stay in the military of return to civilian life.
For some, having to readjust to civilian life is one of the mist challenging assignments our returning soldiers
and marines will ever to undertake. While people may think readjusting should be simple, they must take into
consideration of all physical and mental stress our servicemen went through.
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder,or PTSD, is a mental disorder that can occur following the experience or
witnessing of life-threatening events such as military battles.
Most survivors of trauma return to normal given a little time. In the military, the marines are given a
two-week course on how to return to civilian life.
Unfortunately, some will have stress reactions that do not go away on their own, or may even get worse
over time. These individual may develop PTSD.
People who suffer from PTSD have difficulty sleeping because they are often reliving the experience
through nightmares and flashbacks, and feel deserted or often stand off, and these symptoms can be severe
enough an last long enough to significantly damage the person"s daily life.
Fullerton College, like most colleges, has its own Veteran"s (老兵) Office. Ray Bustos has been running the
office for 3 years. Bustos acts as a contact for the school and the veteran students. He makes sure the veterans

Rico. The small island of Puerto Rico is in the West Indies, off the coast of Florida. This is where all the
hurricanes begin that strike the east coast of the United States. Often they pass near Puerto Rico or cross
it on their way north. The people of Puerto Rico expect some of these unwelcome visitors every year. Each
one is named after the Saint"s Day on which it arrives. Two of the most destructive storms were the Santo
Ana in 1840 and the San Ciriaco in 1899.
Giving girls" names to hurricanes is a fairly new idea. It all began with a story called"Storm", written by
George Stewart in 1941. In it a weatherman amused himself by naming storms after girls he knew. He
named one Maria. The story describes how Maria grew and developed, and how she changed the lives of
people when she struck the United States.
Weathermen of the U.S. Army and Navy used the same system during World WarⅡ. They were studying
weather conditions over the Pacific Ocean. One of their duties was to warn American ships and planes when
a storm was coming. Whenever they spotted one, they gave it a girl"s name. The first one of the year was
given a name beginning with [A]. The second one got a name beginning with [B]. They used all the letters
from A to W, and still the storms kept coming. They had to use three lists from A to W to have enough names
to go around. This was the first list of hurricane names that followed the alphabet. It served as a model for
the system the Weather Bureau (局) introduced in 1942.
Before 1950 the Weather Bureau had no special system for naming hurricanes. When a hurricane was born
down in the West Indies, the Weather Bureau simply collected information about it. It reported how fast the
storm was moving and where it would go next. Weather reports warned people in the path of the hurricane, so
that they could do whatever was necessary to protect themselves.
This system worked out fine as long as weather reports talked about only one hurricane at a time. But one
week in September 1950 there were three hurricanes at the same time. The things began to get confused.
Some people got the hurricanes mixed up and didn"t know which was which. This convinced the Weather
Bureau that it needed a code for naming the storms in order to avoid confusion in the future.
B. an author
C. a sailor
D. local people
hurricanes was ______.
B. to remember a certain girl
C. to keep information from the enemy
D. to follow the standard method of the United States
B. remember them
C. collect information more rapidly
D. warn people more efficiently
than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.
Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping (录像) the families while they ate ordinary
meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their
children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents" efforts to control the
loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. "In general the more question-asking
the parents do, the higher the children"s IQ scores," Lewis says. "And the more children there are, the less
question-asking there is." The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a
harder time in life than their siblings (兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. "Middle children are invisible," says Lewis. "When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it"s the middle child." There is, however, one thing that stops all
conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: "When the TV is on," Lewis says,"dinner is a
non-event."
B. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table
C. report on the findings of a study
D. give information about family problems
B. they are busy keeping order at the dinner table
C. they have to pay more attention to younger children
D. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family
B. get the least attention from the family
C. are often kept away from the dinner table
D. find it hard to keep up with other children
B. why parents should keep good order
C. why children in small families seem to be quieter
D. why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life
B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.
C. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.
D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner
to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.
One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed,
covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.
Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren"t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn"t be worth the
work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. bushes must be pruned (剪枝)
in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space
available(可用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.
Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering
coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed
around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.
Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold; First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves,
which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the
tomatoes and withdraw(缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown
white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow
for lack of light.
Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that
offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and
treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I"ll think about that tomorrow.
B. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.
C. Tomato plants grown alongside.
D. Cages placed around the roots.
B. the soil was just right for it
C. there was room for it in the garden
D. the roses" branches needed to be covered
B. picked along with the tomatoes
C. mostly damaged by too much sunlight
D. largely hidden under the tomato plant
B. show the hardship of growing the roses
C. express her liking for the roses
D. express her care for the tomatoes
B. the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoes
C. someone will help the writer make the decision
D. the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoes
materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive,
people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways
they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.
Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share
their houses with their livestock (家畜). During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals
and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the
cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the
second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a
source of heat.
People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that
heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the
first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun"s rays during cold weather, these rocks
take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses.
So these houses are energy-saving.
House-building becomes a great challenge (挑战) to building designers and energy engineers. They try to
meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.
B. The energy for their houses.
C. The fashions for their houses.
D. The building materials for their houses.
B. protecting their livestock from the cold
C. sharing their houses only with their cows
D. living on the second floor with their livestock
B. heat goes in the upward direction
C. heat goes up if temperature is raised
D. heat increases the temperature of rocks
B. energy-saving buildings will become more popular in the future
C. almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocks
D. energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology
