Many people love eagles because they can fly very high into the blue sky. But did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is coming long before it breaks?
When the storm is coming, the eagle will fly high to the sky and wait for the winds to come.
When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages (肆虐) below, the eagle is soaring above (在……上飞翔) it. The eagle does not run away from the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.
When the storms of life come upon us – and all of us will experience them – we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward life. The storms do not have to overcome (战胜) us. We can make use. We must believe of the great power deep in our hearts to lift us above them and that we can overcome all the storms. The winds of the storm can bring sickness, sadness, failure and disappointment in our lives, but we can soar above the storm by riding them.
Remember, it is not the burdens (负担) of life that matter, but how we deal with them.
1.Why do so many people love eagles?

Why do people love pandas so much? Perhaps it is because they look very cute, or perhaps it is because there are not many left.
Pandas are actually called giant pandas. Many people also call them panda bears because they are mammals (哺乳类) classified from the bear family. Giant pandas originate in China. Pictures of both the dragon and the giant panda are often regarded as the symbols of China.
Giant pandas look different from other bears because they are white with black patches around their eyes, over their ears, and across their bodies. Although they look adorable and move slow, they can be as dangerous as any other bear when they are angry. Pandas mostly eat bamboo, but they may also eat other food like eggs, fish, oranges and bananas.
Many people think that giant pandas have few babies, and that is one of the reasons that there are not many of them left. But scientists say that a female panda may have about five or six cubs during her life. The female panda gives birth to one or two panda cubs, but she is only able to take care of only one of her cubs. As a result, one of her cubs dies soon after birth because of a lack of intense care.
The giant panda is an endangered species, and there are only about 2,000 giant pandas left in the world. People have been trying hard to protect giant pandas. It looks like their work is paying off because the number of giant pandas is increasing.
1.Why do some people call “pandas” panda bears?
A. Because they look like bears.
B. Because they like to live with bears.
C. Because they are often regarded as bears.
D. Because they are mammals classified from the bear family.
2.What do pandas like eating most?
A. Bamboo. B. Fish. C. Bananas. D. Oranges.
3.How many baby pandas can a female panda have in her life?

①There are many different houses in the world. They can be different because people are different. The houses can also be different because of where they are. Houses can be made in many shapes.
② The dome house
Some people live in windy places. Big winds, like hurricanes, can blow houses down. In one place, a house was made in the shape of a dome. When a big hurricane came, it didn't blow down. However, all the other houses around it did. A dome house is made of triangle shapes. The shape of the dome house lets the wind go around it. A house with a flat wall is not as safe in a strong wind. A dome house doesn't have a roof to blow off. There is no wind in a dome house, so it is safer in a fire. It is safe from termites(白蚁),too. There is no wood for them to eat!
③A ball-shaped house
Some houses have been made in a shape like a ball. The walls, celing and floor are all one in a house with this shape. The wind moves around-the outside of the house. Ball-shaped houses can be hung from things or float on water.
④ ▲
A house on the ground can take up a lot of space. A house in a tree doesn't use any space on the ground at all. No trees have to be chopped down to make room for these houses. And the tree housed can be built in the shape of bee nest(巢). Such a house doesn't take very long to move to a new place. So it is helpful during the natural disasters.
⑤ A walking house
Some people have made a house that can walk. It is the shape of a long hexagon. The house has six legs. It can walk over any ground. It can even walk over bumpy ground. When it walks, three legs are always on the ground. A walking house would be very good if there was a flood or a fire.

Many people like to eat out because they can eat quickly and the food is not expensive. Some families go to fast food restaurants. But in the past people went to diners. Do you want to know the story of the first American diner?
In 1872, a man named Walter Scott had the first “diner”. It was not really a diner. It was only a simple food cart(马车). People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. The cart served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Messer Jones built the first big enough diner to allow customers to come inside. However, they had no chairs to sit down. Three years later, people built diners with counters(柜台式长桌)and stools(凳子)and people sat down while they were eating.
Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in a diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The earliest menu which only included sandwiches and coffee became bigger. Soup and dishes were added to the menu, and a breakfast menu appeared, too. In addition, diners were no longer carts on wheels.
Diners today are usually buildings with large windows, shining counters and stools, tables and chairs, where people can eat all three meals.
1.Why do many people like to eat out?
A. Because they can eat quickly.
B. Because the food outside is more delicious.
C. Because these people feel bored at home.
D. Because these people like to be with their friends.
2.Who did the first American “diner” serve?
A. Horseman.
B. Late-night workers.
C. People who were rich.
D. People who couldn’t cook.
3.When could customers sit down and eat inside diners?

4.According to Paragraph 3, diners changed in_____ ways.
A. two B. three C. four D. five
5.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?

Do you know what an eagle(鹰) does when a storm is coming?
The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it opens its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages(激烈进行) below, the eagle is flying above it.
The eagle does not shirk the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.
When the storms of life come to us--- and all of us will experience them--- we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief, like an eagle does. The storms do not have to beat us. We can use the nature’s power to lift us above them.
We are able to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can fly above the storm.
Remember, it is not the burdens(重担) of life that weigh us down, it is how we face them.
1.Why can an eagle fly when there’s a storm?
A. Because the cloud protects it.
B. Because the wind lifts it up.
C. Because the wings are big enough.
D. Because the storm is not strong enough.
2.What should we do when the storms of life come to us?
A. Encourage ourselves to rise above them.
B. Be ready to lose our belief.
C. Run away before they come.
D. Use the nature’s power to hide ourselves.
