Two high school students Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris made a series of home videos leading up to their killings of fellow students at Columbine High School in Colorado.
Time Magazine viewed the video tapes, and reports that Klebold and Harris expressed hatred for nearly all their schoolmates. Kelbold said on one tape, ―I hope we kill 250 of you.‖ At lunchtime on April 20, Kelbold and Harris opened fire, and went on to kill 12 other students and one teacher before taking their own lives.
Time says the tapes--made over a five-week period before the violent(暴力的) act--make it clear that Klebold and Harris felt alienated and wanted revenge(报复) against those who disliked playing together with them or laughed at them--mainly the Columbine sports students. The magazine says the only regret that the shooters show on the tapes is when Harris admits that his and Klebold‘s parents would be ―put through hell(地狱)once we do this.‖ But he said, ―there‘s nothing you guys (the parents)could have done to prevent this.‖ Klebold said, ―I‘m sorry I have so much anger in my heart.‖ Harris talked of having to move often with his family, starting over each time al the bottom of the social ladder, where people made fun of ―my face, my hair, my shirts‖. Time reports Klebold and Harris saw the attacks as a way to get ―the respect we should‖, Klebold said directors ―will be fighting over this story‖. FBI agent Mark Holstlaw told Time: ―They wanted to be famous. And they are. They‘re infamous.‖

For more than two days in September 1974, the people of Honduras shut their windows, locked their doors and stayed in their homes. Fifi
36
was outside, and they were frightened.
8,000 people had been dead when Fifi left. Fifi wasn‘t a pet dog as the name suggests. It was a hurricane, one of the most destructive natural
phenomena（现象）in the world.
Why do we give human names to wind and rain and cloud? We didn‘t always. Two hundred years ago, many hurricanes in the Caribbean
were named after the saint‘s day（圣徒逝世忌日）on which the storm occurred. Later, storms were known by the name of the city where they came ashore. Experts then tried naming storms after the latitude（纬度）and longitude where they occurred. Finally, in 1953, hurricanes started getting people‘s names—specifically, female names. Male names were added in 1979.
There are six sets of names for what the experts call ―Atlantic tropical cyclones （热带气旋）‖. Each list is used every six years and consists
of 21 names, starting with every letter but Q,U, X,Y and Z. Male names and female names are used in turn. A storm won‘t get a name until its winds reach 39mph or about 62. 4kph, at which point it becomes a tropical storm. At 74mph or 118.4kph it‘s declared a hurricane.
The names on the list are used only for storms that form off the Atlantic coast of the US. There are separate lists for the Pacific. So what
happens if a hurricane should cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific? It‘s happened before. The storm just gets a new name and sometimes a new sex. Max Mayfield is the director of the National Hurricane Centre, in Miami, Florida. He‘s in charge of picking new names for storms off the Atlantic coast. He and the experts in two dozen other countries in the Caribbean, North America vote on what names will replace retired names. In 2007, for example, Andrea, and Melissa will take the place of Allison, and Michelle. ―If we have a hurricane that causes a large loss of life or damage, a country will request that name be retired, he said. Sometimes, people write in to suggest names for hurricanes. Mayfield said they got a letter from a man in Florida, who wanted them to name a hurricane after his first wife. He said it had to be a hurricane that caused terrible damage .The world would know what he had experienced living with the woman for 18 years.
72. Which of the following is most likely to be the name of a hurricane or a storm before 1979? C
A. Arthur
B. Peter
C. Shirley
D. Honduras
73. We may learn from the text that A .
A. all storms don‘t get their names B. in 2007, the experts will make new name lists C. only Mayfield decides which name to choose
D. experts use names mostly suggested by people
74. How long can the six sets of names be used? D
A. 126 years.
B. 6 years
C. 21 years
D. 36 years
75. The man in Florida suggested naming a hurricane after his first wife because he wanted to D .
A. express his deep love for her
B. show his sadness after losing her
C. make her known by the people in Florida D. tell people how unhappily he was living with her

How to Protect Our Environment
live in the world every day. We eat food, drink water, wear clothes, watch TV, use computers and so on. We are producing waste every moment.
Generally speaking, there are four sorts of waste. They are material waste, organic waste, inorganic waste and poisonous & harmful waste. Now, we are going to talk about each sort of waste one by one.
Material waste: it means the waste of substance or things from which something else can be made. For example, people throw away the used metal products and buy a new one, so the old metal waste accumulates. At last, they become waste. For example, when people finish reading newspaper, the paper will become waste. When the glass is broken, it also becomes waste. Nobody wants to use a broken window or drink with a broken glass or wear a pair of broken glasses. Once it is broken, it becomes waste. The rate of using plastics is increasing day by day. People use plastic bags because they are convenient. When they get home, they throw the plastics way, paying no attention to the environment. The more convenience plastics brings to us, the more plastic waste is produced. This is called “white pollution” as most plastics are white. Some of our products we use every day are made of rubber, just like the tyres and the bottom part of our shoes. It’s true that rubber plays an important role in our life. However, it also brings us some trouble when it has been used for a long time and becomes old. The old tyres become waste because it can’t break down by nature. This is really a big problem.
Organic waste: it refers to waste from living things, including waste from animals, plants and people. Some parts of vegetables are thrown away as waste because they don’t taste good. In the past, people cooked their food using burning coal, so there left the
37
burned coal, which is useless, like the thrown vegetables. All this sorts of waste contain organism, so it is called organic waste. Actually, we also have inorganic waste, the opposite to organic waste, including building waste, broken pottery and china, and cinder.
The last part is harmful and poisonous waste, such as used batteries, electrical apparatus and medical supplies. Computers and TV sets are one part of electrical apparatus. You see, the old electrical apparatus can set off some dangerous rays and make the soil harder, even damage the under ground water. Mobile phones are as dangerous as computers and TV sets. As we know, X-rays can be used to examine patients, but the X-rays machines are dangerous when they are thrown away without any treatment. They can’t be used to treat the sick, but they still can give off rays. For the normal people, they can be dangerous. So, we must think about this problem.
As waste has four sorts, we can sort them into each sort that they belong to. It’s convenient to treat them after they are sorted. Then we can deal with them sort by sort. We have thought out some methods like storing them in order to change them into plant food, or burning them in a huge stove and use the heat to make electricity. For the first way, the change rate is much too low and it may pollute the under ground water. For the second one, of course it’s wonderful if it’s easy to be tried out. But to build such a huge stove will cost too much. Not a good method. Now you see, treating waste is not an easy job.
