    A big, mighty(高大的) tree stood in a forest. Its branches(树枝) spread out and its roots (根) went deep in the earth. A lot of people came here to have a rest under it. And a lot of birds stood on its branches to sing and dance. The big tree was very proud all the time.
    At the foot of the tree, there was a little plant. The plant was thin, and seemed to be blown down by any of a little wind.
    One day, the two neighbors were having a little chat.
    “Well, little one,” said the tree to the plant, “why not put your feet deeply in the earth, and raise your head high in the air as I do?”
    “I see there is no need to do so,” said the plant with a smile. “In fact, I think I may be safer in this way.”
    “Safer?” said the tree. “Are you safer than I am? Do you know how deep my roots are in the earth and how strong my branches are? Who can possibly pull me out by the roots or bow my head to the ground?” And the tree didn’t want to say anything to the weak plant.
    But the tree was to regret its words very soon. One evening, a great hurricane(飓风) came. It blew the trees off their roots and almost destroyed the forest completely. It uprooted（将……连根拔起）the mighty tree and blew it away with great force.
    When the storm had gone, the villagers living nearby came to check the damage. The mighty tree lay on the ground, but the little plant still stood there.

    B．Because it was tall and thick.

    D．All of the above.
    【小题3】Why didn’t the big tree want to say anything to the little plant?
    A．Because the big tree was tired.
    B．Because the little plant knew less than the big tree.
    C．Because the strong wind came.
    D．Because the big tree looked down upon(看不起)the little plant.
    【小题4】What did the villagers living nearby see after the hurricane had gone?

    In the 1500s, South American fishermen said that the sea became warmer every few years. They gave this special event a Spanish name 'El Nino', meaning 'the baby'. It is called 'the baby' because it arrives around Christmas.
    El Nino is a huge area of warm water in the middle of cold water in the Pacific Ocean. It happens every two to seven years. It moves around the ocean and becomes bigger and smaller at different times. This warm water affects the weather. It is always raining over El Nino. El Nino contains a lot of energy. Scientists think this energy is formed when wind comes from the northern half of the world. The winds blow across warm sea water in the south. When the strong wind hits the warm water, violent weather happens. Scientists think that El Nino existed for many thousands of years.
    El Nino affects every person in the world because it affects the entire world's weather. It can bring the rain that farmers need. It can bring storms that destroy homes. It can mean that fishermen cannot catch fish, and it can bring floods. There is nothing we can do about El Nino. It is an event of nature. We can help the world's weather by trying to stop the greenhouse effect and air pollution. The most important job for scientists is to learn how to predict when El Nino is going to bring dangerous weather. Then, people can try to prepare for storms, floods and droughts. New technology like satellite pictures and temperature measuring equipment can help. Still, it is very hard to say when or where El Nino will cause damage.
    【小题1】El Nino is ______.
    A．a storm that hits every two yearsB．a huge area of warm water
    C．a wind from the southD．some cold water in the Pacific Ocean
    【小题2】 It happens ______.

    【小题3】El Nino ______.
    A．makes the weather betterB．affects the weather
    C．gives the weather energyD．predicts the weather
    【小题4】It is always______ over EI Nino.
    A．sunnyB．cloudyC．rainyD．windy
    【小题5】El Nino affects ______.
    A．everybodyB．just farmers
    C．only fishermenD．only students
    【小题6】 We can help the world's weather by______.
    A．finding out more about El NinoB．being careful during the floods
    C．driving carsD．stopping the greenhouse effect
    【小题7】______helps to predict El Nino.
    A．Looking out of the windowB．Checking the weather each day

    Last Sunday I saw the hardest storm in years. It came suddenly and went on for more than three hours. After lunch, I went into my room to have a rest. The air was hot, and all was quiet.
    Then the strong wind started blowing into my room. Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out of the open window. As I ran out to catch them, big drops of rain began to fall.
    When I came back into the house, it was raining harder. I tried hard to close the window. Then I heard a loud crashing（撞击）sound from the back of the house. I ran out of my room to find out what it was—a big tree had fallen down and broken the top of the back room

    The weather can influence(影响)intelligence(智力). For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year(July and August).
    Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot weather. At about 18 °C, people become stronger.
    Lower air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18 °C.
    Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.
    【小题1】What can influence people’s intelligence according to the first paragraph?
    A．Feeling.B．Diet.C．HealthD．Weather.
    【小题2】Students get worse on exams because ___________.
    A．they take exams in hot monthsB．they take exams in cold months
    C．they take exams with bad feelingsD．they take exams in windy months
    【小题3】At a temperature of about 18 °C. people may_________.
    A. leave more bags on buses                    B. like to go shopping
    C. remember things better                      D. feel unhappy
    【小题4】Which of the following is NOT true?
    A．A report in 1983 showed that weather can influence intelligence.
    B．The wind can make people cleverer.
    C．Hot summer is a hard time for fat people.
    D．Weather has nothing to do with people’s feelings.
