10.A walker seriously injured in a mountain-top lightning strike which killed two others is showing signs of improvement,the police have said.A major rescue operation was performed on Sunday following two strikes which hit the Brecon Beacons,South Wales.Two men died,while two others were taken to hospital.
A police spokeswoman said,"A man in a serious condition in hospital,following simultaneous (同時(shí)發(fā)生的) incidents in the Brecon Beacons,has now improved and he is recovering.Officers are continuing to get in touch with the next of relatives of the dead men and enquiries are ongoing.All men were believed to be from England."
Mark Jones,of the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team,described the lightning strike as a freak accident,and something he had not been called out to in 30 years of service.
The walking group Ramblers Cymru said that while incidents involving thunder and lightning were rare,electrical storms should be taken seriously by walkers.
The organisation's delivery officer,Elly Hannigan Popp,said,"We'd advise everyone to check the weather forecast before starting a walk.If you hear thunder,see lightning or if your hair stands on end,postpone activities even if the sky looks blue and clear.Lightning will strike as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall.Lightning can strike the same place repeatedly-especially tall,pointed,isolated objects."
"If there is no shelter you should keep moving.And if you become the tallest object,crouch (蹲) in the open twice as far away from the nearest pointed object as it is tall.Make yourself as small as possible,stay on your toes and keep your heels together,as it will allow electricity to go up one foot,through the heels and back into the ground through the other."

29.What can we learn about the victims of the incident?C
A.Both of the injured men are recovering slowly,
B.The bodies of the two men haven't been found.
C.The four men involved may be from the same country.
D.The police cannot contact the two dead men's relatives.
30.Why did the author quote the police spokeswoman in Paragraph 2?D
A.Because the accident is very serious.
B.To announce where the victims come from.
C.Because the police are looking into the accident.
D.To tell the readers some facts of the incident.
31.What do the last two paragraphs tell us?D
A.Harm done by lightning.
B.Warnings from a delivery officer.
C.First aid in a lightning incident.
D.Safety tips on a lightning strike.

5."Have a nice day!"may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression.When my friend Maxie says"Have a nice day"with a smile,I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me.I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
"Have a nice day.Next!"This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door.The words come out in the same tone (腔調(diào)) with a fixed procedure.They are spoken at me,not to me.Obviously,the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business.
The expression in one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other.Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting.As soon as you hear it,you know the meeting is at an end.Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say."Oh,you just had a tooth out?I'm terribly sorry,but have a nice day."
The expression can be pleasant.If a stranger says"Have a nice day!"to you,you may find it heart-warming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere,meaningless social custom at times,there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting.The salesgirl,the waitress,the teacher,and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day.But in a strange and comfortable way,it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that much.While the expression may not often be sincere,it is always spoken.The point is that people say it all the time when they like.

33.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?D
A.The salesgirl is impolite.
B.The salesgirl is angry.
C.The salesgirl cares about the author.
D.The salesgirl says the words as a routine.
34.By saying 44 Have a nice day!",a stranger mayA.
A.try to be polite to you                                                       
B.express thanks to you
C.give his blessing to you                                              
D.share his happiness with you
35.What is the best title of the passage?D
A.Have a Nice Day-a Polite Ending of a Conversation
B.Have a Nice Day-a Pleasant Gesture
C.Have a Nice Day-a Heart-warming Greeting
D.Have a Nice Day-a Social Custom.

15.Benefits of readingThe benefits of reading start with the first book a baby hears and continue into childhood and throughout the child's life.Here are some reasons why reading is important.
Reading teaches children about the world around them.(36)G They are exposed to ways of life,ideas and beliefs about the world which may be different from those which surround them.This builds a store of background knowledge,which helps younger children learn to read confidently.
(37)BWhen we read,our brains translate the descriptions we read of people,places and things into pictures.When we're reading a story,we're also imagining how the characters are feeling.We use our own experiences to imagine how we would feel in the same situation.
Children who read do better at school.And they don't just do better at subjects like reading,English and history.(38)E
Reading is a great form of entertainment!A paperback (平裝的) book or an e-reader doesn't take up much space so you can take it anywhere and you'll never be lonely or bored if you have a book in your bag.(39)F
Reading relaxes the body and calms the mind.(40)CThe constant movement,flashing lights and noise are quite stressful for our brains.When we read,we read in silence and the black print on a white page is much less stressful for our eyes and brains.

A.Reading improves concentration.
B.Reading develops a child's imagination.
C.We seem to have forgotten how to relax and how to be silent.
D.Children learn new words and absorb information as they read.
E.They do better at all subjects and they do better all the way through school.
F.You can read while waiting for a friend or during a flight delay at an airport.
G.By reading,children learn about people,places and events outside their own experience.

2.Dear Joe,
It has been a long time since we meet last time.How's everything going?
I use to be a happy boy.As I grow up day by day,I find life is not as relaxed as before.How I miss the days which I didn't have so much homework.I could watching TV,read magazines or do sports.But now,my parents don't allow me do anything except my lessons.They think it is a waste of time.They say,"You've grow up,you should work hard to achieve your dreams.''I know they love her and all these are good for me.But I feel stressed,not knowing how to do next.Luckily,my head teacher understands me.She tells me that growing up is a long way.Facing growing pains,I have been learnt a lot.What about you,Joe?
