If you are, follow the following instructions and do an experiment in your home.NAME: Candle time and room temperatureMATERIALS: 15 medium-size wax candles, air conditioning, a space heater, a nail or a fork, and three thermometersINSTRUCTIONS：1．Come up with your hypothesis(假设)—do you think that candles will burn faster in warm or cold environments?2．Measure your candles. They should all be brand-new, so all of them should have the same length.3．Run the air-conditioner in one room, space heater in another, and leave another room at a mild temperature. Leave a thermometer in each room and wait for the temperature to adjust (one hour or so)．4．Write down the temperature in each room.5．Place 5 candles in each of the rooms and light them. Return every 15 minutes to measure all of the candles. Keep a separate data sheet for each room, and track the time, temperature, and length of all 5 candles in each.6．When all 15 candles have burned out, plot your results on a graph with time on the x-axis (horizontal) and average length in each room on the y-axis. At the end, you should have a graph with three lines on it, all sloping down. Do they slope down at different rates? Are the results the same as your hypothesis?TIP: These science projects for kids can also be done without air conditioning or a heater: simply place one candle in the refrigerator (preferably without anything else in it, since the smoke will make for an unpleasant taste), and one under a 40-watt bulb. Make sure to place thermometers next to the candles.36．In the experiment, what is the use of the thermometers?A．To measure candles.B．To measure temperature.C．To record the results.D．To help fix the wax candles.37．What is the purpose of doing this experiment?A．to find out how to make better use of candlesB．To find out if candles burn faster in warm or cold environments.C．To teach people how to do scientific experiments at home.D．To find out why candles burn differently in different environments.38．The lines on the y-axis are drawn to ________.A．show the temperature in each roomB．track the time that was used to burn the candlesC．show the average length of the candles in detail in each roomD．describe your hypothesis about the time needed to burn the candles39．After reading this passage, we can know all the following EXCEPT ________.A．where thermometers are placed in such an experimentB．why air conditioning is required in such an experimentC．how such an experiment is carried on without a heater in the roomD．a candle burns much faster in a warm environment40．This passage is written to ________.A．give instructions B．encourage peopleC．tell a story D．give an exampleBIt amazed me—every time I saw Joe he was smiling. It didn't matter whether he had to stop at a stop light，or if he was the seventh person in line at the bank，and the teller (出纳员) ended her job just before he got there. Joe always smiled. It made me wonder why he always seemed sohappy.Having observed Joe with other people，I noticed something else too. Joe asked people how they were doing，and really seemed to listen to their answers. He showed pity to someone who was hurting，and had kind words，and offered to help in any way he could.It made me think. What if I tried to smile more？An experiment began when I went to the supermarket. I smiled as I went up and down the supermarket and people I didn't even know smiled back at me. Some even spoke！The little kid in the cart who was giving his mother a hard time saw me smile；he stopped talking and then made a shy attempt at a smile. The man in the cart for the disabled needed help to reach for something，and I got it for him. The smile even transferred (转移) over to him，and he thanked me.As I drove home，I was smiling. Now I know a smile is a small thing，but what if we all tried to smile a few more times each day？I couldn't believe how great I felt. Nothing in my life had changed，but maybe it had. What I had learned was that such a small thing could lift not only my spirits，but also the spirits of those around me. So smile!41．What did the writer wonder?A．Why bad things never happened to Joe.B．What kind of person Joe was.C．Why Joe always seemed so happy.D．How to be as happy as Joe.42．What do we know about Joe from Paragraph 2?A．He has nothing to worry about.B．He lives a very hard life.C．He is kind and ready to help others.D．He often asks others to smile.43．What experiment did the writer do?A．He smiled at others in the supermarket.B．He bought people things in the supermarket.C．He helped anyone who needed help.D．He said kind words to others.44．According to the passage，how was the writer's experiment?A．It was a failure.B．It proved nothing.C．It was unacceptable. D．It was quite satisfying.45．The writer wrote this passage most probably to ________.A．explain why people smileB．tell us something about JoeC．tell us the true meaning of lifeD．suggest people smile more to othersCMy mother loves flowers. As soon as warm weather comes around，you will find her planting，watering and weeding over everything. For many years we lived next door to each other，and she spent as much time in my garden as she did her own. After the flowers became plentiful each summer，she would cut colorful bouquets (花束) to enjoy inside the house—both hers and mine. I would often come home from work and find a beautiful arrangement (布置) of fresh flowers on my coffee table.Shortly before Christmas one year，a local flower shop offered a bouquet—a-month special. It seemed to be a great way to thank her for all of the flowers she had given me through the years.After the holidays，in early January，I drove her to the flower shop to pick up her first month's bouquet. The small fresh colorful bouquet would hardly fill a small vase (花瓶)．I was so embarrassed (尴尬的)．However，after we returned home，she began to arrange the flowers she had received.“Mom，I'm sorry，”I told her.“I can't believe how skimpy that bouquet is.” She looked at me and smiled. “It's okay，”she said.“It allows me to better enjoy the beauty of each one.”Mom's words helped me to realize something bigger and more important—when we have too many good things，we often fail to enjoy the beauty of each one.Thanks，Mom，for helping me understand that less is sometimes more.46．According to Para.1，which of the following is TRUE?A．The author's mother put fresh flowers on the author's coffee table.B．The author used to buy some fresh flowers on her way home.C．The author's mother usually bought flowers for her daughter.D．The author and her mother shared a beautiful garden.47．The author bought her mother flowers to ________.A．celebrate the coming ChristmasB．express thanks for all her mother's doneC．bring more flowers to her mother's gardenD．arrange her mother's new house48．What can we infer from the passage?A．The author couldn't afford a big bouquet.B．The mother was not happy when receiving the bouquet.C．The author would pick up another bouquet the next month.D．The mother would send back the bouquet to the flower shop.49．The underlined word “skimpy” in Para.4 means ________.A．beautiful B．colorfulC．cheap D．small50．What did the author learn from her mother?A．How to grow flowers.B．How to arrange flowers.C．Enjoying life if possible.D．Considering things in other ways.DPeer (同龄人) pressure is all about being forced into a certain way of living, dressing, talking, socializing and even thinking—simply because that is how everyone else you know behaves, dresses, talks, socializes and thinks.Young people can be often insensitive in their dealings with each other. And they are very quick to notice differences of habit, dress and social behavior. As a result, you might have to buy the latest fashions in clothes and other things. Because everyone else does the same, regardless of cost or comfort. You might end up reading what they read, watching the same television programs and movies that others watch and using the same language that they use. Because, otherwise, you feel left out of all the conversation. You might end up staying out late at night or eating out all the time, simply because that is what the others do, regardless of whether you can afford to or not.The best way to deal with peer pressure is to select your friends very carefully. Preferably, your friends should be in a mixed group of people. That keeps everyone rooted and more tolerant of differences.The second is to gather your courage and to tell people to mind their own business, if and when they begin to interfere with your life. Sure, a few people may be offended (冒犯). But they will also learn to be less offensive themselves, in future.And most importantly, you have to remember that you are unique in this world. And your decisions to eat, drink, dress, talk, go out, read or think are your own. If others don't share these interests or habits, too bad. Let your peers and friends catch up with you. If they can't, find new friends.51．If you are forced into a certain way of thinking and acting like everyone you know, you ________.A．are suffering from peer pressureB．are losing yourselfC．are learning from themD．are getting on well with them52．Why might you have to buy the latest fashions in clothes and other things?A．Because you like them.B．Because you want to catch up with others.C．Because they look fashionable.D．Because you can afford them.53．Which is the best way to deal with peer pressure?A．To select your friends carefully.B．To keep away from others.C．To tell others what you like.D．To be more tolerant of differences.54．How many ways to deal with peer pressure are mentioned in the text?A．One. B．Two.C．Three. D．Four.55．The main purpose of this passage is ________.A．to tell young people how to get along with their friendsB．to tell young people how to catch up with fashionC．to tell young people how to live an independent lifeD．to tell young people how to deal with peer pressureⅣ.阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)Have you had a headache during a test? Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can't sleep at night? If so, then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something. This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad, scared, or afraid—all these can give you a stomachache or a headache.However, there are different kinds of stress. Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad. Good stress might happen when you're called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. This kind of stress can help you to get things better done. For example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.On the other hand, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. ________________ if your parents are fighting, if a family member is sick, if you're having problems at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of stress isn't going to help you. And it can actually make you sick.The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you keep yourself in mind: sleep, exercise, leisure(休闲)，and food. If you get enough sleep and eat properly, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you'll probably feel less stressed.56．What's the BEST title of the text?
