Dear Mark,
I'm sorry to hear that you were hit by a motorcycle on your way home from the library. Your brother told me that you had to stay in hospital until the end of October. I hope you'll get well soon.
I know that you've tried to get higher grades, so you started to study in the library this term. But you have to be careful because riding a bike at night is kind of dangerous.
Some of our classmates will go to see you tomorrow. I can't go with them because I have a music contest(竞赛) tomorrow afternoon. I joined a guitar club, you know. But I'll visit you this Sunday and I can help you with your lessons then.
Helen

Near the village, there is an old famous temple. Some people want to build new houses where the temple now stands, because they can find no other area to build them, while others disagree with them. They meet to decide how to solve the problem. Here are their opinions about it.
The expert wants to protect the temple and believes that there are some interesting things buried in the ground. If it is destroyed or moved, people may never learn about how people lived in the past.

Maybe you know floods, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have you heard of typhoons
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 rains.
Typhoons are very dangerous. In November this year, Typhoon Haiyan killed 5500 people in Philippines. More people are missing.
What to 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.
( ) 小题1:This passage is most probably from .
A．an advertisement of a typhoon B．a travel record
C．a weather report D．a science magazine
( )2:Typhoons often happen .
A．in the hot season B．in the cold season C．only in China D．under the sea
( )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．d-c-b-a B．c-d-b-a C．c-d-a-b D．d-b-a-c
( )4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．The warmer the air gets, the slower the wind moves.
B．5500 people died because of Typhoon Haiyan around the world.
C．The strongest winds and hardest rains are in the wall of clouds.
D．A typhoon will not happen before the wind goes faster than 30 km a second.
( )5:When a typhoon comes, we CANNOT .
A．close all the windows
B．listen to typhoon news
C．stay inside the strong house
D．go outside to find a safer place
