Seeds(种子) is very important for farmers. Have you heard of the Seed Vault (库)? A lot of countries in the world need different kinds of seeds so that they can plant them again. There is an important reason for this. Sometimes plants can’t grow in a country (A) ________ bad weather or disease, so farmers need new seeds.
You can keep seeds in a “seed vault”. It’s a place at a special temperature. The seeds don’t grow, but they can live for a long time. Norway has the biggest seed vault in the world—the Svalbard Global Seed Vault—and it has seeds from a lot of different countries.
The vault is on the island of Spitsbergen. The island is about one thousand kilometers from the North Pole. It’s a very cold place so it’s good for seeds. Above the ground, the doorway is small, but inside, the building is huge. You walk down a long corridor (走廊), which is one hundred and thirty meters inside a mountain. At the end of it, there are three large areas with seeds. There are about half a million kinds of seeds inside the vault. For example, there are kinds of seeds for nice from Asia and Africa, 32 kinds of seeds for potatoes from Ireland and seeds for different tomatoes from the USA.
The seed vault has space for a lot more seeds. You can put about 2.2 billion seeds inside. The seeds can live here for thousands of years because the temperature is about -180C. So, in the future, humans can grow any seed they want. In other words, the seed vault is the difference between life and death.

You may know that hurricanes (飓风) are tropical (热带的) storms that can lead to terrible waves, wind and rain. They happen during “Hurricane Season”, which is from June 1st until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean.
A storm continues through four different periods before it is actually considered a hurricane. First is a tropical disturbance, which has thunderstorms. Next is a tropical depression, which is similar to a tropical disturbance, but has winds between 23 and 39 miles per hour. A tropical storm is the next level, which has stronger wind speeds between 40 and 73 miles per hour. When winds reach 74 miles per hour, the storm is called a hurricane.
When a hurricane makes landfall, it can be very dangerous along coastlines because ocean waters rush onto land. When this is joined with heavy rain, there can be awful floods. As a hurricane crosses over land, it begins to reduce in strength. At this point, a hurricane can still cause a lot of damage (危害) because of high winds, rain, and flooding.
The centre of a hurricane is called the eye. While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds, the eye is actually a calm area in the storm. When the eye of a hurricane passes over land, people might think that it’s over, but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through.
Scientists use satellite images to predict (预测) where and when a hurricane will come on shore. During a hurricane watch, there is the possibility that a hurricane will make landfall within 36 hours, and people are advised to prepare for a possible storm. When a hurricane warning is announced, a hurricane is surely on the way, and will make landfall within 24 hours. People are warned to leave their homes and travel to a safe place.

【推荐2】阅读下面短文, 根据其内容, 完成表格中所缺的信息, 并按编号把答案依次填在题后的横线上。
When I first started using Chinese websites, I had some difficulty understanding their design (设计). Popular sites like Taobao and Jingdong are very “busy”—they are covered in plenty of links(链接)and flashing ads. They often include all kinds of bright colors as well. But if we take a look at most western websites, they usually have the simpler colors.
So why are Chinese websites designed this way? Some say that Chinese web design hasn’t “caught up” to standard(标准)Western web design practices. But I don’t think this quite explains it. Some Chinese sites, such as Baidu, are quite clean-looking.
A more possible explanation has to do with the Chinese language. There are no large litters or spaces in Chinese writing. That might make foreigners who are used to seeing these things in their letter writing think that Chinese text looks very crowded.
Another thing that makes Chinese websites look so busy is the large number of links. Some sites might have hundreds of links on their front page. Again, there is a language-related explanation. It is difficult to type Chinese on a Roman alphabet﹣based keyboard. You have to type out each character using pinyin, which can be inconvenient. So it’s easier just to click the link you want, instead of typing what you’re looking for.
Or perhaps it could just be that sometimes people prefer flashy and busy websites. Looking through Jindong is like stepping into a noisy, brightly-lit real-life street market. So in this way, Chinese Internet users might feel livelier when using these sites.
I wonder whether the Chinese web design has brought more Internet users who show more interest in their websites. As we know, after all, China is the leading country of the economic development online.

Are you learning a foreign language? Do you know what a successful language learner should do?
First of all, successful language learners are independent (独立的) learners. They do not depend on books or teachers. They find out their own ways to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find methods and rules for themselves. They also look for clues (线索) and get their own ideas by guessing (猜测). When they guess wrong, they try again. They try to learn from their mistakes. It is more important for them to learn to think than to know the meaning of every word.
Successful language learning is active learning, so successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language. They usually look for such a chance. They find native speakers and ask them for help when they make mistakes. They will try everything to communicate. They are not afraid to what they hear or to say strange things. Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose (目的). They want to learn the language because they are interested in native speakers' lives. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with foreigners and learn about their lives, their cultures and so on.

The main point of the passage |
All children should grow up happily and healthily. However, some children are facing or will face abuse(虐待)in their lives. They’ll be hurt or touched on private(私人的) parts of their body. We call these unsafe touches and they are abuse. Unsafe touches are scary and confusing(迷惑的)because they can seem playful or gentle. Even if it can be very hard to talk about it for children who experience unsafe touches from a friend or family member, we have to talk about it.
The following six rules are “The Protect Yourself Rules” created by Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center Foundation. Children can use these rules to know unsafe situations when they see them and to know how to get away if they need it.
Safe Touch, Unsafe Touch
We know safe touches are hugs from our family or high-fives with our friends. But unsafe touches are touches on private parts of your body. No one should ever touch you on your part of body that are covered by your bathing suit or ask you to touch their private parts. However, it is okay for a doctor to touch you on your private parts when giving you a check-up when your mom or dad is in the room.
Tell a Grown-up
If someone gives you an unsafe touch, they might want you to keep it a secret. They might make you promise or give you presents to keep you from telling. But you always have to tell. You can tell your parents or another grown-up what has happened. It’s never your fault if someone touches you like this. Keep telling until someone helps you and makes sure the unsafe touches never happen again.
Stranger Safety
A stranger is a person you don’t know. Most strangers are usually nice and friendly. We don’t have to be afraid of them but we should always make smart choices around the people we don’t know. Being smart means don’t be alone with strangers or go anywhere with them even if they seem nice.
Doesn’t Matter Who It Is
Besides strangers, we should protect ourselves from any potential abuse. Even if someone may be your friend, your private parts should never be touched. But, also keep in mind that most people are good and we shouldn’t be afraid of people around us with an uneasy psychology.
Hitting Is Wrong
If someone hits you, or you see someone is being hurt, remember to tell another grown-up. Telling teachers and asking for their help is also a good choice.
Shout, Run, Tell
If anyone makes you feel unsafe, shout “stop!” or “don’t touch me!” loudly and clearly. It doesn’t matter who it is or where you are. Shout at them to stop, run away and tell the adults you trust. Don’t be scared. Shout as loud as you can. The more people that hear you, the better.
We hope children abuse never happens, but if someone hurts you, remember these six rules and use them to protect yourself.
