Though larger cities were mostly spared,Sunday’s tornadoes damaged some small towns in the middle of the U.S.One of the hardest hit was Van,Texas,a town of about 2,600 people located 70 miles southeast of Dallas.Winds there reached up to 140 miles per hour and damaged about 30 percent of the area.Weather experts say it was the strongest tornado to hit the town during more than 70 years.

Emergency workers in Van moved quickly to help those affected,but two people were killed and more than two dozen were injured by the tornado’s winds.A driver in the nearby town of Corsicana was killed by floodwaters that had risen after the storm.

In Lake City,Iowa,a tornado tore the roof off South Central Calhoun High School.One hundred and fifty people had gathered in the safety of the school’s basement,and all escaped without major harm.

Nine people were injured in the 130-mph winds of a tornado that touched down in Delmont,South Dakota,but tornadoes weren’t the only severe weather that state saw on Sunday.Residents in the Black Hills region were faced with a late-spring snowfall of 10 to 18 inches.

Scientists measure tornadoes using the Enhanced Fujita(EF) Scale.It categorizes tornadoes based on the amount of damage they cause and their estimated wind speed.EF1 tornadoes are the weakest,while EF5 tornadoes are the severest.The tornado in Van was categorized as an EF3.

In 15 years I do not have a lot of memorable moments as a restaurant manager.However,I do remember everything about the day my son was born and the day I married my wife.

I know what I was supposed to say when I went to your table.But I did not do any of that.

How to Motivate Teens to Read

With lots of studies showing the benefits of reading,how can teachers motivate their students to open a good book or power up their e-reader?

Lead by Example

Require students to spend at least 20 minutes in independent reading every day.By taking part in this regular activity themselves,teachers show that they consider reading very important.1.

Freedom to Choose

2. For those who forget their books,provide them with access to novels,magazines or newspapers during required reading time.Consider allowing students to use their personal e-readers.

Share Your Excitement

Teachers’ excitement for a particular book may have a huge influence on their students.3. Then when it comes time for them to choose a new book,suggest your favorite.

Visit the Library

Make time to visit the school library and require students to borrow at least one book of interest.4. By doing so,they can make sure the book fits their interests. Stay Informed

Teachers can help motivate students by finding out the latest popular young adult reading matter,such as “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins and the “Uglies” by Scott Westerfeld.

With varied activities competing for students’ time and attention,it can be difficult to encourage youngsters to read.5. Teachers who make independent reading a daily part of the classroom experience and find creative ways to motivate their students may be on the way to writing a success story. A.They can read books in silence.

B.Give students a taste of what the book is about. C.There is science fiction that they are interested in.

D.Encourage them to spend some time reading the book before borrowing. E.However,there is little doubt that reading can help with students’ studies. F.Therefore,they always find time to read even though they are terribly busy.

1.F 由本空前内容可知,老师们应该以身作则,定期读书,传递给学生“读书很重要”的理念,因此,老师们“无论多么忙也要抽出时间读书”。

3.B 根据本空前内容可知,老师们对某本书的喜好会对学生产生巨大的影响,因此,“让学生对这本书有初步的了解”,然后在他们选择新书时,把这本书推荐给他们。

4.D 根据本空前内容可知,老师们应该让学生去图书馆并要求他们至少借一本感兴趣

的书,“鼓励他们在借之前花点时间读读这本书”,这样就可以确保这本书符合他们的兴趣。 5.E 本文就老师们应该如何激发学生的阅读兴趣提出了几点建议,由此可以推测,作者认为读书是有用的。 Ⅲ.Dear David,

I’m glad to receive your letter.As you know,a new smoking ban has taken effect in Beijing since June 1,2015.The ban,the toughest to date,demands all indoor public places,working places and public transport be free of smoking.Smoking in

kindergartens,primary and middle schools,stadiums and children’s hospitals is not allowed too.

The law will offer the public a better place to live and work,which will result in

improving their health.However,in my opinion,a maximum fine of 200 yuan isn’t enough to stop people from smoking.Quitting smoking is hard for smokers,so there’s still a long way to go before our no smoking goal can be achieved.

Best wishes,

Li Hua
