20、le who will get into their cars and go straight to the center of the storm. these people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.“storm chasing ” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby , especially in the midwest

21、of the united states, where there are frequent storms between march and july. a storm chaser begins the day by checking the internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.although anyone can do it , storm chasing

22、 is extremely dangerous. the power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. if you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm s

23、eason.even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. “storm chasing is 95% driving,” says daniel lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”however, f

24、or storm chasers, it is all worth it. “when you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says jasper morley. “every storm is an example of the power of nature, it is the greatest show on earth.”46. for storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to

28、e naturally wired to sleep best at night and be awake during the day. however, modern work schedules require some people to try to accommodate the unnatural schedule of shift(輪班)work being awake at night and sleeping during the day.in order to make this adjustment, you need to pay special attention

29、to your sleep environment and your preparation for sleep. if shift work is a necessary part of your work life, here are some suggestions that may help.arrange to sleep uninterrupted in a quiet, dark room. this means you may have to turn off or unplug your phone, hang darkening curtains on the window

30、s or wear a sleep eye mask, and train your family and friends to leave you alone while you sleep.fit in a nap(小睡). when your daytime sleep period is too short, taking a short nap of less than 30 minutes just before work or on a break has been shown to improve alertness and enhance performance.develo

31、p and follow a sleep routine. its best if you go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. try not to vary this too much at weekends. your body likes routine.take extra care to make healthy choices. you may be tempted to reach for unhealthy foods or nicotine to stay awake or alcohol to try to

32、 sleep. but ultimately these choices are more harmful than helpful.if you have tried all these things and are still having problems getting enough quality sleep during the day, talk to your doctor or a sleep specialist. sometimes medications(藥物治療)may be helpful and safe. in other cases, there may be

37、risis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. the result is a global food crisis. wheat, corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years. and oil prices have increased more than three times since the start of 2004.these food-price increases, combined with increasing energy

38、costs, will slow if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even affect political stability. practical solutions to these problems do exist, but well have to start thinking ahead and acting globally.here are three steps to ease the current food crisis and avoid the potential for

39、 a global crisis. the first is to promote the dramatic success of malawi, a country in southern africa, which three years ago established a special fund to help its farmers get fertilizer and seeds with high productivity. malawis harvest doubled after just one year. an international fund based on th

40、e malawi model would cost a mere $10 per person annually in the rich world, or $10 billion altogether.second, the u.s. and europe should abandon their policies of paying partly for the change of food into biofuels. the u.s. government gives farmers a taxpayer-financed payment of 51 cents per gallon

41、of ethanol(乙醇) changed from corn. there may be a case for biofuels produced on lands that do not produce foods but tree crops, grass and wood products, but theres no case for the government to pay to put the worlds dinner into the gas tank.third, we urgently need to weather-proof the worlds crops as

42、 soon and as effectively as possible. for a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pondwhich collects rainwater to be used in dry weathercan make the difference between a good harvest and a bad one. the world has already committed to establishing a climate adaptation fund to help poor

43、regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has not yet acted upon the promise.54. an international fund based on the malawi model would _ .a. cost each of the developed countries $10 billion per yearb. aim to double the harvest in southern african cou

44、ntries in a yearc. decrease the food prices as well as the energy pricesd. give poor farmers access to fertilizer and highly productive seeds55. with the second step, the author expresses the idea that _ . a. it is not wise to change food crops into gas b. it is misleading to put tree crops into the

45、 gas tank c. we should get alternative forms of fuel in any way d. biofuels should be developed on a large scale56. in the passage, the author calls on us to _ . a. slow down but not to stop economic growth b. develop tree crops, grass and wood products c. achieve economic growth and political stabi

46、lity d. act now so as to relieve the global food shortagedlaws that would have ensured pupils from 5 to 16 to receive a full financial education got lost in the wash up. an application is calling on the next government to bring it back.at school the children are taught to add up and subtract(減法) but

47、, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.today the parenting website mumsnet and the consumer campaigner martin lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financia

48、l education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in england. children from 5 to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say. and that was exactly the plan preserved in the children, schools and families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-calle

49、d “wash-up” earlier this month the rush to legislation before parliament was dismissed. consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum.as the personal finance education group (pfeg) points out, the good habits of young c

50、hildren do not last long. over 75% of seven- to-eleven-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of them are in debt to family and friends. by this age, 26% see a credit card or overdraft(透支) as a way of extending their spending power. pfeg predicts that these young people will

51、“find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their parents generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school.”the uk has been in the worst financial recession(衰退)for generations. it does seem odd that unless parents step in you

52、ng people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university. in a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents.57. the passage is mainly about _.a. how to manage school
