Vicky’s mother opened the door. She had a look at Vicky’s bedroom.
“What a mess! It looks as if a hurricane(飓风) passed through Vicky’s bedroom,” said Vicky’s mother. “I must ask her to clean it.”
Vicky was eating breakfast. Her father came into the kitchen and said, “Mom wants you to clean your room. It looks as if a hurricane passed through it.”
Joe, Vicky’s little brother, asked, “A hurricane Is that a bad thing ”
“Sure it is,” said his father.
“I’ll do it after school, Dad,” said Vicky. “My first class is geography and Mr. Miller hates people to be late.” And off she ran through the front door.
Twenty minutes later, Vicky ran into her classroom.
“Today,” said Mr. Miller, “we’re going to learn about hurricanes. Have any of you seen a hurricane ” Vicky thought about her bedroom, but she said nothing.
“I haven’t seen one. Not a real one but I watched a program on TV and I know they destroy(破坏) things and leave a mess,” said James who sat next to Vicky.
“Yes,” said Mr. Miller. “But today I’m going to surprise you. Sometimes hurricanes do good.”
“Hurricanes can be good things ” Vicky asked.
“Oh, yes,” said Mr. Miller. “Hurricanes bring a lot of water to rivers and lakes that are becoming dry. Animals and fish come back to live in them. Hurricanes also pick up heat from the very hot areas of the world and drop it in less warm places.”
“So, hurricanes can be good things,” Vicky said to herself. “I’m going to show Mom the good part.”
When Vicky got home in the afternoon, she began to clean up her bedroom. She put all of her things in their proper places.
“Mom,” she called. “Can you come here for a minute ”
Vicky’s mother put her head around the door.
“Vicky!” she said. “That looks fantastic! I told your dad this morning that it looked as if a hurricane had hit it!”
“Are you sure that’s a bad thing, Mom ” asked Vicky, smiling.

An old saying used for forecasting(预测)the weather says, “Red sky at night, sailors’ delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors(水手)take warning.” Is the saying true It turns out that it is. A red sky at sunset may mean that there are clear skies to the west, where the sun sets. A red sky at sunrise usually means that the clear weather has already passed, so storms might be coming.
Forecasting the weather has been practiced for thousands of years. In the 5th century BC, the Greeks sent out forecasts to sailors. They used signs in nature to forecast the weather. But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance(提前). They use scientific instruments to study weather conditions around the world and make forecasts. Pilots, farmers and many other people depend on these forecasts. Luckily, most of us can simply look on the smart phone or turn on the TV to find out what kind of weather is coming.
If you are looking for some signs of the weather, pay attention to nature. There are two basic rules used in weather forecasting: Weather generally moves from west to east, and low air pressure(压力)usually means rain or snow. So pay attention to the signs. If rainbows form in the west at sunrise, the sun is on the way. Smell the flowers-their smells are stronger in wet air. What are the ants doing Are they moving to higher ground This could mean a drop in air pressure. Are the birds flying low or high Falling air pressure may influence birds’ ears, so they fly low. And if the sky is red at sunset, you might plan a picnic for the next day!

35.答案:
答案一:
Studying alone or studying with a group
Some students like to study alone. Others enjoy studying with a group. As for me, I like studying alone better.
Firstly, studying alone helps me learn to solve problems on my own. Most of the time, I need to think hard about them all by myself. So my thinking ability is improved at the same time. Secondly, when I study alone, I can keep my mind on what I’m doing. With a clear head, I am able to finish my homework quickly. In this way, I will gradually develop a good learning habit.
I think studying alone is really a good way and it will benefit me a lot in my life.
答案二:
Studying alone or studying with a group
Some students like to study alone. Others enjoy studying with a group. As for me, I prefer to study with a group.
As the saying goes, “Two heads are better than one.” With a group, I can learn a lot from others. Whenever I have some questions, they are always ready to help. With their help, I become more and more confident in my study. Also, when I study with my classmates, we can discuss whatever puzzles me face to face. Through discussion, we can share different ideas and get to know more about each other.
All in all, I think studying with a group provides many chances to improve myself and helps me to be a better person.
