The largest tropical rainforest is the Amazon (亚马逊)Rainforest in South America, which covers 1. 2 billion acres, or almost five
14、 million square kilometres. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa. Rainforests provide us with many things.

16、 and cure cancer. There are four different levels of trees in a rainforest. The forest floor is the lowest layer full of animal life and receives the least amount of light.

As they drove up the street, there started to be a rumbling （隆隆的） sound heard across the ground. Jasons fat
20、her immediately realized that a tornado （龙卷风） was coming. He stopped the car and told Jason to get out immediately. Jason and his father got out of the car and made their way to the closest building. By this time the wind was blowing harder, and it was hard to see or hear. Debris was falling all ove
21、r the place. Jason couldnt see his dad anymore. He also realized that he wasnt getting to the building fast enough. He was afraid he would be picked up by the wind and thrown into the air. As he made his way towards the building, he noticed a field to his right. He could see an irrigation ditch（灌溉渠）
22、. In a panic, he scrambled （爬） to the ditch and lay flat on the ground. More debris and objects flew overhead. His heart was beating hard, and he was nervous. He had never been in a tornado before. After a while, the winds died down and the loud roaring sound was gone. Jason slowly lifted his head a
23、nd nervously looked around. What he saw was a great mess. Jason could hardly recognize the buildings in front of him because of all the damage. He stood up and with shaky legs walked to the building. Once there, he pushed the door open and went inside. It was a public building owned by the city. It
24、was empty, but Jason could hear noises further inside. He walked into the large room and saw his dad. He ran across the room and gave him a big hug. “Jason! How are you?

For Alison Jenson, 15, this used to happen several times a week. Alison was a shopaholic. S
28、he just couldnt stop shopping and she loved special offers. Alisons bedroom is full of stuff. “Ive been to every shop in Birmingham, I think,” says Alison. She picks up some earrings. The labels are still on them. “These were half price,” she says. “Ive never won them.” Alisons problem wasnt just je
29、wellery. She also bought a lot of clothes, though not many shoes, because they were usually too expensive. She has also bought lots of other small thingslike 20 new covers for her phone. She hasnt used any of them. According to experts, we all feel excited after we buy something new. For shopaholics
30、, its a little different. Soon after they buy something, they think theyve made a mistake and start to feel unhappy. So they buy themselves something else to feel happier. Psychologists （心理学家）first described the problems of shopaholics in 1915. However, there was very little research on the subject
31、until recently. Now, doctors think thousands of people suffer from the problem, and the situation is getting worse. There are also more teenage shopaholics now, although most young people dont have enough money to go shopping very regularly. Alison knew she had a problem. “I often bought something e
32、very day. Usually it was something small, but I just needed to buy it,” she says. “I spent money that I got for my birthday, and when I was short of cash, I borrowed money from friends or my parents. When I couldnt go shopping, I felt anxious. Then one day, my parents just looked at all the stuff in
33、 my room and said, This is crazy!I knew they were right. I needed some big changes in my life.” Alison now gets help with her problem and feels she has changed. She no longer thinks shes a shopaholic. “When I want to buy something in a shop, I ask myself two questions,” she says. “Do I need it? Can
34、I afford it? The answer to both questions is usually no, so I walk away. Its great!”27What do experts say about shopaholics?AShopaholics feel sad when they are shopping.BShopaholics soon feel unhappy after they have bought something.CShopaholics feel more excited than other people when they shop.DSh
