    At first the girls moved their bodies from side to side． Mom said firmly，"You must stay staring at each other for five minutes． Each minute you don't make eye contact （眼神交流） means another minute sitting in the chairs．" They both wanted out， so they had to sit there and look at each other．

    Felicia looked at Maria's pouting （噘嘴的） face while Maria looked at Felicia's angry face．They each thought the other one looked ridiculous （可笑的）． In fact， they were being ridiculous to fight and be mad at each other over nothing．

Once upon a time there lived a great storyteller whose stories gave both children and adults a lot of pleasure and enjoyment． He told a story about an emperor who loved new clothes and about a tiny girl who was no taller than a person's thumb （拇指）．

    That storyteller's name was Hans Christian Andersen． He was born in Denmark． He wrote more than 150 stories， which are told in many countries． He became the first author to write and publish his own fairy tales． Andersen grew up poor． His father was a shoemaker， and his mother could hardly read．Andersen once said，"Most of what I have written is a reflection of myself．"His fairy tale， The Ugly Duckling，about a duckling that is laughed by other animals until it grows up to be a swan （天鹅）， was written according to his own experience as a child． His other famous fairy tales include The Little Match Girl， The Daughter of the Sea and The Snow Queen．

    Andersen's fans celebrated the anniversary （周年纪念日） of his 200th birthday in 2005．

    People are told his fairy tales in many countries． They organized different kinds of celebrations to remind people of Andersen and Andersen's fairy tales．

    In Denmark， 15﹣foot﹣tall puppets（木偶）danced in mid﹣air every night from May until September．In Singapore， the post office published a series （系列） of Andersen stamps． And in Egypt， the library in Alexandria showed Andersen's books， which were translated into 150 languages! In New York City's Central Park， storyteller Ellen Shapiro told The Real Princess to a crowd of children．

    "Andersen's stories have everything，" Shapiro told the reporter．"They are funny and sad and enjoyable． I never get tired of them．"

    Storytellers such as Shapiro love continuing Andersen's tradition．Shapiro doesn't memorize her favorite stories， however． Instead， she learns what happens at the beginning， middle， and end．She changes the words of a story to fit the listeners． So no two tellings of a story are exactly alike．

A tornado （龙卷风） is a kind of strong storm with air which moves in a circle quickly． They can move over 200 miles per hour and cause a lot of damage （损坏）． As they move across the land， they can easily pick up cars， trucks， and even houses， and then throw them very far． It is important to find a safe place if a tornado gets close．

    A safe place could be a basement （地下室） or the lowest floor． If you are in a home without a basement， try to find a first﹣floor bathroom or a small room without windows in the middle of your house． You should curl up （蜷缩） into a ball and cover your head and neck with your hands．

    But there are some people who actually want to get close to tornadoes． They are scientists who want to learn more about tornadoes． One of the best ways to do this is to get as close as possible to the tornado． They use special tools to measure （测量） what is happening in and around a tornado．

    One special tool is called a tornado probe （探测仪）． Inside the tornado probe， there are sensors （传感器） to measure wind speed， temperature，pressure，and direction．Some probes even have cameras， so the scientists can see and understand what it's like to be in a tornado．

    To be able to get these measurements，the scientists have to get a tornado probe near or into a tornado．Scientists will try to guess where a tornado will go next． Then they drive to that location and put down the probe． If they do not guess correctly， they pick up their probe and try another place．If they are right，the tornado will go near or even right over the probe． Then they take all of the measurements from the probe and use them to predict where future tornadoes may form （形成）and travel． And they can give people some warning to keep away from a dangerous tornado．

George Reeder， 63， has been given a bravery certificate （证书） because of saving the life of a baby．

    It was a cold and windy morning．The local harbor（海港）master，George Reeder，（1）_____（do）his daily work when he heard a noise． On the other side of the harbor， some people were shouting，so he went there quickly by bicycle．

    "What's the matter？ Why they （2）　　（shout）？" George Reeder wondered while he was riding there．

    "Help! Help my baby!" A woman was screaming （高声喊），"My baby （3）　　（be） in the buggy （婴儿车） in the sea．"

    Mr． Reeder looked at the sea， and saw a baby's buggy in the deep freezing cold water． The strong wind had blown the buggy into the sea． Mr． Reeder quickly decided to do something．

    "I went over and saw that the buggy was upside down …and I（4）　　（jump） in，"

said Mr． Reeder． He pulled the buggy over to the sea wall． Then some other people came to help．

    They tied a rope to the buggy and managed to pull it out of the water and to safety．

    Tanya Allen， a nurse who was passing by， gave the baby CPR （心肺复苏术） and was able to get him to breathe again． Then an air ambulance helicopter （急救直升机） arrived and the baby（5）　　（take） to hospital．

    After he'd finished （6）　　 （help） the baby and the helicopter had gone， Mr．Reeder went home． A little later， the baby's grandfather went to his house and said， "Thanks a lot for what you（7）　　（do）． The boy is out of danger． He（8）　　 （leave） the hospital in two days．" Mr． Reeder was very happy to hear that．

    Mr． Reeder said that he hadn't really been brave．"It was everyone﹣ from Tanya doing the CPR to the helicopter pilot，" he said．"I'm just glad I could（9）　　 （help）．" But when Mr． Reeder got the certificate， a reporter said，"This was a very brave act， as he put his own life at risk．"

    （10）　　 （warn） the people not to walk along the seafront in very windy weather， Mr． Reeder has advised the government to put up some signs． "Hope this will help，" said Mr． Reeder．

Paul and Bill are from different colleges． Paul applies （申请） for an online school， while Bill attends classes at school． They each believe that their school system （制度） is better than the other．

    Paul： Hey， Bill． Are you （1）f　　to see a movie tonight？

    Bill： Sorry， no． I'll have a class and a lot of homework to do．

    Paul： Oh， that's too bad． I'm so glad I take classes online． I can decide （2）w　　 ， where and how to complete my lessons．

    Bill： Sounds good， but I really enjoy going to class （3）b　　it's a great way to get to know other people． It also helps me learn how to work well with others． If I don't understand something，I'm always able to ask about it in person．

    Paul： In online classes， I have to （4）t　　 completely before asking questions． That teaches me how to solve problems on my own．

    Bill： Do you ever （5）m　　 technical （技术上的） problems in your online classes？ If you can't open a file （文件）， how can you continue your learning？

    Paul： It's not a big problem． I can email the teacher or call up another student for help．

    Bill： But that takes too much time． You may fall behind on your studies．

    Paul： You may （6）a　　fall behind．What will happen if you get sick？ It isn't a （7）p　roblem　for online classes．

    Bill： Yes， but my teacher and classmates can help me．

    Paul： In an online class， I don't have to （8）w　　about missing classes for any reason． I can always review the previous （先前的） lessons online．

    Bill： Don't you feel lonely sometimes？ I would feel lonely if I had to learn by myself．

    Paul： I enjoy learning alone． Besides， an online class gives me more free time to take part in other activities．

For years， it has been said that newspapers are at death's door．Every year brings more news of closing．But why is the situation so terrible for newspapers？

    Newspapers have a long history． The first newspaper was printed in the 1600s． Their most successful period is in the early 20th century．

    With the appearance of radio and TV， however， newspaper circulation （发行量） began to fall．（3）By the mid﹣20th century，radio and TV had become so popular that people no longer had to depend on newspapers for news． That was especially true for breaking （突发的） news．

    Afternoon newspapers were the first to suffer （受损害）． After work， more and more people turned on TV instead of opening a newspaper． That was because TV could provide news happening a short time ago． It's true that newspapers couldn't compete with TV on speed， but they could provide in﹣depth （深入详尽的） reports that TV news could not．

    But newspapers suffered another， heavier blow （打击） in the 1990s． With the appearance of the Internet， tons of information became free． Many newspaper readers realized that they could read news on the Internet． There seemed to be little reason to pay for a newspaper subscription （订阅）．

    So what does the future hold？ Will newspapers die？ Maybe not． Many newspapers are now making changes． Some are going digital （数字的）． Some are going farther and taking the industry to places it has never been to． After all， people still want the news． And many agree that newspapers are still an important source （来源） of in﹣depth news， analysis （分析） and opinions．

    （4）If newspapers disappear completely．there will be nothing to take their place．

A．根据短文内容简要回答问题．

（1）What made the newspaper circulation fall？　　

（2）Will newspapers disappear？ Why or why not？（选择一种情况作答）　　

B．将短文中划线的句子译成汉语．

（3）　　

（4）　　

C．请给短文拟一个适当的英文标题．

（5）
