It was 3:43. Thunder was crashing and the rain was pouring. Suddenly my father rushed into my room. “Adam! Adam! Get up! We’re flooding!” he shouted and shook me by the shoulders. That woke    up! I ran downstairs to the basement. It was like a swimming pool. My mother and I immediately started to pick up things and take them upstairs. I had no      on, so my feet were quite freezing.
Things got worse every minute. Within the next hour, we had moved everything that we could to the first floor. The computer, big-screen television and heavy boxes       with our most valuable things were taken to safety.       , our piano, sofa, washing machine and water heater were all still down there—being       . There was nothing we could do.
That was the hardest part. Knowing that your home is being destroyed is bad enough, but       that you can’t do anything to stop it feels even worse.
Water had come in our front door. Rescue      were floating in our streets. Mother told me to pack an overnight bag of clothes and valuables and get ready to leave.
When it was        safe to walk outside, all the people in the neighborhood        at the street corner. People became friends, and friends became like family. People      each other. We learned later that the National Weather Service had declared the storm a flash flood.
I really have      something from this flood. I’ve learned what destruction is. I have learned what       means. I know in the future, when I watch people’ s lives affected by natural disasters, I can understand them. I will show great pity on them and I will do what I can to help them.

This happened in London It was November and the weather was very wet and cold. A Frenchman had caught a very bad cold. He coughed day and night, so he decided to go and get some medicine for his cough. As he did not know much English, he took out his dictionary and looked up the word "cough". But the dictionary did not tell him how to pronounce(發(fā)音) the word. He thought it over and remembered that he had learned the word "plough". He remembered that it was pronounced[plav].

"A farmer?" said the Frenchman in surprise, "What makes you think I'm a farmer? I come from Paris. I'm not a farmer. "
"But where is your cow?"

On May 2, 2012, Ashok Gadgil became the winner of the $100,000 Lemelson-MIT Award for Global Innovation (全球創(chuàng)新獎). Each year, the honor is given to an inventor who has made a big difference in the lives of people in developing countries. Gadgil is a professor and physicist at the University of California, Berkeley. He spent thirty years helping people in need. His inventions have helped more than 100 million people around the world. “I chose to focus on problems where my knowledge of science  could help,” Gadgil said.
In the 1990s, Gadgil designed his first life-saving invention after more than 10,000 people died from Bengal cholera (孟加拉霍亂) because of the clean water crisis (危機) in India. His invention uses ultraviolet light to kill deadly disease-carrying germs (細(xì)菌) from drinking water. It costs just one cent to clean five liters of water (about 21 cups). So far, the invention has provided safe drinking water for more than five million people in India and other developing countries.
Gadgil’s another important invention is the Berkeley-Darfur Stove (爐具). The long and violent war in Darfur, Sudan, has caused many people to move to foreign countries and live in refugee camps (難民營). They are given food aid. But people still have to travel a long distance five times a week to gather firewood to cook meals. This can be dangerous because of street violence in the area. To avoid danger, some spend much of their money used to feed their families buying firewood.
The stove Gadgil created cuts fuel usage by 55%. That means people wouldn’t have to leave the camps to find firewood as often. The invention also helps to save homes more than $300 a year. About 125,000 people and their families have been helped.
As a professor, Gadgil encourages his students, “Be optimistic (樂觀的) when you try a hard problem,” he says. “It’s when you solve a large problem that you can have a big influence on the world.”
小題1: Ashok Gadgil was given the honor because _______.
A．he was a famous professor and physicist at UC, Berkeley
B．he improved the lives of people in developing countries
C．he spent thirty years helping people in need
D．he developed useful inventions with his team
小題2:Which of the following statements about Gadgil is TRUE?
A．He helped about 125,000 people in India.
B．He spent lots of money on his inventions.
C．He used his knowledge to help people in need.

A．They can sell stoves to make a living.
B．They can save both time and money.
C．They can be protected from diseases.
D．They can cook their food easily.

Do you ever find yourself getting really unhappy for almost no reason? Or suddenly feeling down without knowing why? Going from sadness to anger to joy in a matter of minutes can make many teens feel as though they're losing control. But why is the feeling so common among teens?
Maybe you're starting a new school and not able to see old friends as much. Getting good grades or wanting to be better in sports or other activities can be a concern (關(guān)注)for many teens.
Being accepted by friends is important. Teens also may notice, for the first time, a sense of distance from parents and family. You may feel you want to be on your own and make your own decisions, but it can also seem a bit lonely at times.
Another important cause for mood swings is biology. When puberty（青春期）begins, the body starts producing hormones（荷爾蒙）. These hormones cause physical changes in the body. But in some people, they also seem to cause emotional(情緒的)changes.
Here are some things you can do that might make those bad moods a bit easier to deal with.
Recognize you're not alone. Although not every teen experiences mood changes to the same degree, they are common.
Talk to people you trust. Friends can help each other by realizing that they're not alone in their feelings. Talking to parents is important, too. Parents can share their own experiences dealing with bad moods. Teachers are often good resources and a doctor can help to answer questions about development.
Get enough sleep. Though it can be hard to find enough time, getting enough rest is very important. Being tired can lead to more sadness.
Create. Taking part in some kinds of activities, like building something out of wood, or starting an art or music piece. Writing can help you organize and express your thoughts and feelings. Get your thoughts on paper. Do the same thing with paint, music, or other art forms. Put your feelings into your artwork.

小題1:When puberty begins, many teens feel__________.
A．unhappyB．a(chǎn)ngryC．joyfulD．emotional
小題2:_______may not make some teens be in bad moods.
A．Study pressureB．Getting good grades
C．The sense of distance from parentsD．Missing old friends
小題3: It’s easier to deal with your mood changes by ___________.
①realizing they are common     ②explaining your feelings to people you trust
③playing computer games        ④being creative
⑤breaking school rules         ⑥getting enough sleep
A．①②③④B．①②③⑥
C．①②④⑥D．①③④⑤
