Kathy Gradys D. Denise HarrissBWhat 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. Heres 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 dont swirl anymore. The bubbles still stay in the air. They dont fall to the ground any faster than they would on a warm summer day.When these frozen bubbles break, they dont 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. Its so interesting that I want to try it again next year.50. It is the perfect time to blow frozen bubbles on a _ day. A. cold winter B. warm spring C. hot summer D. sunny autumn51. 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 confetti52. 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 bubblesC“Earworms”, some people call them. Songs that get stuck in your head go round and round, sometimes for days, sometimes for months. For no clear reason you cannot help yourself from humming or singing a tune by Lady Gaga.To a psychologist, the most interesting thing about earworms is that show a part of our mind that is clearly outside of our control. Earworms arrive without permission and refuse to leave when we tell them to. They are parasites(寄生虫) living in a part of our minds.If you have got an earworm you can suffer an attack of it simply by someone mentioning the tune, without having to hear it. This proves that earworms are a part of long-term memory. Humans have an “inner ear”, for remembering phone numbers, for instance. When it gets infected with earworms, rather than review our plans for the day, or lists of things to remember, the inner ear gets stuck on a few short bars of music or a couple of phrases from a song. A part of us that we normally do not have to think about, that should just do what we ask, has been turned against us, upsetting us with a request that we never asked for. The mind is an inner world which we do not have complete knowledge of, or have control over.Fortunately psychology can provide some advice on how to deal with an uncontrollable mind. Consider the famous “dont think of a white bear” problem, which tells you to try not to think about white bears, or to do something else, to avoid both thinking of the white bear and not thinking of the white bear. For earworms, the solution may be the same. Our inner ear has become infected with an earworm. This is a part not under our control, so just sending in instructions to “shut up” is unlikely to be of much help (and has been shown to make it worse). Much better is to employ the inner ear in another task. If your mind is poisoned by Brittany Spears Toxic, for instance, then try singing Kylie Minogues Cant Get You out Of My Head. Let me know if it works!53. According to the passage, earworms are _ . A. songs that keep going round in our mind B. tunes by pop singers like Lady Gaga C. parasites clearly under out control D. worms that live in a part of our brain54. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Singing songs may get earworms out of your head. B. Earworms are used for keeping long-term memory. C. Humans do not have complete control over their mind. D. You wont suffer from earworms unless you hear the song.55. What does “it” in the last paragraph refer to? A. The instruction to shut up your mind. B. “Dont think of the white bear” problem. C. Kylie Minogues Cant Get You out Of My Head. D. Using the earworm-infected inner ear in another task.56. What is the passage mainly about? A. The causes and influences of earworms. B. What earworms are and how to deal with them. C. How to clear earworms from your head. D. The relation between earworms and popular songs.DPeople have used pigeons to carry message to one another for hundreds of years. In the 12th century, the royal of Iraq and Syria included pigeon houses so the kings could be kept informed of their generals victories and defeats on the battlefield. In fact, pigeons were a common way to send messages right up through World War II.Many countries, such as the United States, England, France, Germany, and Italy, in both World War I and World War II, used carrier pigeons. Not only were the birds often the fastest, most reliable way to send messages, they could also be used to reach soldiers far behind enemy lines, where radios and field telephone lines were useless. Since they could easily be released(释放) from airplanes or ships, every branch of the armed services used the birds. In world war II, more than 3,000 soldiers and 150 officers were needed to care for and train the tens of thousands of birds in the U.S. Pigeon Service.Carrying messages could be a dangerous job. Some pigeons performed with such bravery that they became famous and were even awarded medals, such as Englands Dicken Medal of Gallantry. In a few cases, pigeons even became prisoners of war. In 1918 America forces captured a pigeon named Kaiser, which had been trained to fly special missions for Germany, during battle. He was taken to America, where he lives to the age of 32. The most famous pigeon of all many have been Cher Ami. Stationed in France during World War I, he carried twelve important messages for American forces. On his last mission, though wounded, he carried a message that saved the lives of 194 American soldiers. For his extraordinary service, he was awarded the French “Groix de Guerre.”Carrier pigeon are a slightly different breed(品种) from the kind of pigeons you see on city streets. They are much thinner and taller, with longer legs. Many people find carrier pigeons ugly because of their big wattle, a bent build of skin on the beak(鸟嘴); however, people who raise pigeons often enjoy this strange appearance and consider carriers the best of their breed.Today, modern communication methods can carry information from one place to another hundreds of times faster than a pigeon could do. However, few people would argue with the fact that carrier pigeonsespecially those that served in the militaryhave earned their place in history. Stories about brave pigeons such as Cher Ami, President Wilson, and Colonels Lady have the power to inspire us no fax machine or high-speed Internet connection could ever do.57. Many countries used carrier pigeons in the war because _. A. they could be believed in B. they were easily raised C. they could reach the enemy lines D. they could hardly be found by airplanes58. Which is the best example to show the bravery of the carrier pigeons? A. Carrier pigeons could fly to places where radios and telephone lines were useless. B. For his extraordinary service, Cher Ami was awarded the French “Croix de Guerre”. C. In World War II, more than 3,000 soldie
