The Scots （苏格兰人）loved their county very much. They fought hard against their enemies （敌人），but there were too many of the Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night, the leader of Scots took his soldiers to the top of a hill. "We will rest here tonight, my men," he said. 4"Tomorrow we will fight against the Romans again. We must win, or we will die." They were all very tired, so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were only four guards （卫兵）on duty, but they too, were very tired, and one by one, also fell asleep. The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they arrived at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes later, the war would be over. Suddenly one of them put his foot on a thistle （蓟: ——种叶子带刺的野生植物）.He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a minute, the Scots were all ready to fight. They fought very bravely and won in the end.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles （针）all over it. Few people like it.

Why do we do that? We do that for friction. Friction happens when two things that aren't very smooth rub together to make heat energy. The faster you rub two things together, the more friction （and heat） you can make. Let's discover friction!WHAT YOUTL NEED: Soap Water Your handsWHAT TO DO:Make sure your hands are dry.Rub your hands together until you feel the heat of your hands.Now, use soap and water to get your hands very slippery （滑的）.Try to make friction happen while your hands are slippery.Please write down what has happened.LET'S TALK!Friction is an energy that happens when two things rub together.

Friction happened though they didn't know it._____ ?Friction is everywhere. Have you ever noticed situations where friction is happening? If not, ask your parents to take you out in a car.

WORK WITH PARENTS!C.Two old men lived in a room on the third floor of an old people's home. Both men were very old and badly ill, and they spent 24 hours a day in bed in the room.Luckily, one of the old men had his bed by the window, and every day he spent hours telling his friend far from the window what he could see through the window. He told him about the traffic going by, the children playing in the park opposite, and the birds flying in trees. The old man far from the window got a lot of pleasure from hearing about the world outside, but after a time he began to get rather unhappy. How nice it would be, he thought, if he had the bed by the window and could see everything for him, instead of just hearing about it.One night, the man by the window called to his friend, "Quick! Pull the alarm by your bed, I don't think I can get through the night!" But his friends, expecting an empty bed by the window, did nothing---he just closed his eyes and went back to sleep.The next morning, the nurse found the man dead in his bed by the window.The old man was very excited as they moved him into the empty bed by the window. He sat up in bed, pulled back the curtain, looked out --- and saw only a wall.46.Who do you think was kind in the story?A. The old man by the window.B. The old man far from the window.C.

Few teenagers are able to give a positive answer to this question. The first thing that worries Xiao Hua is where to find food. The 14-year-old student says that she knows little about cooking."The only thing I can make to fill my stomach is tomato and egg soup, and I think many of my classmates are the same, " she said.Although she believes that basic（基石出）living skills such as cooking and washing clothes are a must in creating a self-made person, the girl doesn't think teenagers are given enough opportunities to practice. "I would like to learn in summer holidays before I enter high school. But when we are in junior middle school, parents do almost everything for us." She said.For most teenagers like Xiao Hua, it's only when they have to leave home do they decide to learn some living skills. They are too busy with their heavy schoolwork to think about such stuff.However, Xiao Ming, a 15-year-old boy, doesn't think so. "We should develop these skills day by day, just in case of unexpected situation,he said.A few days ago, his mother broke her leg and Xiao Ming started to cook for the family. Luckily, he had learned to cook a few dishes from his mom before the accident.Xiao Ming's school is going to start an elective course（选彳彦课）in cooking, in which lots of special cooking skills will be taught. It has interested many students and Xiao Ming wishes he had time to take it. 'Tm afraid it's too much for most of the students because as far as I know, few have simple kitchen knowledge,he said.In his opinion, many teenagers depend too much on their parents, and there is much more to learn than cooking, like '"cleaning up your room or even dressing yourself in a right way."51.In Xiao Hua's opinion, many of her classmates know .A. much about cookingB. a little about cookingC. little about cookingD. more about cooking52.Xiao Hua thinks that teenagers to practice some basic living skills.A. should have enough opportunitiesB. shouldn't have enough opportunitiesC. have enough opportunitiesD. have had enough opportunities53.According to the writer, most teenagers spend too much time in .A. playingB. workingC. cookingD. studying54.Xiao Ming had known something about cooking but he hoped thatA. he began to learn moreB. he was learning moreC. he could learn moreD. he must learn more55.What's the best title for the passage?A.

Of course not!You look that proud father in the eye and say, "Yes, she is! She is really a beauty. (83) She is one in a million. She's as beautiful as a picture!

When people don't want to meet someone, or eat something new that they really don't like at their friend's house. They tell a white lie. They are trying to be kind. They don't want to hurt someone.
