For more than two days in September 1974, the people of Honduras shut their windows, locked their doors and covered in their homes. Fifi was outside, and they were frightened.

By the time Fifi had left, 8,000 people were dead, Fifi wasn't a pet dog as the name suggests. It was a hurricane, one of the most destructive natural phenomena in the world.

Why do we give human names to storms and hurricanes?

We didn't always. Two hundred years ago, many hurricanes in the Caribbean were named after the saint's(基督徒的)day on which the storm occurred. Later, storms were known by the name of the city where they came ashore.

Meteorologists (气象学家) then tried naming storms after the latitude (纬度) and longitude (经度) where they occurred.

Finally, in 1953, hurricanes started getting people's names —specifically, female names. Male names were added in 1979.

There are six sets of names for what the experts call “Atlantic tropical cyclones”( 热带风暴)．

Each list is used every six years and consists of 21 names, starting with every letter but Q, U, X, Y ，Z. the names alternate (交替)between male and female.

A storm won't get a name until its winds reach 39 mph or about 62.4 kph, at which point it becomes a tropical storm. At 74 mph or 118.4 kph it's declared a hurricane.

The 126 names on the list are used only for storms that form off the Atlantic coast of the US. There are separate lists for the Pacific.

So what happens if a hurricane should cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific? It's happened before. The storm just gets a new name and sometimes a new sex.

Max Mayfield is the director of the National Hurricane Centre, headquartered in Miami, Florida. He is in charge of picking new names for storms off the Atlantic coast.

He doesn't do it alone, though. His counterparts in two dozen other countries in the Caribbean, Central America and North America vote on what names will replace retired names.

1.From the first paragraph we can find that ________.

A．Honduras is a country which was destroyed by Fifi

B．Honduras is a country which has no mountains

C．Honduras is a country which faces the ocean

D．Honduras is a country which lies at high latitude

A．There were no hurricanes two centuries ago.

B．The Caribbean is a state of the United States.

C．The Caribbean is a place where hurricanes occur often.

D．Fifi was formed off the Pacific.

3.The names for storms and hurricanes, as this passage shows，________.

A．are set for use.　

B．are all from American English

C．are difficult to spell　

D．are easy to fix

4.The underlined word “counterparts” in the last paragraph means ________.

A．citizens holding the same opinion　

B．people with a similar position or function

C．passengers traveling by sea

D．assistants working abroad

What can be found in the two recent studies?

One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards．Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study, which appeared last month in the journal Science．They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoner's Dilemma．The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group．The students played in groups of four．Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally．But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players, at a cost to the punisher．Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation （合作）．The groups that rewarded most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded least．And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings．The group with the most punishment earned twenty-five percent less than the group with the least punishment．

The other study referred to children, which was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse．Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups．More than eight hundred children were ages two to four the first time they were tested．More than seven hundred children were ages five to nine．The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test．Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not．The study says the IQs ?or intelligence quotients—of the younger children who were not spanked were five points higher than those who were．In the older group, the difference was almost three points．Murray Strauss from the University of New Hampshire' worked with Mallie Paschall from the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation．Professor Strauss has written extensively about physical punishment of children．He says the more they are spanked, the slower their mental development．He also looked at average IQs in other nations and found them lower where spanking was more common．

72．We can learn from the passage that ____．

A．the first study began last month at Harvard University in America

B．the Prisoner's Dilemma is a game that can teach you how to be cooperative

C．the study on the IQs of children was carried out by Professor Murray Strauss

D．Professor Mallie has done lots of researches on family violence

73．What study method was adopted in the two recent studies according to the passage?

A．Observation．          B．Questionnaire．        C．Conclusion．    D．Experiment．

74．The underlined word "spanked" in the third paragraph refers to ____．

A．scolded constantly        B．punished physically

C．praised frequendy               D．rewarded mentally

75．Which of the following charts is TRUE according to the passage?
