The Cold Places
The Arctic is a polar region. It surrounds the North Pole.
Like Antarctica, the Arctic is a land of ice and snow. Antarctica holds the record for a low temperature reading ----- 125 Fahrenheit below zero. Readings of 85 degrees below zero are common in both the Arctic and Antarctica. Winter temperatures average 30 degrees below zero in the Arctic. At the South Pole the winter is about 73 degrees below zero.
One thing alone makes it almost impossible for men to live in Antarctica and in parts of the Arctic. This one thing is the low temperature --- the killing chill of the far North and the polar South.
To survive, men must wear the warmest possible clothing. They must build windproof shelters. They must keep heaters going at all times. Not even for moment can they be unprotected against the below-zero temperature.
Men have a way of providing for themselves. Polar explorers wrap themselves in warm coats and furs. The cold makes life difficult. But the explorers can stay alive.
What about animals? Can they survive? Do we find plants? Do we find life in the Arctic and the Antarctica? Yes, we do. There is life in the oceans. There is life on land.
Antarctica, as we have seen, is a cold place indeed. But this has not always been the case. Expedition scientists have discovered that Antarctica may have been much like our own.
Explores have discovered coal in Antarctica. This leads them to believe that Antarctica at one time was a land of swamps and forests. Heat and moisture must have kept the trees in the forests alive.
1. The lowest temperature that man has ever known was recorded in Antarctica.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
2. Winter temperatures average 85 degrees below zero in Antarctica.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
3. The Arctic and Antarctica are no man's lands because of their notorious coldness.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
4. Polar explorers can stay alive without heaters and windproof shelters.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
5. Despite the hostile environment, both animals and plants can be found in the oceans and on land in polar areas.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
6. As discovered by expedition scientists, Antarctica has not always been so cold as it is today, so has the Arctic.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
7. At one time, the weather in Antarctica was so warm and damp that trees grew there.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

Earthquake
1 Every year earthquakes are responsible for a large number of deaths and a vast amount of destruction in various parts of the world. most of these damaging earthquakes occur either in a narrow belt which surrounds the Pacific Ocean or in a line which extends from Burma to the Alps in Europe. Some of the destruction is directly caused by the quake itself. An example of this is the collapse of buildings as a result of the quake itself. Other damage results from landslides or major fires which are initiated by the quake.
2 These are about a million quakes a year. Fortunately, however, not all of them are destructive. The intensity of an earthquake is measured on the Richter Scale, which goes from 0 upward. The highest scale recorded to date is 8.9. major damage generally occurs from quakes ranging upward from 6.0.
3 The actual cause of the quake itself is the breaking of rocks at or below the earth's surface. This is produced by pressure which scientists believe may be due to a number of reasons, two of which are the expansion and contraction of the earth's crust and continental drift.
4 In order to limit the damage and to prevent some of the suffering resulting from earthquakes, scientists are working on ways to enable accurate prediction. Special instruments are used to help people record, for example, shaking of the earth. Scientists are trying to find methods that will enable them to indicate the exact time, location and size of an earthquake.
5 Certain phenomena have been observed which are believed to be the signs of imminent earthquakes. These include strange behaviors of some animals, the changes in the content of mineral water, etc. The magnetic properties of rocks may also display special pattern before earthquakes happen.
1. paragraph 2__________ A. Earthquakes forecast
2. paragraph 3__________ B. Historical records of earthquakes
3. paragraph 4__________ C. Intensities of earthquakes
4. paragraph 5__________ D. Cause of earthquakes
E. Indications of earthquakes
F. Damaging earthquakes
5. Not all damage during an earthquake is caused ____________.
6. Not all earthquakes are strong enough ___________.
7. Scientists have been working hard to warn people ____________.
8. Earthquakes can be predicted by observing ______________.
A. by the quake itself
B. not be prevented
C. to cause damage of property and loss of lives
D. of a possible earthquake
E. the unusual behaviors of some animals
F. the strong behaviors of human beings
