Mrs. Brown lives by herself in a trailer park near Clovis. She said that Clyde, her 7-year-old cat, didnt come home for dinner more than a month ago. The next morning he didnt appear for breakfast either. After Clyde missed an extra-special lunch, she called the police.When the policeman asked her to describe Clyde, she told him that Clyde had beautiful green eyes, had all his teeth but was missing half of his left ear, and was seven years old and completely white. She then told the officer that Clyde was about a foot high.A bell went off. “Is Clyde your child or your pet?” the officer suspiciously asked. “Well, hes my cat, of course,” Mrs. Brown replied. “Lady, youre supposed to report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS,” said the sppeadeotoned policeman. “Well, who can I report this to?” she asked. “You cant. You have to ask around your neighborhood or put up flyers,” replied the officer.Mrs. Brown figured that a billboard would work a lot better than an 8”x11” piece of paper on a telephone pole. There was an empty billboard at the end of her street just off the interstate（州际公路） highway. The billboard had a phone number on it. She called that number, and they told her they could blow up a picture of Clyde (from Mrs. Browns family album) and put it on the billboard for all to see.“But how can people see it when they whiz（快速移动） by on the interstate?” she asked. “Oh, dont worry, maam, they only whiz by between 2 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. The rest of the day, the interstate is so full of commuters that no one moves.” They told her it would cost only $3,000 a month. So she took most of the money out of her savings account and rented the billboard for a month.The month has passed, but Clyde has not appeared. Because she has almost no money in savings, Mrs. Brown called the local newspaper to see if anyone could help her rent the billboard for just one more month. She is waiting but, so far, no one has stepped forward.（1）How long has the cat been missing?A . More than a monthB . More than two monthsC . More than three monthsD .

This sound brought the piece of news:a heavy storm was coming. William Tom, principal（校长）of the school, asked teachers to bring children indoors and put them in a safe place at once.Minutes later, the storm came. However, because of the warning of the radio and the quick work of the principal, no one was hurt.“The radio really did work very well.（我们对它的工作感到很高兴），”William Tom said. “The parents were as well.”The U.S. government hopes there will be more such success stories. It plans to give this kind of radios to all 97,000 public schools in the country.Every year, more than 10,000 big thunderstorms, 2,500 floods, 1,000 tornadoes（龙卷风）and some hurricanes（飓风）take place in the U.S., so the warning radios are very useful.
