But later the win

23、d picked up earth, and it looked like a huge black cloud. By the time it got to an area called No Mans Land, the cloud was thousands of feet high.Close by in Liberal, Kansas, 11-year-old Lila Lee and a friend sought refuge (藏身處) from the angry mountain of dust in a house. “I was sure I was going to

24、die,” she told historian Paul Bonnifield.That day was known as Black Sunday. Robert Geiger, a reporter, knew how the areas farmers had already suffered from the long drought (旱災(zāi)). In his article, Geiger made up a phrase that gave a name to the area: the Dust Bowl. The disaster had a number of causes

25、. But most experts say it was the actions of humans that made it so bad. Early in the 20th century, a lot of people began to settle there, encouraged by the building of new railroads. The worst thing that settlers did was to plow up (鏟掉) the areas grass to plant wheat. The grass, which had been ther

26、e for centuries, was the material that kept the soil together. Without it, trouble was certain to come. At first, things went the settlers way. During World War, there was good rain and wheat prices were high. But after the war, prices dropped. Some people gave up their land and the rains stopped. B

27、ut because so many people had plowed up so much grass, the results were disastrous. The crisis (危機) didnt pass until the end of the 1930s. The government developed methods to fight dust storms. Finally, in 1939, the rains returned. 51. Which of the following describes the situation of Black Sunday?A

28、. There were no clouds in the sky. B. The rain was extremely heavy.C. It was hotter than ever before. D. The earth was on the move.52.

30、e, but people who care can.” Thats the motto (座右銘) of 12-year-old Anna Koppelman. Last year, Anna visited a homeless shelter (收容所) in New York City with her school. Afterward, she talked with her parents about how she might help the children who lived there. “Somehow we started talking about birthda

31、y parties, and I said, Oh! Thats something they really should have,” Anna says.Anna shared her idea with a teacher at school. With the teachers help, Anna and some classmates planned a racecar-themed (以賽車為主題的) birthday party for children at the homeless shelter. Anna made a cake with a racetrack on

32、it. Other kids brought plates, toy cars, face paint, a game, and presents. On the day of the party, Anna says, “I was a little nervous about how it was going to go. But once I got there and saw the kids faces light up, all the fears went away.” Since that first party, Anna has thrown dozens of theme

33、d parties at shelters and after-school programs. She says she has been amazed at the amount of time, energy, and resources people have been willing to donate to her cause (事業(yè)). Now, Annas charity Birthday Fairies throws parties at five locations in New York City. They return to each location every m

34、onth for a year so that all the kids get to be a guest of honor during their birthday month. As often as possible, the parties are themed. Anna also started a website, where she shares party-planning tips and encourages others to form Birthday Fairies clubs at their schools. Someday, Anna says shed

35、like to see Birthday Fairies clubs in schools across the United States and in other parts of the world. “There are so many kids who never get to celebrate their birthday,” Anna says. “I want to change that.” 55.

38、 for Super Mario. According to a recent study, 15 percent of libraries in the U.S. now lend video games as well as books and movies. Many even have Xboxes, PlayStations, and Wiis right in the library. Adding video games has helped some libraries attract more visitors. For example, in Texas, the Hous

39、ton Public Library began offering video games in 2008. It has since seen the number of books checked out increase by about 20 percent.Not everyone gives a high score to the idea of video games in the library, however. Many people say libraries should be about reading. They argue that most video game

40、s arent educational and that playing games in the library could disturb kids who are trying to read or study.Heres what two of our readers think.Offering video games in libraries would help libraries become more modern and make them a more popular place to hang out. Also, some people do not have the

41、 money to buy their own video games, so they would be able to play them at the library. Kids could do their homework at the library and then spend their extra time playing video games until their parents pick them up.Nicolas Viamin, CaliforniaLibraries are supposed to be for studying and learning. P

42、arents often have to tell their kids to get off the computer and read, so theres a good chance kids will pick video games over books at the library. Also, video games can be distracting. If you are at the library trying to study and people are playing video games, it could hurt your grades.Emma Vale
