27、d just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument.British sailors coined the phrase in the late 1600s; they noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become static and the winds would drop.But why is it often so calm before a storm?Science has given us the answer. According
28、to US infotainment (资讯娱乐) website HowStuffWorks, a calm period occurs because many storms, tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and humid air from the surrounding area. As this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “fuel for the storm, like petrol in a car”.Once the storm ha
29、s taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. As the air descends (下降), it becomes warm and dry. Warm and dry air is stable, so once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm.This same process also
30、 causes the “eye of the storm” in hurricanes and tornadoes. In these conditions, the calm occurs in the center of the storm because of the strong rotating (旋转的) winds.The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is. First count how many seconds there are between a flash of ligh
31、tning and a clap of thunder, roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. So, for example, if you count nine seconds, the storm is about three kilometers away. A good gauge(评估) is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.However, due to the complexity of storm syst
32、em, not all storms are preceded(发生在之前) by calm.Given the right conditions, some storms announce themselves with heavy rain and chilling(寒冷的) winds.So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. Thats the most reliable and
33、 sensible(合理的) way to predict the next display of natures temper (脾气).28. The underlined word “static” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .A. violent B. quiet C. fast-changing D. warm 29. What is the main idea of Paragraphs 4 and 5? A. To explain how a storm comes into being. B. To support prev
34、ious research on storm clouds.C. To explain why a peaceful period occurs before a storm. D. To show how dangerous a storm can be in certain situations. 30. If there are fifteen seconds between a flash of lightning and a thunder clap, how far away is the storm?A. Three kilometers B. Four kilometers.
35、C. Five kilometers D. Six kilometers31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. It is not always quiet before a storm. B. Storms have a big influence on life.C. Heavy storms dont usually last for a longtime. D. Weather reports may fail to predict a storm.DMy 11-year-old daughter has been awarde
36、d an academic scholarship(奖学金) to a private school. Its only a small discount, but the scholarship means shell skip the waiting listprovided my husband and I can cover $20,000 a year。Should we pay the private school fees or choose free education instead?I always assumed(假定) my children would go to a
37、 private school, like I did.

Yet here we are. M
38、y eldest is now in her last year of primary school, and my husband and I will struggle to afford private school.If were to send our girl to private school, I could increase my work hours.

More than my fancy private school education, its my family that shaped me. With high school now 25 years in the past, I can
