In the 1700s, a scientist
was someone who thought about the way things work
and tried to find out
ways to make
things work better. Today. that definition
(
定义
) is still true. Every
time Ben Franklin saw a
question and
tried to answer it. he was a scientist. Ben is
most famous for his questions about electricity,
hut he also experimented with many
other ideas in nature.
In 1743. Ben
observed that northeast storms begin in the
southwest. He thought it was strange that
storms travel in an opposite direction
to their winds. He predicted that a storm's course
could be charted
(
绘
制
). Ben rode a
horse through a storm and chased a whirlwind
three-quarters of a mile in order to learn
more about storms. So, in a way, Ben
was a weatherman too!
Since Ben spent
so much time sailing go Europe across the Atlantic
Ocean, he became very interested
in
both ocean currents and shipbuilding .Ben was
actually one of the first people to chart the Gulf
Stream.
In November of 1783. Ben
happened to be in Paris, France, working on a
peace tre
条约
) to end
the American war against England. From
his hotel window. he was able to watch the world's
first known
hot-air balloon flight. The
balloon lifted the Montgolfier brothers off the
ground as the first human beings
ever
known to fly. Ben ,vas very interested in the idea
of flight, predicting that one day balloons would
be
used
for
milita0
(
军事的
)
spy
flights
and
dropping
bombs
during
battle.
Soon.
balloons
were
actually
being used for entertainment. military,
and scientific purposes. Even though they could
not yet be steered,
many people
volunteered to take a ride just for fun! Sadly,
Ben Franklin died three years before the first
American hot-air balloon voyage. In
1793, Jean-Pierre Blanchard lifted off from the
Walnut Street Prison
Yard in
Philadelphia, beginning the hot-air balloon craze
in America.
25. What can we learn from
the first paragraph?
A.
Ben Franklin was a true scientist.
B. Ben Franklin could hardly be called
a scientist.
C. Ben Franklin
was most interested in electricity.
D. Ben Franklin was only interested in
things in nature.
26. Ben Franklin went
to Paris in November of 1783
to
——．
A. sign a treaty
B. have a talk with Britain
C. seek support from France
D. experiment with hot-air balloons
27. When Ben Franklin saw the first
known hot-air balloon flight, he predicted hot-air
Balloons______
．
A. would be a risky sport
B. could be used in wars'
C. couldn't be widely used
in the future
D. could be
mostly used for entertainment
28. We
can infer from the last paragraph that Ben
Franklin ______
A.
introduced hot-air balloons to America
B. saw the hot-air balloon flight by
accident
C. was not
interested in hot-air balloons at first
D. made a wrong prediction
about hot-air balloons
c
.
The bell rings and in a few
moments. the most disordered part of the day
begins-lunch. Food begins to
be dished
out. and some students are eager to see their
friends. while others cannot bear the thought of
what
is about to happen.
Anxie0,(
焦虑
) builds for many
as they think today will be just like any other
day. Press
repeat and this happens
every day.
But Bridport
Elementary in Bridport introduced a system to
solve this classic scene of loneliness and
meet
new
friendships.
There's
hardly
room
for
the
question,
you
save
me
a
seat?
at
Britiport
Elementary where students are guided to
assigned(
指定的
) tables and
given the. opportunity to open their
hearts
and
minds
to
a
new
friend.
The
school's
president
Kilbourne
had
observed
too
many
days
in
which the
same kids were left alone, while the others were
always accompanied by friends. Something had
to change.
The school
gives a new system- in which students line up to
pick a numbered stick before getting their
food. Each stick has a number that's
linked with a table, showing where they will eat
lunch for the day.
This system was used five months ago.
Today, if you walked into the cafeteria. you
wouldn't find any
numbers
or
any
sticks.
Kilbourne
made
a
promise
to
the
students
that
the
system
would
eventually
disappear if she
saw that students learned to value inclusivity
（包容
)
and friendship.
People really saw a change. A girl was
walking around by herself with her lunch in her
hand. and four
tables asked her to join
them. At another table. a kindergartener was
sitting alone for just a few moments
before two sixth graders came over to
sit with him. and actively included him in
conversation.
Now we are left
wondering how can lessons learned from the
cafeteria be used elsewhere? Students
and adults all over the country could
benefit from an approach in which every person is
always welcome at
the table in any
situation.
29. What inspjred the
president of Bridport Elementary to introduce the
system?
A. Students
didn't speak to friends at a table.
B. Students didn't manage to get a seat
in the cafeteria.
C.
Students had no one to communicate with in a
crowd.
D. Students had
little interest in lunch due to the pressure of
study.
30. Why couldn't w e find any
numbers or any sticks in the cafeteria?
A. Because students were
tired of them.
B.
Because they didn't work out as expected.
C. Because they were
replaced by something else.
D. Because there was no need for them
any more.
31. How is the fifth
paragraph mainly developed?
A. By making comparisons.
B. By giving examples.
C. By giving instructions.
D. By showing research findings.
32. What is most likely to be talked
about in the paragraph following the text?
A. The benefits
of the system.
B. The
disadvantages of the system.
C. The wider use of the system.
D. The lessons learned from
the system.
D

Kids' health Four steps for fighting
stress
Everybody gets stressed
from time to time._36 Some ways of dealing with
stress - like screaming or
hitting
someone - don't
solve
（解决）
much. But other
ways, like talking to someone you trust. can lead
you
to solving your problem or at least
feeling better .Try taking these four steps the
next time you are stressed
(1) Get
support. When you need help, reach out to the
people who care about you. Talk to
a trusted adult,
such as a parent or other relatives.
37
They might have
had similar problems. such as dealing
with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.
(2) Don't take it out on yourself.
Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they
take it
out
on
themselves.
Oh.
dear,
that's
not
a
good
idea.
Remember
that
there
are
always
people
to
help
you.
Don't take it out on
yourself. 38
(3) Try to
solve the problem. After you're calm and you have
support from adults and
friends. it's
time to get
down to business. 39
Even if you can't solve it all, you can
solve a piece
of it.
(4)
Be
positive.
Most
stress
is
temporary
(
暂时的
). Remember
stress
does
go
Away
,especially
when
you
figure
out
the
problem
and
start .working
on
solving
It .These
steps
aren't
magic,
but
they do work. And if you can stay
positive as you
make your way through a tough time,
you'll help
yourself feel better even
faster. 40
