occur most often in inland areas, such as the central United States. A tornado forms when a layer
of warm, dry air is on top of a layer of cooler, moist air. This combination of dry, warm air
above wet, cool air creates a condition that causes the lower layer of air to lift up. As the lower
air rises, both layers of air begin to rotate, to turn around and around. The air begins to rotate
faster and faster because of centrifugal(离心的) force. The tornado has a center called an “eye”
and the air rotates quickly around this eye.

answers that follow the paragraph.

The chief reasons people wear masks are these: to have fun, to protect themselves, to disguise

masks for fun; they may, of course, also think they are disguising themselves, but chiefly their
motive is to experience the joy of saying “boo” to someone. Soldiers wore masks for protection,
in ancient times against swords and battle-axes, in more recent times against poison gas. Bank
robbers wear masks to disguise themselves, and though of course this disguise is a sort of
protection, a robber’s reason for wearing a mask is fairly distinct from a soldier’s. All of these
reasons so far are easily understood, but we may have more trouble grasping the reason that
primitive people use masks in religious rituals. Some ritual masks seem merely to be attempts to
frighten away evil spirits, and some seem merely to be disguises so that the evil spirits will not
know who the wearer is. The masks are usually made of paper. But most religious masks are worn
with the idea that the wearer acquires, through a union with supernatural powers, a new identity,
and thus in effect becomes—really becomes, not merely pretends to be—a new person.
VI.写信(40 points)
Write a letter to your friend according to the following situation: You(Weiping) haven’t
heard from your friend(Zhijie) since the SARS outbreak. You tell him or her about yourself
and the general situation in Beijing during that period. Since Beijing was taken off the list of
SARS-infected areas, things have gradually come back to normal. You would encourage him
or her to come for a visit in autumn, as it is the best season of the year.(150-200 words)
