Warm water freezes more quickly than cold water. Sir Francis Bacon said that almost four hundred years ago. But few people believed him until 1970. In that year a Canadian scientist George Kill proved the English professor was right. Dr Kill filled an open oil pail(桶) with cold water. He filled another with warm water. He put both in the same low temperature. The warm water froze first. The lack of covers on the pails is the secret. Some of the warm water changed into vapor. This meant that less of the warm water was left to be frozen. And so the warm water froze faster than the cold water even though it had a greater temperature drop to make.
小题1:Hundreds of years ago, Sir Francis Bacon found _______. | A．the temperature of warm water drops faster than that of cold water | | B．warm water is heavier than cold water | | C．warm water has the same temperature as cold water | | D．warm water is not as useful as cold water |
小题2:What Sir Francis Bacon said was right, but people didn"t believe him until _______. | A．late in the 19th century | B．early in the 20th century | | C．three years ago | D．late in the 20th century |
小题3:Leave a pail with warm water and another pail with cold water in the same low temperature, you’ll find that _______. | A．cold water freezes first | | B．warm water turns into ice before cold water | | C．warm water and cold water freeze at the same time | | D．much of cold water is changed into air. |
小题4:Why does warm water freeze first in the same freezing weather? | A．Because some of the warm water turns to vapor, the amount(数量) becomes less than that of cold water. | | B．Because warm water is lighter than cold water. | | C．Because the temperature of warm water is lower than that of cold water. | | D．Because cold water freezes with more difficulty than warm water. |

2008 sadly saw the worst earthquake in China in over 30 years. The Great Sichuan Earthquake was 8 on the Richter scale and killed around 70,000 people in May, not to mention the tens of thousands who were injured or went missing.
On 26th January, 2009, the biggest earthquake in India took the lives of 25,000 people. In the morning, when everybody was enjoying holiday, the earthquake began, It was about 7.5 on the Richter scale. "There is nothing left between the sky and the earth any more. Everything has been pulled down. " said one of the villagers alive. " There is no water, no food and no one has come to help."
Nobody died in Pakistan, a country next to India. The City of Lahore was lucky. In Lahore American School, where I was studying, all of the students were safe. They were in the field, so most children didn"t feel anything. The earthquake was felt by the teachers that were on the second floor. However, though Mrs Young was also on the second floor, she didn"t feel anything. She didn"t know what happened until a teacher told her about it. Those teachers who were on the other floors had different feelings. Mr Emond, the maths teacher from Australia, said that when the earthquake started he thought there was something wrong with him, but then another teacher said that it was an earthquake. After those words Mr Emond felt better. Mrs Davis and Mr Frost didn"t feel anything either.
My mother didn"t feel anything. She didn"t even know that it was an earthquake till she saw a shaking light. My dad saw the computer shaking and then he looked out of the window and saw many people going out.

For many years there"s been a debate about rewarding our children. Does it work? Is it effective?
Some people think we should establish a standard with our kids and give them something for meeting this standard as a reward. Punishment is given out in much the same way, but it’s used when certain standards of performance, behavior, etc. have not been met. Kids will often become more dutiful when threatened with punishment, and work harder when promised a valuable reward. The problem is what happens when you aren’t around.
To develop responsible, self-disciplined kids, parents need to promote certain ideas. One of these ideas is that everyone pitches in and helps in your family. Another idea is that there can be enjoyment in doing any task if we choose to make it so. When a task is for a worthy cause (our family can enjoy the house more because I helped clean it), this message can have a big impact.
This is how we help our kids develop a sense of responsibility. When our children develop this responsibility, they’ll be more disciplined, and they’ll control their emotions better. When we give rewards to our kids, we reduce the sense of responsibility. We also create children who may temporarily perform to a certain standard, but who aren’t likely to continue the performance without the carrot hanging in front of them.
“Rewards and punishment can change behavior for a while, but they cannot change the person who engages in the behavior,” said Alfie Kohn, author of Punished by Rewards. “Good values have to be grown from the inside out.” Parents can help give their children a sense of shared responsibility and discipline which can last a life time. The real rewards that your children receive will be their readiness for the complex and demanding world that waits for them—a world that rewards those who have learned the secrets of discipline responsibility. So keep those shiny rewarding to yourself, and let your kids find their own rewards.
小题1:According to the passage, when children are threatened with punishment, ______.| A．they may lose interest in their work | | B．the results will be worse than usual | | C．they may change to another person | | D．they may appear to be well-behaved |
小题2:The underlined part “the carrot” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to _____.| A．apologies | B．aims | C．rewards | D．doubts |
小题3:According to the passage, Alfie Kohn would agree that parents should ______.| A．never pay attention to the way their children do things | | B．show their children how to behave by example | | C．help their children establish good values | | D．never punish their children |
小题4:What’s the best title for the passage?| A．Should parents reward their children? | | B．Do you often reward your children? | | C．When should parents reward their children? | | D．What can parents reward their children with? |

The evidence for harmony（和谐）may not be clear in some families. But it seems that four in five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly- held image(印象)of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. ”We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families, ”said one member of the research team. ”They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat. ”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat the children as friends. ”My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me, ”says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. ”I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it. ”Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. ”Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that. ”
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenagers’ rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, ”Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in out social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over. ”
小题1:What is the popular images of teenagers today?| A．They worry about school | B．They dislike living with their parents | | C．They are locked in to avoid trouble | D．They quarrel a lot with other family members |
小题2:The study shows that teenagers don’t want to ___| A． share family responsibility | B． cause trouble in their families | | C． go boating with their family | D． make family decisions |
小题3:Compared with parents of 30 years age, today’s parents___. | A． go to clubs more often with their children | | B． are much stricter with their children | | C． care less about their children’s life | | D． give their children more freedom |

小题5:Which of the following NOT TRUE?
A.Parents are stricter than their own parents.B Parents get along well with their kids C.Parents will discuss something with their kids D. Harmony in family is important. |
