Name: Sam Champion

Hot job: TV Weatherman

Where: WABC-TV, New York City

When you were a child, did you plan to forecast wind, rain, and snow on TV?

I want to be a foreign journalist. I took courses in weather science at Eastern Kentucky University, but I majored in broadcasting news.

How did you finally become a weatherman?

My first job in the early 80’s was at the local TV station in Paducah, Kentucky. I did everything from turning on the lights in the morning to writing and delivering morning news. I put together weather forecasts, and become interested in them.

Back then, how did you forecast weather?

Independent companies collected computer information that showed, for example, how a single weather system might split into snow or snow mixed with rain. The information was often opposite and the job of a weather man was to study the information and make the best educated guess about the storm.

Has weather forecasting changed much with new technology?

Advanced computers, satellites, and Doppler radar(sound waves used to track storms) have made forecasting more exact. But we still know very little about how weather is shaped. So far, we just have theories.

Any advice for children who’d like to become weather scientists?

To me, weather is the most exciting field in the world. There are still so many more questions about weather than answers. After all, if we can’t foresee floods or hurricanes, how safe a society are we? Weather forecasting is wide open for scientists who love to solve puzzling problems. The next generation of meteorologists will unlock many of Earth science, and study meteorology in college.

Thanks, Sam

There was once an 11-year-old boy who went fishing every time he went to an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.

On the day before bass (巴斯魚) season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure(魚餌) and put it into the lake. Suddenly the boy felt something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.

The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm — two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.

“Dad!” cried the boy. “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats could be seen in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.

Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water.

The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.

That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.

And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish ... again and again ... every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.

1.How did the father feel when he saw his son skillfully pulling a big fish out of the water?

A. Proud. B. Nervous.

C. Curious. D. Shocked.

2.From the text we know that ______.

A. the father didn’t love his son

B. the father always disagreed with his son

C. the father disliked the huge fish

D. the father was firm and stubborn

3.The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because ______.

A. they might catch a big fish there

B. he remembered the moral lesson from his father

C. he wanted to remember his father

D. their children enjoyed fishing there

4.What does the author want to show in the story?

A. It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.

B. An ethical decision is not difficult to make.

C. It is hard to tell right from wrong sometimes.

D. Fishing helps you to make right ethical decisions.

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

It all started when my sister was invited to speak at a three?day conference in Budapest. Mom and I thought we would join her because she was not able to take her husband or daughter. After all, how often does a trip to Budapest come along? We began planning a week long trip to Budapest. It was the first visit to Europe for all three of us, and there was so much we wanted to see that we couldn't narrow our base destinations down any further than Venice, Budapest, Rome, Sorrento and Florence.

We immediately applied for passports. We looked over maps and through books trying to decide exactly where to stay. I spent hours and days researching hotels, transportation, museums. We waited and waited to book tickets so we had a starting point on our dates. Finally everything fell into place and we decided our plans. The excitement continued to build day by day.

I researched packing tips online and my list of necessities grew. Mom and I compared notes for weeks trying to decide what to wear, what to bring, what to buy ... in the end, however, we just chose whatever was comfortable and to be honest, mainly wore the same couple of clothes day after day, washing them in the hotel as necessary. The only good clothes we took were for the ballet in Budapest. And thank goodness for that — I can't imagine lugging (攜帶) a larger suitcase on and off during the journey to Florence, and some other places.

The big day arrived and with bags packed and repacked, it was off to the airport for our first European adventure!

1.The first paragraph mainly tells the readers ________.

A. the author's sister would attend a conference in Budapest

B. how the author planned their trip to Budapest

C. where the author's family would go to travel

D. the author and her mom and sister would visit Europe

2.The author planned to ________ in Budapest.

A. watch a ballet

B. buy some good clothes

C. attend the conference

D. visit her sister

3.They made the following preparations for the travel EXCEPT that they ________.

A. applied for passports

B. booked hotels online

C. searched for advice on travel online

D. wrote down what they would carry along

4.We can learn from the text that ________.

A. they would carry a larger suitcase during the journey

B. the author's sister lived in some European country then

C. they would certainly visit Venice, Budapest, Rome, Sorrento and Florence

D. the preparation for the journey cost them hours

Four ways to Improve Your Memory

Have you ever imagined the benefits that a good memory can bring to you? Being able to remember important pieces of information can give you a powerful advantage in your life.1.. Here are four ways to improve your memory:

Make the most of your imagination. 2.For example, to remember where you have left your car keys, pretend to hold a camera to your eyes, focus on the scene, and click the image into your memory when you are leaving. This technique works with almost everything you want to remember, as the roll of films in your mind is endless.

Try to practice. There are lots of ways to do this: try to remember which day of the week your last birthday was. 3. Try to remember all the ping-pong finalists and the winner. If you can try to remember the scores as well, it would be even better to practice. It won’t be long before your daily practice pays off, making your mind sharper and more adaptable.

Get physical exercise. Physical exercise not only improves memory but also helps you think faster. A combination of mental and physical activity can protect your memory. It is known that the brain’s processing speed gradually slows as you age. 4._

5._Mental exercises are as important as physical ones to keep one’s brain power. Take up word games like crossword puzzles. Memorize favorite poems and read challenging books or articles that encourage you to expand your interests. Any activity that requires you to think and concentrate will challenge your brain. And your brain will develop better on the challenge.

A. Exercise your brain.

B. Play more games.

C. Fortunately, staying physically fit can avoid some of the effects of age on the brain.

D. In fact, the ability to remember things is necessary to your success.

E. Then extend this to the birthdays of all your family members.

F. An easy way to remember something is to “take a picture”.

G. If you are right-handed , try to brush your teeth with your left hand.
