  Yellowstone is the United States' first and most famous national park. This large wilderness area is very high in the Rocky Mountains of the northwestern US. It is bigger than the smallest state in the US.

  Yellowstone became the world's first national park in 1872.

  Yellowstone has many different kinds of unusual scenery:Although millions of people visit the park, the land remains unchanged-still a wilderness. The valley of the Yellowstone River has beautiful coloured rocks and three large waterfalls. In the early morning or evening, visitors sometimes see large deer-like animals, or buffalo(水牛)eating grass along the shores of Lake Yellowstone. The high mountains around Yellowstone are covered with evergreen forests.

  Yellowstone Park has many areas with hot springs. These are caused by heat from the hot centre of the earth. Old Faithful is the most famous. Every 70 minutes, old Faithful sends hot water about 150 feet high into the air.

  Here, hot spring water runs down over rocks into deep pools. It looks rather like a wonderful white cake.

  When you visit Yellowstone, why not live like a cowboy? You can stay at an Old West country hotel. You'll enjoy typical cowboy food outdoors. You can ride a horse along one of the many paths or tralils.

  There are over 1,000 miles of trails around Yellowstone. If you like excitement, take a boat trip down the fast Snake River, or spend a quiet summer day fishing by a river or a blue mountain lake.

  In winter, Yellowstone Park is covered with heavy snow, but visitors still come to skate. With clouds of steam above them and snow all around, Yellowstone's hot springs look even more wonderful.

  Teaching second grade is always a challenge.Each student arrives at school with his own needs and difficulties.One year a student called Billy   1   me with his behavior as well as his academic requirements.He struggled daily with his   2   emotions and often became angry or violent.I knew that, to make   3   progress, his emotions needed controlling.

  One   4   I tried to help Billy was to have him come directly into the classroom when he arrived at school.Billy’s mom would   5   me to alert(警告)me to a particularly emotional morning at home.Then, I would focus on   6   his anger and calming him down before the other students arrived.

  One week our class was studying   7  .I thought one way to bring learning into the classroom was to bring my dog Rocky to school for the day.

  Throughout the day, Billy never left Rocky’s side, feeding him, being gentle with him and even   15   the other students while Rocky was sleeping.

  Billy was known for doing anything he could to avoid   16  , but on this day he found a good dog story,“Clifford’s Puppy Days,”and read it to Rocky.How   17   I was at the sight of Billy reading happily!My little dog was able to   18   Billy’s day from one of anger and frustration to one of laughter, gentleness and   19

We often hear the phrase: "You've a greater chance of being struck by lightning." It is used to describe something that hasn't got much chance of happening. However, the common saying undermines(掩盖) the very real dangers of lightning.
Last Friday, at least 5 people were killed by lightning in Nepal(尼泊尔).
Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths during natural disasters in the US. The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those, 73 people die. There are more people killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes.
Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters.
So to raise awareness, the US has made June 22-28 National Lightning Safety Week. It aims to warn the public of the dangers of lightning and provide safety tips during thunderstorms.
"If you hear thunder, you are in danger of lightning," said Rocky Lopes, a disaster educator at the American Red Cross.
"Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any minute, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until after the storm has ended. The single most important thing to remember is to seek a hiding place," Lopes said.
Summer is the high time for lightning storms, so when lightning strikes across the sky, remember these safety tips:
Stop working, fishing, swimming or playing in open fields.
If you can count less than ten seconds between a thunder and a lightning flash, take cover inside the nearest building.
Do not stand under a tree.
Get off bicycles or motorcycles.
Crouch down(蹲下)if there is no hiding place.
Avoid open spaces, wire fences, metal objects and electrical objects such as hair driers.
【小题1】   The popular opinion about being struck by lightening is that ______.

A.there’s a greater chance for being killed by lightening than any other natural disaster
B.it is the most dangerous among all the natural disasters
C.the chance for a person to be struck by lightening is very small
D.it is impossible for people to be killed by lightening
【小题2】The average death rate of being struck by lightening in US is about _______.
A.18%B.50%     C.30%    D.73%
【小题3】thunder in             the open air______.
A.just stand by your bicycles and motorcycles
B.quickly find a place to go inside
C.count ten seconds between a thunder and a lightening
D.don’t have a hair drier in your hand
【小题4】According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A.There are more people killed by tornadoes and hurricanes than by lightening in US each year.
B.There are on average 5 persons killed by lightening in Nepal each day.
C.The death rate of being stuck by lightening is much higher than by other natural disasters.
D.The National Lightening Safety Week is made to warn the public against the lightening.
