17、terested in science from an early age. Most young children ask a lot of questions and you should give careful scientific answers. Dont only give facts, but try to give explanations as well. 2 Science is not just knowledge; it is a way of thinking, a method of finding out about the world. We see some
18、thing. We try to explain it, and we test our idea by setting up an experiment. One day you come home and find the plant on the table has fallen over. You think it might be the wind from the open window or the cat, so you close the window, but leave the cat in and see what happens (you can also try l
19、eaving the window open and shutting the cat out). Of course, you remember there may be a third explanation. 3 Ask your child to get a piece of string, some salt, a glass of water and an ice cube (冰块 ). Tell her to put the ice in the water, and then put one end of the string on the ice, leaving the o
20、ther end over the side of the glass. Put a little salt on the ice. Wait a minute, and then pull the string; it should be attached to the ice. Ask the child: “what has happened?“ 4 Probably she wont know. Ask her whether fresh water or salt water freezes into ice first. If you live near the sea and h
21、ave a cold winter, she should know fresh water freezes first as she will have seen that happen. Show her how to test the idea by half-filling two paper cups with water, adding salt to one. Then put them in the icebox and check every three minutes. Write the results in a table. The conclusion will be
22、 that salt changes the behaviour of water. Thinking about the string, we see the salt turned some of the ice into water. Then the salt went away into the water and the ice froze again leaving the string attached. 5 Then you can ask, “Will water with salt boil at the same temperature as water without
23、 salt?“ She can think, tell you her idea and (taking care because of the heat) you can test it in the kitchen. 23 A. What exactly is science? B. How do you find an explanation? C. What topics do you need? D. How do you answer your childs questions? E. Where does your child study science? F. How do y

Do
26、 you wake up every day feeling tired, angry and upset, and all too ready to flit the snooze (瞌睡 ) button? If so, then a new alarm clock could be just for you. The clock, called SleepSmart, measures your sleep cycle, and waits for you to be in your lightest phase of sleep before waking you up, Its ma
27、kers say that should ensure you wake up feeling refreshed (恢复精力 ) every morning. As you sleep you pass through a sequence of sleep states - light sleep, deep sleep and REM sleep (快速眼动睡眼 ) - that repeats approximately every 90 minutes. The points in that cycle at which you wake can affect how you fee
28、l later, and may even have a greater impact than how long or little you have slept. Being wakened during a light phase means you are more likely to wake up cheerful and full of life and interest. SleepSmart records the distinct pattern of brain waves produced during each phase of sleep, via a headba
29、nd equipped with electrodes (电极 ) and a microprocessor. This measures electric activity of the wearers brain, and communicates wirelessly with a clock unit near the bed. You program the clock with the latest time at which you want to be wakened, and it then at the proper time wakes you during the la
30、st light sleep phase before that. The concept was invented by a group of students at Brown University in Rhode Island after a friend complained of waking up tired and performing poorly on a test. “As sleep-deprived (剥夺 ) people ourselves, we started thinking of what to do about it,“ says Eric Shasho
31、ua, a recent college graduate and now chief executive officer of Axon Sleep Research Laboratories, a company created by the students to develop their idea. They have almost finished a prototype and plan to market the product by next year. 31 SleepSmart is a clock that （ A） enables you to go to sleep

34、The idea of making such a clock was developed by a group of （ A） students at Brown University. （ B） teachers at Brown University. （ C） sleep-deprived scientists. （ D） former engineers at Axon Sleep Research Laboratories. 35 The word “prototype“ (paragraph 5) means （ A） form. （ B） model. （ C） brand.
35、（ D） cycle. 36 Too Late to Regret It When I was a junior, I met a second-year student in my department. He wasnt tall or good-looking, but he was very nice, attractive and athletic. He had something that I admired very much. He was natural, warm, and sincere. I disregarded (不顾 ) my parents disapprov
36、al. We were very happy together. He picked me up from my dorm every morning, and after class we would sit alongside the stream that ran through campus, or sunbathe (晒太阳 ) on the lawn. At night he would walk me back to my dorm. He came from a poor family, but in order to make me happy, he borrowed mo
37、ney from his friend to buy presents and meals for me. Our fellow students looked up to him as a role model, and the girls envied (妒忌 ) me. He wasnt a local, but wanted to stay here after graduation. I thought we had a future together. However, when I got a part-time job during the summer vacation, p
38、eople began giving me a lot of pressure, saying that a pretty, intelligent girl like me should find a better guy to spend time with. This was also what my family thought. He spent the summer in his hometown, so I was all by myself. When he got back, I began finding fault with him. But his big heart
39、and warmth soon drove all unpleasant thoughts away. However, I had no idea how badly I had hurt him and that things would get worse. I had a good part-time job off campus that paid pretty well. With my good performance at school, I also got admission to graduate school at one of Chinas best universi
40、ties. He, on the other hand, did not do so well at school or at work. I had to worry about his living expenses, job and scores. Almost all my colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him. Then we had a quarrel last June. He was in great pain, and my cold words and bad moods started turning
41、 him away. Graduation time was drawing near, and he said he wanted to go back to his hometown. He said that he couldnt put up with me anymore. I was shocked and looked at him in despair.

But we could do more
45、. People must not see recycling as fashionable, but essential. The Japanese are very good at recycling because they live in a crowded country. They do not have much space. They do not want to share their limited space with rubbish But even so, Tokyo area alone is estimated to have three million tons
46、 of leftover rubbish at present. In 1996, the United States recycled and composted (制成肥料 ) 57 million tons of waste (27% of the nations solid waste). This is 57 million tons of waste which did not go into landfills and incinerators (焚化炉 ). In doing this, 7,000 rubbish collection programmes and recyc
47、ling centres helped the authorities. In Rockford, a city in Illinois, US, its officials choose one house each week and check its garbage (废物 ). If the garbage does not contain an newspapers or aluminium (铝 ) cans, then the resident of the house gets a prize of at least $1,000. In Japan, certain citi
48、es give children weekly supplies of tissue paper and toilet paper in exchange for a weekly collection of newspapers. In one year Britain recycles: - 1 out of every 3 newspapers. - 1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars (罐子 ). - 1 out of every 4 items of clothing. - 1 out of every 3 aluminium drink
49、cans. In 1999, Hong Kong transported 1.3 million tons of waste to mainland China for recycling. Around 535,000 tons of waste were recycled in Hong Kong itself. Over half the things we throw away could be recycled. That means we could recycle 10 times as much as we do now. However, recycling needs a lot of organization and special equipment. Also, there is not much use for some recycled material. 41 Which of the following is NOT true of the Japanese? （ A） They h
