same time, the rest of the students at the High School Attached to Yunnan Normal University in Kunming are
also having classes a little bit different from the usual ones. Some students dance, others create robots, and
still others review films. These are just a few of the other 27 elective (选修的) courses besides Liu"s sewing
class that the school began to offer last month.
"The fashion design class has become the bright point of my week. I learn how to choose colors and
fabrics (织物) as well as sewing and sketching (素描) skills. It"s all helping me to realize the dream of
becoming a fashion designer I"ve had since I was a little girl," Liu said.
Design is Liu"s favorite, but for other students the electives are interesting lessons which relieve (舒缓)
the pressures of schoolwork. Some students, for example, are learning how to play bridge. Chen Xi, 15, is
one of them. She said, "Many people think that playing a card game like this in class is a waste of time. But
in fact, bridge is a very challenging game that helps develop memory and math skills." | | 1. How often do the students have elective classes? | | [ ] | A. Once a week

there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people
are willing to risk (冒…危险) being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of
watching the storm close up.
"Storm chasing (追逐)" is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the
United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by
checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the
storm will be and waits for it to develop.
Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is very dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow
into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by
driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations
during the storm season. Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. "Storm chasing is 95%
driving," says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing."Sometimes you can sit around
for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers."
However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. "When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting
sight you will ever see in your life," says Jasper Morley. "Every storm is an example of the power of nature.
It is the greatest show on Earth". | | 1. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to _____. | | [ ] | A. head straight for the center of the storm
B. get into the car for safety
C. wait patiently for the storm to develop
D. collect information about a coming storm | | 2. Beginners of storm chasing are advised _____. | | [ ] | A. not to drive in a heavy rain
B. to do it in an organized way
C. not to get too close to a storm
D. to spend more time on it in summer | | 3. By saying "it is all worth it" in the last paragraph, the author means that _____. | | [ ] | A. storm chasing costs a lot of money
B. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
C. efforts in storm chasing are well paid
D. a storm present is the greatest show on Earth | | 4. What can we learn from the text? | | [ ] | A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment.
