19、he more changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like the following day or two is called weather forecasting. For many centuries and in all countries people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Sometimes distant objects such as hills and

Reading comprehension(114=14) A The

25、word “horsepower” was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt had made the worlds first widely used steam engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were no units for measuring power. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could

26、do in one minute. He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his engine could do. He discovered that a horse could lift a 3,300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift 3,300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did t

27、en times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horsepower engine. 37. The passage says that Watt made the first _ A. engine B. steam engineC. widely used steam engine D. useful engine38.

Watt and His Greatest InventionB Creativity is the key to a brighter future, say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encour

30、age this important skill in children.If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have a product that we now think of as of great importance: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together

31、. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking about developing

32、new ideas. Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for

33、something.Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers.The result is that children can give back information but cant recogni

34、ze ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly, but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if its choosing betw

35、een two food items for lunch. Decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the wrong decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is

36、 because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.42. What did the company where Drew once worked learn from its mistake?A. They encouraged people to work a longer time.They discouraged people to think freely.C. They asked people to spend a

37、ll their work time developing new ideas.D. They encouraged people to spend some of their work time considering and improving new ideas.43.

38、hat is not important at all.44. Why dont schools try to encourage creativity?A. They dont understand the importance of education.B. They dont want their students to make mistakesC. They pay too much attention to examination marks, language and mathematical skills.D.They think it more important to re

39、member some information.45. What should the parents do when their children decide how spend their money?A. Try to help them as much as possible.Take no notice of whatever they do.Help them if their decision is wrong, but not too much.Leave them as they are. C Most people feel lonely sometimes, but i

40、t usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researches say there are three differences types of loneliness. The first kind of loneliness is temporary which

41、 means it wont last long. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situation loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation - for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, moving to a new place. Alt

42、hough this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year. The third kind loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, this kind of loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. It

43、s called chronic loneliness. People who experience habitual loneliness think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their conditions.Scientists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a persons social contacts, e.g. friends, family members, coworkers. We depend on different peopl

44、e for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, scientists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should h

45、ave more. Scientist are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad and sometimes dangerous condition.46. How would you treat tempo
