Weather is the subject matter of Westerners whenever they meet. Housewives, businessmen, factory workers as well as farmers all talk about the weather. It is everyday news, whether or not conditions change. Many newspapers carry a regular front-page news story in addition to the full reports on as inside-page provided by the weather service. Here are several different types of weather reports taken from the western papers.

Saturday: Cloud with some showers. Sunday: Mostly fine.

No.3 Weather Stories

At least six deaths were blamed on the storm. Hundreds of schools closed throughout the Upper Midwest yesterday and thousands of travelers waited out the weather at roadside shelters.
Temperatures dropped well below zero early today from the Northern Plains through the Western Great Lakes under clearing skies. A 25-below-zero reading was forecast.
Nearly a foot of snow fell on northern sections of Minnesota, Winsconsin and Michigan. And hardest hit were Duluth, Minn and Superior, Wis, where 12 inches were recorded. Winds went up to 50 miles an hour.
60. In a street corner of London, two strangers may begin their talk with ____________.

C.A nice day, isn’t it? D. Didn’t you listen to the weather report last night?

Drunken driving, sometimes called America’s socially accepted form of murder, has become a national epidemic(流行病)．Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past 10 years．A drunken driver is usually referred to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or roughly three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the America manly image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially concerning young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing trend(逆转潮流)in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.
Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already, to a marked drop in accidents，some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously drunk” and later drove the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.
As the accidents continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forgot that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.
64. What can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in New Jersey?
A. Young drivers were usually bad. B. The legal drinking age should be raised.
C. Some drivers have not reached the legal drinking age. D. Drivers should not be allowed to drink.
65. The underlined word “lenient” in the first paragraph means.
A. merciful B. cruel C. serious D. determined
66. As regards drunken driving, public opinion has changed because _____.
A. judges are no longer lenient B. new laws are introduced in some states
C. drivers do not appreciate their manly image
D. the news media have raised public attention of the problem
D
I really hadn’t meant to yell(吼叫) at them. But that grey afternoon saw it just as my son and daughter were making a terrible mess on the floor in the kitchen.
With a tiresome report to write, I felt bothered at my desk. Suddenly, it occurred to me that my kids were at fault. A voice inside me insisted that I do something quickly.
“OK, you two here, but what an awful thing you are attempting!” “I shouted angrily. I headed for them while my boy shouted back, “Get away from us!”
All of a sudden, I found the fault in myself. Quickly I shaped my hands into pincers (蟹螯) and crawled towards them. “Crabby Daddy is here. Ha, Ha, Ha, he likes to yell at children, and then eat them!” My son continued to keep me away, but now he was laughing and crying at the same time. My action to repair the damage caused by my yelling seemed to work well. Still I regretted not having controlled myself first in a right way that my children could do after.
Need I let them know how badly they were acting by blaming? This is a lesson that serves myself. It only shows just how to get rid of something (ill feelings, responsibility...) by blaming others. It’s not my “best self”.
We have to search for our “best self” when with our children. They don’t need perfect parents, but they do need parents who are always trying to get better. Here, I’m reminded of the words of a great thinker. “When a man lives with God, his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the brook.…” Then, in our lifetime, couldn’t we always speak to our kids in such a sweet voice since most of us consider them as the most precious in the world? And before we reach this level, what should we do when we come across various difficult cases with our children?
67. The author couldn’t help yelling at his kids this time probably because ________.
A. the weather was so unpleasant B. he was tired of his boring work
C. the kids didn’t ask him to join them D. a Daddy has his right to do so
68. Which of the following made the author aware of his fault?
A. No obvious reason. B. The girl’s expression. C. His self-awareness. D. The boy’s yelling back.
69. According to the passage, the author will_________ in another similar situation.
A. play a crab again like this time B. apologize to kids in a sincere way
C. avoid blaming kids in a hurry D. beat them
70. What will the writer go on to write about in the next paragraph(s)?
A. How to behave ourselves properly when kids are at fault.
B. How to blame our children in a more interesting way.
C. How to deal with the terrible mess made by our kids.
D. How to persuade children to do what they are told to.
