25、damage when they happen unexpectedly. Heavy rain can cause floods. If a lot of rain falls quickly, the earth is unable to soak it up, and the water builds up on the ground. When it runs off into the rivers, the rivers overflow their banks. The worst floods happen on land that is flat and low-lying.

32、e from _.A. a health magazineB. a newspaper reportC. a novelD. a text bookB When I first heard that the best-selling novel by Christopher Paolini was being made into a movie, I was less than excited. As a reader of fantasy novels, I had read Eragon and became interested in the mystical land of Alaga
33、esia. Why, then, did the thought of the movie Eragon displease me? The answer was quite simple: there is too much story to cover. It is nearly impossible to cram (塞入) all the information from the book into a two-hour film; the book itself is over 500 pages. Even though my expectations were low. I st
34、ill hurried to see one of my favorite books transformed into a movie. While watching it, a very unexpected thought came to me: Its not that bad.

35、，however. There are a few things here and there that I would change. The pace seems a bit fast, but other than that and a few plot changes, the film is quite good.

36、 they happen on the screen, lets just say you wont be reading much.

41、should have flying scenes and beautiful landscapeC There is an English saying: “laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to investigate laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really

Experts say an average school can better meet the needs for cultivating a top student. In my opinion, H
78、oi-lams greatest achievement is to challenge the belief that talent cannot be trained in ordinary environments.

Looking around, I find parents of my friends try all means to send their children to private or key schools. It is therefore refreshing to see Hoi-lam still sets herself apart f

Though there is nothing out of the ordinary about her education, she has attended the school without hesitation.Hoi-lam has shown people what can be achieved with the right attitude. So it is suggested that gifted students would do well if the school could provide them with opportunities to express, cultivate their abilities, and offer a more focused learning environment.本资料由七彩教育网 提供！14 / 14
