7 . Over the past two years, Liu Yijing, a storm chaser from Nanchang, has traveled nearly 27,000 kilometers to record storms in 11 provinces. When he was a kid, Liu liked to read popular science picture books and watch the weather forecast, becoming excited whenever he saw storms and other weather. In 2018, when playing with an old camera at home, Liu accidentally took dozens of pictures of lightning. He posted them online and received many likes, arousing his great interest in shooting storms.

But it’s never easy to shoot amazing pictures about ever-changing storms. Every time, Liu needs to find an area where storms could appear and then mark the best shooting positions, which often cover dozens of kilometers. Then, he’ll find a reliable driver and carry his photographic equipment and food to wait for the storm. For shooting high-quality storms, he always sticks with it to the end and often lands himself in danger of being attacked by hails (冰雹) and pouring rains.

However, one thing changed his mind. One day in August 2020, Liu was shooting a pink-purple thunderstorm when a farmer came over and cried, “You, as a photographer, should care about our crops, not the damaging storms.” The farmer’s words hit him as hard as any thunderstorm. “I just wanted to shoot the storm, but I never thought that what I like is a disaster for others,” Liu said. “I felt guilty and decided to do something to help more people learn about meteorology (气象学).”

Now Liu makes and posts short videos with explanations about the phenomena and the possible dangers of storms. For example, to warn people of the danger of possible hails, he marked hail cores, which often show noticeable blue colors due to large amounts of thick raindrops in the cloud, because water molecules absorb red light and scatter (散射) blue light. “Putting knowledge into shocking and lively pictures and videos is a better way to pass the knowledge to more people,” said Liu. “That’s the significance and value of what I’m doing now.”

1. What caused Liu to shoot storms?

A．Popular science picture books.	B．His interest in taking photos.
C．His love for weather report.	D．The popularity of his pictures.

2. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A．Possible dangers of shooting storms.

B．Liu’s efforts in shooting high-quality storms.

C．Requirements for being a storm chaser.

D．Liu’s special skills for shooting amazing pictures.

3. How did the farmer’s words change Liu?

A．He chose to spread knowledge.	B．He started to care about crops.
C．He changed his way of shooting.	D．He shoots storms with guilty.

4. Why does the author mention hail cores in the last paragraph?

A．To explain how dangerous hails are.

B．To give an example of a sign of a hailstorm.

C．To illustrate how Liu helps people understand storms.

D．To prove Liu has a profound knowledge of meteorology.

My Best Examination

One day, while at work in a coal-mine in Malden, I happened to overhear two miners talking about a great school for poor people in Virginia. It was Hampton Institute. The school was established to provide opportunities for poor but worthy students who could work out all or a part of the cost of board, and at the same time be taught some trade or industry.

I was on fire constantly with one ambition, and that was to go to school. I decided at once to go to that school. Finally the great day came and I started for Hampton. I had only a small, cheap bag that contained what few articles of clothing I could get. The distance from Malden to Hampton is about five hundred miles. I had not been away from home many hours before it began to grow painfully evident that I did not have enough money to pay my fare (路费) to Hampton.

By walking and begging rides in some way, I finally reached the grounds of the Hampton Institute after a number of days, tired and dirty. As soon as possible after reaching, I presented myself before the head teacher for assignment to a class. Having been so long without proper food, a bath, and change of clothing, I was like a worthless loafer (游荡者).

I did not, of course, make a very favourable impression upon her, and I could see at once that there were doubts in her mind about the wisdom of admitting me as a student. I tried to impress her in all the ways I could with my worthiness. How I wished that I could get a chance to show what was in me.

After some time, the head teacher said to me, “The adjoining (隔壁的) classroom needs sweeping. Take the broom and sweep it.”
