A middle school in Hangzhou held an activity called making money last weekend. About 200 Junior 1 and Junior 2 students were divided into（被分成）30 teams. They went out to make money by selling things.What did they choose（选择）to sell? Some sold newspapers; some chose bottled water; some sold environmentally-friendly shopping bags and bamboo baskets. Hu Qings team decided to sell some useful books in front of the Children Activity Center. They thought parents would like to buy the books for their children. But unfortunately, they met urban management officers (城管). The officers asked them to leave. We played hide-and-seek (捉迷藏) with the officers for the whole morning said Hu. Finally we had to give up（放弃）.Wang Bing and her team sold ice cream in a square. They didnt meet any officers. But few people were interested in what they were selling. The team then put up a board saying For Country Kids. It worked. More people came to their stall (小摊). A foreigner even gave them 100 yuan. He didnt want any change. He said he wanted to help the children, said Wang. We were touched. Later that day they gave the 100 yuan and more to the Project Hope office.Meng Zhaoxiang and his team were luckier. They sold all their cakes in four hours, spending 39.5 yuan and getting back 80 yuan. They made 40.5 yuan. It was not easy to make the money, said Meng. Some people just looked. Others just tasted, but didnt buy. Now I know how hard it is for our parents to make the money we need to lead happy lives.（1）In a middle school in Hangzhou, what the students talk more about is _.

Stand in a very large, empty hall with nothing on the walls. Then shout. The sounds you make will hit the walls and come back to you. The walls reflect the sounds. These reflected sounds are called “echoes”.We can use reflected sound to make sound travel farther. Hold a watch about fifty centimeters from your ear. You cannot hear it. The sound of the watch travels a short way in all directions. It does not travel as far as your ear. You can make it travel to your ear by using a roll of cardboard(纸板筒).Make the roll of cardboard about fifty centimeters long. Put one end over your ear and hold the watch at the other. Now you can hear the watch because the sound has not gone in all directions. It is reflected down the roll to your ear.A megaphone(喇叭筒)works in the same way. It makes sound travel farther. It reflects the sound into a beam which can travel a long way. In the ship, the sailor uses the megaphone to make his voice travel. Without the megaphone, his voice cannot travel far.We use reflected sound in many ways. We use it to measure the depth of the sea, for example. Among the animals, bats and whales use reflected sound to tell them where they are and what things are near them.（1）Which is the right order of hearing our echo in a very large, empty hall?a. We hear the reflected sound b. The sound returns to usc. The sound hits the walls d. We make a soundA . c, b, a, dB . c, a, b, dC . d, c, b, aD . d, b, c, a（2）From the text we learn that _ .A . reflected sound is useful only to blind peopleB . people havent made use of reflected sound yetC . bats use reflected sound to fly and get foodD . whales dont use reflected sound as they live in the sea（3）If you havent got a megaphone, _ will help you to make your voice travel farther.A . a long piece of woodB . a roll of cardboardC . a thin threadD . a long piece of silk5. （8分）根据材料内容，选择正确答案。DLook up in the sky. Do you see any clouds? What do they look like? Some clouds are fluffy(绒毛状的) and white, like cotton balls. Others are dark almost black, and make you hold an umbrella. At sunrise and sunset, clouds can look red, purple, or yellow-as if they were colored with crayons. But what are clouds anyway?You cant reach out and touch the clouds, but you can make your own in a bottle.You need* an adult helper* a huge, empty glass jar* a metal strainer(过滤器)* hot water* iceDo theseStep1. Have your helper fill the jar with hot water, leave it there for two minutes, then pour out most of the water. Leaving just an inch or two at the bottom of the jar.Step2. Its your turn, put the strainer over the mouth of the jar, fill the strainer with ice. Watch the jar.What happened?A cloud formed in the jar! Some of the hot water at the bottom of the jar turned into hot water vapor(蒸汽). The water vapor rose and met with the cold air coming off the ice. When the water vapor condensed, it formed a cloud. Hot air rises and carries with it lots of water vapor, the higher the air rises, the more it cools down. Soon the cold air cant hold all the water vapor so it starts turning into tiny water drops, and becomes a cloud.（1）This text mostly about .A . the weight of a cloudB . what makes a cloudC . the colour of cloudsD . why clouds are fluffy（2）What do you need for Step 1?A .
