阅读理解

　　For more than two days in September 1974, the People of Honduras shut their windows，locked their doors and covered in their homes．Fifi was outside．and they were frightened．

　　By the time Fifi had left，8000 people were dead．Fifi wasn’t a pet dog as the name suggests．It was a hurricane(飓风)，one of the most destructive^⒂natural phenomena(现象)in the world．

　　Why did we give human names to storms and hurricanes?

　　We didn’t always．Two hundred years ago，many hurricanes in the Caribbean were named after the saint’s(基督教徒的)day on which the storm occurred．Later，storms were known by the name of the city where they came ashore．

　　Meteorologists(气象学家)then tried naming storms after the latitude(纬度)and longitude(经度)where they occurred．

　　Finally，in 1953，hurricanes started getting people’s names－specifically，female names．Male names were added in 1979．

　　There are six sets of names for what the experts call “Atlantic tropical cyclones”(热带风暴)．

　　Each list is used every six years and consists of 2l names，starting with every letter but Q, U, X, Y and Z．The names alternate between male and female．

　　A storm won’t get a name until its winds reach 39 mph or about 62.4 kph，at which point it becomes a tropical storm．At 74 mph or 118.4 kph it’s declared a hurricane．

　　The 126 names on the list are used only for storms that form off the Atlantic coast of the US．There are separate lists for the Pacific．

　　So what happens if a hurricane should cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific?It’s happened before．The storm just gets a new name and sometimes a new sex．

　　Max Mayfield is the director of the National Hurricane Centre，headquartered in Miami，Florida．He’s in charge of(负责)picking new names for storms off the Atlantic coast．

　　He doesn’t do it alone, though．His counterparts in two dozen other countries in Caribbean， Central America and North America vote on what names will replace retired names．

It was the first day of second grade, and Sarah had been looking forward to this moment. The night before, she laid out her favorite clothes: a white coat and a bright yellow shirt.
When having breakfast, Sarah dropped some food on her shirt, so she had to change into her second-best clothes, blue jeans and a Jonas Brothers T-shirt.
After breakfast Sarah rushed to catch the school bus and when she was just reaching the door the bus driver opened it. The door hit right in Sarah’s face and blood dripped from her nose. The driver wanted to send her home, but she refused, "It is the most important day of the year! I can’t miss it!"
Before classes, Sarah went to her favorite swing. When rising high, she saw her best friend little Jack. She let go of the swing and waved to him with one hand. Unfortunately, she flew out of the swing and landed hard on the sand, breaking a leg and an arm. As she lay in the sand, she noticed a shiny thing on the ground beside her. With her good hand she took it.
When Sarah’ mother rushed into the ward she was surprised by what she saw: her girl was lying in bed with an arm and a leg in the splint (夹板), a broken nose, and blood stains on her second-best clothes. Expecting to see her child crying, she was confused when she saw a big, bright smile on Sarah’s face.
"Sarah, look at you!" her mother cried. "You were hurt so badly and why are you smiling?"
"Look, Mommy, I found a diamond!" Sarah laughed.
Life can be like that. It can be tough, even painful sometimes. But there are always treasures that make the pain worth suffering.
【小题1】When Sarah went to school, she was wearing ________________.

A．a white coat and a Jonas Brothers T-shirt

B．blue jeans and a yellow shirt

C．a white coat and a yellow shirt

D．blue jeans and a Jonas Brothers T-shirt

【小题2】Sarah fell off the swing because _____________.

A．she seldom played swing

B．she rose too high

C．she waved one hand to her friend

D．she was pulled down by her friend

【小题3】 When Sarah’s mother saw her in the ward she felt _______________.

A．upset

B．puzzled

C．relaxed

D．disappointed

【小题4】Which of the following can be used to describe Sarah’s story?

A．Every cloud has a silver lining.

B．Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.

C．First think, then act.

D．No pains, no gains.
