    　　Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.

    　　Sane may use this freedom to share lees time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they cane most about. I know this from personal experience.

    　　E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings . My working hours aren't necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office . This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool .

    　　The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends . Say you do something fun, see a great movie perhaps—and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, yon may tire of telling the story. With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.

    　　E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.

    　　We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don't take the place of any of the old ways.

    The above list covers the mother tongues of only half the village.

    阅读理解

    　　Many people like the feeling of the gentle wind in spring．Many like to see the falling leaves dancing in the wind in autumn．But sometimes, when the wind becomes a storm, it can be very destructive(毁灭性的)．

    　　A series of such storms struck the US last month and caused very serious damage and human pain．

    　　Every year, major storms cause many problems around the world．There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful forces of nature．But new techniques are helping scientists to predict(预测)how, when, and where big storms will happen．The more exact scientists' warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms．

    　　Predictions are improving．“We've gotten better over the years, especially the last few years,”says Phil Klotzback, a scientist at an American university．How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction．“For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right,”Klotzback says．

    　　First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air．As it rises, the vapor(水蒸气)cools and turns back into liquid．This process gives off heat．This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase．It drives the formation(形成)of a hurricane．

    　　If wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour, the system is called a“tropical storm”(热带风暴), and it gets a name．At 75 miles per hour, it becomes a hurricane．

    　　Hurricanes that hit the US start when a thunderstorm forms off the coast of Africa．Storms also develop over tropical waters in other parts of the world．

    　　On average, 60 or 70 storms form off Africa every year．About 10 of them get names．There are usually about six hurricanes．Two tend to be very big, with winds of 115 miles per hour or higher．

    　　The hurricane season lasts from June to November．Ninety percent of all hurricanes hit in August, September, and October．

    (1)

    According to the passage, hurricanes usually ________．

    [　　]

         Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. 　  1  . If tourists create too much traffic, the
    inhabitants become angry and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They
    forget how much tourism can help the country's economy. It is important to think about the people of a
    destination country and how tourism affects them. 　  2  . 　　
         Tourism should also improve the health and happiness of the local inhabitants. 　　
         Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to
    work in the tourism industry. 　  3  . 　　
         On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money.
    It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, first-class roads and other support facilities
    (设施) needed by tourist attractions. 　  4  . If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the
    hotel lose money. 　　
         Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get
    to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water.　   5   . If they are not used because there are
    not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.
    A. This means other parts of the country's economy can suffer 　　
    B. Tourism can bring a lot of benefits 　　
    C. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants
       (the people living there) of a country 　　
    D. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars
        per room to build 　　
    E. All of these support facilities cost money 　　
    F. Therefore, tourism plays an important part in local economy 　　
    G. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists
