Have you ever heard someone say it was "raining frogs"? You might think this is impossible, but in rare cases, it has actually rained frogs! How could this happen? During a tornado or a powerful thunderstorm, water from a pond or lake can be sucked into the air. This includes anything that is in the water.

The storm continues to move. As it travels, it releases the water into the air. Does this mean that frogs and fish come raining down from the sky? Yes, this is exactly what happens!

Cases of strange things falling down from the sky have been reported for many years. People have seen small frogs, fish, grasshoppers and snails drop from the sky in places like France, India and the United States. Are animals the only things that get swept up by storms? No. In fact, in 1995,it rained soda cans in the United States!

I had an old neighbour, a doctor named Gibbs. When Doctor Gibbs wasn't saving lives，he was planting trees. He had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He hardly watered his new trees.

Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants made them grow weaker. He said he had to make things difficult for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water.

So, instead of watering his trees every morning, he'd beat them with a rolled up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees' attention.

Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Sometimes I walked by his house and looked at the trees I'd watched him plant 25 years ago. They were tall and strong.

I planted several trees myself a few years ago. Two years of caring for these trees meant they grew up weakly. Every time a cold wind blew, my trees shook. Adversity seemed to be good for Doctor Gibb's trees，they could never relax.

Every night before I go to bed，I check on my two sons. I often pray(祈禱)that their lives will be easy. But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to experience difficulties. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots，so when the rains fall and the winds blow，we won't be separated.

B.No pain，no gain.

D.Only those who bear(容忍)the most become the highest.

Like many other countries around the world, China hopes to explore the moon. It has already done so with several probes(探測器) and lunar rover(月球車). But it has even bigger plans to put a man on the moon in the near future.

Yang Liwei, China's first man in space, said that it will "not take long" for a manned mission(任務(wù))to get offcial agreement and money support, according to the Xinhua News Agency.

China's space programme is still young compared to those of the United States and Russia. But it has already made great achievements in exploring the moon. Its moon mission began with Chang'e 1, an unmanned orbital(軌道)probe that was sent up in October,2007. It collected data that was used to create a 3-D map of the moon's surface.

China achieved another achievement with the Chang'e 3 mission. For this mission, China's first lunar rover, Yutu, successfully landed on the moon.

For China's space programme, it was another great achievement that Chang'e 4, the second lunar rover successfully landed on the moon's far side, an area that has not yet been explored, in December, 2018.

China will follow Chang'e 4 with a series of other lunar mission. These missions will include taking lunar soil and rock samples, building "moon base, and hopefully landing a human on the moon's surface around 2030, according to Zhao Xiaojin, a senior official at the China Academy of Space Technology.

Last year, when Yang Liwei was asked if he had any plans to visit the moon himself, he replied, "If I am given the chance, no problem!" It is likely that many other Chinese share Yang's excitement about this new stage of China's space exploration efforts.

1.Which of the following countries may be better than China in space programme?

2.China has already made great achievements in exploring the moon, such as, Chang'e 1 was ________ .

A.is China's first man on the moon

B.is worried about China's future space programme

C.will be given a chance to visit the moon himself

D.believes it won't take long to put a man on the moon for China.

If you d 2.that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance(寬容). Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We cannot change the w3. that other people do, so it is important to learn to live h 4. with them.

Tolerance will make everyone get on b 5. with each other. Knowing others constantly(不斷地) make us understand others’ differences

Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance t 6.us to keep an even temper and open mind.

You need to remember an old saying, "Treat others how you want to be treated. "You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, s 7. it is important to treat them kindly too. if you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just m 8. that you should respect the differences in others and not to try to make them change.

The hot topic “Should paying extra money lead to better treatment?” is being discussed. Some agree to it. Some are 1. it. People who support it think we have no 2. for blaming tourists who pay more, because they think there are first-class tickets on a plane or VIP windows in banks. Those people who 3. to it think that “paying more equals better treatment” may mislead children that all the 4. can be solved with money. And someone’s cutting in not only breaks rules, but also 5. other visitors badly. What’s your opinion?

We’ve probably all met someone who likes to show off about where he or she has been. To some people, traveling is all about how many places one has been to. But luckily, the old “been there, seen that” mode is changing.

Last year’s travel trend (趨勢) was “experiential travel”. This is where tourists look for ways to get to know local culture and meet local people so they feel less like an outsider.

So what about this year? Can creative tourists get even more out of their traveling experience?

Transformative travel

Transformative (起改變作用的) travel is much like “experiential travel”, but takes it a step further.

It usually goes through three steps – you go to a place that has a very different background from where you live, you learn wisdom from the new culture and the people you meet, and finally you go back home and use the knowledge in your own lives. This last step is how the “transformation” is completed and what separates transformative travel from experiential travel.

Go green

One way to plan a green trip is to travel a shorter distance, which can reduce your carbon footprint (碳排放量). “One trans-Atlantic flight equals a year’s worth of driving, so taking a trip in this way can help protect the environment,” suggested Warren, according to US News.

Another way to go green in your travel plans is to choose a place that will be helped most from your trip. For example, places like Nepal will enjoy an increase in its local economy (經(jīng)濟(jì)) through the trip.

Disappearing sights

Some sights at risk of disappearing are also welcoming an increasing number of tourists.

Everett Potter, a USA Today writer, says that the Arctic and Antarctic have attracted more and more tourists since they are being greatly influenced by climate (氣候) change.

Another top sight is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It’s believed that the reef will be seriously harmed in just a few years because of pollution and global warming. Travelers look forward to seeing the coral (珊瑚) “before it’s gone or completely changed”, Potter told US News.
