WHAT
IS THUNDER?
Thunder sounds like an
explosion. Lightning causes thunder. The sound comes from air that suddenly
gets very hot.
A bolt of lightning can
make the air around it as hot as 18,000° Fahrenheit (10,000° Celsius). That’s
hotter than the surface of the Sun! The hot air rushes away from the lightning
bolt. The air rushing away makes the loud sound of thunder.
You often hear the thunder
after you see a bolt of lightning. This is because sound travels slower than
light. The farther away the lightning is, the longer it takes for you to hear
the thunder. You can tell how far away the lightning is. You can count the
seconds between the lightning and the sound of the thunder it makes. Sound
travels about 1 mile (about 1.6 kilometers) every 5 seconds. If you count
slowly to 5 and hear thunder, the lightning bolt was about 1 mile away. If you
count to 15 before you hear thunder, the lightning bolt was 3 miles away.

the text we can conclude that … .
A. thunder
causes lightning.
B. lightning causes
thunder
C. thunder
comes after lightning

and lightning happens in the same time

Gregory
is my beautiful grey Persian cat. He walks with pride and grace, performing a
dance of disdain as he slowly lifts and lowers each paw with the delicacy of a
ballet dancer. His pride, however. Does not extend to his appearance, for he
spends most of his time indoors watching television and growing fat. He enjoys
TV commercials especially those for Meow Mixs and 9 Lives. His familarity with
cat food commercials have led him to reject generic brands of cat food in favor
of only the most expensive brands.
Gregory
is finicky about visitors as he is about what he eats, befriending some and
repelling others. He may struggle up against your ankle, begging to be petted,
or he may imitate a skunk and strain your favorite trousers. Gregory does not
do this to establish his territorry, as many cats experts think, but humiliate
me because he is jealous of my friends.
