killed by floods or 100-kilometer- an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up “storm chasing (追逐)”is becoming an increasingly popular hobby，especially in the midwest of the united

used long thin wire. it was invented in 1900 by valdermar poulsen. in 1930, german scientists invented the tape we use today. back then the tape was on big rolls. in 1964 the philips company in holland invented the cassette. its pretty much a holder for the tape. people use cassettes all over the world. if you dont have a cassette recorder, borrow one. think of a book your parents read out loud to you. that might be a great book to read out loud to your mom or dad in their car. put a cassette in the recorder, open the book, hit the record button and start reading out loud. remember there is no such a thing as a wrong way to do this. you might think youve made a mistake, but this gift is part of you, and nothing about that can be a mistake. its impossible. you get to be all artistic and creative here. you might want to play music in the background. do whatever you want. the gift is you, so you decide. remember to say “i love you”at the end of your reading. thats like the

equal to being a successful person. look at the example of the blue whale：it has a huge brain，but it still doesnt know how to avoid whalers or use its large size and weight to deal with those who try to use their body for profit. scientists hold an opinion that the blue whale just likes some highly intelligent people who fail to succeed. those highly intelligent people cant succeed in life because they cant communicate well with the world around them.intelligence is a word in life that makes you think you are better than others. intelligence can blind these very people from how others view them. these people also think that the route to power and success results purely from intelligence and they sometimes live in a fantasy world that they create by their supposed brain power.this is a distance that develops whether or not they realize it and sometimes，a person can be disliked simply because of his or her intelligence. this distance is sometimes so far apart that it gets to the position where they cant listen to each other. one side thinks the other is stupid and the other thinks he/she is haughty(傲慢的)and most of the time it is the intelligent people who lose themselves in this situation. they become unpopular with most of the people around them. this affects them in whatever they do and sooner or later they will lose their confidence.it doesnt help that they get a culture shockespecially when they leave college and realize success and richness dont always and sometimes never come naturally with intelligence. while some might think this is a dramatic picture to paint，it is sometimes the end result of some people.8the example of “the blue whale” is used to show _.acommunication is more important than intelligence bhuman beings are always more intelligent than animalschumans should have the sense of protecting animalsdthe blue whale is the largest animal in the world9those supposed intelligent people often believe that _.athey should make their life the same with othersbthey should live in a better world than the otherscthey are sure to be successful because of their intelligencedother peoples opinion should be seriously considered10what makes the intelligent people lose their confidence?athey often cant get higher positions though they are intelligent.bthey become separated from other people and lose their support.cthey cant persuade those stupid people to accept their ideas.dthey often cant make good use of their advantages.11we can infer that the end result of the supposed intelligent people would be _.agreat achievements bmore effortscproper changes dfailure in the futuredweve all heard the old saying，“sticks and stones can break my bones，but words can never hurt me.” dont you believe it？words are powerful，and they can hurta lot. in fact，if youre not careful，you can even hurt yourself，by using the wrong word in your writing.recently a friend sent me a copy of an email she received from the customer service department of her credit card company，after she contacted them with a question about her account. she was happy with their positive response. but as i read the email，one line jumped out at me：“in lieu of good customer service.” did they really mean they were offering her a few extra reward points instead of good customer service？i doubt it. more likely，what the customer service department meant to say was，“because good customer service is important to us.” followed by the details of what they were doing to make sure she remained a happy customer.so why didnt the writer say that？i can only guess that perhaps the writer liked the phrase “in lieu of”，thought it sounded more interesting than saying “because”，and so used itwithout bothering to check the true meaning.have you ever done that？try to impress others with a big word，only to find out youve used the word incorrectly？its just the opposite effect，isnt it？you may impress people all right，but its not the impression you were going for.when you write，remember to choose your words carefully. people may still disagree with what you say，but they wont be able to dismiss you because you made careless mistakes in how you said it.12whats the writers purpose in giving the saying?ato amuse the reader. bto persuade the reader.cto support a conclusion. dto lead to the topic.13it can be inferred that the writers friend _.awas the manager of the customer service departmentbwas the customer of the credit card companycemailed a company to complain dused a phrase incorrectly14what does the phrase “in lieu of” most probably mean?abecause of. bin honour of.cinstead of. din favour of.15according to the writer，the customer service department _.adidnt express what they really meantbdidnt prefer to use familiar words to attract customerscdidnt need to offer their customers extra reward pointsdsucceeded in impressing their customers第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余项。it is necessary as well as important
