Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains（平原）. Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green. Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for building new buildings. As a matter of fact, the cables（绳索） that hold up the hanging bridge above the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more than 1000 years, and is still holding strong. In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use. Bamboo pipes and drills（钻） can help to make the poor thirsty fields to be watered.56. How is bamboo like grass? A. It is thin and easy to cut. B. It grows everywhere. C.

Experts say heat may be natures deadliest killer. Hot weather can cause serious medical problems-even death. The most common health problem linked to hot weather is heat stress. The causes of heat stress include wearing heavy clothing, physical work or exercise, hot weather or high humidity（湿度）. Humidity is the amount of water in the air.Experts say it is important to know the danger signs of the medical disorders linked to hot weather. Most people suffer only muscle pain as a result of heat stress. The pain is warning that the body is becoming too hot. Doctors say those people suffering muscle pain should stop all activities and rest in a cool place. They should also drink cool liquids . They shouldnt return to the physical activity for a few hours because more serious conditions could develop. Doctors say some people face an increased danger from heat stress. Such persons have a weak heart, or high blood pressure. It is also dangerous for people who weigh too much and for people who drink alcohol（酒）.Experts say it is also important to know what to do if the signs appear- in yourself or in someone else.Drink more water. Water is important for many health reasons. Water is also needed for cooling the body on hot days. In hot weather, drinking cool liquids is best. Cool drinks do more than just replace lost body water. They also help cool us faster that warm liquids do.Yet experts advise against drinking sweet liquids in hot weather. The sugar they contain slows the liquid from getting into the blood system. Tea and coffee also are not effective.Doctors say actions other than drinking water can protect against the dangers of heat. Stay out of the sun, if possible. Wear loose and light colored clothes. Wear a hat when in the sun. Eat fewer hot and heavy foods. Also, rest more often. Physical activities produce body heat.Experts say these simple steps can prevent the dangerous health problems linked to heat.

Students plan for Homecoming Day many weeks in advance（预先）. Several days before Homecoming Day, students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming Day twenty or thirty years after their graduation. The members of some school clubs build booths（摊位） and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome the visitors. During the day, people like to look for teachers whom they still remember. They often see old friends and talk together about those happy years in school. Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student as Homecoming Queen or King. It is a great honor to be chosen. Homecoming is a happy day, but it is not perfect unless the football team wins the game. However, if the team loses, the students still enjoy the Homecoming.
