I’m so thankful we’re all okay. I never imagined I’d have to go through something as terrible as what happened yesterday. At first I thought we were about to have just a usual rainstorm. The sky got dark and the wind picked up. Dad came in early from the fields on his truck. Then my sister Julia said, “Look at the sky. Doesn't it look wired?”

We went to the window and saw big black clouds. I felt afraid as the strong wind blew up. Mom told us to run to the storm cellar, but I wanted to go to my room to get some of my things first. Mom caught me and made me stay with everyone else. As we ran toward the storm cellar, I saw a long, thin cloud drop down from the sky and touch the ground. The noise grew louder, like a train rushing straight at us. My little brother Mark started to cry. I picked him up and carried him down the steps into the cellar.

Above us, we heard terrible sounds that seemed to go on forever. All I could think about was losing my computer and MP3 player. I knew Julia was worried about the clothes she had just bought, and Mark was thinking about his favorite toys.

When it finally grew quiet again, we came upstairs. The whole house was gone. We all had the exact same feeling. Instead of crying about what we had lost, we hugged each other and cried because everyone was safe. We still had what mattered most—our family.

4. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “weird” in Paragraph 1? A. Colorful.

B. Strange.

C. Bright.

D. Peaceful.

5. What is the storm cellar according to the passage? A. A tool to show how terrible the storm is. C. A place to keep you safe from the storm. 6. Why did the family cry after the storm? A. Because they were thankful to be safe. C. Because they were still feeling afraid.

B. Because they had to rebuild their house. D. Because they lost many valuable belongings. B. A museum to introduce what the storm is. D. A machine to predict when a storm comes.

7. Which is the right order of the following events according to the passage? a. The whole house was blown away by the heavy storm. b. A long, thin cloud dropped down and touched the ground. c. Dad drove his truck back home from the fields early. d. Mom stopped the writer from getting things in her room. A. c-b-d-a

I used to shower with soap every day，but my skinalways felt dry and itchy. Then two months （皮肤）（发痒的）ago, I heard of the no-soap movement. Since then, I’ve given up using soap in the shower. I still shower every day. I just don't use soap because it's filled with chemicals.

So, what's so bad about using soap? Well, the chemicals in soaps can be harmful to our health. So, if we use soap, our skin will take in the chemicals, which will then end up in our bodies. According to the scientists, some of the chemicals used in a soap are quite dangerous. During my research, I also learnt that soap removes moisture（水分）from the body. This is actually why my skin was so dry and itchy.

Getting used to washing my body without soap was a huge change. For the first week, I felt a bit dirty and I didn't smell great, either. However, during the second week, my skin felt clean without strange smell. Best of all, my skin problems disappeared, and now I have softer and healthier skin.

On the whole, going soap-free has not only saved me time and money, but has also improved my skin. What's more, this experience has made me take a look at some of the other products I use in the shower, such as shampoo. More about that in my next blog!

8. What do people do when they join the no-soap movement? A. Have a shower only a week. C. Throw away all the soap they have.

B. Never use soap when having a shower. D. Make soap on their own instead of buying it.

9. Why does Selina’s skin always feel dry and itchy according to the reading? A. Because she takes showers too often. C. Because the soap she uses smells terrible

10. What happened to Selina during the second week? A. She smelt bad but felt clean. C. She smelt normal and felt clean.

11. What might Selina write in her next blog? A. When and how the shampoo was invented. C. How she enjoys the shower with shampoo.

B. Where and when her shampoo was brought. D. What she thinks of shampoo in the shower. B. She felt dirty but smelt great. D. She felt dry and smelt strange.

B. Because she often showers at a high heat. D. Because soap takes away her moisture.

In Hong Kong, most schools are very strict about what students wear to school. For example, they do not allow students to wear any kind of accessories, such as necklaces or earrings. Some people argue that small items, like simple earrings, should be acceptable. However, I feel that students should not be allowed to wear any kind of accessories to school.

Firstly, if students are allowed to wear accessories to school, they will be less focused on their studies. Instead of discussing schoolwork, they will spend time talking about accessories. For example, things like the latest trends or where to find them. Besides, if students are allowed to wear accessories to school, they will probably spend a lot of time reading fashion magazines and shopping. As result, they will spend far less time on homework and revision.

Another reason why I think accessories should not be allowed in school is that they can be very costly. Even if students choose not to buy designer accessories, they may still spend a lot of their pocket money on them. This is because there are many types of accessories available and they would probably want several items of each.

All in all, if students are allowed to wear accessories to school, it will distract(分散) them from their studies. In addition, it will cost them a lot of money. Therefore, I believe that students should not be allowed to wear accessories
