My cousin Li Hong and I went on trip to my uncle’s last Sunday.We were riding along a hillside then suddenly some big stones were rolled down and knocked down our bikes.Li Hong’s legs got serious hurt and so was mine.We couldn’t move a bit.Fortunately，I saw some farmers ahead.Waving our hand，we cried for help like crazy.On hearing us，they ran to the spot as fast as they could.Thanks to their help，we were all sent to a nearby hospital and received the treatment on time.Although we do not know about their names，we feel they like our dear big brothers and sisters.

61.______________

Earthquake is a kind of terrible natural disaster.An earthquake happens when rocks break and slip along a fault (断层) in the earth.Energy is given out of during an earthquake in several forms，including as movement along the fault，as heat，and as seismic waves that spread out from the  “source” in all directions and cause the ground to shake，sometimes hundreds of kilometers away.

62. ______________

Most earthquake damage is caused by ground shaking.In general，large earthquakes produce ground motions with large amplitudes (振幅)．Large earthquakes also produce strong shaking over much larger areas than do smaller earthquakes.The strongest earthquakes that happen can result in ground crack，causing damage to bridges，dams，roads，railroad tracks，and the foundations of buildings.Another major cause of damage is the fires that burn the buildings when power lines fall and gas lines crack.In addition，undersea earthquakes can cause great damage to seashore.

63. ______________

A common misunderstanding is that of a hole in the ground that opens during an earthquake.This has nothing to  do  with  reality  but is  Hollywood’s  films  of earthquakes.After a strong earthquake，some cracks may be seen on the ground.These are not faults，nor are the cracks ready to close up again.Theses cracks are probably due to soil settlement  (沉降)  caused by the ground shaking.

64. ______________

Earthquakes happen all over the world.However,90% of the world’s earthquakes happen along these plate boundaries  (边界)．The  “Ring of Fire”  circling the Pacific Ocean，and including Canada’s west coast，is one of the most active areas in the world.

65. ______________

With the present state of scientific knowledge，it is not possible to predict (预测) earthquakes and certainly not possible to predict their exact time and location.They are greatly different from one place to another，according to many factors which are poorly understood.However，a great deal of research is being done to develop correct prediction methods.

Everybody is afraid of something.That’s what more than 1,700 kids told us when we asked them about fears and scary stuff.We gave kids a list of 14 scary things and asked which one frightened them most.Here are the top 5 answers from our survey (调查)：① Scary movies and TV shows；②Scary dreams；③Thunderstorms，hurricanes(飓风)；and other horrible weather；④War and terrorism (恐怖行动)；⑤Sounds heard at night.

But not everyone is afraid of the same thing.And what makes one person scared can be of no big deal for someone else.Plenty of kids said their biggest fear wasn’t on our list.

What is fear?

Fear is a feeling that eyeryone has—it’s programmed into all of us—and that’s a good thing because fear is there to protect us.We’re born with a sense of fear so we can react to something that could be dangerous.The baby cries，and their mom comes over to comfort him or her，helping the baby feel safe and OK again.

Real vs.Pretend

The best way to get over a fear is to get more information about it.As kids get older，they understand more and start seeing the difference between what is real and unreal.So when William’s imagination leads him to think of witches，he can tell himself，“Wait a minute.They’re only pretend things.I don’t need to worry about them.”

The same goes for the dark.A kid’s imagination can start playing tricks when the lights go out.What’s under my bed？Is that a thief I hear？With the help of a parent，kids can get more comfortable in the dark.Using a nightlight or shining a flashlight under the bed to see that there’s nothing there can help kids fight that fear.

58．What did the writer find out from the survey?

A．Some people have never experienced fear.

B．Kids don’t like watching scary movies.

C．All people are afraid of something.

D．People often cry loudly when they are scared.

59．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The list of fears is not complete.

B．The things people fear are of no big deal.

C．Kids have more fears than people think.

D．People are afraid of different things.

60．In the writer’s opinion，________.

A．having a sense of fear is not a bad thing

B．babies have a weak sense of fear

C．fear is not something that we are born with

D．not all people can react to dangerous things

The mom had died when the rescuers found her after the terrible earthquake.She was covered by a destroyed house.Through gaps (缝隙) of those ruins，the rescuers could see her last posture (姿势)．It was something like an ancient person who was kowtowing (叩头)，but it just looked strange because she was out of shape by pressure.

The rescuers confirmed her death by touching her through the gaps of the ruins.They shouted at the ruins again and again，knocked the bricks using various tools，but no reply inside.

Then the rescuing team went to the next building.Suddenly the leader ran back，calling “Come here.” He came to the body，put his hands under the woman，feeling and touching，then shouted loudly and gladly，“There is someone，a baby，still living.”

Through some efforts，rescuers cleaned up the ruins which blocked her.Under her body lay her baby，who was covered by a small red quilt (棉被)．He was about 3 or 4 months’ old.Since well protected by his mother’s body，he was safe.He was in a deep sleep when the rescuer carried him out，and his lovely and peaceful face warmed everyone around him.The doctor，along with the rescuing team，took the baby out of the quilt to check if the baby was all right，and he found there was a mobile phone in  the quilt.The doctor looked at the screen; a written  message was already there：“My dear baby if you could  live，don’t forget how much I love you.” As a doctor，he experienced much of this type of separation；but at this moment，he cried.The mobile phone was passed，and every person who saw this message shed (流出) tears.

It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation，it turns into an argument.We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly，my mother will push the conversation into World War Ⅲ.She’ll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor.And much to her disappointment，I don’t want to do any job related to science，either.In fact，when I was pushed to say that I planned to major (主修) in English and communications，she nearly had a heart attack.

“Why can’t you be like my co­worker’s son？” she bemoans all the time.Her co­worker’s son received a four­year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer.I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co­worker’s son.I can’t be like him.I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community，write until the sun goes down，and most of all，wants to achieve a career because I love it，not because of fame (名声) or salary.

I understand why my mother is worried about my future major.I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours.She leaves the house around 6∶30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm.However，I want her to know that by becoming a doctor，it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful.I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

50. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?

A．The writer’s studies.                           B．The writer’s future job.

A．doesn’t want the writer to major in English

B．doesn’t think the writer should be a doctor

C．gets along very well with the writer

D．doesn’t think working in the science field is a good idea

When I came to Cincinnati as an au pair (家庭打工留学生)，a lot of things there were different from what I knew.My host family lived in a huge house I could only describe as a  “castle”．In Germany I had lived in a small apartment together with my mom.Soon I found out that the “castle” was actually rather small in our neighborhood.

Everybody there was very friendly and polite.They greeted you    when they were walking by at least 3 feet away from you.They must not have seen a German au pair before，for most people I met asked me all kinds of questions about Germany.I enjoyed answering their various strange questions.I made a lot of friends and I started to hang out with them.

Of course，there were a numbor of new things，and it took me the whole year to find them all out.I never got homesick.Perhaps it was because I did not have too many negative (负面的) experiences and felt loved and welcomed there.

However，I had undergone some painful experience back in Germany.I was frustrated by the way people would run me over and not even say “Sorry.” Taking up my studies at the TU­Dresden I felt lonely.Everybody here seemed to be withdrawn  (离群的)  and I missed ewerything I had in Cincinnati.Germany was so “cold”．I found it so much harder to make new friends.After six months I got a roommate and only two good friends.I also flew back to Cincinnati several times for long periods.I felt that without those visits I was not able to make it.

Now I am over this German culture shock.It almost took me an entire year.I am still going back and forward between Dresden and Cincinnati four times a year.
