People sometimes say, “It’s raining cats and dogs!” when there is a heavy rain. Nobody has ever really seen cats and dogs falling from the sky, but there have been many reports of other strange things “raining” down. In 1956, 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.

2.Which of the following has not been reported as strange things falling from the sky?

A. Cats and dogs.　　 B. Worms and insects.

C. Fish and blood.　　 D. Snakes and frogs.

3.What does the underlined word “torn” mean in Chinese?

A. 破裂　　 B. 撕破　　 C. 切碎　　 D. 割破

4.Scientists’ explanation for rain of blood is that ________.

A. the tornado picked up the birds’ blood

B. flying birds were torn into pieces by strong winds

C. there were no strong winds that day

D. other parts of birds’ bodies did not fall with the blood

5.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. Strange “Winds”　　 B. Strange “Clouds”　　 C. Strange “Rains”　　 D. Strange “Animals”

If you lose 12 times, will you just give up? Dale Carnegie, a pioneer in public speaking and self-development, kept trying. And he became famous by showing people how to be successful.

Carnegie was born in 1888 in the central United States. As a son of a farmer, the boy had to get up at 4 a.m. every day to milk the cows. When Carnegie first entered college, he felt hopeless because of his clothes and ordinary (普通的) looks. His mother encouraged him, “Why not try to be better in other things instead of just dress and good looks?”

Carnegie tried to be more active in college. He joined the debate (辩论) team. But one after another, he lost 12 times. The young man was so disappointed in himself that he even thought of ending his own life for so many failures.

But soon Carnegie was seen practicing public speaking on the riverside. His hard work brought good results at last. In 1906, Carnegie won a famous speech match and became widely famous.

The young man made his own words come true: “Believe that you will succeed, and you will.” In order to share his success, Carnegie started schools and wrote books. More than 50 million copies of his books have been printed in 38 languages. They are still helping people on the road to success.
