This gum came from a special tree that grew on their land. In 1848, a sailor called John Curtis began selling it. He was the first person to sell chewing gum. The gum he sold cost just a few cents for two pieces. It became popular very quickly even though it was very hard to chew. Nowadays, other things are added to the gum to make it soft and sweet.By 1890, there were hundreds of different chewing gums. The most famous name in chewing gum, however, is probably William Wrigley. He spent a lot of money in advertising and even sent free pieces of gum to children on their birthdays. He also said that chewing gum helped people work better and that it stopped people from feeling tired.Although today many millions of people chew gum, not everyone thinks it is a good thing to do. Many people think it is dirty. The Singapore government does not allow people to buy chewing gum. One reason for this is that when some people have chewed all the taste out of their piece of gum, they take it out of their mouths and put it on to the backs of seats or other places. （1）请将处翻译成汉语（2）请根据处内容完成下面句子。People make chewing gum soft and sweet _something to it.（3）把处改为直接引语。He also said“, Chewing gum_ people work better and it _people from feeling tired.”三、 语法填空 (共1题；共1分)5. （1分）Its _ (amaze) that she is able to solve the problem so quickly.四、 阅读短文，判断正误 (共1题；共8分)6. （8分）阅读理解Find Which Direction Is SouthDo you have a good sense of direction? If not, please take with you a compass.

You can tell by the slightly confused load on their faces that nothing on the ground seems to match the map. Never mind. The sun is shining and its still morning.If you dont know the exact time, you can still find out where south is, but youll need to be patient.Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its shadow.Try to position the stick as vertically(垂直)as you can. You can check this by making a simple plumb line (铅锤线) with a piece of string and weight. You havent got any string? OK, use a thread from your clothes with a button tied at the end to act as a weight.Mark the end of the shadow cast by the stick.Wait approximately half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again.Keep doing this until you have made several marks.The mark nearest the stick will represent the shortest shadow, which is cast at midday, when the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south.Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick.That point is south of where you are.Now you can turn the map, like you did before, and find which way you should be travelling.（1）To find the direction, we ought to be patient probablybecause _ .

It might be a performance of Chopins Fantaisie-Impromptu or the Pirates of the Caribbean theme song. To our surprise, it is not performed by a paid musician or a street entertainer asking for coins. Instead, a passer-by jams (即兴演奏) on the piano in the station.The national railroad company SNCF has put pianos in nearly 100 stations across France. They are rented from Yamaha Corporation.
