Hello，my name is Sabrina. I was around lightning while taking a hike in the Grand Canyon，but I was safe because I knew the following trips。

You can also go into a nearby building or a car. Make
sure that the windows of it are closed.
Do not stand under a tree or use the umbrella with metal things.
If the lightning is around you，do a “lightning couch”！Squat down （蹲下）with your heels（脚后跟) together and put your hands over your ears。

Remember not to lie down.
Indoors
During a thunderstorm，stay away from anything that is made of metal such as TVs, fridge because lightning can come into the house through wires(电线）。

When there is a thunderstorm outside, don't stand near the windows。

And don’t take a bath when there is a thunderstorm.

More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise。

4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!
Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighborhood。

You may discover something new all around you。

Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can bike to work and benefit(受益）from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment. You don’t even have to ride all the way。

Folding （折叠) bikes works well for people who ride the train。

Just fold the bike and take it with you。

You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase。

You can also take a common bike with you when you fly。

But be sure to look for information by getting on airline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle—friendly to travelers.

Bicycling helps to control your weight。

A 15-minute bike ride to and from work three times a week burns off five kilos of fat in a year。

Buying new clothes isn’t an easy matter for everyone, here are some tips（建议) for you 。

When you want to go shopping，decide how much
money you can spend on new clothes。

Think about the kind of clothes you really need。

Then look for those clothes you really need。

Then look for those clothes on sale。

There are labels(标签）inside all new clothes。

The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes. The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash in cold water。

The label on a coat may say “dry clean only", for washing may ruin this coat. If you do as the directions（说明）on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best for a long time.
Many clothes today must be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive。

When buying new clothes，check to see if they will need to be dry cleaned。

You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed. You can save money if you buy clothes that are well—made。

Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times。

Clothes that cost more money are not necessarily better made. They do not always fit better. Sometimes less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes。

There is an English saying，“Laughter is best medicine.”Until recently, few people took the saying seriously。

Now, however，doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health。

Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart，blood pressure，breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise。

It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing；it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach，and even the feet。

If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial。

Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs。

The group that tolerated（忍耐)the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny program。

The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.
As a result of these discoveries，some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics，in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh。

They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
32。

Doctors have proved the following except that .
A。

smiling does good to health B. laughter can be tolerated C. there is a way to reduce pain D。

laughter can work the muscles in the feet
33. The main idea of the passage is 。

A。

laughter and physical exercises have similar effects on the human body
B。

smile can produce the same effects as laughter
C. pain can be reduced by laughter
D。

laughter is the best medicine
34。

The students who tolerated the pain for the longest time.
A。

listened to different radio programs B. could produce a kind of chemical
C。

don’t have stress of pain D。

listened to a funny program
35. The underlined word “diminish” is similar to .
A. test B。

stop
C。

reduce D。

increase

Today our school invited Mr。

Horton，a foreign teacher working in a college in our city to give a class to the students of Senior Grade Two. This class was very interesting。

I have learned a lot from the foreign teacher。

Mr. Horton had a free talk with us in easy English。

He spoke slowly so that we could understand him well。

Sometimes he repeated what we didn’t understand。

My classmates were all active in his class。

To my joy, I understood almost everything Mr。

Horton said。

And I was able to ask questions in English, too.
This class encouraged me very much. I’m sure if we keep on practicing，it will not be so difficult for us to learn English well.。
