A large earthquake hit Hebei province in northern China on 10th January 1998. The earthquake was very powerful. It measured 6.2 on the Richter scale. Fifty people died in the earthquake, and thousands more were injured or made homeless. Over 100,000 houses were destroyed or damaged.
January is usually the coldest month of the year in Hebei. Temperatures often fall to minus 30°C and cold winds blow both day and night. Bad weather conditions made life difficult and dangerous, especially for people made homeless by the earthquake. The victims urgently needed warm clothes, food, shelter, first aid and medicine.
The Red Cross was one of the first groups to provide help to the victims of the earthquake. The Red Cross Society of China immediately sent medical teams and food and clothes to the disaster area. In Hong Kong, donations from the HKSAR Government and from Hong Kong residents totaled over RMB 54 million.
This money bought blankets, coats, jackets, tents, food and medicine for the Hebei survivors. Also, mainland soldiers quickly arrived in Hebei. In the weeks after the earthquake, they helped to build more than 10, 000 temporary homes.
Unfortunately, natural disasters are not uncommon in China. In 1997, for example, more than 3,200 people were killed and 2.87 million homes destroyed as a result of disasters. The Red Cross will continue to help disaster victims by offering them relief.

When newspapers and radios report the damage caused by a hurricane（飓风）called Hazel, the girl whose name is Hazel is probably teased (逗乐) by their friends. To keep out of trouble, the Weather Bureau says, “Any resemblance between hurricane names and the names of particular girls is only accidental（巧合）.”
Some women became angry because hurricanes are given their names, but many other women are proud to see their names make headlines. They don't even care that they are the names of destructive storms. Because more women seem to like it than dislike it, the Weather Bureau has decided to continue using girls' names for hurricanes.
In some ways a hurricane is like a person. After it is born, it grows and develops, then becomes old and dies. Each hurricane has a character（特征） of its own. Each follows its own way through the world, and people remember it long after it has gone. So it is natural to give hurricanes names, and to talk about them almost as if they were alive.
26. What happens to girls named Hazel when hurricane Hazel is reported?
A. They suffer from hurricanes. B. The Weather Bureau looks for them.
C. Others often make fun of them. D. They can't find boyfriends.

A. sameness B. success C. difference D. trouble
28. Public opinions make the Weather Bureau _____.
A. stop naming hurricanes after women B. go on naming hurricanes after women
C. name hurricanes after men D. look for a new method to name hurricanes
29. It is natural to give hurricanes names because _____.

A. Some women feel unhappy because hurricanes are given their names.
B. All the hurricanes are caused by women.
C. Many women want to be reported by TV and newspaper.
D. A hurricane grows and develops in the same way as a person.
Text C
It is the duty of every one to work. The life of a lazy man is of no use to himself and to others. The man who is too lazy to work is the man who is generally most ready to beg or to steal. Every boy, when he is young, should learn how to do some useful work.

As we know, “Eyes are windows of the soul.” Everyone understands the importance of the eyes. But now more and more students are getting nearsighted. So how to protect eyes still remains a question. Here is some advice on how to protect our eyesight.
First, don't have your eyes working for long. Second, when reading, you should keep the book about a foot away from you. After reading for an hour or two, you'd better have a rest by looking in the distance. Third, don't read in dim light or in the sun, or in a moving bus, or in bed. Finally, remember to do eye-exercises, which will help you keep good eyesight.
In a word, to keep good eyesight, one must form good studying habit.
