15、People sometimes say, “It’s raining cats and dogs!” when there is a heavy rain. Nobody has ever really seen cats an d dogs falling from the sky, but there have been many reports of other strange things “raining” down. In 156, the people of a town in the USA saw a small black cloud in the sky. It started to rain from the cloud normally, but only in a small area. The cloud then turned white, and fish started to fall to the ground. Most of them were still alive.
During a storm in July 1901 in Minneapolis, people heard something falling from the sky that did not sound like rain. When they went outside, they found all kinds of frogs covering four streets.
There are other reports of strange “rains” falling from the sky including worms (蠕虫), insects and snakes.
Can these strange “rains” be explained by science? Scientists usually say that a tornado(龙卷风)has picked up the animals from a river or ocean, carried them for miles, and then dropped them somewhere else. But this does not completely explain all of them. On May 15th, 1890, in Italy, there was a rain of blood —birds’ blood. Scientists said that flying birds must have been torn to pieces by strong winds. But if so, why did only their blood fall from the sky, and not other parts of their bodies? And anyway, there were no strong winds that day!
1．What does it mean when people say, “It’s raining cats and dogs”?
A．Cats and dogs are falling from the sky. B．It’s raining heavily.
C．Animals started to fall to the ground. D．There is a black cloud.

A．Cats and dogs. B．Worms and insects.

A．the tornado picked up the birds’ blood
B．flying birds were torn into pieces by strong winds

16、A wise man was visiting a village with his students. He found a group of family members shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his students and asked: “Why do people shout in anger at each other?”
His students thought for a while, and one of them said: “Because when we lose our calm, we shout.”
“But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can just as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner,” said the wise man.
Students gave some other answers but none were any good.
“When two people are angry at each other, their hearts become distanced,” the wise man explained. “To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to hear each other and cover that great distance.”
The wise man then gave an example: “What happens when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly because their hearts are very close. When they love each other even more, what happens? They don’t need to talk. They only look at each other and that’s all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.”
He looked at his students and said: “So when you argue, do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance you from others. Otherwise, there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.”
1．What did they find when a wise man and his students were visiting a village?

man?

C．They are far away from each other. D．Their hearts become distanced.

according to the passage?
A．They talk more. B．They shout at each other.

17、What do you think are the most important inventions of the past 2,000 years? The TV? The printing? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that these are not the only important inventions. Here are four other important ones. Paper is one of the most important inventions. You can’t have printin g without paper. In 105 AD, Cai Lun invented paper in China. Long before the printing and Internet, Cai Lun’s invention allowed us to write down information, stories and history.
One of the simplest(最简单) inventions to save life is the toilet. Before toilets, waste ran into the rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common(普通的) in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.
Animal food is another invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in the winter. After hay(干草) became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.
Reading glasses is the fourth invention. People start getting far-sighted (远视) from the age of 45. Glasses mean that
anyon e can read, write and do “close work” after that age. Without glasses, the world would be difficult for the people above 45.

19、Last Saturday, I took Peter, a student from America, to experience some Chine cultures. Everything he experienced that day is a great attraction to him.
In the morning, Peter and I went to visit a tea museum, where he learnt a lot about Chinese tea. After that, I took him home and taught him to make zongzi. Although it was a bit difficult, he still enjoyed it. In the afternoon, we had a Chinese class, learning the history of Chinese characters. He also tried to write some characters with a Chinese brush, and even lost himself in it.
Peter kept saying “Amazing!” all the way, which makes me really proud of our rich cultures.。
