Types of Fire Extinguishers Fire extinguishers (灭火器) are marked according to the kind of fire on which they should be used. Using the wrong type of extinguisher can be dangerous and make things worse. Type A extinguishers are used for fires on paper, cloth, wood, rubber, many plastics and so on. These types of fires usually leave ashes when they burn, so use Type A extinguishers for fires that leave ashes. Type B extinguishers are used for burning liquids, such as oil, gasoline, and paints. These substances often come in barrel-shaped (桶形的) containers, so use Type B extinguishers for such barrels. Type C extinguishers are used for electrical fires. Electricity travels in a circuit (电路), so use Type C extinguishers for circuits. Remember, A is for Ashes, B is for Barrels, and C is for Circuits. Make sure you have the correct type of fire extinguisher before you try to use it. Using a Fire Extinguisher To help you remember how to use a fire extinguisher, learn PAPS. PAPS stands for Pull, Aim, Press, and Sweep. Pull the pin (销) at the top of the extinguisher cylinder (圆筒). Aim the nozzle (喷嘴) at the base of the fire. Press the handle.

In the US, tornadoes(龙卷风） are responsible for 80 deaths and more than 1,500 injuries each year. Although they happen quite frequently, tornadoes are difficult to predict. Why? Tornadoes develop from storms, but only some storms are likely to become tornadoes. Scientists don’t know where and when a storm will touch the ground and turn into a tornado. Today, the warning time for a tornado is usually just 13 minutes. Time Samaras is a storm chaser. His job is to find tornados and follow them.When he gets close to a tornado, he puts a special tool called a turtle probe on the ground. This tool measures things like a tornado’s temperature, humidity (湿度), and wind speed. With this information, Samaras can learn what causes tornadoes to develop. If meteorologists(气象学家) understand this, they can warn people about tornadoes sooner and save lives. How does Samaras hunt tornadoes? It’s not easy. First, he has to find one Tornadoes are too small to see using weather satellites. So Samaras can’t rely on these tools to find a tornado. Instead, he waits for tornadoes to develop. Every May and June, Samaras drivers about 40,000 kilometers aross an area known as ToknownTornado Alley, looking and hoping to spot a tornado. Once Samaras sees a tornado, the chase begins. But a tornado is hard to follow. Some tornadoes change direction several times—for example,moving east and then west and then east again. When Sanaras finally gets near a tonrnado, he puts the turtle probe on the ground. Being this close to a tornado is terrifying. Debris (碎片) is flying in the air . Then wind is blowing at high speed. He must get away quickly. The work is risky, even for a skilled chaser like Samaras. But danger won’t stop his hunt for the perfect storm. 【1】What do we know about tornadoes? A.They can be predicted by satellites. B.They usually come down in winter C.The warning time for them is very short . D.They often develop into storms. 【2】A turtle probe is used to . A.predict tornadoes B.collect information about tornadoes C.chase tornadoes D.decrease the power of tornadoes 【3】The third paragraph is mainly about . A.how tornadoes develop B.how the turtle probe works C.how powerful Tornado Alley is D.how Samaras chases a tornado 【4】According to the text ,the job of a tornado chaser is . A.difficult and dangerous B.stressful and troublesome C.mysterious and interesting D.exciting and popular |

“I will think of it.”It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have come from thinking? We cannot see our thoughts, or hear, or taste, or feel them; and yet what strong power they have! Sir Isaac Newton was seated in his garden on a summer evening, when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He began to think, and, in trying to find out why the apple fell, discovered how the earth, sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places. A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fireside, watching the lid ( 盖子) of the tea kettle as it moved up and down. He began to think,and he wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the heavy lid. From that time he went on thinking and thinking and when he became a man, he improved the steam engine so much that it could, with the greatest ease, do the work of many horses. James Ferguson was a poor Scotch shepherd (羊倌) boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he was filled with wonder.“Why should I not make a watch?”he thought. But how was he to get the materials out of which to make the wheels and the mainspring (钟表等的主发条)? He soon found how to get them: he made the mainspring out of a piece of whalebone. He then made a wooden clock which kept good time. He began, also, to copy pictures with a pen, and portraits (肖像) with oil colors. In a few years, while still a small boy, he earned money enough to support his father. When he became a man, he went to London to live. Some of the wisest men in England, and the king himself, used to attend his lectures. His motto was, “I will think of it.” and he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world. When you have a difficult lesson to learn, don’t feel discouraged or ask someone to help you before helping yourselves. Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think to some purpose 【1】Which word can best describe the three scientists mentioned in this text? A.Crazy. B.Impatient. C.Curious. D.Easy-going. 【2】What can we learn about James Ferguson? A.He was born in a rich family. B.His wooden clock seldom worked well. C.He was a painter from England. D.His mind greatly influenced the world. 【3】What is the author trying to tell us? A.Thoughts are not important since we can not see or touch them. B.It is important to try a challenge on our own. C.Ask for help right away when things get hard. D.Great people have great teachers. 【4】What is the best title for the text? A.I Will Think of It B.Why Should Not I Have a Try? C.Nothing Is Impossible to a Willing Heart D.Great Scientists Make a Great World |

Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality. People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted” was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol. The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern. I see people trapped in a pathological (病态的) relationship with time-sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money. What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.” But it’s time to discover that it does not work for technology. Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies.” To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today’s overused technology. 【1】The underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______. A.advantage B.attraction C.adaption D.attempt 【2】From the passage, technology companies aim to ______. A.attract people to buy their products B.provide the latest information C.improve people’s quality of life D.deal with cultural diseases 【3】It can be inferred from this passage that people ______. A.consider too much technology wonderful B.have realized the harm of high-tech devices C.can regain freedom without high-tech devices D.may enjoy life better without overused technology 【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices? A.Neutral. B.Skeptical. C.Disapproving. D.Sympathetic. |
