A

Last year I was put into a lower-level math class at school. The reason I was in

this class had nothing to do with my intellect or math skills. I am blind.

The only problem with being in this class was that I was surrounded by “at-risk” students. These were kids who did not do well in school and they were constantly in trouble with the school and the law.

One Tuesday morning，I went to a Christian Student Union meeting before school. There was a guest speaker there that day talking to us about praying for our enemies. I began to think about this. As I considered the idea，I prayed and asked God how I could pray for the kids in my class. I had forgotten that they weren’t bad kids；they were just lost.

At first，the prayers were mechanical. When I would hear their voices in class，I would pray，“Dear God，please bless so-and-so...” But as I continued，I began to think of the kids more often，and in my quiet time at home I would ask God to bless the rest of my classmates.

As time went on，my classmates became more than just annoying kids to me. There was something growing inside my heart for them，something that wasn’t there before. They began to feel like family，and I was learning to love them in a way I never thought possible.

I now see that praying is such a powerful act. Prayer is the most powerful tool a Christian has. When I pray for those around me，it also blesses my life，and it changes my opinion of others. I realized I needed God’s blessings to see the world through loving eyes. The prayers I said for others turned out to help me the most.

Nature’s anger made life miserable from one end of the United States to the other this week，with people forced out of their homes by wildfires near both coasts and the Canadian border and by major flooding in the Midwest.

And although the calendar still said spring，the first named storm of the year was whipping up surf on the beaches of the Southeast. Overall，it wasn’t quite a week for the record books.

“It’s a major flood，” National Weather Service meteorologist (气象学家) Suzanne Fortin said of the flood in Missouri.“It won’t be a record breaker，but it will be in the top three.”

However，a three-week-old fire in southern Georgia had become that state’s biggest in five decades after burning 269 square km of forest and wet land.

Smoke-filled air created a burning smell and a dusting of ashes that coated cars

and buildings through much of Florida and southeastern Georgia. The fog over most of Florida even closed several highways and sent people with breathing problems indoors.

The flooding was produced by the wet weekend thunderstorms across the Plains states that also destroyed Greensburg，Kansas. In addition to 11 tornadoes deaths，two drowning deaths were blamed on the storms，one each in Oklahoma and Kansas.

High water had poured over the tops of at least 20 levees (大堤) along the Missouri River and other streams in the state，authorities said on Wednesday.

Missouri National Guard troops were helping. And Highway Patrol (巡逻) troopers were working 24-hour shifts near Big Lake，a village town of about 150 in

the state’s northwest corner，which was flooded by five levee breaks along the Missouri River and four smaller ones on other streams，said patrol Lieutenant John Hotz.

No injuries were reported but the Missouri Water Patrol rescued about 20 people from their flooded homes，including Glenn Burger，who had the patrol return him to his home to rescue his two pet cockatiels (澳洲鹦鹉)．

5．What is uncommon about the weather this year?

A．The storm happened in spring. B．The storm lasted a long time. C．The wind brought about flood. D．The tornado struck a large area.

6．What can we say about the natural disaster which happened this year?

A．This year the biggest flood happened in history. B．The damage caused by disasters is the greatest.

C．This year saw the biggest fire in the US in recent years. D．Most lives were lost in American history this year.

7．It can be inferred from the passage that________.

A．some highway accidents were caused in the fire B．13 deaths altogether were caused in Greensburg C．flood broke most of the river banks of Missouri D．the big fire was caused by the strong storm

8．Two pet cockatiels are talked about in the last paragraph in order to________.

A．show Americans were fond of their pet B．show no injuries were caused in the flood C．tell us humans could get over the flood D．tell us pets were friends of our humans

Hundreds of Chinese orphaned (使成孤儿) by the 1976 Tangshan earthquake have offered to take care of victims of the big earthquake in Sichuan，state media said on Thursday.

And more than 300 children orphaned in the Lijiang earthquake of 1996 have donated a year’s pocket money.

Zhang Youlu was nine when his parents died in the quake in Tangshan，about 180km east of Beijing，which flattened the city and killed as many as 300,000 people. “My heart ached when I saw those children who lost both parents in the quake—babies who survived under the protection of dead parents and older children who find it hard to believe that their parents are dead，” Zhang told Xinhua news agency.

Nine days after the 8.0-magnitude earthquake hit Sichuan Province，the number

of dead and missing has risen to more than 74,000，with a further 247,000 injured. Two days after the May 12,2008 quake，Zhang put a posting on the Internet，calling on all Tangshan orphans to step up to help.

Hundreds of people have since answered his call with cash donations and offers of foster (领养) care.

Liu Yuanping，a government employee in Tangshan，said he wanted to pass on a message to all quake orphans in Sichuan.“Be strong and be brave. You’ll all grow up like everyone else.”

In Lijiang in Yunnan Province，south of Sichuan，orphans donated a total of 15,174 yuan ($2,200)．“We hope the orphaned children in the earthquake can have a warm Children’s Day on June 1，” 16-year-old schoolgirl Xiao Yun，who together with her schoolmates was orphaned by the 7.0-magnitude strength quake that destroyed

Lijiang in 1996，said.
