Over a period of time, many habitats (栖息地)change with respect to the types of plants and animals that live there. This change is known as succession.
Succession occurs because plants and animals cause a change in the environment in which they live. The first weeds and grasses that appear on a bare field, for example, change the environment by shielding the soil from direct sunlight. As these plants spread, the ground becomes cooler and more moist than it was originally. Thus, the environment at the ground surface has been changed. The new surface conditions favor the sprouting(产生)of shrubs. As shrubs grow, they kill the grasses by preventing light from reaching them and also enhance (增加)the soil. Pine seedlings (苗)soon take hold and as they grow, they in turn shade out the shrubs. They are not able to shade out oak and hickory (山核桃)seedlings, however, that have found the forest floor suitable.  These seedlings grew into large trees that eventually shade out the pines

Force other than damaging winds are also at work inside tornadoes. Sometimes, as the turning, jumping funnel(漏斗) passes over a house, the walls and ceiling burst apart as if a bomb had gone off inside. This explosion(爆炸) is caused by the low air pressure at the center of a tornado.

The pressure at the center of a tornado is usually 13 pounds per square inch. However, inside the house the air pressure is normal, about 15 pounds per square inch. The difference of 2 pounds per square inch between the inside and outside pressure may not seem like much. But suppose a tornado funnel passes over a small building that measures 20 by 10 by 10 feet. On each square inch of the building, there is 2 pounds of pressure from the inside that is not balanced by air pressure outside the building. On the ceiling, that adds up to an unbalanced pressure of 57,600 pounds. The pressure on the four walls adds up to 172,800 pounds.

If windows are open in the building, some of the inside air will rush out through them. This will balance the pressure inside and outside the building. But if the windows are shut tightly, the great inside pressure may cause the building to burst.

  Unfortunately, heavy rain happens in thunderstorms that later produce tornadoes. So, people often shut all windows to protect their property. This may cause far worse damage later.

63. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?

A. Where tornadoes are formed.          B. When tornadoes usually occur.

C. How tornadoes can be prevented.       D. Why tornadoes cause so much damage.

64. According to the passage, tornadoes can destroy building because the _____.

A. force of a tornado increases the air pressure in a building

B. air pressure at the center of a tornado is over 172,000 pounds

C. weight of a tornado can crush a building’s roof when it passes overhead

D. air pressure inside a tornado is less than the air pressure inside a building

65. According to the passage, the pressure on a building during a tornado can be reduced    by _____.

A. closing the windows              B. opening the windows

C. using an electric fan               D. making the roof and walls stronger

Less TV Reduce Kids Weight
PALO AITO, California—“Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter—even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise,” US researchers said last week.
A study of 192 third and fourth grades, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds (0.91 kg) less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.
“The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity,” said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician (儿科专家)at Stanford University.
“ American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years,” Robinson said.
In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies’ annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third.
Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continue their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise.
“One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around and burning off calories,” Robinson said.
“Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,” Robinson added.
【小题1】 The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that ____.

A.children will get fatter if they eat too much.
B.children will get thinner if they eat less.
C.children will get fatter if they spend less time watching TV.
D.children will get fatter if they spend more time watching TV.
【小题2】 According to the passage, the time American children usually spend on watching TV ____.
A.is more than four hours a day.B.is less than four hours a day.
C.doubled in the last twenty years.D.is more than on any other activities.
【小题3】Which of the following is right ?
A.Children usually eat fewer while watching TV.
B.Children usually eat more while watching TV.
C.Children eat the same amount of meals while watching TV.
D.Children usually eat nothing while watching TV.
【小题4】Why can watching TV increase kids’ weight according to the passage ?
A.They usually eat more while watching TV.
B.They burn off fewer calories.
C.They change their diet while watching TV.
D.Both A and B
