A.Typhoons are among them.
B.In the eye，the wind does not move so fast.
C.Close all the windows and stay away from them.
D.For example，strong winds cause many problems.
E.More people were hurt and some others were missing.
F.When the air gets warm enough，it starts to move high up into the sky.
There are lots of natural disasters every year.　1. 　
Typhoons（台风） are some of the worst storms，usually around the Pacific Ocean（太平洋） and the South China Sea.Most happen in July，August and September.
How does a typhoon happen？When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun，it evaporates（蒸发） into the air.This makes the air hotter.　2. 　 Then cooler air around it rushes in.It fills the space that is left.After the air gets warmer，it starts to move quickly，making wind.The wind goes in circles and it keeps moving higher in the sky.The warmer the air gets，the quicker the wind moves.And when the wind moves faster than 30 metres a second，a typhoon begins.
A typhoon has two parts.One is called the “eye”.　3. 　 The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye.Here are the strongest winds and hardest rain.
Typhoons are very dangerous.In November 2013，Typhoon Haiyan killed 6，000 people in the Philippines.　4. 　
What should we do when a typhoon hits？
Stay inside.　5. 　
Try to bring all of your things inside.Strong winds could even blow away your bikes！
Listen to the radio or TV or search on the Internet for important information.
If you’re told to go to a safer place，do it right now.

A.So it may break dishes and even a pot.
B.Robots are not ready to control the world.
C.Robots will soon take the place of humans one day.
D.It’s also good at watering plants，and cleaning the floor.
E.Things in another video may be not so good as we expected.
F.Last year，the robot Mobile Aloha made by American scientists became popular online.
Do you have trouble with housework，such as cleaning tables or tidying your room？A new robot is here to help！　1. 　
In the videos online，we can see Mobile Aloha preparing dishes by itself，from cutting vegetables to beating eggs.　2. 　 It even knows how to wash clothes and fold them.
Sounds good？　3. 　 Mobile Aloha isn’t good at doing all the housework on its own.In fact，it needs to learn from human actions before doing each kind of housework.When the work changes，it can’t do well without a human “teaching” it.　4. 　 The robot can successfully move chairs 80 percent of the time，said the team after they did more research on it.For cooking dishes，it’s only 40 percent.
In fact，AI robots are good at tasks such as maths and playing chess，but they still have problems with simpler actions like cleaning.And it’s the same for Mobile Aloha.For example，if its body doesn’t move correctly，its arm may move too far to pick up a glass.“　5. 　” the team explained.
B
A.People may overshare in person.
B.Why not ask your friends in real life？
C.Oversharing on social media is common.
D.There are several reasons why people overshare.
E.For your own safety，you’d better stop oversharing.
F.However，it may cause trouble for you in the long run.
Social media is a great place to share articles，pictures or videos.But sometimes you might share too much information without even realising it.That’s called oversharing.
The term has become connected with social media，but it isn’t exclusive（独有的） to this platform.　1. 　 Imagine you meet someone for the first time.Within five minutes they might have shared every detail about their life with you.They might make you feel so uncomfortable that you want to stay away from them，right？
　2. 　 They might want to be friendly or break the ice.But in most cases，people who overshare just try to reach out to others，looking for a listening ear or a few words of advice.
So how can you know if you are oversharing？　3. 　 They would be happy to tell you if you’re posting too much.
There’s nothing wrong with sharing a picture，a video，thoughts，or opinions every few hours.　4. 　 Everything you share online stays there forever.Even if you delete it，someone must have seen it or simply talked about it to others.They may take advantage of the information one day.
　5. 　 How？One of the best ways is to think twice before you hit the “send” button.After all，it’s better to be safe than sorry.
C
A.Many people became homeless.
B.He has remained in Wenchuan ever since then.
C.Qi Jianfeng worked as a volunteer after the earthquake.
D.It was easy enough to save the people under the buildings.
E.Most volunteers have left Wenchuan，but Qi kept on staying here.
F.He never imagined what a big difference an earthquake made to his life.
In Yingxiu Town of Wenchuan，Qi Jianfeng attended the 10th anniversary（周年纪念日） of Wenchuan Earthquake with hundreds of doctors and volunteers.　1. 　
Wenchuan was hit by a strong earthquake on May 12th，2008.At least 69，000 people were killed and more than 375，000 were hurt.　2. 　 Soldiers and doctors quickly arrived in the area.At that time，they were saving people and rebuilding homes.As soon as Qi Jianfeng heard the news，he wanted to help those who had lost their families or homes.　3. 　 He also listened to the local people carefully so that they had someone to talk to.
Qi’s job lasted for three years.　4. 　 He saw the destroyed（毁坏的） place become a new town.The beautiful mountains and friendly people made him prefer to work here.He got a job and bought an apartment in Wenchuan.　5. 　 He hopes to help people especially the young receive earthquake training.
Although the earthquake broke many things apart，it brought everyone closer together.
D
A.Don’t be afraid of failing.
B.They both help you to see your aim in life.
C.You also have to like the hard and long training before you become one.
D.They know that they should not become engineers or physical scientists.
E.It’s a good plan to try as many ideas as possible when you are still young.
F.It is impossible to decide whether or not you like something until you have tried it.
Knowing about yourself means not only that you find out what you are good at and what you like，it also means discovering what you are not good at and what you don’t like.　1. 　
Although most students would be unhappy if they found that they had failed a very difficult physics course，they have in fact learned a lot about themselves.　2. 　 So failing can help a student to live a much happier life if he or she draws something out of the failing.They may then decide on their aim（目标） and choose the kind of work they would be fit for and they would like to do.
　3. 　 If you decide that you would like to play the piano，you need to take more than one lesson before you can know whether you are really interested in it or you are able to do well.It is not enough to want to be a great pianist.　4. 　 If you enjoy being a great pianist but hate the work，forget it.
　5. 　 And then you will be able to find out what your true interests are.

Time for the School Bus！
It’s back－to－school time！That means those yellow buses are getting ready to carry kids to their classrooms.Here are some rules on how to behave on the bus.
Be Friendly
It’s important to be polite to the bus driver.After all，they work hard to get you to school safely！When you get on the bus，say “hello” or smile.A smile can also help you make new friends on the bus.A friendly face might just make someone’s day！
Be Safe
The bus is not a playground.Always stay in your seat.Don’t walk around or make a lot of noise.This could distract the driver.If you have a phone，keep it quiet and wear your headphones.Don’t keep talking on the phone or stay glued to a screen.If you need help，tell the driver.
Keep the Bus Clean
No one likes a dirty bus！Don’t eat or drink on the bus，as spills（洒出） can happen.Also，never throw things on the bus.This can make a mess and distract the driver.Remember to always pick up after yourself when you get off the bus.
By following these rules，you’ll help make the bus ride enjoyable and safe for everyone！

March is the month to learn from Lei Feng in China.Lei Feng is probably the most famous Chinese soldier.He was born in 1940 in Changsha，Hunan.Lei Feng lost his parents when he was very young.His neighbours brought him up.He became a soldier at the age of 19.He helped many people during his 22 years of life.He passed away（去世） more than 60 years ago.But the “Lei Feng spirit” still inspires（激励） Chinese people to do volunteer work.
Lei Feng often spent his spare time and money helping people in need.He did many good things in his life.For example，he gave his own money to the parents of another soldier，and bought tickets for a woman he didn’t know without telling her his name.Lei Feng hardly ever spoke about what he did.After he died，people found his diary and learned about him.“There is a limit（限度） to one’s life，but no limit to serving the people，” Lei Feng once said in his diary.
Lei Feng is more than a name in China，he’s a symbol of selflessness（无私）.Lei Feng is a role model that all Chinese young people can learn from.No matter how times change，the spirit of Lei Feng will always be with us.

Until the beginning of July，there has been no rain in northern Italy for over 100 days.Add to that the high temperatures（温度），and the locals get very dry conditions.This is the most serious dry spell（干旱） for that area in the past 70 years.Because of this situation，the country’s longest river，the Po River is drying up！
This is bad news for several different reasons.The fresh water of the Po provides drinking water for northern Italy.Besides，farmers in this area need the water of the Po to keep their crops growing.What’s more，the flowing river water is used to create about half of the hydroelectric power（水力发电） for Italy.Its drying up means that more natural gas（天然气） will be used.It is bad for the environment.
There have been some interesting discoveries from this lack of rain，however.Between Florence and Milan，a long ship sunk（沉没） in 1943 appeared because of the low water levels of the river.Now many tourists and locals come to see this ship.A German tank has also appeared out of water near Mantua.At other places along the river，people can even walk on the sandy river bed.Although this may be interesting，people in Italy and around the world are hoping for the return of rain to refill the Po！
The Longest River in Italy is Drying up！
The 　1. 　 ·Rain hasn’t fallen in northern Italy for a long time. ·The temperatures are higher than usual.
Bad influences ·People have less drinking water from the Po. ·A lack（缺乏） of rain makes it 　2. 　 for crops to grow. ·People will use 　3. 　.It is bad for the environment.

Being fit is a way of saying a person eats well，does a lot of exercise，and has a healthy body.If you’re fit，your body works well and can do all the things you want to do.
Here are three ways you can follow if you’re a kid who wants to be fit.
Eat all kinds of foods，especially fruits and vegetables.
You may have a favourite food，but you’d better eat all kinds of foods.If you eat different foods，you can get the nutrients（营养物质） your body needs easily.You can choose at least two servings（份） of fruits and three servings of vegetables every day.
Listen to your body.
What does it feel like to be full？ When you’re eating，pay attention to how your body feels.
Sometimes，people eat too much.Eating too much can make you feel uncomfortable and can lead to unhealthy weight again.
Have less screen time
What’s screen time？ It’s time you spend watching TV or using the computer.The more time you spend on these sitting－down activities，the less time you get for sports，like playing basketball and swimming.Try to spend no more than two hours a day on watching TV or using the computer.
Parents can be a big help if you want to be a fit kid.Tell your parents about the rules you want to follow and maybe you can teach them a thing or two.
What should a kid do if he wants to be fit？
Being fit means a person who eats well，exercises a lot and has a healthy body.
1. 　 ways you can follow to keep fit ★You must eat 　2. 　 foods，especially fruits and vegetables. In this way，it’s easy for you to get the nutrients.For example，you can choose enough fruits and vegetables.
★You must listen to your body. Eating too much can make you 　3. 　 and lead to unhealthy weight again.
★You must spend less time on 　4. 　. If you spend less time watching TV or using the computer，you will get more time for sports.

The air became dirty too.The fire sent a lot of smoke and bad things into the air.People in the areas near the fire had to wear masks.If someone had trouble breathing，they were in even more danger.

Hello，everyone！Today I’d like to talk about how to protect ourselves in the face of the flood.
　　During the rainy season，we should listen to the weather report more often.This can help us have enough time to get ready before the flood comes.Moreover，we need to prepare things such as water and food in a bag.When we leave our home，we can take this bag and go out right away.　
　　When a flood happens，we must move to higher places as quickly as possible，stay there and wait for rescue workers to come.If the flood washes us away，we shouldn’t try to swim in the water.Instead，we should calm down and catch something made of wood，because it can help us get out of the water.　
　　All in all，we should be ready for the flood and keep calm during the flood.　
　　That’s all.Thank you！

D.For example，strong winds cause many problems.
E.More people were hurt and some others were missing.
F.When the air gets warm enough，it starts to move high up into the sky.
There are lots of natural disasters every year.　1. A　
Typhoons（台风） are some of the worst storms，usually around the Pacific Ocean（太平洋） and the South China Sea.Most happen in July，August and September.
How does a typhoon happen？When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun，it evaporates（蒸发） into the air.This makes the air hotter.　2. F　 Then cooler air around it rushes in.It fills the space that is left.After the air gets warmer，it starts to move quickly，making wind.The wind goes in circles and it keeps moving higher in the sky.The warmer the air gets，the quicker the wind moves.And when the wind moves faster than 30 metres a second，a typhoon begins.
A typhoon has two parts.One is called the “eye”.　3. B　 The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye.Here are the strongest winds and hardest rain.
Typhoons are very dangerous.In November 2013，Typhoon Haiyan killed 6，000 people in the Philippines.　4. E　
What should we do when a typhoon hits？
Stay inside.　5. C　
Try to bring all of your things inside.Strong winds could even blow away your bikes！

A.So it may break dishes and even a pot.
B.Robots are not ready to control the world.
C.Robots will soon take the place of humans one day.
D.It’s also good at watering plants，and cleaning the floor.
E.Things in another video may be not so good as we expected.
F.Last year，the robot Mobile Aloha made by American scientists became popular online.
Do you have trouble with housework，such as cleaning tables or tidying your room？A new robot is here to help！　1. F　
In the videos online，we can see Mobile Aloha preparing dishes by itself，from cutting vegetables to beating eggs.　2. D　 It even knows how to wash clothes and fold them.
Sounds good？　3. E　 Mobile Aloha isn’t good at doing all the housework on its own.In fact，it needs to learn from human actions before doing each kind of housework.When the work changes，it can’t do well without a human “teaching” it.　4. B　 The robot can successfully move chairs 80 percent of the time，said the team after they did more research on it.For cooking dishes，it’s only 40 percent.
In fact，AI robots are good at tasks such as maths and playing chess，but they still have problems with simpler actions like cleaning.And it’s the same for Mobile Aloha.For example，if its body doesn’t move correctly，its arm may move too far to pick up a glass.“　5. A　” the team explained.
B
A.People may overshare in person.
B.Why not ask your friends in real life？
C.Oversharing on social media is common.
D.There are several reasons why people overshare.
E.For your own safety，you’d better stop oversharing.
F.However，it may cause trouble for you in the long run.
Social media is a great place to share articles，pictures or videos.But sometimes you might share too much information without even realising it.That’s called oversharing.
The term has become connected with social media，but it isn’t exclusive（独有的） to this platform.　1. A　 Imagine you meet someone for the first time.Within five minutes they might have shared every detail about their life with you.They might make you feel so uncomfortable that you want to stay away from them，right？
　2. D　 They might want to be friendly or break the ice.But in most cases，people who overshare just try to reach out to others，looking for a listening ear or a few words of advice.
So how can you know if you are oversharing？　3. B　 They would be happy to tell you if you’re posting too much.
There’s nothing wrong with sharing a picture，a video，thoughts，or opinions every few hours.　4. F　 Everything you share online stays there forever.Even if you delete it，someone must have seen it or simply talked about it to others.They may take advantage of the information one day.
　5. E　 How？One of the best ways is to think twice before you hit the “send” button.After all，it’s better to be safe than sorry.
C
A.Many people became homeless.
B.He has remained in Wenchuan ever since then.
C.Qi Jianfeng worked as a volunteer after the earthquake.
D.It was easy enough to save the people under the buildings.
E.Most volunteers have left Wenchuan，but Qi kept on staying here.
F.He never imagined what a big difference an earthquake made to his life.
In Yingxiu Town of Wenchuan，Qi Jianfeng attended the 10th anniversary（周年纪念日） of Wenchuan Earthquake with hundreds of doctors and volunteers.　1. F　
Wenchuan was hit by a strong earthquake on May 12th，2008.At least 69，000 people were killed and more than 375，000 were hurt.　2. A　 Soldiers and doctors quickly arrived in the area.At that time，they were saving people and rebuilding homes.As soon as Qi Jianfeng heard the news，he wanted to help those who had lost their families or homes.　3. C　 He also listened to the local people carefully so that they had someone to talk to.
Qi’s job lasted for three years.　4. E　 He saw the destroyed（毁坏的） place become a new town.The beautiful mountains and friendly people made him prefer to work here.He got a job and bought an apartment in Wenchuan.　5. B　 He hopes to help people especially the young receive earthquake training.
Although the earthquake broke many things apart，it brought everyone closer together.
D
A.Don’t be afraid of failing.
B.They both help you to see your aim in life.
C.You also have to like the hard and long training before you become one.
D.They know that they should not become engineers or physical scientists.
E.It’s a good plan to try as many ideas as possible when you are still young.
F.It is impossible to decide whether or not you like something until you have tried it.
Knowing about yourself means not only that you find out what you are good at and what you like，it also means discovering what you are not good at and what you don’t like.　1. B　
Although most students would be unhappy if they found that they had failed a very difficult physics course，they have in fact learned a lot about themselves.　2. D　 So failing can help a student to live a much happier life if he or she draws something out of the failing.They may then decide on their aim（目标） and choose the kind of work they would be fit for and they would like to do.
　3. F　 If you decide that you would like to play the piano，you need to take more than one lesson before you can know whether you are really interested in it or you are able to do well.It is not enough to want to be a great pianist.　4. C　 If you enjoy being a great pianist but hate the work，forget it.
　5. E　 And then you will be able to find out what your true interests are.

Time for the School Bus！
It’s back－to－school time！That means those yellow buses are getting ready to carry kids to their classrooms.Here are some rules on how to behave on the bus.
Be Friendly
It’s important to be polite to the bus driver.After all，they work hard to get you to school safely！When you get on the bus，say “hello” or smile.A smile can also help you make new friends on the bus.A friendly face might just make someone’s day！
Be Safe
The bus is not a playground.Always stay in your seat.Don’t walk around or make a lot of noise.This could distract the driver.If you have a phone，keep it quiet and wear your headphones.Don’t keep talking on the phone or stay glued to a screen.If you need help，tell the driver.
Keep the Bus Clean
No one likes a dirty bus！Don’t eat or drink on the bus，as spills（洒出） can happen.Also，never throw things on the bus.This can make a mess and distract the driver.Remember to always pick up after yourself when you get off the bus.
By following these rules，you’ll help make the bus ride enjoyable and safe for everyone！

March is the month to learn from Lei Feng in China.Lei Feng is probably the most famous Chinese soldier.He was born in 1940 in Changsha，Hunan.Lei Feng lost his parents when he was very young.His neighbours brought him up.He became a soldier at the age of 19.He helped many people during his 22 years of life.He passed away（去世） more than 60 years ago.But the “Lei Feng spirit” still inspires（激励） Chinese people to do volunteer work.
Lei Feng often spent his spare time and money helping people in need.He did many good things in his life.For example，he gave his own money to the parents of another soldier，and bought tickets for a woman he didn’t know without telling her his name.Lei Feng hardly ever spoke about what he did.After he died，people found his diary and learned about him.“There is a limit（限度） to one’s life，but no limit to serving the people，” Lei Feng once said in his diary.
Lei Feng is more than a name in China，he’s a symbol of selflessness（无私）.Lei Feng is a role model that all Chinese young people can learn from.No matter how times change，the spirit of Lei Feng will always be with us.

Until the beginning of July，there has been no rain in northern Italy for over 100 days.Add to that the high temperatures（温度），and the locals get very dry conditions.This is the most serious dry spell（干旱） for that area in the past 70 years.Because of this situation，the country’s longest river，the Po River is drying up！
This is bad news for several different reasons.The fresh water of the Po provides drinking water for northern Italy.Besides，farmers in this area need the water of the Po to keep their crops growing.What’s more，the flowing river water is used to create about half of the hydroelectric power（水力发电） for Italy.Its drying up means that more natural gas（天然气） will be used.It is bad for the environment.
There have been some interesting discoveries from this lack of rain，however.Between Florence and Milan，a long ship sunk（沉没） in 1943 appeared because of the low water levels of the river.Now many tourists and locals come to see this ship.A German tank has also appeared out of water near Mantua.At other places along the river，people can even walk on the sandy river bed.Although this may be interesting，people in Italy and around the world are hoping for the return of rain to refill the Po！
