Each year, tornadoes kill many people. The storms often carry homes, cars and trees from one place to another. And they can also destroy anything when they pass by.A tornado comes from a thunderstorm(雷雨) in the sky down to the ground. It is big at the top and small at the bottom.A tornado appears when winds in different directions meet in the cloud and begin to turn in circles. People can see tornadoes almost everywhere in the world. But most happen from late winter to middle summer. There is a second high season in November. During spring, warm air moves north and mixes with the cold air left from winter. In November, the opposite happens. Cold air moves south and mixes with the warm air left from summer.Tornadoes always come suddenly. Weather scientists have done something to predict(预测) tornadoes.

There are some countries where people seem to be living nearly on top of each other because conditions are overcrowded. Then there are others where it seems that hardly anybody lives. What influences this unequal distribution of people? There are specific advantages and disadvantages of living in a certain area.The two main factors that influence peoples choice of location are climate and resources. Climate is the usual weather conditions in a region. Areas that have bad weather are generally less deal as places to live in. The north and south poles at the top and bottom of the world may be beautiful in their rugged, natural way, but the disadvantage of the bitterly cold and windy conditions usually keeps people away. When it comes to climate, warm conditions and a normal amount of rainfall are advantage that attract people.Natural resources are things that we get from nature and that help us survive. Each region offers different resources, and therefore attracts different groups of people. People who enjoy the beach can make their living by catching and selling the oceans many fish and other sea creatures. Those who prefer farming can take advantage of rich soil (土壤) in valleys near rivers. Some people are willing to accept the disadvantages of the terrible conditions of deserts or mountains in order to take advantage of the resources like oil or woods. （1）The underlined part on top of in the first paragraph most likely means _.

A . The temperature isnt too low in winter.B . the resources like oil can bring them much money.C . People can make their living by catching and selling fish.D .

But only some people remember their dreams. Our dreams often include all the senses - smells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch .Sometimes we dream the same dream over and over again.Early in the twentieth century, two famous scientists developed their personal ideas about dreams. Austrian psychiatrist (奥地利心理学家) Sigmund Freud wrote a book called The Interpretation (诠释) of Dreams in 1900. Freud believed people often dream about things they want but cant have. Swiss (瑞士) psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years, but he believed dreams provide solutions to problems we face when we are awake. Other researchers are studying how dreaming helps our bodies work with problems and very sad emotions (感情). Robert Stickgold is a professor of psychiatry (心理学教授) at Harvard University in Massachusetts. He says that when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the world. He does not agree with Sigmund Freud that dreaming is the way we express our hidden feelings and wishes.Scientists believe it is important to keep researching dreams. Doctor Stickgold says its more than one hundred years since Sigmund Freud wrote his important book about dreaming. Yet there is still no agreement on exactly how the brain works when we are dreaming or why we dream. （1）From the passage we know _. A . dreams are remembered by everyoneB . dreams express all that we think in our mindC . dreams include all the senses and things we touchD . how the brain works while dreaming（2）A book on dreaming was written by .

You can show up as an observer（旁观者）of other interesting people and let that be a learning experience for you. Before you start talking, its important to just listen, even if you think you are a wise storyteller. If you are close to a group of people who are discussing a topic, watch their body language and see if they will let you join in their conversation.Tip 2 Youd better go in the conversation with a couple of topics to keep it going, or questions to ask if there is a short stop. Simple things like How do you know the host?”and How did you get here?” are always good conversation starters to a certain extent（在一定程度上）.Tip 3 Dont fear silences. Awkward（令人尴尬的）silences are common part of talking with people, just rush to fill them. If you dont want to go on with the conversation, just say you are going to get another drink or something to eat, and find another group to talk with.Tip 4 Relax. If you cannot keep a conversation going, or you dont know what you should say next, give yourself a little time to clear your head. Relax, and then turn back into the discussion.阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的短文，每空一词。When you meet new people, you always want to leave a good impression. But do you know how to be a good speaker? Here is some advice for you.The first advice is that you have to show up and observe or listen to others even if you can tell stories _ . If you go near a group of people, watch their body language to see if they will offer you a _ to talk with them. The second advice for you is that some topics should be _before the conversation.
