Neither does anyone know the impact it can have on life. The following measures can save your life in an emergency.TyphoonTyphoons occur in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, particularly in exposed regions like the Caroline Islands, the Philippines, and Japan. The best place to hide during a typhoon is a secure basement or a bathroom with no windows.A must-have device is a battery-powered weather radio, through which you will hear evacuation orders or in other cases, instructions on how to survive in your shelter and learn about the weather situation.FloodFloods occur more often than any other natural disaster and change the landscape dramatically. They are usually caused by intense rainfalls lasting for days. Don’t try to be the bravest person around and stay in your house. Once you hear the evacuation warning, leave for safer higher grounds with your important papers in a waterproof container.AvalancheAn avalanche can hit when you are enjoying Alpine skiing in a dreamlike location. It is very fast and disastrous, burying everything in its way under tons of snow. When an avalanche starts, try to move to the side of the slope as fast as you can. If you get buried in the snow, dig an air pocket to be able to keep breathing. Wait for the rescue team to find you and don’t waste your energy shouting or digging frantically. Call out when you hear the team approaching.WildfireWildfires spread at an amazing speed and destroy everything in their way. If you are caught in a wild fire, use a wet cloth to cover your nose and mouth to ensure that you can breathe. Try to stay upwind of the fire at all times and get close to a pond or river. Stay low and cover yourself with wet clothing, a blanket, or soil until the fire passes. 44．Among the four natural disasters, which one requires people to hide indoors?A．Typhoon.B．Flood.C．Avalanche.D．Wildfire.45．What should those trapped in typhoons probably do when they hear the evacuation orders?A．Get to a basement or windowless bathroom.B．Find something solid to hide under.C．Leave the place where they are.D．Get a torch in case of a blackout.46．What do we know from the text?A．Typhoons occur only in the exposed regions in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.B．Floods cause the most frequent damage among the disasters mentioned.C．Those who meet with avalanches are advised to call out the minute they’re trapped.D．Getting clean air matters most in the case of wildfires, despite the difficulty.B（2023·高一课时练习）If the crust（外壳）of the earth were not pretty solid（坚固的）, it would be shaking and moving up and down frequently. However, there are places in the rocks of the earth’s crust where it isn’t strongly held together—where faults exist. Along the faults, one rock might push against another with great force. The energy is changed to vibration in the rocks, so they begin to shake and we have an earthquake!The most famous one in North America was the Sin Francisco earthquake of 1906. Seven hundred people died and property（财产）damage amounted to about $425,000,000. The greatest destruction came from the fires that followed the quake.One of the most famous earthquakes in Europe took place in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1755. The city was destroyed and at least thirty thousand people were killed. In 1908, in Calabria and Sicily, a quake killed about seventy-five thousand people. In 1915, in central Italy, hundreds of towns and villages were damaged and thirty thousand people were killed.Two great earthquakes that caused great damage in Asia took place in Tokyo, Japan, and in Gansu Province in China. The Tokyo quake of 1923 killed more than one hundred thousand people and destroyed the city and the city of Yokohama, too. The Chinese quake in 1920 covered more than three hundred square miles and killed about two hundred thousand people.47．The first paragraph mainly tells us_____________.A．where earthquakes happen B．the damage caused by earthquakesC．how earthquakes happen D．famous earthquakes in the world48．The underlined word “vibration” in the first paragraph probably means “_________”.A．force B．shaking C．energy.D．losing49．Which of the following is the correct order of the years when the earthquakes happened?①the San Francisco earthquake①the earthquake in Lisbon, Portugal①the earthquake in Calabria and Sicily①the earthquake in central Italy①the earthquake in Gansu Province①the Tokyo quakeA．①①①①①①B．①①①①①①C．①①①①①①D．①①①①①①50．We can infer from the passage that___________.A．the fires following the San Francisco earthquake caused more damage than the earthquake didB．the earth’s crust in Europe is weaker than that in other placesC．there were 75,000 people killed in the San Francisco earthquakeD．the city of Yokohama was not greatly influenced by the Tokyo quakeC（2023秋·新疆昌吉·高一新疆昌吉回族自治州第二中学校考期末）On the day the tornado hit, there was no sign that the fierce weather was on its way —the sky was blue and the sun had been out. The first warning my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p.m., from some text on the TV Jimmy was watching. He ran upstairs to find me in our third-floor bedroom, and we changed the channel from the national television to our local Pensacola, Florida, station.Soon the tornado was on top of us. It was the loudest thing I had ever heard. The house shook, and the power went out. And the wind began to roar (咆哮) through the house, most likely through windows and the door to our garage. Everything was moving. And the back wall of the house came off and flew into the darkness outside. We had three flights of steps to get to the storeroom down there, the relative safety of the first floor.I didn't know how or if we would make it down the steps. It felt as if there was no floor as the wind lifted me off my feet. As we finally reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew open. Suddenly, a three-foot-long tree branch (树枝) flew over our heads, missing us by inches.By the time I reached the storeroom, the tornado had been over us for about a minute, Jimmy pushed me down to the storeroom floor, but he couldn't get inside himself because of the wind. I held Jimmy's arm as the tornado blew the door open. My knees were full of glass, but I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out of the house.All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn't believe it was over. Our neighbor said the storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Luckily, none of us were seriously injured.51．Where did the couple learn about the coming fierce weather?A．From the dark sky.B．From the radio station.C．From the news report on TV.D．From the text sent by their neighbors.52．What can we infer from Paragraph 2 about the couple?A．They had no place to hide.B．They tried to get out of the house.C．Their garage was blown into pieces.D．Their house was badly destroyed.53．What do we know about Jimmy when the author reached the storeroom?A．He was in great danger.B．He flew out of the house.C．He was seriously injured.D．He got inside the storeroom.54．What is the best title of this text?A．The tornado hitting FloridaB．A couple stopping a disasterC．The wind roaring through the houseD．A couple keeping alive from a disasterD（2020秋·高一课时练习）TUV ALU,a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean,has asked for help as it fears it will be swallowed up by the sea.Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu’s nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level.Salt water is already entering the country’s drinking water supply,as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetables.Without urgent help,the country’s days are numbered.But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea.Venice,a historic city in Italy best known for its canals,has sunk about 24cm over the past 100 years.Experts say that it will have sunk another 20～50cm by 2050.A century ago,St.Mark’s Square,the lowest point in the city,flooded about nine times a year.Nowadays,it happens more than 100 times.While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands,Tuvalu’s rising sea level is caused by global warming.The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degree over the past century,scientists expect it to rise by an extra 1～3 degrees over the next 100 years.Warmer weather makes glaciers(冰川)melt,adding more water to the ocean.The warmer temperatures also make water expand,so it takes up more space,causing the sea level to rise.The sea level has risen about 10～25cm in the last 100 years.The main cause of global warming is human pollution.Through burning coal,oil and gas,people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere,such as CO2.This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect,making the planet even warmer.Many scientists believe that,if the warming is not stopped,there will be huge climate changes.The sea level could rise by one meter this century.Should this come true,the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with“climate refugees”looking for somewhere to live.55．We can infer from the first paragraph that.A．Tuvalu is in danger of moving slowly downwards into the seaB．all Tuvalu’s islands are about five meters above the sea levelC．drinking water in Tuvalu will be destroyedD．Tuvalu is often flooded by storms and waves56．Put the following events in the right order.a.Glaciers begin to melt.b.People burn coal,oil and gas.c.The greenhouse effect is growing.d.The earth is getting warmer and warmer.e.The sea level is rising.f.More CO2is produced.g.Many places are sinking into the sea.A．d,f,b,c,a,e,g B．b,f,c,d,e,a,gC．f,c,b,d,a,e,g D．b,f,c,d,a,e,g57．What does“climate refugees”mean?A．People who are forced away from their homeland by climate.B．Climate changes.C．Rare animals.D．Climate effect.58．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．Tuvalu’s nine little islands are less than five meters above the sea level.B．The average global temperature has risen by 1―3 centigrade degrees over the past 100 years.C．the warmer temperature causes the sea level to rise.D．There will be huge climate changes unless the warming is stopped.六、完形填空（2022秋·广东广州·高一校考阶段练习）I had suddenly run out of oil paints just when I needed them.

高考英语一轮总复习必修第一册Unit4NaturalDisasters提能训练(含答案及范文)
高考英语一轮总复习必修第一册提能训练：Unit 4 Natural DisastersⅠ.阅读理解A(2024·浙江1月高考题) On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letti ng the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail，” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weath er Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought，” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas，” Dr. Doswell says. “Doe s cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.语篇导读：本文是一篇说明文。

The fights didn’t start until they were both 10 years old.“Mom, Billy won’t give my book back!”“It’s not yours. It’s mine!”And so it went. Our peaceful house had turned into a war zone (战区). But we found a solution.We talked to the kids and discussed what would happen if they argued again. We came up with a list of “punishments (惩罚)” that we would give them if they fought. But they weren’t really punishments — just nice things that we would ask them to do for each other. For example, if Jane started a fight, we would ask her to clean Billy’s room. If Billy started a fight, we would ask him to give Jane a hug.We wrote these “punishments” on a circular board (圆形板子) with an arrow in the middle. If one of them started a fight, he/she would have to spin (转动) the board and receive the “punishment”.This “punishment wheel” worked wonders (取得惊人成效). Soon the kids stopped arguing so often. We didn’t have to really punish them — we just had to teach them to be nice to each other. 16．What does the underlined word “peaceful” mean?A．Quiet.B．Noisy.C．Comfortable.D．Exciting.17．What did the author do when her kids fought?A．She asked them to run outside.B．She asked them to say sorry to each other.C．She asked them to spin the “punishment wheel”.D．She helped the younger child argue with the older child.18．Why did the author use quotation marks (引号) for the word “punishments”?A．She wanted to show the importance of the word.B．She wanted to show that the “punishments” were not real punishments.C．She wanted the readers to guess the meaning of the word.D．She was not sure if the word is correct.19．With the “punishments”, the author wanted to teach the kids that ________.A．fighting was not a game B．there were no real punishments in lifeC．they should be nice to each other D．fighting was bad for both sides20．What’s the best title for the passage?A．Brother and Sister B．A Smart MomC．Stop Arguing D．The Punishment Wheel三、6选5下面文章中有五处（第1-5题）需要添加小标题。

AEarthquakes are something that people fear. There are some places that have few or no earthquakes. Most places in the world, however, have them regularly. Countries that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous(多山的).The most talked about earthquake in the United States was in San Francisco in 1906. Over 700 people died in it. The strongest one in North America was in 1964. It happened in Alaska.Strong earthquakes are not always the ones that kill the most people. In 1755, oneof the strongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal. Around 2, 000 people died.In 1923, a very strong earthquake hit Tokyo, Yokohama area of Japan. A hundred and forty thousand people died. Most of them died in fires which followed the earthquake.One of the worst earthquakes ever was in China in 1976. It killed a large number of people.

Unit4阅读拓展练习 2021-2022学年牛津译林版必修第一册
译林版必修第一册Unit4阅读拓展练习1Ⅰ.阅读理解ALike all big cities，Paris has a traffic problem：lots of cars，lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes(废气)．So the city began a project to improve the situation.Under the Velib project (“V elib” comes from vélo liberté，or “bicycle freedom”)，people can take a bicycle，use it for as long as they want，and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station.The first halfhour on the bicycle is free，but if you don’t return it after 30 minutes，you have to pay.But it’s only 1 a day or 29 a year! The bicycles are heavy (25 kg)，and they are all grey and have baskets.There are about 20,000 of them in the city，and around 1,450 bicycle stations.So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!Paris is not the first city to have a project like this.But not everybody thinks it’s a great idea.One Parisian said，“These bicycles are only for short journeys.If people want to travel across the city，they won’t use a bicycle—they’ll still use their cars.”A city spokesman said，“The bicycle project won’t solve all our traffic problems，of course.But it might help reduce air pollution.Traffic，together with factory fumes，is a big problem.There aren’t any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities.But unless we do something now，there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise，so the problems in our environment will get worse.The bicycles might help people to lead a healthier life，too.”1．What can we learn about the Velib project?A．Its bicycles have no baskets.B．Its bicycles are light and colorful.C．It aims to make traveling easier.D．It owns more stations than the subway.2．If you use a Velib for half an hour，you should pay .A．for free B.1C.29D.303．Why do some people disagree with the Velib project?A．The cost is rather high.B．It’s hard to find a V elib station.C．It’s not suitable for a long journey.D．The distance between two Velib stations is long.4．What’s the city spokesman’s attitude towards the bicycle project?A．Worried. B．Positive.C．Uncaring. D．Doubtful.答案DACBBI first started playing soccer on a Wednesday three years ago.My cousin played soccer every Wednesday at the park and he dragged me into playing with him that day.My cousin played soccer really well，which made me want to learn how to play soccer so that I could fit in with him.Growing up without my father，I wasn’t so interested in sports.But that day as soon as I started playing soccer，I realized I had a new interest.So for almost a year I was playing soccer at the park every Wednesday with adults.However，I didn’t make much progress.I started thinking，“If I keep playing with adults，I might not get better because I could never get the ball.”I decided to join a soccer team with kids of my age.After I turned thirteen，I got into my first soccer team.All the players looked professional and I thought I was going to get defeated.But when I played against them，I found I wasn’t that bad.In the following several months，I stopped playing at the park，took all the team’s practice，took part in all the games and learned a lot of skills.As a result，I played better and better.By the time I was fourteen，I played with both my soccer team and my cousin.When I played with my team，I was actually one of the best players.However，when I played with my cousin at the park，it was really hard to trick people.Happily，I could give good passes to everybody and I hardly gave the ball away to the opponents.And if I didn’t give a pass，I tried for a shot.I’m sure I’ll play much better with more practice.Do you play soccer？If you don’t，try to take a shot，you may love it.5．The writer didn’t make much progress because .A．he didn’t practice hard enoughB．the adults didn’t want to play with himC．his cousin didn’t teach him how to playD．he had no chance to practice kicking the ball6．When the writer got into his first soccer team，he felt at first.A．excited B．worriedC．relaxed D．disappointed7．In the following months after the writer joined the soccer team，he .A．often got injuredB．practiced very hardC．missed some gamesD．often played with his cousin8．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the last paragraph?A．To tell people how to play soccer.B．To show the fun of playing soccer.C．To encourage people to play soccer.D．To show how to live an active life.答案DBBCCLosing weight has become a major concern for so many people.People try different weight loss methods all the time，some of which will never work，while others provide just a temporary solution.It is important to note that there are some green ways to lose weight that are not only healthy and effective but also good for the environment.Let us look at some of these green ways to lose weight.Growing your own vegetables is a good way to ensure that you are eating healthy foods.The process is even better if you can use organic manure(肥料)．Planting your own vegetables is not only a good way to go green；it also provides you with plenty of physical exercise.Preparing a garden，including planting and taking care of the vegetables，is a great way to achieve a healthy weight.If you usually eat meat on a daily basis，you should consider replacing that meat with more vegetables.If you have no idea what vegetarian diets are like，you can do some research on the Internet，and you can also get information from vegetarian magazines such as Vegetarian Times magazine.By reducing your intake of meat，you will be able to reduce your intake of fats，and hence，it will be easier for you to get rid of some weight.Reduce periods of driving and try walking or cycling instead.If you are used to driving your car to get to wherever you are going，it would be great for you if you substituted walking or cycling for driving.Cycling and walking are good workouts that will ensure that your body burns excess fat and calories，and therefore，you will be able to lose weight.It is important to know that there are so many ways in which we can turn our bad habits into good ones.Most of these good habits will not only benefit our bodies；they will also make the world a better place for all of us.Let’s go green，and let’s lose weight!9．Planting your own vegetables means .A．you will never get sickB．you will get enough organic vegetablesC．you can also get some exerciseD．the garden will take on a wonderful new look10．What does Vegetarian Times magazine offer?A．It introduces people who prefer vegetables.B．It tells readers about vegetarian diets.C．It describes different kinds of popular meat dishes.D．It shows ways to lose weight in a short time.11．What can we infer from the passage?A．It is easy to lose weight if you’re determined.B．Walking or cycling is the best way to lose weight.C．Almost no one has developed good habits.D．A green environment is good for your health.12．What is the passage mainly about?A．A few green ways to lose weight.B．The environment and children’s health.C．A few benefits of losing weight.D．The importance of staying in shape.答案CBAAⅡ.七选五Nowadays，many people

Students are not allowed to bring mobiles to school. All the students are not allowed to eat outside and we have to have meals in the school canteen and so on. If we break the rules, teachers will punish us.In my opinion, some of these are necessary, but some are too strict. We can't go out on school nights. I think it's a good rule because it can make students safe.

It was going to be her mother’s birthday. She wanted to buy her a present that would be nice and useful but not expensive.A week before her mother’s birthday, she went shopping after a quick and simple lunch. When she had been looking for half an hour, she found a shop that was selling cheep umbrellas（伞）, and decided to take a black one, since her mother had lost hers the month before.She thought, “You could carry that when you are wearing clothes of any color.” So she decided to buy a lovely black umbrella and took it back to school with her until her classes had finished.On her way back home in the train that evening, she felt hungrybecause she had such a small lunch that she went along to the buffet car （餐车）for another sandwich and cup of coffee. She had left the black umbrella above her seat in the compartment（车厢）, but when she got back, it had gone! When she had left the compartment, there had been no other passengers（乘客）in it, but now there were three.Sally began to cry when she saw that the umbrella was no longer there. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what the matter was. She told them that the black umbrella she had bought for her mother was gone, and that she had to get out at the next station. After the three other passengers heard it, they asked her for her mother’s address so that they could sent the umbrella to her if someone had taken it by mistake and brought it back after Sally had got out of the train.The next week, Sally heard from her mother. It said, “Thank you very much for your lovely presents, but why did you send me three black umbrellas?”()1.Which of the following has the same meaning with the sentence "You could carry that when you are wearing clothes of any color"?A You can carry it when you are wearing any clothes.B Any color of your clothes will be all right.C The umbrella will be OK for your clothes in any colors.D.You can take any clothes that you like to wear.()2.Where did she find the umbrella missing?A.The compartment.B.Her school.C.The buffet car.D.The shop. ()3.From the passage,we can infer(推断)that_______.A.her mother would write to her if she didn't receive the presentB.the three umbrellas were sent by the girlC.only four people had ever been to the compartmentD.nobody brought the umbrella back()4.The best name of the story is_______.A.A Lucky GirlB.The Missing UmbrellaC.Mother's presentD.A Happy Mother()5.What does the writer want to tell us?A.You should take care of your things when you are traveling.B.Show your love to others,and they will bring you love.C.Children should often come back to see their parents.D.It's no use crying when you are in trouble.四Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. ▲ Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don't talk to someone, we'll certainly feel worse.”Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid totell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn't have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they'll be angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve (解决) them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesn't need to be an expert (专家) like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you're halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it! ( )1. Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph One? What can they do about this?B．Where do the problems come from?B.When did they have these problems?D．Why do they have so many problems?( )2. In Paragraph 2, the writer used the story of Laura to ________．A．answer a question B．give an exampleC．introduce his friend D．share his experience( )3. According to the passage Robert Hunt might be ________．A．Laura's teacher B．the writer of the passageC．a person with a problem D．an expert on students' problems ( )4. What is the main idea of this passage?A．Few children are careful with their money.B．Parents are more experienced than children.C．Talking to someone helps to solve problems.D．Students often have a lot of worries at school.五Maybe you have seen this in schools: some students are studying nearly all the time but they just pass their exams, while some others may spend much less time on their books but do much better in exams. How could this happen? People used to think that hard work is the only way to success. But now they have understood that smart work can make them succeed, too.Hard workers don't mind working for long hours, while smart workers always think of several different answers to these questions, “Why should I suffer this?” “Isn't there a better way to do this?” Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus now. Progress in every field is the direct result of “try to find a better way” by smart workers.There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it received an unusualletter from someone who complained that there was no soap in the soapbox he bought.How could empty soapboxes go out of the factory? The engineers checked the producing and packing. The producing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases, the packing machine (机器) let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon worked out a solution; he put a huge Xray machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapboxes. After teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted.“Sir, we could have solved the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way，” a worker said.“Really? How？”“We can put a huge fan near the packing machine. The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes, leaving the other boxes with soap.”See, this is smart work. In order to succeed, we should not only work hard like the engineer, but also think smart like this worker.( )1.

When he told people to do things, they would never obey him. One day, the King decided to let the cleverest man—a wizard (男巫) to come up with the spells (咒语) which would get people to obey him. The man made hundreds of spells, but none of them worked.A young man heard about it. He went to the palace, and told the King that he could help and then gave the king two small pieces of paper. “Use the first before saying what you want people to do, and use the second after they finish doing it.” A servant was passing by (路过), carrying a large turkey in his arms. The King said to him,“Please, let me see that turkey.”The servant was surprised by the King’s kindness. He never heard him say‘please’before. So he gave it to the King. The King, after looking at the turkey, said,“Thank you. You may go.”And theservant left. The young man’s spells really worked!

Tom was sitting in front of a bright computer screen on which a motorbike was running fast."Oh, Tom. You're still playing on that computer game. You must stop now, because it's half past eleven. If you don't go to bed soon, you'll be very tired tomorrow." said Mrs. White."But I've nearly won the game." Tom said to Mrs. White. She could see the excitement on his face. She sat down beside him."You're always playing on the computer. You spend more time on this machine than on your homework."Today more and more families have computers. Parents hope computers can help their children improve their study at school. But many of their children use computers to play games and watch videos instead of studying. We often see that computer net bars are crowded with people, especially young boys. They spend a lot of money competing (竞争) with the computerized (用计算机控制的) machines. The more they lose, the more they want to win. The result is that they don't want to work or study.In some countries, even scientists hate computers.

Sometimes your parents fight with each other, or you fight with your parents, or even you fight with a brother or a sister. When it happens, you may feel sad or even angry. Remember even people who love each other fight sometimes.When you're upset or angry, keep calm and then try thinking of a solution to the problem. You could go out to run around or play a ball, or just find a quiet place and relax. When you're really calm, talk with the person you argued with. Then you'll probably feel much better.Even if you're very angry, never hurt anyone in your family. That could only make things get worse. If a brother or a sister hurts you, it's important to tell your parent. It's also important to tell an adult if your parent hurts you.You could have a family meeting to talk about it when the fight happens. At the meeting, everyone should tell how they feel and give their advice.Sometimes, you should visit a family doctor to talk about the problems and get advice.

Well, I really have a few things in my mind to tell you, my young friends.First, do what your parents tell you. In fact, if you don't, they will make you do them. Most parents think they know more things than you do, and you can do better by following them than by doing something on your own.Second, go to bed early and get up early. The beautiful singing of birds is really the best thing to get up with.Third, there are different kinds of books, and the books are good onesfor the young to read.

Unit4 Natural disasters
Unit4---Natural disastersPart1美文阅读Earthquakes are among the most destructive natural disasters.They can happen just about anywhere Earthquakes cannot be predicted,but your chances of survival are much better if you prepare in advance and know what to do when an earthquake strikes.If You Are in a Building1.Steady yourself. Hold onto a solid object or get to the floor so that you do not fall. Try to hide under a piece of furniture.2.Drop，cover，and hold on.This is the national standard for earthquake safety in the United States.The alternate advice is to get next to a sturdy piece of furniture so that if a wall falls,it will create a confined space in which you can survive.This “triangle of life”method，however,is inconsistent with earthquake research and not recommended by the American Red Cross，Structural Engineers Association of Northern California, and Earthquake Country Alliance.3.Cover your head and neck. Use your hands and arms to protect these vital areas from falling objects.●Your upper body should also be covered because that is what is holding your neck which is holding your head.●If you have any respiratory disease, make sure that you cover your head with a T-shirt or handkerchief,until all the dust has settled.Breathing in dirty air is not good for your lungs.4. Do not move. If it is safe to do so,stay where you are for a minute or two,until you are sure the shaking has stopped.●Remember, aftershocks” are possible at any time,and are likely after a big earthquake. Aftershocks can range from being felt by only a few people to knocking down the entire city. They can collapse weakened buildings, especially fragile" structures like mobile homes.5.Slowly and carefully leave the building. As in the case of fire, it is suggested that you and your family meet in a safe location previously arranged by your family,such as a nearby baseball diamond”or park. Government help should be on the way soon.词汇：1.strike vt.(灾难)袭击2.standard n.[C]标准2.vital adj.至关重要的 4. respiratory adj.与呼吸有关的5. aftershock n.[C]余震6. fragile adj.易损坏的7. baseball diamond 棒球场Part 词汇拓展1.destroy vt. 摧毁；毁灭—destruction n. 摧毁；毁灭；破坏—destructive adj. 造成破坏的；毁灭性的2.affect vt. 影响；深深打动—effect n. 效果；影响3.shock vt. 使震惊—shocked adj. 吃惊的；震惊的—shocking adj. 令人震惊的4.breathe vi./vt. 呼吸—breath n.呼吸的空气—breathless adj.气喘吁吁的—breathlessly adv. 气喘吁吁地5.suffer vt./vi. 遭受；受苦—suffering n. 痛苦—suffer n. 受难者；患者6.survive vt/vi 幸存；幸免；生存—survivor n. 幸存者—survival n.幸存7.calm vt/vi 使震惊；adj. 镇静的；沉着的--calmly adv.镇定地--calmness n. 平静；镇定Part3 短语搭配1.natural disasters 自然灾害2.an air disaster 空难3.slide into（使）滑入; 溜进4.a flood of 大量的5.rescue sb./ sth. from…从……中营救某人/某物6.cause damage to sb/sth对……引起损害7.do damage to sb/sth对……造成损害8.an animal shelter 动物收容处9.shelter sb/sth from sb/sth保护……免受……10.shelter from sth躲避（风、雨或危险）11..as if 似乎；好像；仿佛12.in ruins严重受损；破败不堪13.in shock 震惊；吃惊14.be trapped in…被困在……中15.trap sb into（doing）sth诱使某人（做）某事16.hold one’s breath 屏住气17.out of breath 上气不接下气18.make an effort 作出努力19.suffer from 因……而痛苦；患有（疾病等）20.supply sb with sth = supply sth to sb向某人提供某物21.in the open air 露天；在户外22.survive from sth从……中幸存下来23.nuclear/wind/solar power 核/ 风/ 太阳能24.power cut/failure断电/停电25.first aid 急救26.first aid kit 急救箱27.. on hand现有（尤指帮助）28.an air strike 空袭29.side effect（药物等起到的）副作用趁热打铁一、基础巩固I．单词拼写1.

人教版八年级英语下册 Unit 4 单元话题阅读理解
Unit 4 单元话题阅读AOne day, a boy had a fight with one of his classmates. He didn’t wait until school was over, and hurried home to his grandfather. He told him his story angrily. “He is really bad,” the boy said, “and I hate him.”The grandfather said, “Let me tell you a story. When I was a boy, I, too, sometimes hated others for what they did…”As the boy listened carefully, the grandfather went on, “There are always two tigers inside my heart. One is good and kind. He gets on well with everything around him. But the other is bad and unfriendly. Even the smallest thing will make him angry. He fights with everyone all the time, and for no reason. He can’t think carefully because he always hates others. It is difficult to live with these two tigers inside my heart. They both try to control me.”The boy looked into his grandfather’s eyes and asked, “Which tiger always controls you, Grandfather?”The old man said slowly and seriously, “The one that I feed. I always feed the good and kind tiger, so I never hate others and seldom get angry now.”1. The boy went to his grandfather ____.A. before he went to schoolB. when he went to schoolC. after school was overD. after he had a fight2. The good tiger ____ everything around him.A. doesn’t likeB. gets along well withC. isn’t interested inD. wants to eat3.

The writer wants to tell us ____ in the passage.A. how to feed tigers wellB. how to control our feelingsC. how to get along with othersD. how to fight with othersBMaybe you have seen this in schools: some students are studying nearly all the time but they just pass their exams, while some others may spend much less time on their books but do much better in exams. How could this happen? People used to think that hard work is the only way to success. But now they have understood that smart work can make them succeed, too.Hard workers don't mind working for long hours, while smart workers always think of several different answers to these questions, “Why should I suffer this ?” “Isn't there a better way to do this?” Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus now. Progress in every field is the direct result of “try to find a better way” by smart workers.There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it received an unusual letter from someone who complained that there was no soap in the soapbox he bought.How could empty soapboxes go out of the factory? The engineers checked the producing and packing. The producing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases, the packing machine (机器) let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon worked out a solution; he put a huge Xray machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapboxes. After teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted.“Sir, we could have solved the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way，” a worker said.“Really? How？”“We can put a huge fan near the packing machine. The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes, leaving the other boxes with soap.”See, this is smart work.
