A great number of people in the world have never seen snow.Others see more of it than they want to. Hail is much more common; it happens even in deserts.

Hail is a small round ball of alternating layers(交互层) of snow and clear ice. It forms inside large dark clouds that you can see before or during a storm. There are two ideas about how hailstones from.

One idea shows that hail forms when drops of water freeze in the upper air.

As they fall, they collect more drops of water. They also collect snow. The ice and snow build up in layers. If you cut a hailstone, you can see these alternating layers.

The other idea says that hail starts as a raindrop. The wind carries it higher into the atmosphere(大气层), where it gets covered by snow. It becomes heavy and begins to fall. As it falls, it gets a layer of water, which freezes.

Then the wind carries it back to the snow area, and it gets another layer of snow. This can happen a number of times. Finally the hailstone is too heavy to travel on the wind, and it falls to the ground.

Only a thunderstorm(暴风雨), a storm with loud noises and lightning can produce hail, but very few of them do. Perhaps only one in 400 thunderstorms creates hailstones.

A hailstone is usually less than eight centimeters in diameter. However, hailstones can be much bigger than that. Sometimes they are as big as baseballs. The largest hailstone which people have ever recorded weighed over 680 grams and had a diameter of thirteen centimeters.

Hail can cause the death of plants, especially since hail usually appears in the middle of summer, when the plants are partly grown. If the crops are destroyed, it is too late to plant more, and the farmer has lost everything. In one terrible hailstorm in 1923 in Rostov, in Ukraine, twenty-three people and many farm animals were killed.

1.Which of the following is about HAIL?

A. 　　 B. 　　 C. 　　 D.

2.According to the passage, which of the following is the fact about hail?

A. Hail is formed of snow and ice.　　 B. Hail can’t be found in desert any more.

C. Hail often comes in cold winter.　　 D. People can see snow more often than hail.

3.What does the underlined word “them” in the fifth paragraph refer to?

A. Noises.　　 B. Hailstones.　　 C. Thunderstorms.　　 D. Deserts.

4.What do farmers most probably think of hail according to the last paragraph?

A. Unusual.　　 B. Common.　　 C. Useful.　　 D. Terrible.

5.What’s the passage mainly about?

A. Different ideas about how hail forms.　　 B. A brief introduction about hail.

C. The size and the weight of hailstones.　　 D. The influence that hail causes.

Nearly 2. 4 billion people around the world used a smart phone in 2017. By the end of 2018, more than a third of the global population will be using smart phones. Those numbers sound great, don't they? More people will have more information at their fingertips. However, smart phone technology can be a double-edged sword（双刃剑）.

On one hand, it sends us endless information. We don't have to wait. Our devices ring, vibrate（振动）and light up with the latest news from family, friends and around the world. On the other hand, this immediate way to information may become an addiction（瘾）. And it may make some people feel lonely, worried and stressed.

These findings are from a 2018 study from Erik Peper and Richard Harvey who are both health education teachers at San Francisco State University. They led the study.

The two teachers asked 135 university students about their smart phone use and their feelings. They found that "students who used their phones the most reported higher levels of feeling—lonely, stressed and worried."

But Erik Peper suggests turning off push notifications（推送提醒）and other such alerts on our phones. The researchers also suggest taking control of when and where you answer a text, a message or an email. You do not need to answer them all. And you certainly don't need to answer them as soon as you get them. They also suggest setting limits on the time you spend on smart phones. If you want to catch up with friends, set aside a small amount of time to it. Focus on important tasks and do not allow technology to take up your time.

More than 50,000,000 people live in the rainforests of the world and most of them do not hurt the forest they live in. They eat the fruits that grow on the forest trees, but they do not cut them down. They kill some animals to eat, but they do not destroy them.

When we cut down the rainforests, we destroy these forest people, too. In 1900, there were 1,000,000 forest people in the Amazon forest. In 1980, there were only 200,000.

The Yanomami live along the rivers of the rainforest in the north of Brazil. They have lived in the rainforest for about 10,000 years and they use more than 2,000 different plants for food and for medicine. But in 1988, someone found gold in their forest, and suddenly 45,000 people came to the forest and began looking for gold. They cut down the forest to make roads. They made more than a hundred airports. The Yanomami people lost land and food. Many died because new diseases came to the forest with the strangers.

The Yanomami people tried to save their forest, because it was their home. But the people who wanted gold were stronger.

Many forest people try to save their forests. Chico Mendes was famous in Brazil because he wanted to keep the forest for his people. “I want the Amazon forest to help all of us-forest people Brazil, and all the Earth,” he said. A few months later, in December 1988, people who wanted to cut down the forest killed Chico Mendes.

In Borneo, people were cutting down the forest of the Penan people to sell the wood. The Penan people tried to save their rainforest. They made blockades across the roads into the forest. In 1987, they closed fifteen roads for eight months. No one cut down any trees during that time.

In Panama, the Kuna people saved their forest. They made a forest park which tourists pay to visit.

The Gavioes people of Brazil use the forest, but they protect it as well. They find and sell the Brazil nuts(坚果) which grow on the forest trees.

1.The number of the people living in the Amazon forest in 1980 was _______ of that in1900.

2.The people who _______ have destroyed the rainforest of the Yanomami.

3.Those people built roads and airports in order to ________.

4.We can infer the underlined word blockades probably means:

5. From the passage, we learn that _________.
