   In the United States, many people use cell phones. But few send messages with them. Most of them don’t even like to try it. Do you find it strange?

   Computers are very common in America. 1. Most people like using e-mails more than messages.  Sending e-mails is faster than sending messages .They don’t need to choose the letters one by one . It can save more time . And they like talking on the phone. They don’t feel good when “talking ”by sending messages to each other.

   Another reason is to save money. Americans are excited about new cell phones .But they think a lot before they buy. So many people’s cell phones are still very old . They can’t send messages.

   2.In the U.S. ,people call for free from 7(or9)o’clock in the evening. But if they send messages ,they still have to pay. A message costs about 10 cents . It is too much.

   3.It is also bad manners to greet by sending messages in American. Americans are happier to get cards from their families or friends.

It’s bad for your health.                  It’s delicious. How about asking our teacher to stop it?     Can we do something to stop it? I want something delicious.               Aren’t the eggs and the milk enough? Why not advise our school to prepare different kinds of food.

What would happen if you tried to blow a soap bubble in freezing weather? Would it freeze solid(固体) and fall to the ground? Would you have to hit it to break it? These questions happened to me on a cold winter day. It was too cold to play in the snow, but it was a perfect time to experiment with blowing frozen bubbles.
To blow frozen bubbles, I used dishwashing soap and a drop of glycerin（甘油） to make it even better. I chose a place out of the wind, and blew bubbles the same way I always do. I watched to see what would happen. Here’s what I learned.
If the temperature is low enough, the skin of the bubbles frosts over (结霜), becoming cloudy instead of clear. And what about those rainbow swirls（旋转） you see in soap bubbles? The rainbow colors stay even when the bubbles frost, but they don’t swirl anymore. The bubbles still stay in the air. They don’t fall to the ground any faster than they would on a warm summer day.
When these frozen bubbles break, they don’t turn into small water drops as summer bubbles do. They turn into flashing rainbow confetti（碎屑） and move slowly to the ground. Sometimes a frozen bubble will roll across the snow without breaking. If nothing disturbs the bubble, it may stay there for a long time. Sometimes I could catch a bubble and hold it until the heat of my hand made it pop.
I learned another thing about blowing frozen bubbles. It’s so interesting that I want to try it again next year.
【小题1】It is the perfect time to blow frozen bubbles on a ___________day.

A．cold winter

B．warm spring

C．hot summer

D．sunny autumn

【小题2】When the frozen bubbles break, _________.

A．they make a big sound	B．they turn into small drops
C．they fall to the ground like rain	D．they become rainbow confetti

【小题3】The purpose of the passage is _______.

A．to learn how to do a science experiment

B．to show the experiment of blowing frozen bubbles

C．to discover games that are fun to play in the snow

D．to invent a new kind of soap that makes stronger bubbles

I am a girl with short hair and I like to wear shorts and a T-shirt in summer. Black and brown are my favorite colors. I speak in a loud voice. I play ball in the same way the boys do on the sports ground. I'm not as gentle as a girl.    

I didn't feel any different until last year when I experienced some shopping embarrassment.

     I went into a store with my mother on a hot summer day. My mother found a pink blouse on the shelf and asked the shop assistant, "Excuse me, do you have this in a size M?"

    "Yes," the sale assistant replied.

    "Could you bring it to her?" My mother said, pointing at me, "She'd like to try it on."

    "SHE?" the sale assistant asked, frowning (皱眉头) and staring at me.

    "SHE?" she asked again in a surprised tone.

    "Yes, she's my little girl," my mother said, patting me on the head.

     "Oh, I just thought she was a-a boy!" the girl giggled (咯咯的笑) .

    My face turned hot and I felt very embarrassed.

"Try it on, please," she said in a friendly voice after noticing my discomfort.

I glanced at (一瞥)  the blouse and said, " Mum, I don't like it and I'm not going to try it on”

"Why not? I think you would look pretty wearing it," my mother said.

"Er-r, I don't like the color, I said vaguely, hoping to leave the shop as soon as possible.

     After we got outside, my mum said to me affectionately(充满深情的), "My dear, (A)I know what' s the shop assistant said just now hurt you a little bit. But don't be so upset. You're always my precious girl, no matter what you are. Just act how you like."

     My mum put me at ease (舒坦) . What is a girl supposed to be like? And what is a boy supposed to be like? Is it true that what 1 look like is exactly what I am? (B)I don't care what you think of me. I'm me.

1. What colors does the girl like best?

2. With whom did the girl go to the store?

3. How did the sale assistant feel when she heard the word "SHE"?
