Hurricane
1、 A hurricane（飓风）is a tropical storm with winds that have reached
a constant speed of 74 miles per hour Hurricane winds blow in a large spiral(螺旋) around a relative calm center known as the "eye". The "eye" is generally 20 t030 miles wide, and the storm may extend outward 400 miles. As a hurricane nears land, it can bring heavy rains, high winds, and storm surges(风暴潮). The storm surges and heavy rains can lead to flooding
2、Hurricanes are given a different label, depending on where they occur. If they begin over the North Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, or the Northeast PacifIe Ocean, they are called hurricanes. Similar storms that occur in the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the International Date Line are called typhoons. Near Australia and in the Indian Ocean, they are referred to as
tropical cyclones(龙卷风).
3、When a hurricane hits land, it can do great damage through its fierce winds, heavy rains, inland (内陆的) flooding, and huge waves crashing on to the shore. During a hurricane, homes, businesses, and public buildings may be damaged or destroyed, roads and bridges can be washed away A powerful hurricane can kill more people and destroy more property than any other natural disaster. Fishermen are at special risk from hurricanes as they may be at sea when a hurricane arrives and not be able to get to a safe harbour if they do not receive adequate warning.
4、If a hurricane is coming in your area, the most important thing is to stay calm and find shelter immediately Go to your safe room. If you do not have one, stay indoors during the hurricane and go to a safer place near the center of your home Cover yourself with a blanket and be sure to keep away from windows and glass doors, because if the glass breaks it's really dangerous Do not be fooled if there is a lull（暂停）, it could be the eye of the storm-winds will pick up again.

'Lucky" Lord Lucan - Alive or Dead
On 8th November 1974 Lord Lucan, a BriLish aristocrat. Vamshcd.The day bctore, his children's nanny had been brutally murdered and his wile had been attacked too. To this day the British public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found. Now. Over 30 years later, the police have reopened the case. hoping that new DNA techniques will help solve this murder mystery.1
People suspected that "Lucky", as he was called by friends. wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark, killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged wife heard noises, came downstairs and was also attacked. but managed to escape Seven months after the murder, a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny
What happened next is unclear, but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories: he may have killed himself. he could have escaped or he might have been killed. It appears that the night after the murder. " Lucky" borrowed a car and drove it, Lucan's friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel
Another version of events .says that " Lucky" left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France.2 He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country However. after a time, his rescuers became involved that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed.
A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan MacLaughlin. a former detective. He believes that Lucan travelled to Goa, India, where he assumed the identity of a Mr Barry
Haplin. Lucan then lived in Goa till his death in 1996. In the end the claim turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The man who died in 1996 was really Haplin, an ex-schoolteacher turned hippy. So what is the truth about "Lucky"'!

职称英语等级考试试题-综合
职称英语等级考试试题-综合A6 第三篇Play Play is the principal business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy, every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. Their main function is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back to again and again. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child’s development. In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby’s ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged and stimulated, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully. In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws（七巧板）and construction toys; painting, scribbling(涂鸦) and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play; the first social games for learning to play and get on with others. Bt the third stage of play development-from five to seven or eight years-the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the chills most enjoys.
