    On the day the tornado hit, there was no sign that the fierce weather was on its way —the sky was blue and the sun had been out. The first warning my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p.m., from some text on the TV Jimmy was watching. He ran upstairs to find me in our third-floor bedroom, and we changed the channel from the national television to our local Pensacola, Florida, station.

    Soon the tornado was on top of us. It was the loudest thing I had ever heard. The house shook, and the power went out. And the wind began to roar (咆哮) through the house, most likely through windows and the door to our garage. Everything was moving. And the back wall of the house came off and flew into the darkness outside. We had three flights of steps to get to the storeroom down there, the relative safety of the first floor.

    I didn't know how or if we would make it down the steps. It felt as if there was no floor as the wind lifted me off my feet. As we finally reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew open. Suddenly, a three-foot-long tree branch (树枝) flew over our heads, missing us by inches.

    By the time I reached the storeroom, the tornado had been over us for about a minute, Jimmy pushed me down to the storeroom floor, but he couldn't get inside himself because of the wind. I held Jimmy's arm as the tornado blew the door open. My knees were full of glass, but I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out of the house.

    All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn't believe it was over. Our neighbor said the storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Luckily, none of us were seriously injured.

  1. (1) Where did the couple learn about the coming fierce weather?
    A . From the dark sky. B . From the radio station. C . From the news report on TV. D . From the text sent by their neighbors.

    A . They had no place to hide. B . They tried to get out of the house. C . Their garage was blown into pieces. D . Their house was badly destroyed.
  3. (3) What do we know about Jimmy when the author reached the storeroom?
    A . He was in great danger. B . He flew out of the house. C . He was seriously injured. D . He got inside the storeroom.
  4. (4) What is the best title of this text?
    A . The tornado hitting Florida B . A couple stopping a disaster C . The wind roaring through the house D . A couple keeping alive from a disaster

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

    I remember the first time I met Roy. He was telling a joke. When he reached the final line, everyone burst out laughing. "A popular boy," I thought to myself. My name is Daniel. I was the new boy in the class. There were 33 students in my new class, and most people weren't very interested in a shy new boy. Roy was kind to me. He often invited me to join his particular group, and we became good friends. We trusted each other and we could talk about personal matters.

    Five years later, Roy and I were still in the same class. But just under a year ago, Roy's father was knocked over by a car. He died a few days later. The family had difficulty with finance. Roy changed completely. He started losing friends, including me.

    About three months ago, a group of us were playing football together after school. Having left something in the classroom, I went inside to get it, and found Roy going through the pockets of people's coats. In his hand he had a wallet-and I knew it wasn't his! Roy went bright red. "I'll put it back right now," he said, and he did so. I turned round and walked out without saying a word. I really hoped that Roy would explain why he had been stealing, but instead he started avoiding me.

    Last week our school had a big fair in order to raise money for a charity and we made about £ 500. But to our surprise, the next morning, we were told that the money had been stolen. This morning I decided to ask Roy about the theft so I went to see him. Roy was out. I put his jacket on and put my hands in the pockets. I could feel a lot of paper notes and I pulled them out. It looked as if there was about £500 there. I was so surprised that I just stood there,holding the notes in my hand. At that moment,Roy walked in.

I guess everyone would like to set off for a journey with someone we can understand and have fun with. TRAVELLING WITH A COMPANION (同伴)

IS GREAT!

It's good to have someone with you who can watch your backpack when you want to use the toilet, find the way back home when you get lost, carry some of your luggage (行李) when you're tired, take some photos of you when you want and help you in all kinds of situations. The feeling of having someone by your side makes you feel less stressful about many things.

With a companion, you can together share the beautiful moments during the travels, experience the same things in a different way and support each other. It's much more interesting and exciting when you have the chance to share something with someone while on your road. At the same time, there is always someone whom you can shout at when you are angry, or a shoulder on which you can cry when you miss your home.

A companion can share the costs with you. You can stay in one room, buy a dinner, have it together and share the bill, etc. It's good to travel with someone who has the same or similar pattern of payment as you so you can support each other without having any arguments (争吵).

Having a companion by your side when travelling means less loneliness. You don't think about it unless you get left in the middle of nowhere, far away from your friends and family. Then you wish to have someone with you.

In short, travelling with someone is the best choice for people who are short of travel experience or just social animals and easily miss their home. We might sometimes feel like being on our own and enjoy the sights with nobody behind our back but at the end of the day you have much more fun when being with someone, especially for a long run.

There is a (总结) at the end of the meeting.
I can certainly feel the (影响) of too many late nights.
(智慧) is knowing what to do next.
There is a(小结) at the end of each chapter.
Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have an effect you most deeply.
