He said that he was a salesman and asked politely if our mother or father was at home. Without thinking, my brother said, "No. "He asked if we would like to buy some books. I explained that we were not supposed to buy anything without our parents' permission. As I was about to close the door, he forced his way into our house, took out a knife and forced me to tie up my brother's hands with a rope which he took out from his pocket I tied up his hands but I tied them in a special way so my brother could untie (解开) himself. The man then tied my hands up and locked both of us in the kitchen.Soon, he went upstairs to search the bedroom for valuables. I managed to teach my brother to untie the rope on his hands. He then untied me. I rushed to the telephone to call the police ,but the line was dead. The doors were all locked from the outside. Luckily, the robber (强盗) forgot to lock the kitchen window.

They are mostly related to the weather. Some are predictable like a hurricane. Some, like an earthquake, surprise us. It is necessary for us to learn about them, so we can be prepared!Flooding, happens during heavy rains, when rivers overflow, when ocean waves come onshore, when snow melts (融化) too fast or when dams or banks break .flooding is the most common of all natural disasters.Hurricanes are very bad tropical storms that form in the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and in the Pacific Ocean. Hurricanes gather heat and energy through contact with warm ocean waters. Evaporation (蒸发)from the seawater increases their power. Hurricanes have at least 74 miles per hour. When they come onto land, the heavy rain, strong winds and heavy waves can damage buildings, trees and cars.Tornadoes are nature's most violent storms. Tornadoes must always be taken seriously. Tornadoes can be very dangerous, sometimes even deadly. They come from powerful thunderstorms and appear as moving. Tornado winds can reach 300 miles per hour. They cause damage when they land the ground. They can damage an area one mile wide and 50 miles long.While thunder won't hurt you, lightning will! So, it's important to pay attention when you hear thunder. Thunderstorms happen mostly in summer and every thunderstorm has lightning. Lightning can strike people and buildings, which is very dangerous.A volcano is a mountain with a large-opening at the top through which melting rock, steam, gases escape from time to time with violent force from inside the earth. When pressure increases, eruptions occur. Fresh volcanic ash can cause damage to the lungs of older people, babies and people with breathing problems.55.

As time went on, other Chinese people came to this area and Lime house began to be known as "Chinatown". At the start of the 20th century, there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain. However, this situation changed greatly after the Second World War. At this time, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs, and decided to move to London.In the 1950s, a small Chinese restaurant opened in central London. Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was wonderful. Suddenly, Chinese restaurants started opening in every part of the city. Instead of too little work, the new Chinese immigrants (移民) now found that they had too much. Most of the new immigrants enjoyed their life and the chances they were offered. Many asked their friends and relatives to join them from their hometowns, and a lot of families were reunited again at this time.As time went by, London’s Chinese community became more and more successful. The sons and daughters of the first restaurant workers, encouraged by their parents, studied very hard at school and university. And most got highly-paid jobs. As a result, increasing numbers of Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to the more expensive places. Chinatown, however, is still as lively as ever, and a must-see for every visitor to London.63. From the passage, we can learn that the first members of "China town" were _____.A. restaurant workersB. early Chinese sailorsC. Hong Kong farmersD. visitors to London64. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Before the 20th century, "China town" in London was still very small.B. In the 1950s, Chinese food became quite popular in Britain.C. Most of the new immigrants could find a job in the 1950s.D. With the help of the British government, Chinatown was very successful.65.
