Are you a man or a mouse? When people ask this question they want to know if you think you are a brave person or a coward. But you will never really know the answer to that question until you are tested in real life. Some people think they are brave, but when they come face to face with real danger, they act like cowards. Other people think of themselves as cowardly, but when they meet danger, they act like heroes.
Lenny Skutnik had always thought of himself as a nervous person. He got worried before examinations. He worried about his job and his health. All he wanted in life was to be safe and healthy. Then, on 15th January 1982, a plane crashed into the Potomac River in Washington. Lenny went to the river to see what was happening. Then he saw a woman in the ice-cold water. Suddenly Lenny did not feel afraid. He kept very calm and did a very courageous thing. He jumped into the Potomac, swam to the woman, and kept her head above the water. Seventyeight people died that day. Thanks to Lenny Skutnik, it was not seventy-nine.
When you are in a very dangerous situation and feel afraid, the body automatically produces a chemical in the blood. This chemical is called adrenalin(副肾素). With adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and are ready to fight or run away. However, when you are absolutely terrified, the body can produce too much adrenalin. When this happens, the muscles become very hard and you find that you cannot move at all. You are then paralysed with fear. That is why, when we are very frightened, we sometimes say that we are ‘petrified’. This word comes from the Greek word‘petros’which means‘stone’. We are so frightened we have become like stone.
1．According to the writer’s opinion, a brave person can be judged by ________.
[ ]
2．From what Lenny did , we can conclude that ________.
[ ]
A．Lenny had a good chance
B．Lenny liked swimming
C．Lenny was brave
D．Lenny wanted to be a hero
3．In great danger, a hero always keeps ________.
[ ]
4．Adrenalin in our body is ________.
[ ]
5．If a person’s body produces too much adrenalin, he will ________.
[ ]

2010 was the year the Earth struck back.
Earthquakes, heat waves, floods, volcanoes, super typhoons, blizzards(暴风雪), landslides(滑坡)and droughts
killed at least a quarter million people in 2010---the deadliest year in more than a generation. More people were killed worldwide by natural disasters this year than have been killed in terrorism attacks in the past 40 years combined.
“It just seemed like it was back-to-back (接二连三) and it came waves,” said Craig Fugate, who heads the US Federal Emergency Management Agency. It handled a record number of disasters in 2010.
“The term ' 100-year event ' really lost its meaning this year.”
And we have ourselves to blame most of the time, scientists and disaster experts say.
Even though many disasters seem accidental, the hand of man made this a particularly deadly, costly, extreme and strange year for everything from wild weather to earthquakes.
Poor construction and development practices make earthquake more deadly than they need be. More people live in poverty in vulnerable building (危房) in crowded cities. That means that when the ground shakes the river breaches(攻破), or the tropical cyclone (旋风) hits, more people die.
The January earthquake that killed well more than 220000 people in Haita is a perfect example. Port-au-Prince has nearly three times as many people, many of them living in poverty, and more poorly built shanties (棚户区) than it did 25 years ago. So had the same quake hit in 1985 instead of 2010, total deaths would have probably been in the 80 000 range, said Richard Olson, director of disaster risk reduction at Florida International University.
Climate scientists say Earth's climate also is changing thanks to man-made global warning, bringing extreme weather, such as heat waves and flooding.
The excessive (过多的) amount of extreme weather of 2010 is a clear sign of man-made global warning that climate scientists have long warned about. They calculate that the killer Russian heat wave ---setting a national record of 111 degrees --- would happen once every 100000 years without global warning.
Preliminary (之前的) data show that 18 counties broke their records for the hottest day ever.
White House science adviser John Holdren said we should get used to climate disasters or do something about global warning. "The science is clear that we can expect more and more of these kinds of damaging events unless and until society's emissions of heat-trapping (吸热的)gases and particles are sharply reduce."
1. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
A．How the Earth struck back in 2010. B. Why the Earth struck back.
C．How terrorism attacks struck. D. What natural disaster mean to us.
2.What does the underlined word "it" refer to in the third paragraph?
A． Earthquake. B. The Earth. C. 2010 D. Natural disaster.
3.What do the fifth, sixth and seventh paragraphs mainly tell us?
A. The reason why there were so mainly disasters in 2010.
B. The way that natural disasters happened.
C. The way that man built buildings.
D. The way that people lived.
4.What is the way to cut back on the number of natural disasters?
A. To build stronger houses.
B．To develop less.
C. To reduce the emissions of heat-trapping gases and particles greatly.
D. To forecast the happening of natural disasters correctly.
5.Why did the writer give the example of the earthquake that happened in Haiti?
A. To show more people's living in vulnerable building can cause more people to die in an earthquake.
B. To show Haiti is a poor country.
C．To show Port-au-Prince is too crowded.
D．To show man's forecast ability of an earthquake reduced.
