In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries of nature. Some ancient people believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons of the gods. In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs . The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷针). This device protects buildings from being damaged by lightning. Modern science has discovered that one stroke of lightning has a voltage (电压) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second. Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average of one person every day. The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress. Also on,e should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.

Rome had the Forum. London has Speaker"s Corner. Now always–on–the-go. New Yorkers have Liz and Bill. Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street corners. Just talk. Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, "Talk to Me." they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits. They don"t collect money. They don"t push religion. So what"s the point? "To see what happens, said Liz. " We simply enjoy life with open communication." Shortly after the September 11,2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return. "It started as a crazy idea, "Liz said." We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything: their jobs, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything." Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went. Marcia had lost her husband to a serious disease. "That was very heavy on my mind," Marcia said. "To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good," she explained. To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few hundred people showed up, as well as some television cameramen and reporters. They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something they say they"ll consider. 小题1:What did Liz and Bill start doing after September 2001?A.Chatting with people. | B.Setting up street signs | C.Telling stories to strangers | D.Organizing a speaker"s corner | 小题2:What they have been doing can be described as_________. .A.pointless | B.normal | C.crazy | D.successful | 小题3:Why are Denise and Marcia mentioned in the text?A.They knew Liz and Bill very well. | B.They happened to meet the writer of the text. | C.They organized the get-together in the city park. | D.They are examples of those who talked to Liz and Bill. | 小题4:What will Liz and Bill do in the future?A.Go in for publishing. | B.Do more television programs. | C.Continue what they are doing. | D.Spend more time reading books. | 小题5:How do they like the idea of writing a book?A.They have decided to wait a year or two | B.They will think about it carefully | C.They agreed immediately | D.They find it hard to do that |
