Lightning(閃電)is shocking, and it happens all over the world! Scientists think that there are more than three million lightning strikes(襲擊)every day in the world-that’s thirty strikes every second.

Lightning can also be very dangerous. Every year, lightning kills people because it can start big fires or because it reaches temperatures up to 28,000 degrees centigrade. American Roy Sullivan, who worked in a park, holds the record for surviving the most lightning strikes. Between 1942 and 1983, he was hit seven times!

So, why does lightning strike? Lightning strikes happen when ice and water in clouds rub(摩擦)together, and cause atmospheric(大氣層的)changes. When this happens, it creates a static charge(靜電電荷). Lightning can strike inside the cloud, between two clouds and between a cloud and Earth. It’s the last type of strike that is the most dangerous for humans. About 1,000 people get struck by lightning every year in the United States, and about 100 of them die as a result.

Lightning is certainly not something to toy with. When lightning strikes, it’s best to stay inside a large building. To stay safe, do not stand under trees, on hills or near water. Trees attract lightning. Also, do not lie down on the ground, otherwise the electricity may go through you and cause a heart disease.

1.Lightning strikes ________.

A. happen three billion times each day

B. will start when there are big fires

C. can reach very high temperatures

D. kill all those who work in a park

2.What does “surviving” in paragraph 2 mean in Chinese?

A.目睹 B.幸存 C.制造 D. 遇難

3.We can infer(推斷)from paragraph 3 that ________.

A. lightning strikes are caused whenever ice and water meet

B. lightning between two clouds is the most dangerous for humans

C. lightning strikes create static charge

D. about one tenth of the people struck by lightning die every year in America

4.Which expression means “to toy with” in the last paragraph?

A. to play with B. to take seriously

C. to show off D. to take it easy

5.Where’s the best place to be when lightning strikes?

A. On top of a hill. B. In a swimming pool.

C. In a tree. D. Inside a large building.

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.

Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save yourself. It is important to know the ways you can use and to show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways (樓梯) and fire escapes, but not lifts.

From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving through windows with the least chance of serious injury (傷害).

The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person, hanging by the finger-tips (手指尖) will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.

Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked (泄露) into the room.

On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof (屋頂). From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement (水泥) might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.

1.It is important to _____________________.

A. know the ways to escape a fire

B. put out a fire in a burning house

C. jump out of a burning house

D. keep the door closed

2.It is possible to escape through the windows _______________________.

A. if you are strong enough

B. if there are some bushes on the ground

C. if you live on a lower floor

D. if you have a long rope

3.Which of the following ways of escaping is NOT right?

A. You can escape through stairways.

B. Use a lift to come down at once.

C. Escape through the windows which open onto a roof.

D. You can choose fire escapes.

4.Keep your head low at the window so that _________ if the building is on fire.

A. you can get fresh air

B. you can call for help

C. you can easily jump off

D. you can be seen first

5.The best title for the passage is _____________.

A. Escaping through the Windows
