Some ancient people believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons of the gods.In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometers long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs.The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod(避雷针)。This device protects buildings from being damaged by lightning. Modern science has discovered that one stroke(闪击)of the lightning has a voltage(电压) of lightning has a voltage of more than 15 million volts(伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second. Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average of one person every day. The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under trees. Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences.

More than 70 people have become members in Harts first 20-week workshop in Londona course he says is the first of its kind in the world. These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said Canadian-born Hart. The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every fortnight. The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. “People have lots of negative attitudes towards forgiveness,” he said. “ People confuse forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one. ” Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed. “The main idea is to give you guidelines on how to look at various kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you are angry with, ” said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project. Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people “want to get free of the past ”.5.If you are angry with somebody, you should _A. try your best to defeat him or her B. never meet him or her againC. persuade him or her to have a talk with you D. try to build up a positive attitude towards the person6.

If you are a member in Harts workshop, youll_. A. pay much money to Hart B. go to the workshop every night C. attend a gathering twice a month D. pour out everything stored in your mind8. The author wrote this passage to _.A. persuade us to go to Harts workshop B. introduce Harts workshop to us C. run a workshop like Harts D. help us to deal with various kinds of angers C There is an English saying,” Laughter is the best medicines.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve peoples health. Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be helpful.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programes. The group that tolerated()the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny programe. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce helpful effects similar to those caused by laughter.9.
