Maybe you know floods, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have you heard of typhoons(台风)?

Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September.

How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates(蒸发)into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into sky. Then cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles(圆圈)and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 metres a second, a typhoon begins.

A typhoon has two parts, one is called the "eye". In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. Here are the strongest winds and hardest rams.

Typhoons are very dangerous. What shall we do when a typhoon hits?

◆Stay inside. Close all the windows and stay away from them.

◆Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!

◆Listen to the radio or TV for important information.

◆If you're told to go to a safer place, do it right now.

1.This passage is most probably from 　　　　 .

A. a weather report　　 B. a science magazine

C. a travel record　　 D. an advertisement

2.When a typhoon comes, we CANNOT 　　　　 .

A. stay inside the strong house

B. close all the windows

C. go outside to find a safer place by ourselves

D. listen to typhoon news

3.In which order(顺序)does a typhoon happen?

a. The wind moves fast enough, a typhoon starts.

b. The air moves quickly, making wind.

c. The sun makes sea water hot.

d. The air gets warmer.

A. c-d-a-b　　 B. d-b-a-c　　 C. d-c-b-a　　 D. c-d-b-a

"Yes, sir!" answered Ben Weatherstaff. "I'm going to do a scientific(科学的)experiment(实验)，" he said seriously. "When I grow up, I'm going to make scientific discoveries(发现) about magic and I'm going to start with experiment. Do you understand?" "Yes, sir!" said Ben Weatherstaff, but he didn't really understand."I believe that there is magic in everything," Colin went on saying. "Dickon knows some magic. He charms(迷住)animals and people.

阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡上标有题号的横线上。

Many people believe that technologies(技术)are great for learning. Today, teaching tools such as PDAs (掌上电脑)are used in a lot of subjects, such as English, History and Science.

Many teachers are supporters of using PDAs in language learning. There are several advantages(好处).They say students can have more time for discussion in the classroom because they can get ready for their lessons with the help of PDAs. For example, they can listen to articles at home. They also say that PDAs can help students learn without teachers' help. Some students might need to listen to an article many times to understand it. They can use PDAs to listen to it again and again.

The students are also happy to use PDAs. They think using PDAs is an enjoyable way to learn. It will make the classes much more interesting. And they can learn more in class. Teaching notes are stored in their PDAs and easy to find.

However, many parents complain(抱怨)that PDAs are doing harm to students. They worry that students will use them to download(下载)teaching notes and use them to cheat(作弊) during exams. If a student spends more time on a PDA, he will have less time to talk with teachers and classmates.

In a word, education needs to make changes with times as technology is playing an important part. Let's look forward to a wonderful future when PDAs and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.

1.What do students think of using PDAs?

2.How many advantages do the language teachers say about using PDAs?

3.Would you like to use a PDA? Why or why not?
