     From the world"s heaviest apple, the oldest lady to the world"s smallest dog, these are all part of a group of
the world"s strangest people and things. And they are all in the Guinness Book of Records(《吉尼斯记录》).
     The book is going to celebrate its birthday this August. It began exactly half a century ago. And it"s always
one of the best selling books in the world.
     People now can break over 100 records every week! Why do so many people want to break the records? Do
they want their names in the book or meet more people around the world? "It gives people a chance to show
they"re the best in the world." said one of the record keepers Stewart Newport.
     The book was started by Hugh Beaver from Britain. In 1951, he went shooting birds and talked with his
friends about the fastest bird in Europe. Three years later, they were still talking about it. So Beaver believed that
people must have different ideas. So, he decided to start a book to record the world"d truly greatest people and
things in it!
     The newest book came out last Tuesday. This book has a lot of interesting records. Here are two:
     ☆ A British dog, Whitney, is the world"s smallest dog. It"s only 76mm tall.
     ☆ An American woman Lee Redmond has the longest fingernails (指甲). They grew as long as 600 mm!
She made the record in 1971.

Small children often laugh at the short ones or at someone who isn"t dressed as well as they are. But as they

things. Most important they learn to laugh at themselves.
Suppose (假设) you"re playing a game. You make a mistake and lose. Do you become angry? Or can you
laugh at yourself and hope to do better next time? Suppose you are at a special dinner. You at times spill (溅)
some food. Why keep worrying about how clumsy (笨拙) you looked? Why not laugh it off and enjoy yourself
any way? If you can, it"s a good sign you"ve really grown up.

     Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most
happen in July, August and September.
     How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates into the air.
This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then,
cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly,
making wind. The wind goes in circles, and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the
quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second, a typhoon begins.
     A typhoon has two parts, one is called the "eye". In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part
is the wall of clouds around the eye. This is where the strongest wind and hardest rains are.
     Typhoons are very dangerous. In 2004, Typhoon Yunna killed 164 people in Zhejiang, and 24 people were
missing. In May 2006, Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian, and thousands of houses were damaged.
     What to do when a typhoon hits:
     ● Stay inside, close all the windows and stay away from them.
     ● Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your bikes!
     ● Listen to the radio or TV for important information.
     ● If you"re told to go to a safer place, do so right away.

[ ]

A. in the hot season
