facts about floods and flash floods.
A flood（commonly called a river flood is the high flo'Iw of water from a river of similar body of wa-
ter，happening over a period of time too long to be considered a flash flood. Flooding is caused in many
ways. Winter or spring rains，together with melting snows，can fill rivers too quickly. Heavy rains from
hurricanes or other tropical（热带的）systems can also produce river flooding. The Mississippi River Flood of 1993 was caused by repeated heavy rain from thunderstorms over a period of weeks.
Flash floods are quickly一rising floods which are usually the result of heavy rains over a short period
of time，often only several hours or even less. They can also be caused by ice jams（冰塞）on rivers re-
lated to a winter or spring melting，or sometimes even a dam break. The constant influx（汇集）of water
finally causes a great overflow to begin，powerful enough to sweep vehicles away，roll big stones into
roadways，uproot trees，level buildings，and knock bridge down. The speed of the rising of water is the
most frightening thing.
Remember：Move to higher ground and stay away from low areas during heavy rain. Stay out of floo-
ded areas. Never allow children to play or walk in flowing water. Never drive your car into water of on-
known depths.
21. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Facts about floods
B. Damage of floods
C. When floods happen
D. Power of floods
22. The last paragraph is mainly about
A. flood safety tips
B. warnings for floods
C. waste water systems
D. causes of floods
23. Which of the following statements is NOT the reason for the happening of flash floods?
A. Heavy rains
B. Ground water rising
C. Dam breaks
D. Ice jams
24. According to the passage，people are most afraid of during flash floods.
A. the constant influx of water
B. the sudden happening of flash floods
C. the quick rising water
D. the great damage of flash floods
25. We can learn from the passage that
A. flash floods are a kind of river flood
B. a river flood can be a flash flood
C. flash floods are different from river floods
D. prevention measures are different for floods and flash floods.

A new term might be the best time to make new friends，but it can be hard to get through the first
conversation. 26 As The Huffington Post put it，there are many“ways to change small talk into meaningf ul moment between two people”Below are four useful tips.
Search for common interests.
Try to talk about shared interests，such as sports，favorite music and popular talent shows.
27
Find common interests with the people with whom you communicate by using the right information about y ourself
Welcome the silence.
No one likes an embarrassing stop，but most silent moments between topics aren’ t as long as you
think they are. 28 Remember that if you say something，the other person may need time to under- stand it Think of silence as a time of change.
29
Conversations are just as much about an exchange of energy as an exchange of information， To make
great small talk，you should keep things fun. You should be cheerful and positively laugh over things that
aren’t very interesting. Those qualities will make the other person want to keep talking to you.
Take it as a learning experience.
Every time you meet someone from other places，it’s a good chance to learn something. People from
other places，including countries other than your own，can give you new points of view. 30
A. You can learn more about their cultures and nations，making you a more interesting person to talk to as well.
B. People are usually unwilling to be the first to start a conversation.
C. Keep it positive.
D. In fact，sometimes stops are needed in order to continue a conversation.
E. It proves to be the easiest way to make a connection with someone.
G. Always make things fun and welcome interesting things.
