It’s always exciting t receive a letter in the mail. Even tday, when the wrld is digitally cnnected, receiving an actual letter in yur mailbx frm a distant land is a great way fr children t make new friends.
The Peaceful Pen Pals Prject is a beautiful prject that blends tgether glbal cnnectin and self-expressin. The prject is part f the nnprfit Kids fr Peace, funded by Jill McManigal and Danielle Gram in Califrnia in 2006. It is pen t all children, ages tw thrugh seventeen. T date, there are 1,500 children frm 17 cuntries participating in the prgram accrding t the rganizatin. Currently, all letters are written in English. When children sign up, they can select if they wuld rather be matched with a USA Peaceful Pen Pal r an internatinal ne.
Each child is then matched t a pen pal f similar age. This establishes a pint f cnnectin quickly fr the children and facilitates（促进） a strnger bnd. If the letter writers are in the same grade, they can chat abut schl, their teachers, and what they are studying. They can als cmpare what different states r cuntries learn abut and hw the atmsphere f the classrm are, whether scially r academically. Children may als be mre likely t write abut prblems they are having if they feel like they are speaking t a peer in a similar situatin. Althugh pen pals may live in different cuntries, they may find cmmn grund. The writer lists their favrite activities t d utside, plus what they like best and least abut schl. This gives the writer an pprtunity t express and receive advice r feedback（反馈） frm the pen pal.
“Hearing first-hand stries frm an internatinal pen pal can encurage teens t take smene else’s viewpint and t think utside f themselves,” writes Rebecca Fraser-Thill n Very Well Family. “Having a freign pen pal can als encurage interest in gegraphy, histry and culture.”
28. What can we knw abut the Peaceful Pen Pals Prject?

C. It encurages children t help peple in need.D. It is created fr teenagers t take nline lessns.

A. The necessity f discussin in study.B. The appraches t making new friends.
C. The purpse f the Peaceful Pen Pals Prject.D. The benefits f having friends f similar ages.
30. What is Rebecca Fraser-Thill’s attitude twards the prject?
A. Careful.B. Supprtive.C. Uninterested. D. Disappinted.
31. What is the best title f this text?
A. Writing Enriches Kids’ LifeB. Friendship Teaches Kids a Lessn

Almst everyne has heard the expressin, “the calm befre the strm.” It is usually used t describe a peaceful perid just befre a very stressful situatin r a tense argument.
British sailrs cined the phrase in the late 1600s; they nted that befre certain strms the seas wuld seem t becme static and the winds wuld drp. But why is it ften s calm befre a strm?
Science has given us the answer. Accrding t a US website Hw Stuff Wrks, a calm perid ccurs because many strms, such as trnades and hurricanes draw in all the warm and humid air frm the surrunding area. As this air rises int the strm cluds, it cls and acts as “fuel fr the strm like petrl in a car”. Once the strm has taken all the energy it can frm the air, it is pushed ut frm the tp f the strm clud sand falls back dwn t grund level. As the air descends（下降）, it becmes warm and dry. Warm, dry air is stable, s nce it cvers an area, it causes a calm perid befre the strm. This same prcess als causes the “eye f the strm” in hurricanes and trnades. In these cnditins, the calm ccurs in the center f the strm because f the strng rtating（旋转的） winds.
The Weather Netwrk has a tip fr wrking ut hw far away a strm is. First, cunt hw many secnds there are between a flash f lightning and a clap f thunder. Rughly three secnds equal ne kilmeter. S, fr example, if yu cunt nine secnds, the strm is abut 3 kilmeters away. A gd gauge（评估） is that if yur cunt is belw 30 secnds, yu shuld seek safe place straight away.
Hwever, due t the cmplexity f strm system, nt all strms cme after calm. Given the right cnditins, sme strms annunce themselves with heavy rain and chilling（寒冷的） winds. S, yur best bet is t keep yurself updated with weather reprts fr any predictins regarding a cming strm in yur area. That’s the mst reliable and sensible way t predict the next display f nature’s temper.
32. The underlined wrd “static” in Paragraph 2 prbably means ______.
A. vilentB. quietC. fast-changingD. warm
33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly talking abut?
A. T explain hw a strm cmes int being.
B. T supprt previus research n strm cluds.
C. T explain why a peaceful perid ccurs befre a strm.
D. T shw hw dangerus a strm can be in certain situatins.
34. What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A. It is nt always quiet befre a strm.B. Strms have a big influence n life.
C. Weather reprts may fail t predict a strm.D. Heavy strms dn’t usually last fr a lngtime.

It’s always exciting t receive a letter in the mail. Even tday, when the wrld is digitally cnnected, receiving an actual letter in yur mailbx frm a distant land is a great way fr children t make new friends.
The Peaceful Pen Pals Prject is a beautiful prject that blends tgether glbal cnnectin and self-expressin. The prject is part f the nnprfit Kids fr Peace, funded by Jill McManigal and Danielle Gram in Califrnia in 2006. It is pen t all children, ages tw thrugh seventeen. T date, there are 1,500 children frm 17 cuntries participating in the prgram accrding t the rganizatin. Currently, all letters are written in English. When children sign up, they can select if they wuld rather be matched with a USA Peaceful Pen Pal r an internatinal ne.
Each child is then matched t a pen pal f similar age. This establishes a pint f cnnectin quickly fr the children and facilitates（促进） a strnger bnd. If the letter writers are in the same grade, they can chat abut schl, their teachers, and what they are studying. They can als cmpare what different states r cuntries learn abut and hw the atmsphere f the classrm are, whether scially r academically. Children may als be mre likely t write abut prblems they are having if they feel like they are speaking t a peer in a similar situatin. Althugh pen pals may live in different cuntries, they may find cmmn grund. The writer lists their favrite activities t d utside, plus what they like best and least abut schl. This gives the writer an pprtunity t express and receive advice r feedback（反馈） frm the pen pal.
“Hearing first-hand stries frm an internatinal pen pal can encurage teens t take smene else’s viewpint and t think utside f themselves,” writes Rebecca Fraser-Thill n Very Well Family. “Having a freign pen pal can als encurage interest in gegraphy, histry and culture.”

Almst everyne has heard the expressin, “the calm befre the strm.” It is usually used t describe a peaceful perid just befre a very stressful situatin r a tense argument.
British sailrs cined the phrase in the late 1600s; they nted that befre certain strms the seas wuld seem t becme static and the winds wuld drp. But why is it ften s calm befre a strm?
Science has given us the answer. Accrding t a US website Hw Stuff Wrks, a calm perid ccurs because many strms, such as trnades and hurricanes draw in all the warm and humid air frm the surrunding area. As this air rises int the strm cluds, it cls and acts as “fuel fr the strm like petrl in a car”. Once the strm has taken all the energy it can frm the air, it is pushed ut frm the tp f the strm clud sand falls back dwn t grund level. As the air descends（下降）, it becmes warm and dry. Warm, dry air is stable, s nce it cvers an area, it causes a calm perid befre the strm. This same prcess als causes the “eye f the strm” in hurricanes and trnades. In these cnditins, the calm ccurs in the center f the strm because f the strng rtating（旋转的） winds.
The Weather Netwrk has a tip fr wrking ut hw far away a strm is. First, cunt hw many secnds there are between a flash f lightning and a clap f thunder. Rughly three secnds equal ne kilmeter. S, fr example, if yu cunt nine secnds, the strm is abut 3 kilmeters away. A gd gauge（评估） is that if yur cunt is belw 30 secnds, yu shuld seek safe place straight away.
Hwever, due t the cmplexity f strm system, nt all strms cme after calm. Given the right cnditins, sme strms annunce themselves with heavy rain and chilling（寒冷的） winds. S, yur best bet is t keep yurself updated with weather reprts fr any predictins regarding a cming strm in yur area. That’s the mst reliable and sensible way t predict the next display f nature’s temper.
32. The underlined wrd “static” in Paragraph 2 prbably means ______.
A. vilentB. quietC. fast-changingD. warm
33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly talking abut?
A. T explain hw a strm cmes int being.
B. T supprt previus research n strm cluds.
C. T explain why a peaceful perid ccurs befre a strm.
D. T shw hw dangerus a strm can be in certain situatins.
34. What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A. It is nt always quiet befre a strm.B. Strms have a big influence n life.
C. Weather reprts may fail t predict a strm.D. Heavy strms dn’t usually last fr a lngtime.
