21、   Do you know what makes lightning(闪电)? Why does lightning strike(击打)?

Lightning strikes happen when ice and water in clouds rub(摩擦)  together, and cause atmospheric(大气层的) changes. When this happens, it creates a static charge(静电). Lightning can strike inside the cloud, between two clouds or between a cloud and Earth. It's  the last kind of strike that is the most dangerous for humans.

Lightning can be very dangerous. Every year, lightning kills people because it can start big fires or because it reaches a temperature of 28，000℃. About 1，000 people are hit by lightning every year in the United States, and about 100 of them die as a result.

Lightning makes people shocked, and it happens all over the world! Scientists think that there are more than three million lightning strikes every day in the world—that's thirty strikes every second. An American man, Roy Sullivan, who worked in a park, survived from the most lightning strikes. Between 1942 and 1983, he was hit seven times!  And he keeps the highest world record.

Lightning is sure not something to play with. When lightning strikes, it's best to stay inside a large building. To stay safe, do not stand under trees, on hills or near water. Also, do not lie down on the ground, or the electricity may go through you and cause a heart problem.

【1】Lightning strikes ________．

A.happen thirty times each day

B.happen when there are big fires

C.can reach a very high temperature

D.can kill all those who work in a park

【2】What does the underlined word “survived” mean in Chinese?

A.幸存 B.选择 C.遇难 D.失忆

【3】How many people hit by lightning die every year in America?

A.About 1, 000 people.

B.About 28, 000 people.

C.About one tenth of people.

D.About one fourth of people.

【4】Where's the safest place to stay when lightning strikes?

A.Under a tree. B.Near a river. C.On the top of a hill. D.Inside a building.

22、   If you watch the sky for about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some “moving stars”. But they are not really stars. They are man­made satellites. And the biggest of all is the International Space Station(ISS). From May to July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth. And people can see it with their eyes during the time. The scientists want to live on the ISS. They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there.

When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there with many of the things they have at home. Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built. The ISS is the most expensive program. Billions of dollars are spent on it every year.

Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping stone for future space exploration. “The ISS will be more useful some day. The ISS will help us understand the human body better, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on the earth better,” said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist.

Sixteen countries are part of the space program: the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil, and 11 European countries. China isn't an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. In 2003, China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it.
