About six years ago，I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City    36    a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table．I couldn’t  help overhearing parts of their conversation．At one point the woman asked：“So，    37    have you been？”And the boy，who    38    more than seven or eight years old， 39   ，”To tell you the truth，I’ve been feeling a little depressed（ 憂郁）lately．”

His words   40  in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing．   41   I can remember，my friends and I didn’t  find out we were“depressed”    42 we were in high school．

The evidence of   43   in children has increased steadily in recent years．Children don’t  seem 44    any more．Children speak，dress，and behave more like adults than they used to．

   45   this is good or bad is difficult to say，but it certainly is different．Childhood   46   it once was no longer exists．Why？

Human development is based not only on born biological states，but    47    patterns of access to social knowledge． Movement from one social role from another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status．Children have always been taught adults’    48    ，but slowly and in stages: traditionally，we tell the sixth graders things we keep   49    the fifth graders．

In the last thirty years，  50   ，a secret - disclosing machine called television   51   installed in 98 percent of American families．It passes information， and indiscriminately（不加區(qū)別地），to all viewers alike，without considering they are children or adults．Unable to resist the temptation，many children    52    their attention from printed texts to the less challenging，more vivid moving pictures．

Communication through print，as a matter of fact，    53    a great deal of control over the social information   54     children have access．Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced．Children must read    55    books before reading complex materials．

Many people like the feeling of the gentle wind in spring. Many like to see the falling leaves dancing in the wind in autumn. But sometimes, when the wind becomes a storm, it can be very destructive (毀滅性的).

A series of such storms struck the US last month and caused very serious damage and human pain.

Every year, major storms cause many problems around the world. There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful forces of nature. But new techniques are helping scientists to predict how, when, and where big storms will happen. The more exact scientists’ warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms.

Predictions are improving. “We’ve gotten better over the years, especially the last few years,” says Phil Klotzback, a scientist at an American university. How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction. “For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right,” Klotzback says.

    First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air. As it rises, the air containing drops of water cools and turns back into liquid. This process gives off heat. This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase. It drives the formation of a hurricane.

If wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour, the system is called a “ tropical storm”, and it gets a name. At 75 miles per hour, it becomes a hurricane. Hurricanes that hit the US start when a thunderstorm forms off the coast Africa. Storms also develop over tropical waters in other parts of the world.

On average, 60 or 70 storms form off Africa every year. About 10 of them get names. There are usually about six hurricanes. Two tend to be very big, with winds of 115 miles per hour or a bit higher.

The hurricane season lasts from June to November. Ninety percent of all hurricanes hit in August, September and October.

According to the text, hurricanes usually ________.

 A. form off the coast of Africa and America

 B. hit parts of the world in summer and autumn

 C. cause sea winds to rise and blow over the sea

 D. strike the US but cause no damage

The underlined word “evaporates” (in Paragraph 5) probably means “________”

   A. begins to move      B. gets lost      C. becomes hot   D. changes into a gas

Which of the following about the information of a hurricane is the correct order?

   a. The ocean water evaporates and goes into the air.

   b. Heat creates energy and causes winds to increase.

   c. The vapor cools.                        

d. The ocean water is warm enough.

   e. The vapor changes back into liquid.       

f. This course gives out heat.

   A. a, d, e, b, c, f       B. a, b, c, f, d, e      C. d, a, c, e, f, b     D. d, a, b, c, e, f
