    You know that balloons must be kept away from sharp objects. They also needed to be kept away from flames. A fire can weaken the rubber and cause it to break. However, in this experiment you will find out how you can hold a balloon directly in a flame without breaking the balloon.

    Materials needed:

    ● two round balloons not inflated(充气的)

    ● several matches

    ● water

    Inflate one of the balloons and tie it. Place 1/4 cup of water in the other balloon, and then inflate it

    and tie it. Light a match and hold it under the first balloon. Allow the flame to touch the balloon. What happens? The balloon breaks, perhaps even before the flame touches it. Light another match. Hold it directly under the water in the second balloon. Allow the flame to touch the balloon. What happens to this balloon? It doesn’t break.

    Why does the balloon with no water break in the flame? The flame heats the rubber of both balloons. The rubber of the balloon without water becomes so hot that it becomes too weak to resist the pressure of the air inside the balloon. However, when the balloon with water in it is placed in the flame, the water takes in most of the heat from the flame. Then, the rubber of the balloon doesn’t become very hot, it doesn’t weaken, and the balloon doesn’t break.

    Water is a particularly good absorber(吸收者) of heat. It takes a lot of heat to change the temperature of water. On the other hand, when water cools, it gives off a great deal of heat. That’s why areas near oceans or other large bodies of water don’t get as cold in winter as areas at the same latitude(纬度) further inland.

    1. From the passage we can know the following aspects of the experiment except______.

    A. method B. material

    C. result D. time

    2.What does the underlined word “resist” in Para 4 probably mean?

    A. add B. expand

    C. bear D. form

    3. When the flame reaches the balloon with water inside, ______

    A. the rubber of it doesn’t become hot at all

    B. the water in it begins to boil

    C. the balloon breaks

    D. the heat is mostly taken in by the water

    4. The purpose of the experiment described in the passage is to prove that______.

    A. water is a particularly good absorber of heat

    B. some balloons can be easily broken, while others can’t.

    C. balloons without water are not as strong as those with water inside.

    D. the temperature is not up to the latitude.

    Dear Sir,

    I am writing to express my concern about the plans to build a motorway near our village.

    Haldersham is one of the loveliest villages in England. It is peaceful and quiet, and it is situated in a very attractive valley. There are also several beautiful countryside walks in the surroundings, with a view of many rare trees and plants.

    Most of the people who live in Haldersham have moved here from other places, often from London and other big cities. They have bought houses here to live in a place far away from the noise and the stress of the big city. They paid a lot of money for their houses, but they knew they would get a high quality of life for it.

    If the planned motorway is built, life in Haldersham will change greatly. There will be a lot of noise around us, and nobody will want to go on the walks. House prices will certainly go down, because nobody will want to buy houses in a place close to a motorway. Haldersham will become an ugly place.

    I don’t think any of the people living in this beautiful village want that, and we all believe exposure to noise pollution can have a direct influence on our health. So, let’s all tell the politicians who support the motorway plans what we think about them!

    Yours faithfully,

    Hilary Riley

    1.Many people move to Haldersham because ________.

    A. it has a good environment

    B. it is not far away from big cities

    C. they want to be a help to the village

    2.According to Hilary Riley, a motorway will ________.

    A. cause high house prices

    B. bring people stress

    C. provide a convenient life

    D. affect the quality of life

    3.What’s the purpose of the letter?

    A. To give an introduction of Haldersham.

    B. To show grateful thanks to the politicians.

    C. To express disapproval about the motorway.

    D. To offer suggestions on building the motorway.

    A few months after returning the US from Germany, I took a college course in the France. Since I have learned to speak German good in Germany, I thought that it might be interested to begin studying another language.

    In the first class, the teacher asked me to do a pronunciation exercise, in which he would say a word or two in French, and each student would do his best to copy. When he got me, he kept having me said more words, but I finally asked him why. "I find it great funs. It's the first time I've heard the American speak French with a German accent." he explained.
