    　　Green is an important color in nature．It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees．It is also the color of most growing plants．

    　　Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing．Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished．For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation．In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角)had not yet developed．A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle．By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today－a person who is new in a job．

    　　Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb．The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds．A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well．You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died．

    　　The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains．The new plants produced much larger crops．The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs．

    　　Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒)．The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space．It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”．It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants．A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else．Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay rise and she does not．

    (1)

    When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometre-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.

    “Storm chasing (追赶)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.

    Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm chasing vacations during the storm season.

    Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure or excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm chasing. Sometimes you can sit round for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”

    However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on Earth.”

    36. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to 　　　　．

    　 A. head straight for the center of the storm　 B. get into the car for safety

    　 C. wait patiently for the storm to develop　　 D. collect information about a coming storm

    37. Beginners of storm chasing are advised 　　　　．

    　 A. not to drive in a heavy rain　　　　 B. to do it in an organized way

    　 C. not to get too close to a storm　　　 D. to spend more time on it in summer

    38. By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that 　　　　．

    　 A. storm chasing costs a lot of money　　 B. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting

    　 C. efforts in storm chasing are well paid　 D. a storm presents the greatest show on Earth

    39. What can we learn from the text? 　　　　．

    　 A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment

    　 B. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.

    　 C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world

    D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people.

    40. According to the passage, the right order in which the following things happen is_________.

    a. collect information about a coming storm

    b. get into their cars and go a long way for the area where the storm will be

    c. determine on the months between March and July

    d. be patient and waits for the storm to develop

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