    When you look up into the sky at night, have you ever felt that your eyes are playing tricks on (捉弄) you? It seems that the stars are moving all the time.
    Actually, there is nothing wrong with your eyes. This twinkling effect is called scintillation (交光). Scintillation happens because of air movements in the earth’s atmosphere (大气). Light is “bent (弯曲的)” when it travels through different parts of the earth’s atmosphere. As the air in the earth’s atmosphere is moving all the time, the light from the stars looks as if it is moving too.
    The same thing also happens to things on the ground. On a very hot and shiny day, if you look at the road, the image in the distance is not clear and things move slightly. You can also see the same effect if you drop a rock into water. The rock appears a little unclear under the moving water.
    This twinkling effect causes a lot of problems for astronomers (天文学家) since they cannot observe the stars clearly. A telescope (望远镜) was sent into space so that the air movements in the atmosphere could be avoided (避免). It took a long time to build the space telescope but finally in 1990, a huge space telescope called the Hubble Space Telescope was successfully sent into space. Since then, astronomers have many important observations that have helped people understand space better.

    Many parents like setting family rules for their kids. When kids break rules, parents will give them some punishments, which aren’t included in rules. In fact, when you tell your kids about a new rule, you should talk with them about the price they should pay for breaking the rule — what the punishment will be.
    Punishments you set should be reasonable, without violence or threat (暴力或威胁). For example, if you find your son smoking, you may limit his social activities for two weeks. You should punish your kids only in ways you have discussed before the rule is broken. A study shows that the most popular punishment is to limit kids’ TV time.
    It’s understandable that you’ll be angry when rules are broken. Punishment is a way to express your anger, but it’s not a very good one. Sharing your feelings of anger, disappointment or sadness with your kids can have a better effect (效果) on them. Try to do that. When your kids know what they have done has made you sad, they will feel compunctious. When they know their actions influence you greatly, they will obey rules better.
    Rules are made to help your kids behave better. If your rules or ways of punishment make them unhappy or under a lot of pressure, are they helpful?
    小题1:What’s the passage mainly about?
    A．How to make rules.B．Why to make rules.
    C．Why to punish kids.D．How to educate kids.
    小题2:Which of the following is the most popular way to punish kids?
    A．Beating them.
    B．Telling them empty threats.
    C．Limiting their TV time.
    D．Using punishments which are not mentioned in rules.
    小题3:In the writer’s opinion, which is thought to be the best way to express anger to kids?
    A．Punishing them.
    B．Keeping silent.
    C．Asking them to do some housework.
    D．Telling them how disappointed you are.
    小题4:The underlined word “compunctious” in the passage means “       ” in Chinese.
    A．激动的B．无聊的C．刺激的D．内疚的
    小题5:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．Punishment is the best way to educate kids.
    B．Breaking rules is common, so we don’t need to pay too much attention to it.
    C．Parents set ways of punishment in order to make kids know the price for breaking rules.
    D．More pressure should be given to kids.

    Thousands of years ago, people didn’t know that the Earth moved. They thought the sun really did move across the sky. The Greek god Helios was said to drive the sun around the sky with his chariot（战车）. But now, these ideas have all changed. Nowadays, it is the sun that drives our “chariot” around the sky.
    So what does all this mean? Well, quite simply, there is now a plane （or “chariot”） that is powered by the sun. It has special parts in its wings. These parts absorb power from the sun. They absorb so much power that they can carry on flying at night. In the Greek myths（希腊神话）, Helios had to take a break at night. It seems we’re finally even more efficient than the gods themselves.
    This plane is called Solar Impulse （“太阳驱动”号）. It will fly across the US in May. This is very important for the future of the world.
    So why is solar energy so good for us? Well, other kinds of energy cause a few problems. If you live in China, you’ve probably noticed the pollution. This is caused by burning coal or gas to make energy. The heat and chemicals（化学制品）from this make things work. But if we use the heat from the sun, we don’t have to burn anything, and there’s no pollution.
    Solar energy is not all there yet. It needs to be improved. But the best thing about it is that, unlike coal and gas, it doesn’t run out. Solar Impulse could keep flying forever. Well, actually, the sun will run out too, one day, but not for another 5 billion years. That’s a pretty long flight.
    小题1:What does “chariot” really refer to in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?
    A．The Earth.B．The Greek god. C．Solar Impulse.D．Birds.
    小题2:Which of the following is TRUE of Solar Impulse?
    A．It can only fly at night.B．It has already flown across the US.
    C．It is powered by the sun.D．It needs gas to work.
    小题3:In the passage, what is mentioned as the cause of pollution in China?
    A．Overpopulation.B．Burning coal or gas.
    C．Using solar energy.D．Heavy traffic.
    小题4:What does the writer mean by “That’s a pretty long flight”?
    A．It takes a lot of time to get Solar Impulse going.
    B．Solar Impulse moves very slowly.
    C．Solar Impulse will be in use for a long time.
    D．Solar Impulse has a long way to go to take the place of the sun.
    小题5:The passage is most probably taken from___________.
    A．a Greek mythB．a science fictionC．a story-bookD．a science magazine

    According to some predictions, human beings will die out in 2012. Nearly all people think it’s impossible, but there are some more earthquakes in recent years.
    Animals can predict the weather or other natural events. It may sound strange, but farmers living in the countryside think so. For hundreds of years , they have observed animals.
    “Animals ’ behavior can be connected to future weather conditions or events.” They say. For example, if cows lie down, a rainstorm is coming. There are many traditional stories connecting animals and natural events. Many people think that these stories don’t have scientific evidence( 根据 ) at all. Scientists, however, are beginning to take another look at some of these ideas.
    A Japanese earthquake researcher named Kiyoshi Shimamura noticed an increase in dog bites a short time before earthquake hit. Then he did research on twelve public health centers in Kobe, Japan. These health centers treated people after the 1995 earthquake . He got some interesting information about the month before the big earthquake:  treatment for animals’ bites had increased . In fact, aggressive(侵略的)behavior in dogs, such as biting and barking loudly , jumped 60 percent.
    There are also other changes in animals’ behavior before the earthquake. For example, fish began swimming together in large groups , but only in the middle of the water and not near the edges. Birds flew away from their nests for many days, leaving their eggs unprotected . These animals’ behavior suggests that animals may be able to predict natural events better than people.
    小题1:What would cows behave before a rainstorm?
    A．RunningB．BitingC．Lying downD．Sleeping
    小题2:What do dogs begin to do just before an earthquake?
    A．They leave their homes. B．They hurt people.
    C．They lie down in grass.D．They stay together in large groups.
    小题3:Which of the following animals behave strangely before an earthquake according to this passage?
    A．FishB．CowsC．PigsD．All of the above.
    小题4:In Kiyoshi Shimamura’s investigation(调查)，before the big earthquake, treatment for animals’  bites had _________.
    A．disappearedB．increasedC．been the same as before.D．never changed.
    小题5:What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．Natural events and animals’ actions.
    B．What animals do during earthquakes
    C．Many earthquakes of Japan.
    D．Some stories about animals.
