The teacher must be 1 . “Yes, you will all be searching for your future 2 . Each of you will have to 3 someone in your field, plus give and oral report.”

Each day in her class, Virginia DeView reminded us about this. Finally, I picked print journalism. This 4 I had to go to interview a true-blue newspaper reporter. I was extremely nervous. I sat down in front of him 5 able to speak. He looked at me and said, “Did you bring a pencil or pen?” I shook my head.

“How about some 6 ?” I shook my head again.

Finally, I thought he realized I was 7 , and I got my first big tip as a 8 . “Never, never go anywhere without a pen and paper. You never know what you’ll run into.” After a few days, I gave my oral report totally from 9 in class. I got an A on the entire project.

A

In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries (神秘的事物) of nature. Some ancient peoples believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons (武器) of the gods.

In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs (灯泡).

The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷针). This device (装置物) protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.

Modern science has discovered that one stroke (闪击) of lightning has a voltage (电压) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.

Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average (平均数) of one person every day. The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress. Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.

With lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry? 1. People once thought lightning came from ________.

A. the sky B. the gods C. the earth D. nature 2. According to the passage what do you think all buildings need?

A. Metal fences. B. Electricity. C. lightning rods. D. Machines.

3. Lightning can travel ________.

A. as quickly as water B. not so quickly as electricity C. at very low speed D. at very high speed 4. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. In the U.S about one person per day dies from lightning. B. The Empire State Building frequently gets hit by lightning. C. Swimming during a thunder storm is a good idea.

D. A closed car is the best place to be during an electrical storm. 5. Lightning is probably ______ to man.

A. useful B. kind C. useless D. friendly

The fiddler crab (蟹) is a living clock. It indicates(=shows) the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crab’s changing colour follows a regular twenty—four hour plan that exactly matches the daily rhythm (节奏) of the sun.

Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun’s rays, changing colour according to the amount of light strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight, the crab’s skin colour continued to change exactly on time.

This characteristic (特性) probably developed gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies. After millions of years it has become completely regulated (受控制) inside the living body of the crab.

The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before. From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides (潮水). The crab’s period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was cought!

1. The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes colour ______.

A in a regular 24—hour rhythm B. in answer to the sun’s rays C. at low tide D. every fifty minutes 2. The crab’s changing colour ______.

A. tells the crab what time it is B. protects the crab from the sunlight and enemies

C. keeps the crab warm D. is of no real use 3. When the fiddler crabs were kept in the dark , they ______.

A. did not change colour B. changed colour more quickly

C. changed colour more slowly D. changed colour on the same timetable 4. The crab’s colour—changing ability was probably developed ______. A. in the process of evolution (进化) B. over millions of years C. by the work of biologists D. both A and B 5. The best title for this selection would be ______.

A. The Sun and the Tides B. Discoveries in Biology C. A scientific Study D. A Living Clock
