24、Choose the best answer:
Earthquake
Every 30 seconds there is an earthquake. But don't worry because most cannot be felt. Only a few big ones hurt people.
Many earthquakes happened in China, such as the big one in Sichuan. Thousands of people died in it. So it's important to know what to do when one hits. Here are some tips on how to stay safely in an earthquake.
If you are indoors during an earthquake, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you.
If you are outdoors, move to a clear place. Try to be away from trees, signs, buildings and streetlights. These could fall on you.
If you are in a shop and far from the door, don't try to run to outside and rush for exits. Everyone will be doing that and you'll find it hard getting out. Don't get into a lift during an earthquake. Just hide under some strong covers near you.
When an earthquake has ended, be careful because after-shocks may still happen. These are just as dangerous as the earthquake itself. So stay under the desk until you make sure it's safe to get up.
If you are at home and you smell gas, open the windows and get out of the building as quickly as you can. A gas line in your house may be broken. This could be very dangerous.
Weather
Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence and feelings. In August, it's hot and wet in the southern part of the USA. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the northeast and the middle-west, it is very hot sometimes and very cold sometimes. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 study by scientists showed that the IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often do worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But big people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.
Low air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is "good weather" for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.
Are you feeling sad, tired or forgetful today? It may be the weather's fault.

A.strong B.weak C.dangerous D.heavy
【2】If you are outdoors, it would be safe to __________.

25、When 1900 (not his real name) was a child, he was deeply impressed by the big war scenes in the movie Decisive Engagement (《大决战》), not knowing much about the history, he didn’t quite understand the movie (1946-1949).
Now, almost 20 years later, he is a vlogger. He decided to make videos on these revolution-themed (革命主题的), so that viewers, especially children and teenagers, can better enjoy them.
Since May, he has made 27 videos on The Great Transition (转折), The Birth of New China and more—he named it “the red classics collection”. In these videos, he shows battle maps, introduces the life stories of the characters and even analyzes (分析) the poems in them. “These details make history lively and are able to be felt,” said 1900.
These details are based on reality because they come from a lot of research and reading. To make the videos, he interviewed history professors and teachers from Party schools. Besides, he has so far read around 30 books.
Details also mean longer videos. “This is an era of short videos, which attract the most clicks and views,” said 1900. “What I'm doing is against the fashion, as most of my videos are 20 minutes long.”
His effort has paid off. Within five months, the collection won him more than 400,000 new followers. Some companies and organizations asked their workers to watch his videos on Party lectures. Students told him that they used his works as writing sources in their college entrance exams.
These things have brought 1900 a “great sense of achievement”. “My slogan (口号) is ‘everything can be the material of my video’, which might seem like a challenging task to some. But I guess every person can find his or her friends with the same taste.” he said.

27、What Is Success
The Oxford English Dictionary defines(定义) the word success as “the fact that you have achieved something that you want and have been trying to do or get; the fact of becoming rich or famous or of getting a high social position”. Some rankings(排行榜) put Albert Einstein, Michael Jackson, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs as among the most successful people in the world. What Michael Jackson did for music is the same as what Albert Einstein did for physics. All of them do have greatly influenced the industries or media to which they belonged. J.K.Rowling, the author of the famous Harry Potter novels. She created a magical world that sold more than 500 million books and became hit movies. With an estimated(估算的) net worth of $650 million in 2017, she certainly goes for the dictionary definition of success, but for her it didn’t come easy. Having no job, raising her child alone, she was refused by publishers about a dozen times before one took a chance on her. This is what people love: the rags-to-riches success story.
In comparison with Rowling, the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh practically suffered a lot in life to make ends meet. When he was alive, he only sold one painting even though he created more than 2,000 works of art. Van Gogh died when he was 37 years old and with very little money to his name. However, in 1990, his painting Portrait of Dr. Gachet sold for $82.5 million, which has a value today of around $137 million. So, the question is: Is Van Gogh considered successful even though he died poor?
Besides the dictionary definitions, different people have competing ideas of what success really means. Often times the most agree on the same characteristics that make a person a success. A financial magazine named Inc. points to the following qualities that make a person successful: Drive, Confidence, Patience, Honesty, Passion...
Success isn’t always about getting a lot of money or fans, even though those are the stories we see most often. There are other people who we may not know well, but who have achieved success in their own right. One perfect example is mothers. They spent days, months, and years teaching their children from birth to young adulthood. If a child grows up to be a kind, helpful, thoughtful and considerate adult, can the mother consider herself a success?
Perhaps success really is subjective, and it’s up to people to define it for themselves. However, one thing seems to be in complete agreement when we search for the definition and can be best summed up by Steve Jobs, who said, “If you really look closely, most overnight successes took a long time.”
【1】The word “rags-to-riches” in Paragraph 1 probably means “ _________”.
A.winning success from luck
B.turning talent into treasure
C.gaining money from honor
D.rising from poorness to wealth
【2】The writer mentions Vincent van Gogh to show that _________ .
A.success is through loneliness
B.success is beyond time and space
C.success is to take the life-changing opportunity
D.success is to achieve something you want and try
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Most successes happen overnight if we look closely.
B.What makes people successful is the strong mind and body.
C.A child growing to be a gentle adult can be the mother’s success.
D.Albert Einstein makes greater achievement than Michael Jackson.
【4】The writer probably agrees that people should _________ .
A.reorder the rankings of the world’s most successful people
B.reach an agreement of what makes a person success
C.recognize and appreciate different kinds of success
D.drive themselves to set great goals for success
