Yellowstone Weather
Yellowstone National Park is at high altitude. Most of the park is above 7500 feet (2275 meters).
Yellowstone’s weather is unpredictable. In summer, it may be warm and sunny with temperatures in the high 70s. At night in any given month, the temperature may drop close to freezing. So it is best to come prepared for cold evenings and mornings, especially if you are camping or hiking. When you leave your campsite, please leave it prepared for possible thundershowers and wind.
A sunny warm day may become fiercely stormy with wind, rain, sleet and sometimes snow. Without enough clothing, an easy day hike or boat trip can turn into a battle for survival.
Seasonal Weather Information
Spring
Cold and snow continue into May, although
temperatures gradually climb. Early in spring, daytime temperatures average in the 40s to 50s; by late May and June, they may reach the 60s and 70s. Nighttime lows fall below freezing. Summer
Daytime temperatures are usually in the 70s, occasionally reaching the 80s in the lower area. Nights are cool, temperatures may drop in the 40s and 30s，sometimes even the 20s. June can be cool and rainy; July and August tend to be somewhat drier, although afternoon thundershowers are common.
Fall
Weather can be pleasant, although temperatures average 10~20 degrees lower than summer readings. Nighttime lows can fall into the teens and even lower. Snowstorms increase in frequency as the weeks go by or towards the end of the fall season. Winter
Temperatures often stay near zero throughout the day, occasionally reaching high in the 20s. Subzero nighttime lows are common. Annual snowfall averages nearly 150 inches in most of the park. At higher places, 200~400 inches of snow have been recorded.

At least eight babies in East China’s Anhui Province have died since last year. they died of serious deficiency disease which happened to them because of fake milk powders.
More than 100 other babies in Fuyang, mostly between three and five months old, are still in poor nutrition after drinking different kinds of cheap milk powders produced in North China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province and Beijing.
The baby victims were born healthy, but they became thinner and thinner, and had large heads for their bodies after fake milk powders were fed to them.
“My girl, the first child of mine, died when she was only four months old after drinking the ‘Haobaobei’milk powder.”said Zhang Linwei, a 32-year-old villager of the Wangzhuang Village in Fuyang.
Zhang found that his daughter got ill after the girl didn’t want to drink the milk powder any more half a month before.
“Before that , I though my daughter’s face was becoming fatter and fatter because she was fed well and grew fast.”the baby’s father said.
The girl died nine days later after she was sent to hospital and all of the family’s savings were spent on her medical treatment.
“It is like a terrible dream. I never thought that my baby would pass away like this .”he said.
Zhang said he tried to telephone and write to the producer of the milk powder by the address on the packing bag but never made it.
“The fake milk powders only have 5-6 per cent protein and the lowest is has only 1 per cent. For babies, drinking such fake milk powder is no different from drinking water,”Zhang Fangjun, said a medical expert with the Fuyang People’s Hospital.

“S.H.E. is going to sing at the CCTV annual Spring Festival Evening Party, is that true? ”cried out Peng Weiye, a Senior 2 girl in Shanghai and die-hard S.H.E. fan.
After checking it on the Internet, Peng quickly phoned friends to spread the news. For fans like her, S.H.E.’s performance is perhaps the only part of the old fashioned evening to excited about.
The Taiwanese band is made up of Selina, Hebe and Ella. Their name comes from the first letter of each of the singer’s English names.

“I love their music, healthy image and everything related to them. Thank God that, although my parents don’t’ understand why I love them so much, they still bought me a ticket for that show,”said Peng about the Shanghai performance.
It is not just no the mainland that the three girl’s have made audience much excited. In the past year the band has passed through Taiwan, Hong Kong and even Singapore and Malaysia.
When the three high school girls entered a singing contest in Taiwan in 2000, none of them ever dreamed of being a superstar. “We had never met before, and we didn’t talk at all at the beginning.”recalled Ella.
When asked about the secret of their success, she said.“Our average looks and not-so-expensive clothes keep us close to our fans. We are happy to be the girls next door, your singing sisters.”
“It’s really a magical journey, from day-dreaming high school girls to singers performing on the same stage as our idols(偶像). Nothing but magical,”she said.

第二节Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule$
From my experience，there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often：ability，money，and time.6.________ Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：
1．Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there’s nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already？7._____
2．Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal，make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread？8._____ It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
3．9._____ This may surprise you，but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try，the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
Hopefully that gives you a good start.40._____ And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!
A．Try new things.
B．Ability is easily improved.
C．Make three or four instead.
D．Understand your food better.
E．Cooking is a burden for many people.
F．Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
G．A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

七选五解析：
[文章大意] 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在忙碌的生活中怎样享受烹调的乐趣的几条具体建议，如提前做好规划、一次多做点以及尝试一些新鲜的做法等。
6．B。空格前面提到了三个原因：ability，money，time。空格后面提到了money是作者改天再讨论的话题，紧接着后面提到了怎样充分利用时间，所以这里应该与第一项ability有关，因此选择B项(Ability is easily improved.)，这样就能做到前后呼应。
7．G。本段的主题句(Think ahead.)就是提前规划，并且段落中出现的信息think ahead of the coming week和后面问的问题都是强调提前进行规划有助于省去将来的大量劳动，与G项的信息一致。
8．C。结合本段的主题句(Make your time worth it.)可知，要充分利用你的时间，再根据空格前面的one可知，既然做一个也是做，为什么不多做点儿，以备将来之用呢？因此与C项的信息一致。
9. A。此空需要填一个主题句，它需要概括全段的内容。结合空格后面的信息词surprise，experimentation，new ideas等可知与A项“尝试新东西”信息一致。
0.F。结合空格前面的a good start和后面的don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes可知，此处与F项的信息，即“让做饭和简单生活成为一种享受，而不是一种负担”一致。
