I don’t have too many memories of my father because he was so sick in the last years of his life. But there are some that I am often reminded of and which may have developed my love of science.

When I was small， I was somewhat afraid of lightning and thunder（雷）. My father explained it. The explanation was in words that a child could understand but was basically correct. I gained a better understanding and learnt something from him.

What he said was that there was electricity in the clouds and it traveled to the ground like a spark(火花). When it traveled through the air， it made the air so hot that it burned. Then there was nothing where the air had been and the air all around rushed in to fill the space. Saying this， he clapped his hands together very loudly， pretending to be the air rushing in， and said that makes the thunder. When I hear thunder， I can still hear that clap clearly.

He also explained why a cloudy winter night was warmer than a clear one. When there were clouds， they were like blankets(毛毯) which kept the earth and us warm. He said that if there were no clouds， we had no blankets and were exposed to the universe. Our warmth was going to heat the whole universe. Even today， I still feel on the edge of space on a very clear night.

I am sure there were many other lessons that I took but no longer remember most of them now. What I did learn， in general， was that there were explanations and that the more I understood them， the more comfortable the world was to live in. I was not taught that there were mysteries but that there was understanding if you looked for it. This may be why I have always taken an interest in science.

A. his hands clapped loudly

B. rushing air filled the space

C. electricity traveled through the air

D. thick clouds knocked into each other

2.The underlined word“exposed”in paragraph 4 means .

A. close B. cold C. covered D. open

3.What did the writer think of his father’s explanation according to the passage?

A. Silly and strange

B. Scientific and difficult

C. Simple but scary

D. Vivid and understandable

4.We can know from the passage that .

A. the writer is smart enough to learn much

B. the writer has a good memory about learning

D. the writer was taught there were many secret things in the world

A. Remembering the reader B. Writing the first sentence

C Reading and rewriting D. Thinking on paper

Sooner or later everyone has to write something like a thank-you note， a report at a meeting ， a complaint or an apology．If you hate writing assignments in school， or if you still fear to put pen to paper， facing that empty page is almost as frightening as you’re facing a tiger．How to write it? There’s no mystery．Clear writing is just clear thinking．Here are some techniques for you．

1.

Sit down with a pencil and paper or at the computer screen and start thinking about what you want to say， why it’s important， why it matters， and what its impact is on the reader．Just get the ideas down．The next step is to go back and put them in order．

2.

Try to make your first sentence catch the reader’s eyes， because if it can’t， the reader isn’t going to read on．Get a good， clear lead sentence that summarizes your points and that answers the reader’s question “What’s in it for me?” If you can’t do it in one sentence， then do it in two or three but keep them short．

3.

Short， simple words are better than long words．Short sentences are better than long sentences．Remember that the goal is to communicate， not to express yourselves．Most people are so devoted to what they want to say that they forget somebody else has to be able to read it．Too much information makes you lose readers before they understand what you want to say．

4.

Read what you have written out aloud， and listen for any awkward sentences．All good writers read， then rewrite．Back off a little bit from what you’re writing．It’s an old standard， but if you can， write something and come back a day later．

5.How do you write a good article? Please write down one of your suggestions.(不少于5個單詞)

Answer the questions (根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，回答問題)

I, Robot 2: humans vs. robots!

Here is a piece of good news for I, Robot fans: Robot 2 may soon meet the public!

I, Robot, the science fiction action film released in 2004, was such a hot movie that itgrossed（收入總計） $347 million for a worldwide total.

The story is between humans and robots. In 2035, robots serve humans under three laws:

1. A robot may not injure a human being;

2. A robot must obey orders given by human beings.

3. A robot must protect itself as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second law.

However, with the development of technology, the robots start to have their own thinking. Instead of obeying the orders as they are programmed, they want to protect themselves and rule human beings. A battle between humans and robots is inevitable（不可避免的）.

Do you believe that one day computers may be cleverer than human brains? Are you afraid that robots invented by humans can surpass humans and conquer the world? Let's find the answers in I, Robot 2.

1.What kind of film is I, Robot?

_______________________________.

2.What does the story mainly tell us?

_______________________________.

3.How do robots serve humans?
