Mother Nature Shows Her Strength
Tornadoes（龙卷风）and heavy thunderstorms moved across the Great Lakes and into Trumbull County on Saturday evening.The storms were dramatic and dangerous.
George Snyder was driving the fire truck down Route 88 when he first noticed that a funnel（漏斗状的）cloud was behind him."I stopped the truck and watched the funnel cloud.It was about 100 feet off the ground and I saw it go up and down for a while.It was moving toward Bradley Road and then suddenly it disappeared."Snyder said.
Snyder only saw one of the funnel clouds that passed through northeastern Ohio on Saturday.In Trumbull County,a tornado turned trees onto their sides.Some trees fell onto houses and cars.Other trees fell into telephone and electrical wires as they went down.
Amanda Symcheck was having a party when the storm began."I knew something was wrong," he said."I saw the sky go green and pink（粉红色）.Then it sounded like a train rushing toward the house.I started crying and told everyone to go to the basement for protection."
The tornado caused a lot of damage to cars and houses in the area.It will take a long time and much money to repair everything.There was also serious water damage from the thunderstorms.The heavy rains and high wind caused the power to go out in many homes.
The storms caused serious flooding in areas near the river.More than four inches of rain fell in parts of Trumbull County.The river was so high that the water ran into streets and houses.Many streets had to be closed to cars and trucks because of the high water.This made it difficult for fire trucks,police cars,and other rescue vehicles to help people who were in trouble.Many people who live near the river had to leave their homes for their own safety.Some people reported five feet of water in their homes.Local and state officials opened emergency shelters for the people who were evacuated（撤走）.The Red Cross served meals to them.
"This was a really intense storm,"said Snyder."People were afraid.Mother Nature can be fierce.We were lucky this time.No one was killed".

On Sleep
Baekeland and Hartmann report that the"short sleepers"had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens.But at about age 15 or so,the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school,work,and other activities.These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.
In general,these"short sleeps"appeared ambitious,active,energetic,cheerful,conformist（不动摇）in their opinions,and very sure about their career choices.They often held several jobs at once,or worked full-or part-time while going to school.And many of them had a strong urge to appear"normal"or" acceptable"to their friends and associates.
When asked to recall their dreams,the "short sleepers" did poorly.More than this,they seemed to prefer not remembering.In similar fashion,their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed,and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.
The sleep patterns of the"short sleepers"were similar to,but less extreme than,sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic（疯人）.
The"long sleepers"were quite different indeed.Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood.They seemed to enjoy their sleep,protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest.They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the"short sleepers."
Many of the "long sleepers" were shy, anxious , introverted（内向）,inhibited（压抑）,passive, mildly depressed,and unsure of themselves(particularly in social situations).Several openly states that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.

第一篇
Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced still swim as well as ever since.A man when he gets back who has not hada chance to go swimming for years can in the water.He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away.He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son.A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins"Twinkle,twinkle,little star",remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of over learning,which can be stated as follows:Once we have learned something,additional learning trials（尝试）increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming,bicycle riding,and playing baseball long after we have learned them.We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as"Twinkle,twinkle,little star"and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldi-- locks.We not only learn but over learn.
The multiplication tables（乘法口诀表）are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school,because they are another of the things we over learn in childhood.
The law of over learning explains why cramming（突击学习）for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade,is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course.By cramming,a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination,but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned.A little over learning,on the other hand,is really necessary for one's future development.

Few Facts about Lies
What exactly is a lie?Is it anything we say which we know is untrue?Or is it something more than that?For example,suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you.You say"I wish I could help you but I'm short of money myself."In fact,you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don't want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this.Is this really a lie?
Professor Jereald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of lying.According to him,women are better liars than men,particularly when telling a"white lie," such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks awful.However,this is only one side of the story.Other researchers say that men are more likely tell more serious lies,such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling.This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at:the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.
Research has also been done into the way people's behavior changes in a number of small,apparently unimportant ways when they lie.It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual.To the trained observer they are saying"I wish I were somewhere else now."They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often,in particular the nose.One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure.The tip of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressure makes it itch （痒）.
Another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer Demond Morris in his book Manwatching calls"the mouth cover".He says there are several typical forms of this,such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers,touching the upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side of the mouth.Such a gesture can be interpreted as an unconscious attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself or herself from lying.
Of course,such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth,or moving about in a chair cannot be taken as proof that the speaker is lying.They simply tend to occur more frequently in this situation.It is not one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of things,and,in particularly,the context in which the lie is told.

Garlic
From early times man has used garlic（大蒜）.The Bible speaks of it.The Israelites（古以色列人）were once far from home.They cried out to Moses , their leader , for the foods they loved : leeks （韭菜）,onions,and garlic.The Romans,like the Israelites,loved to eat garlic.And they hung bags of garlic around their necks.________(46)They also thought it would keep them from getting sick.
A similar idea is still held.Many people take garlic thinking it will prevent or cure disease.Most doctors say it does no such thing.________(47)Its smell may force people to stay far apart.At least then they can't pass germs on to each other.________(48)What if you're in a play,for instance?Actors have been known to forget their lines because they couldn't stand the garlic smell on a fellow actor's breath.Some have even made up new lines and actions that kept them far away from the one who had eaten garlic.
Through the years man has tried to cope with the smell of garlic.________(49)We now know why.It's been found that the oils of the garlic do not stick to the teeth,tongue,or gums（齿跟）.They go into the lungs instead.From there they are breathed out.They pass out through the skin too.
Strange as it seems,food may have a great deal of garlic in it without smelling or tasting strong.It all depends on how it is cooked.French cooks make a good soup with whole cloves（瓣）of garlic.They use more than thirty cloves in one bowl of soup.But they take care not to crush them.And they cook them whole.________(50)And as the cloves cook they change in some strange way.The soup turns out to be delicious.It's not strong at all.
