10．People sometimes say，"It's raining cats and dogs!"when there is a heavy rain．Nobody has ever really seen cats and dogs falling from the sky，but there have been many reports of other strange things"raining"down．In 1956，the people of a town in the USA saw a small blackcloud in the sky．It started to rain from the cloud normally，but only in a small area．The cloud then turned white，and fish started to fall to the ground．Most of them were still alive．
      During a storm in July 1901，in Minneapolis，people heard something falling from the sky that did not sound like rain．When they went outside，they found all types of frogs covering four streets．
     There are other reports of strange"rains"failing from the sky including worms，insects and snakes．
      Can these strange"rains"be explained by science？Scientists usually say that a tornado （龍卷風(fēng)） has picked up the animals from a river or ocean，carried them for miles，and then dropped them somewhere else．But this does not completely explain all of them．On May 15，1890，in Italy，there was a rain of blood--birds'blood．Scientists said that flying birds must have been torn（撕碎） to pieces by strong winds．But if so，why did only their blood fall from the sky，and not other parts of their bodies？And anyway，there were no strong winds that day!

3．Trees are greatly useful to man in three very important ways．
The first important way is that they provide man with food，wood and other products．Trees provide not only man with food，but also many animals with food．Without trees many animals could not live on the earth．It's not easy for man to live on the earth，either．
The second important way is that trees give us shade（陰涼處）．On a hot summer day，people are looking forward to having a rest under the shade of a tree after they have walked a long way．You can imagine how important the shade of a tree is to man and to animals．
The third important way is that trees help to prevent drought（旱災(zāi)） and floods（水災(zāi)）．However，in many parts of the world，man has not realized the third important way．They cut trees down in large numbers．There will be fewer trees in the future．
People should protect trees，or they will find that they have lost the best friends they had in the end．
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容填空，每句詞數(shù)不限．

Trees are useful to man in（81）3/threeimportant ways．	Trees provide man with（82）food，wood and other products．
	Trees give man shade on a（83）hotsummer day．
	Trees help to（84）preventdrought and floods．
If people don't protect trees，they will find they have lost（85）the best friends they had．
