These awful sudden risings of the sea are caused by earthquakes or underwater volcanic action. The story of the boy Yuuki is the story of such a disaster.Yuuki lived with his family in a sea-side village, below a small mountain. One day, as he played on top of the mountain, he felt an earthquake beneath his feet. It was not strong enough to frighten anybody and passed quickly. Soon after, however, Yuuki noticed the sea darken and begin running away from the shore very fast, leaving behind wide stretches of beach that had never been exposed before.With a gasp, Yuuki remembered reading that just before a terrible tsunami, the sea suddenly and quickly rolls backward. He ran to the beach, warning the villagers who had gather to admire the huge new stretch of beach.“Get back!” shouted the boy. “There is terrible danger!”But no one listened. They laughed at him and continued playing in the new sand and watching the sea roll backward even more.Desperate, Yuuki could think of only one thing to do. He lit a tree branch, raced to the rice fields and began burning the stacks of harvested rice. Then he called out, “Fire! Fire! Everyone run to the mountain! Now!”When everyone reached the mountain-top, a villager cried out, “Yuuki is mad! I saw him set the fire.” Yuuki hung his head in shame, but said nothing as the villagers cursed him. Just then, someone cried, “Look!”In the distance what seemed to be a huge dark line was speeding towards the shore. As it got nearer the people realized the long thin line of darkness was the returning sea, towering like a mountain.The villagers watched in terror as the water struck the shore, smashing over their homes then tearing out the land as it receded.On the mountain everyone stared speechlessly at the destruction below.“I’m sorry I burned the fields,” said Yuuki, his voice trembling.“Yuuki,” village-chief answered. “You saved us all.”The villagers cheered and raised Yuuki into the air. “We were going to celebrate our rice harvest tonight,” said one, “but now we'll celebrate that we're all still alive!” （）31. Where was Yuuki when the earthquake struck?A. On the beachB. On the mountain.C. In the rice fields.D. At his family home. （）32. In what order do the following events take place?a.

Celebrate the rice harvest.（）35. What’s the meaning of the word “tsunamis” in Chinese?A．地震 B. 飓风 C. 海啸 D.台风BThere was a sign above a store owner’s door that read "Puppies for Sale." Signs like that have a way of attracting small children, and sure enough, a little boy appeared under the sign."How much are you going to sell the puppies for?" he asked.The owner replied, “Anywhere from $30 to $50."The little boy reached in his pocket and pulled out some change. "Can I please look at them?"The man smiled and whistled, then out of the store came a young lady, who ran down followed by five tiny balls of fur. One puppy was far behind. Immediately the little boy chose out the last puppy and said, "What's wrong with that little dog?"The store owner explained that the vet had examined the little puppy and had discovered its right leg was broken. It would always be lame. The boy became excited, "That is the little puppy that I want to buy.""No! If you really want him, I'll just give him to you." said the owner.The boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the owner's eyes and said, "I don't want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth as much as all the other dogs and I'll pay full price. In fact, I can give you $2.30 now and $5 a month until I have him paid for one year"The store owner insisted, "You really don't want to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run and jump and play with you like the other puppies."To this, the little boy reached down and rolled up his left pant leg .That was a badly crippled one which supported by a big metal brace.He looked up at the store owner and softly replied, "Well, I don't run so well myself, and the little puppy will need someone who understands!"（）36. What kind of dog did the boy want?A. He wanted a puppy like a tiny ball of fur.B. He preferred a healthy one to a lame one.C.

At first you might think the answer is as easy as pie. To many people, American food means hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken and pizza. If you have a “sweet tooth”, you might think of apple pies or chocolate cakes. It’s true that Americans do eat those things. But are those the only kind of food you can find in America?Except for Thanksgiving turkey, it’s hard to find a typical “American” food. The United States is a land of immigrants, so Americans eat food from many different countries. When people moved to America, they brought their cooking styles with them. That’s why you can find almost every kind of ethnic food in America. In some ways, Americans have taken foods from other countries as favorites. Americans love Italian pizza, Chinese egg rolls. But the American ones don’t taste quite like the food where it comes from.As any large country, the US has several special regions. Each region is proud of its own special style of food. Visit the South and enjoy country-style cooking. Take a trip to New England and taste delicious seafood dishes. Travel through Midwest for tasty baked food. Travel over Southwest and try good treats. Finish your food tour in Northwest with some wonderful coffee.Americans are living at a fast pace. Fast food restaurants offer people on the run everything from fried chicken to fried rice. Half-done dinners and fast food make cooking at home very easy. One of the most popular quick meals is sandwich. If the meat or cheese can be put between two pieces of bread, Americans probably make a sandwich.Americans on the go also eat a lot of “junk food”. Potato chips, candy bars, soft drinks and so on are popular treats. Many people eat too much of these unhealthy food. But others choose for more healthy eating habits. Some even go “all natural”. They refuse to eat any food prepared with chemicals.American culture is a good example of the saying, “You’re what you eat.” There is different background and ways of thinking. The kind of foods enjoyed in the US shows all kinds of personal tastes. The food may be international and regional. Sometimes it’s fast, and sometimes it’s not so fast. It might be junk food or maybe it’s natural food. No matter what it is, the style is all-American.（）41. The Americans prefer the ethnic food ，because these food _________.

You will see the water swirl quickly down the drain. The water will spin fast enough to create a whirlpool. That is similar to how black holes work.How Do Black Holes Work Black holes use the power of gravity. For example, the pull of the Earth's gravity keeps us on the ground. We would float off into space if there were no gravity.Now imagine this: The pull of a black hole is many times more powerful than the pull of the sun. It is powerful that even light cannot escape its pull. That is why it is called a black hole.How Do Black Holes Form?Black holes are formed when giant stars die. Young stars burn gases that give off heat. Finally stars get old and run out gas and heat. When this happens, they shrink. As they get smaller and smaller, the pull of their gravity grows stronger and stronger. In time they get so small they cannot be seen. How Do We Know Black Holes Are There?Scientists first predicted the existence of black holes more than 200 years ago. However, they did not have any way to prove their idea.In 1990, the United States sent a special craft to orbit the Earth. They couldn't see a black holedirectly, however, they could see circling gases in outer space. The circling gases looked like the whirlpool that water makes when it rushes down a bathtub drain. These whirlpools proved that black holes really exist. （）46. What do black holes use to pull things in?A. Whirlpools.B. Wind.C. Gravity.D.
