President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama ended their first trip to India on Monday. The First Couple set off on the ten-day tour of Asia on Friday. Obama’s goals for the tour are to improve ties between the US and the region, and to promote (促进) economic growth and job creation. The President and his team will return to Washington, D．C．on November 14.
The Obamas began their trip in Mumbai, India, the financial and economic center of the country, on November 6. There, they met with government officials, business leaders and school groups. Up first on the schedule was a visit to a memorial at the TajMahal Palace and Tower Hotel. Obama’s second day in India was lighter than the first. The Presidential visit took place on Diwali, or the Festival of Lights. The five-day religious festival is celebrated each year by Hindus, Sikhs and others. The Obamas spent the holiday visiting with local schoolchildren.
On Monday, Michelle Obama joined 15 Indian school girls on a field trip to a museum of Indian craft work. During the tour, the First Lady stressed to the students the importance of education. Most of the children on the trip are the first girls in their families to attend school. Mrs Obama also encouraged the young women to stay fit, telling them that she likes to exercise because “women have to stay strong”.
Early tomorrow, the Obamas will travel to Indonesia, the country in which the President spent four years as a boy. After that, they will fly to Seoul, South Korea, to attend the Group of Twenty, or G-20, economic summit. The conference brings together leaders from 20 wealthy and developing nations and the European Union. They meet twice a year to address challenges that affect the global economy.
The final leg of the tour will be in Japan, where Obama will attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.

About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!
There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green － a strange world indeed.
Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.
Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.
28．The passage is mainly about _____________.
A．color and its surprising effects.
B．women being luckier than men
C．danger caused by color blindness
D．some information on color blindness
29．Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women
A．Women are more careful.
B．There are fewer color-blind women
C．Women are fonder of driving than men.
D．Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.
30．Which of the statements about the color- blind is true
A．Neither men nor women can see deep red.
B．All of them see everything in shades of green.
C．None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.
D．Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color.
31．We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a _____________.
A．red light B．yellow light
C．blue light D．green light
D
Elephants on the coast of Thailand are acting strangely. They stamp their feet and signal toward the hills. The sea draws back from the beaches. Fish fall heavily in the mud. Suddenly, a huge wave appears. This is no ordinary wave. It is a tsunami (海啸)!
Tsunami waves are larger and faster than normal surface waves. A tsunami wave can travel as fast as a jet plane and can be as tall as a ten-story building. Imagine dropping a stone into a pond. The water on the surface ripples (起涟漪). A tsunami is like a very powerful ripple. Tsunamis begin when the ocean rises or falls very suddenly. Large amounts of seawater are displaced. This movement causes huge waves.
If a tsunami happens, there must be some kind of force that causes the ocean water to become displaced. Most tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes. However, volcanoes, landslides (塌方), large icebergs, and even meteorites (陨石) are able to cause one of these giant waves.
Tsunamis are extremely powerful. Ordinary waves lose power when they break. Tsunami waves can remain powerful for several days. Because tsunami waves are so strong, they can kill people, damage property, and completely ruin an ecosystem in just one hour.
Scientists have no way of predicting when a tsunami will hit. However, if a powerful enough earthquake happens, scientists can send out a warning or a watch. A warning means that a tsunami will very likely hit soon. A watch means that conditions are favorable for a tsunami. When people are informed of a watch or a warning, they have more time to prepare. It is best not to get caught unaware when a tsunami is on the way!
32．Why are elephants acting strangely before the Tsunamis
A．They dislike the huge wave.
B．They are afraid of the big fish.
C．They can sense something out of the ordinary.
D．They see the ocean drawing back from the beaches.
33．What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Moved out of normal place. B．Pushed by human force.
C．Pulled to great heights. D．Hung down quickly.
34．Why do Tsunamis cause so much destruction
A．They are not familiar to most people.
B．They are very powerful and long-lasting.
C．They break on the coast, unlike normal waves.
D．They are caused by underwater earthquakes.
35．What is this text mainly about
A．How to guard against tsunamis. B．Differences between wave types.
C．What to do with tsunami waves. D．Causes and effects of tsunamis.

Dear Tom,
I’m glad to tell you that I won the first prize in the English Reading Competition held in our school this Friday. Before the competition, I was so nervous. But once I started, I tried my best to do it. When the final result came out, many classmates offered me best wishes. While reading, I met with many difficult words, so I need your advice on how to remember English words. In addition, the Spring Festival is coming, and I know you want to experience Chinese traditional culture. I’d enjoy it if you can come to China to spend the festival with us.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
