He began his art life in pingshu in 1954and finally said goodbye to the stage(舞台) in 2007. Before the Internetcame to our life, radio was always important for Chinese people to learnabout the world and enjoy life. Shan Tianfang was sure to be the super starin China’s entertainment industry(娱乐业).Many Chinese would turn on their radios or focus on their TV sets waiting for their favorite deep and special voice of Shan when his everyday Pingshu storytelling show went on air.

Ximalaya FM is an online radio full of only Shan’s storiesBThere are many kinds of wind in the natural world, such as the strong wind and the gentle(柔和的) wind. Different windy weather makes us enjoy a different life. You can feel the wind because the air is moving. The faster the air moves, the stronger the wind becomes. When the wind is very strong, it causes a typhoon.In China, the name typhoon has the same pronunciation (发音) as taifeng in Putonghua, while in the coast of Northern Pacific Ocean, people call it hurricane (飓风). Usually people decide the name of a typhoon by its landing(登陆) place.Last month, the 22nd typhoon in 2018 called Mangkhut first came to Philippine and attacked southern China. Very heavy rain came through Guangdong Province, and trees and even buildings fell down in the strong wind. People could hardly go outside, and of course schools were closed for safety reasons. So what can we do if a typhoon comes?First, we must know the latest information about a typhoon. Then, we must close the doors and windows closely and remember not to go outside or too far from home. Third, when staying outdoors, always stay far away from the trees. While staying indoors, stick fastening tapes (贴加固胶带) to the windows so that the strong wind will not break the houses. Finally, call 110 for help when you are in danger. In fact people are friendly to nature. For example, they grow trees everywhere and make the land green and so on. So, if we learn more about different disaster(灾难) and remember the skills of keeping ourselves safe, we can live happily with the nature!( )51. The first paragraph tells us that a typhoon ________..A. moves the air fastB. is a kind of gentle windC. is much stronger than the wind we feel every day( )52.
