Are you afraid of big storms? Many people are. But did you know some people go out to chase (追逐) tornadoes (飓风)? Such storms can hit suddenly and move very quickly, so storm chasers always have to be prepared.
When a tornado is about to hit, professional storm chasers try and get close to it to collect important information. Storm chaser Tim Samaras designed and built many different instruments for studying tornadoes. Throughout his career, the engineer chased down more than 120 tornadoes.
During a storm, storm chasers put special equipment in the way of the tornado. The equipment collects information about things such as wind speed and air pressure. This helps scientists to make better forecasts. It can even help people understand how powerful the winds can be, and as a result, change how we build our houses.
Storm chasing can be exciting, but also very dangerous. The storm chasers' knowledge and experience are not always enough to keep them safe. On 31st May, 2013, Samaras and his team were chasing the El Reno tornado in Oklahoma, USA. To their surprise, the tornado behaved(行为) in an unexpected way. It grew rapidly and changed its speed and direction.
On that terrible day, the largest tornado appeared. It was 4. 2 kilometers wide and had winds topping 480 kilometers per hour. While the tornado was moving towards them, Samaras and his team were driving as fast as they could. Sadly, when the tornado hit their car, it threw their car into the air like a toy. All three men in the car died.
The story of Tim Samaras is very sad, but his work continues to play an important role in weather science. Though storm chasing remains a dangerous job, the goal of storm chasers is to learn more about storms to keep people safe. For people like Samaras, that goal makes it all worth it.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for inviting me to speak to you about Blue Sky Rescue today. Let me begin with my own story.
Back in 2008, I was hiking in the mountains with some friends when one of them fell and got a bad head injury. We had to find help quickly, so we called an emergency(紧急情况) number. It was already dark, and we couldn't even see where we were. After some time, we heard dogs barking and the voices of the Blue Sky Rescue team. I nearly started crying. We were so thankful that they found us!
I've never forgotten that day. Since then, I've wanted to help others too. I signed up with Blue Sky Rescue in 2009, and I've been a volunteer ever since.

Working as a volunteer has taught me many practical life saving skills. It has also helped me understand the power of teamwork because it's the key to successful rescues. Most of all, being a volunteer has taught me the value of every life.
The work is difficult. We often go without food or sleep. But our primary goal has always been to save as many people as we can. I'm just an ordinary person, but I'll rush into danger, just like everyone else in Blue Sky Rescue. To the people we've saved, I know we' re their heroes. And that makes everything we do worth it. We want to do even more, but we can't do it all alone. Will you join us as a volunteer? Together we can make a difference!

When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I looked to the east—the sky was becoming grey. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a dark path. There was nothing to see, but I knew it was there.
After about a mile, a stranger appeared beside the path. "Am I going the right way?" I asked. He knew where I was going. "Yes, "he replied, "you'll get there in five minutes. "Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it.
Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. The sun rose behind me and shone on the rocks. Far below me, the ground fell away and down to a river I was looking across one of the wonders of the natural world—the Grand Canyon.
I looked down to the Colorado River, a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still would not reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. It was about fifteen miles away, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away for more than 200 miles. The Grand Canyon was not just big. It was huge!
I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself, "Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder of the natural world?"I certainly know the answer. What do you think?

C、To describe how deep the canyon is. D、To tell people the buildings are famous.(3)、What does the writer think of the Grand Canyon?A、Huge and amazing. B、Small but beautiful. C、High and wonderful. D、Great but dangerous.(4)、Which of the following correctly shows the change of the writer's feelings?A、Unsure→tired→sad. B、Afraid→worried→bored. C、Bored→afraid→relaxed. D、Curious→surprised→amazed. -

Not many people can honestly say they like taking exams, as we usually get nervous before and during an exam. When the results are about to be announced, we fear not passing. But exams are important because they test how much we know and what we have learnt.
Both students and adults have to take exams. Many adults with full-time jobs study for professional qualifications(资格). They may attend classes after work or study by themselves on weekends. Without exams, it would be difficult to tell a person's academic(学术的) ability.
Revision(复习) can be stressful for those preparing for an exam. It can be hard to motivate(激励)yourself when you can hang out with friends having fun instead of sitting at a desk revising.Therefore, it is important to keep a balance between revising and taking short breaks. Set a study plan so you can study step by step instead of overloading your brain a day or two before the exam.
A common phrase of encouragement for those about to sit an exam is‘You can only do your best'. And this is true as no one wants to fail an exam. However, exams do not determine your worth,and the results of one test are only part of your learning journey, where you can improve next time.
(1)、Why do many people not like taking exams?A、Because they feel nervous. B、Because they study too much. C、Because they know the results.(2)、Which of the following was NOT mentioned about adults with full-time jobs?A、They attend classes after work. B、They teach students on weekends. C、They study for professional qualifications.(3)、What does the underlined phrase"overloading your brain" mean in Paragraph 3?A、让大脑得到休息 B、让大脑负担过重 C、让大脑变得聪明(4)、What is the best title for the passage?A、Why Exams Make Us Nervous B、Good Ways to Get High Scores C、Understanding and Facing Exams -
