28、he area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk(冒危险 )being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up. “ St
29、orm chasing(追逐 )” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby(喜好 ), especially in the Midwest 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 w
30、here the storm will be and waits for it to develop. Although anyone can do it , storm chasing 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 ar
31、e a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season. 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 wa
32、iting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.” However, for 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, I

36、m chasing is only fit for young people. (B) LiveScience (June 19, 2008) A new type of solar energy collector concentrates(聚集 ) the sun into a beam that could melt steel. Researchers say that it could revolutionize(革命化 ) global energy production. The design is a 12-foot-wide mirrored dish which was m
37、ade from a lightweight, thin, inexpensive metal and mirror. “ This is actually the most efficient(有效的 ) solar collector at present,” said Doug Wood, an inventor based in Washington State who patented (申请专利 ) key parts of the dish s design the rights to which he has signed over (转到 .名下 ) to a team of
38、 students at MIT. To test the design this week, MIT mechanical engineer Spencer Ahrens put a piece of wood there which turns into smoke immediately. The thing does more than burn wood, of course. Ahrens and his teammates have started a company, RawSolar, to hopefully produce the dishes. They could b
39、e set up to provide steam for industrial processing, or for heating or cooling buildings. Once produced largely, these dishes should pay for themselves within two years or so with the energy they produce , the students figure. Wood, the inventor , said the students built the dish and improved on his
40、 design. “ They really have made it more simple and user-friendly, so anybody can build it,” he said. Small dishes work best because it requires much less support structure and costs less for a given amount of collection area. “ Ive looked for years at a variety of solar ways , and this is the cheap
41、est Ive seen ,”said MIT Sloan School of Management lecturer David Pelly, in whose class the project first took shape last fall. “And the key thing in scaling it globally is that all of the materials are inexpensive and easy to get anywhere in the world.” 60.According to the passage, the solar energy
42、 collector . A. is made from expensive materials B. is a little difficult to carry and use C. will be better if it is a bigger one D. can produce high heat soon 61.We can learn from the passage that_ . A. the solar energy collector will have a big market B. RawSolar produces not only solar dishes C.
43、 the new type of solar dish has offered products D. many other companies can produce the solar dish freely 62. The underlined part “ scaling it” in the last paragraph probably means “ ” A. making it useful B. making it popular C. getting it changed D. making it cheap 63. Whats the best title for the
44、 passage? A. Solar dish means a way to go against pollution B. Solar energyan inexpensive energy C. Solar dish could revolutionize energy production D. Solar dish is the protector of world environment (C) Are some people born clever， and others born stupid？ Or is intelligence（智力） developed by our environment（环境） and our experiences？ Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. Our intelligence is partly given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low
