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 into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the 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, 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 meters 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. This is where the strongest wind and hardest rains are.

Typhoons are very dangerous. In 2004, Typhoon Yunna killed 164 people in Zhejiang, and 24 people were missing. In May 2006, Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian, and thousands of houses were damaged.

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 so right away.

When you are learning English, listening, speaking and writing are important, but reading can be helpful. When you read, you can not only learn some new words, but also learn how to use these English words. When you read, it gives you a good example for writing.

Secrets of good reading:

　 Try to read at the right level. Read something that you can understand. If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary, it is not interesting.

　 Try to increase the number of your new words. If there are four or five new words on a page, write them in your notebook. But you don’t have to write them while you read. Instead, try to guess their meaning as you read: mark with them with a pen. Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and write them in your vocabulary and write them in your own vocabulary book. Then try to remember them.

　 Try to read regularly . For example, read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday. Fix(固定)a time to read and keep to it. For example, you could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed, or when you get up or at lunchtime.

　 　Read what interests you. Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like, because you are going to spend time and money reading it. So, choose an interesting book. You can also read newspapers. There are many English newspapers in China. For example, 21st Century Teens, English Coaching Paper, etc. They are easy enough for you to understand.

If you want to deal with the association (交往) between boys and girl right, here are some “do’s and don’ts” for you to follow.

Keep a normal and healthy state of mind (心态). It is very natural for the boys and girls to contact (接触) each other and build up the friendship with students of the other sex. We should have more friends of the other sex instead of one or two. We should contact the students in public instead of in secret.

　Contact students of the other sex warmly, generously and sincerely. Don’t be too nervous or too shy in contact with a person of the other sex. In that case it is very difficult for you to make a lot of friends, as no one likes a person who is too shy to say a word. If you are too shy a person, you can contact the students with the same interest and hobby as you. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will find you are also as free to express yourself as others.

　Don’t fall into the ditch (泥潭) of early love. The boys and girls at adolescence (青春期) are rich in feelings and full of imagination. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and to fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, boys and girls at middle school are too young and too tender (嫩的) to shoulder the heavy duty of love. Early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. Do keep out of early love.

51. We should contact students of the other sex in the following ways EXCEPT _______ .

　 A. with a good state of mind 　　　　 B. in public 　　　　　 C. in secret

52. The underlined word “imagination” means ____________ .

　 A. 想象力　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. 幻觉　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 C. 梦想

53. A person at adolescence is NOT ________________ .

　 A. rich in feeling 　　　　　　　　　　　　　

B. full of imagination　　　

C. old enough to fall in love

54. Which of the following is NOT true?

　 A. We’d better not make only one or two friends of the other sex.

　 B. Some students are too nervous or too shy in contact with a person of the other sex.

　 C. People like a person who always keeps silent.

55. The main idea of the reading is to _______ .

　 A. tell students to keep away from early love

　 B. give some advice on how to deal with the association between boys and girls
