A lot of people like reading, why? Words play magic. They can create pictures in our mind; they’re can help us express our feelings that we have been trying to hide, and like a key, words can open up locked hearts and free our souls that have been kept deep inside.
When different people are reading the same passage, for example, about a scene(情景) which shows a palace at midnight, the words they read are the same, yet if they are asked to point out what the scene is like in their mind, each person will have the pictures drawn differently. How they draw their palace according to their nature appears to be view on how they can see things.
Although human minds are different, I do believe that somehow(以某种方法) we have all come across mutual feelings. Stories that touch(触动) us, stressed that terrify us, stories that set us free---- we all have tasted the pain, the fear, the freedom because we all have feelings. I believe all of us have personalities within personalities, and by that I mean people who seem to be strong are not always that strong, they are easily hurt on the inside.
Good writers, who can smartly use the right words in their writings, will easily break through the shell(壳) of one’s personality within. Great writers, who can use only words to move the personality within, will understand one’s weakness. Excellent writers, who can use the perfect words to aim at the personality within, will open up one’s heart---- even rewrite his or her life.
I want to be an excellent writer because when I read, I feel like home. Home is where my books are. When I feel scared, I read, and it becomes my candles. When I feel sad, I read, it becomes my cover. When I feel lonely, I read, and it becomes my company.
Home is where we leave the sadness, fear and stress behind, where we only allow happiness to stay. I want to be a writer who brings such feeling to everyone to bring them home with my words.
Reading is all that I need. Whenever I read, I just feel the magic that words create, leaving everything behind.

Children are natural scientists. They are interested in looking into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there’s no need for a lot of expensive lab tools. You only have to share your children’s curiosity(好奇).
Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-old students to talk about working as a scientist. The children asked me questions about schooling and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another quietly. Finally I said, “Now that we’ve finished, do you have questions of your own about science?”
After a long pause, a boy put up his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚂蚱) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?” This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.
Secondly, give them time to think. Studies have shown that, after asking a question, adults usually wait only one second or less for an answer, do not leave time for children to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children can give more logical(合逻辑的), complete and creative answers.
Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child telling his idea in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right. ” or “Very good. ”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can mean that discussion is over. Instead, you can say “That’s interesting. ” or “I’d never thought of it that way before. ” or come up with more questions or ideas.
Never push a child to “Think”. Children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What’s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target(目标)for your disagreement.
Lastly, show; don’t tell. Real-life feeling of nature is far more exciting than any lesson children learn from a book. Let children look at their fingertips(指尖) through a magnifying lens(放大镜), and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner.
( )53. When children are in a science discussion, adults should ________.
A. speak highly of the children.
B. praise the children immediately
C. end up their discussion with “That’s interesting”
D. leave time for them to come up with better ideas
( )54. What does “this” refer to in the 6th paragraph?
A. Pushing children to think.
B. Finding the answer you want.
C. Talking about science.
D. Telling children to discuss.
( )55. These are the ways for adults to share children’s curiosity EXCEPT ________.
A. telling them encouraging stories instead of boring facts
B. offering them chances to see things by themselves
C. being patient when the children answer questions
D. persuading them to ask the questions of their own

According to the rescue people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the ___42___ of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to ___43___ themselves, they would probably sense a faint(very little) light glimmering (闪烁) not far away.
