We have been walking in the mountains for almost one week. Each night we sleep in a small cloth shelter called a tent.The air this morning is fresh and clear. It smells like green trees and wild flowers. When welook across to other mountains it is easy to see why they were named the Blue Ridge Mountains. The early morning air in the distance looks like thick smoke. It makes the color of the mountains a deep ocean blue. This color is caused by the water in the air. It is almost like fog.

Trevithick planned his steam engine to take 10 tons of iron 15 kilometers along a railroad. But in fact his engine carried not only the iron, but 70 workers, too. Twenty-eight years later, another engineer, George Stephenson, built a new locomotive. This was the beginning of the passenger train.Japan built the world's first high speed train - the bullet train - in 1964. When it started, the train could run at speeds of about 200 kilometers per hour. Nowadays high speed trains reach speeds of more than 300 kilometers.The new Maglevs can now go faster than bullet trains. People call them Maglevs because they run above special tracks held up by magnetic force(磁力). Germany made the first Maglev in 1969. Three years later, Japan had its own Maglev lines. The Maglev can run as fast as 480 kilometers per hour. It is clean and saves energy.Many trains just carry goods, but let's find out where the real excitement lies:Some trains have become famous for their speed, others for their luxury(豪华). The Orient Express (东方快车) is one example. It started in 1883, travelling from Paris in France to Turkey. It still travels over part of this line today.Passengers can enjoy a first-class service on the train. For example, the cups and spoons are made of silver. To take a trip on the Orient Express, passengers pay six times the normal ticket price.(279词)46. The first steam locomotive was built in .A. AmericaB. EnglandC. FranceD. Japan47.

What is the meaning of the underlined word “first-class”?A. 第一课B. 一等、头等C. 一班D. 一年级DFloods, storms and other natural events kill thousands of people every year. So does extreme heat. Experts say heat may be nature's deadliest killer. Hot weather can cause serious medical problems -- even death.The most common health problem linked to hot weather is heat stress. The causes of heat stress include wearing heavy clothing, physical work or exercise, hot weather or high humidity. Humidity is the amount of water in the air.Experts say it is important to know the danger signs of the medical disorders linked to hot weather. Most people suffer only muscle pain as a result of heat stress. The pain is a warning that the body is becoming too hot. Doctors say those suffering muscle pain should stop all activity and rest in a cool place. They should also drink cool liquids. Do not return to physical activity for a few hours because more serious conditions could develop.Doctors say some people face an increased danger from heat stress. Such persons have a weak heart, high blood pressure, or other problems of the blood system. It is also dangerous for people who weigh too much and have too much body fat, and for people who drink alcohol(含酒精的).Experts say It is also important to know what to do if the signs appear -- in yourself or in someone else.Drink more water. Water is important for many health reasons. Water is also needed for cooling the body on hot days, and when we are working or exercising.In hot weather, drinking cool liquids is best. Cool drinks do more than just replace lost body water. They also help cool us faster than warm liquids do. This is because they take up more heat inside the body and carry it away faster.Yet experts advise against drinking sweet liquids in hot weather. The sugar they contain slows the liquid from getting into the blood system. Tea and coffee also are not effective. Doctors also warn against alcoholic drinks.Doctors say actions other than drinking water can protect against the dangers of heat. Stay out of the sun, if possible. Wear loose, light-weight and light colored clothes. Wear a hat or other head covering when in the sun. Eat fewer hot and heavy foods. Also, rest more often. Physical activity produces body heat.Experts say these simple steps can prevent the dangerous health problems linked to heat. They will prevent sickness, help you feel better and may one day even save your life.(/voa/voaspe4451.html)51. According to the writer, what can’t cause heat stress?A. Wearing thick clothing.B.
