If you want to deal with the association (交往) between boys and girl right, here are some “do’s and don’ts” for you to follow.

Keep a normal and healthy state of mind (心态). It is very natural for the boys and girls to contact (接触) each other and build up the friendship with students of the other sex. We should have more friends of the other sex instead of one or two. We should contact the students in public instead of in secret.

Contact students of the other sex warmly, generously and sincerely. Don’t be too nervous or too shy in contact with a person of the other sex. In that case it is very difficult for you to make a lot of friends, as no one likes a person who is too shy to say a word. If you are too shy a person, you can contact the students with the same interest and hobby as you. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will find you are also as free to express yourself as others.

Don’t fall into the ditch (泥潭) of early love. The boys and girls at adolescence (青春期) are rich in feelings an early age. In my opinion, boys and girls at middle school are too young and too tender (嫩的) to shoulder the heavy duty of love. Early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. Do keep out of early love.

51. We should contact students of the other sex in the following ways EXCEPT _______ .

A. with a good state of mind B. in public C. in secret

52. The underlined word “imagination” means ____________ .

A. 想象力 B. 幻觉 C. 梦想

53. A person at adolescence is NOT ________________ .

A. rich in feeling

B. full of imagination

C. old enough to fall in love

54. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. We’d better not make only one or two friends of the other sex.

B. Some students are too nervous or too shy in contact with a person of the other sex.

C. People like a person who always keeps silent.

55. The main idea of the reading is to _______ .

A. tell students to keep away from early love

B. give some advice on how to deal with the association between boys and girls

C. say contact does good not only to boys but also to girls

Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September.

How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles, and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second, a typhoon begins.

A typhoon has two parts, one is called the “eye”. In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. This is where the strongest wind and hardest rains are.

Typhoons are very dangerous. In 2004, Typhoon Yunna killed 164 people in Zhejiang, and 24 people were missing. In May 2006, Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian, and thousands of houses were damaged.

What to do when a typhoon hits:

●Stay inside, close all the windows and stay away from them.

●Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!

●Listen to the radio or TV for important information.

●If you’re told to go to a safer place, do so right away.

61. Typhoons often happen A. in the hot season B. in the cold season

C. only in China D. under the sea

62. Which picture can tell meaning of the underlined sentences“…，it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then, cooler air around it rushes in.”?

63. When a typhoon comes, we cannot .

A. close all the windows B. listen to typhoon news

C. stay outside with our bikes D. stay inside the strong house

64. This passage is mainly about A. the knowledge of typhoon B. the eye of a typhoon

C. the names of typhoon D. the most dangerous typhoon Yunna

65. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The warmer the air gets, the slower the wind moves.

B. This year Typhoon Pearl killed 164 people in Zhejiang.

C. The strongest winds and harder rains are in the eye of typhoon.

D. A typhoon will happen when the wind goes faster than 30 meters a second.
