Here is a list of some simple questions that you can ask your parents to see if they know the answers.Q: Why is the sky blue?A: You probably know white sunlight is made up of seven colors. While it moves in a straight line when going through space, it starts to divide as it hits “raised area” in the atmosphere. The ones with longest wavelengths pass through easily. The blue , however , can be taken in by the gas molecules (分子) because it has a shorter wavelength , which in turn scatters (使分散) it in different directions. Thats why when you look up at the sky, it appears to be blue.Q: Why does the moon sometimes appear during the daytime?A: The simple answer to that is because just like any other object it is being lit by the sun. As long as it is around 45 degrees or even 90 degrees off the sun, it will receive light and be able to be seen. The only time it is not able to be seen during its 28-day orbit (轨道) around the earth is when it is right between the earth and the sun. Thats because its back , which is not lit by the sun, is facing us.Q: Where do birds/ honeybees go in winter?A: While the bird part is quite easy, since a lot of them get together and travel, the honeybee part is likely to puzzle your parents. It turns out that these busy insects stop being that active when the temperature drops below 50F. Instead ,they get together in the lower central area of the hive （蜂巢）and form a ball around their queen. This helps keep both warm enough to survive the cold winter months.（1）The sky looks blue mainly because the color blue in the sunlight_.A . has the longest wavelength among all the colorsB . cannot be taken in by the gas moleculesC . doesnt hit “raised area” in the atmosphereD . cannot pass through space successfully（2）How long cant the moon be seen during the daytime in a month?A . 2B . 28C . 30D . 31（3）What do honeybees choose to do when the temperature drops below 50F?A . They choose to be active in the wildB . They choose to keep themselves warmC . They choose to travel to a warm placeD . They choose to get together in the upper central area of the hive（4）What is NOT explained in the passage?A . Why is the sky blue?B . Why is the moon able to be seen during the daytime?C . Why do birds travel in winter?D . Where do honeybees go in winter?3. （8分） Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, Happiness depends upon (取决于)ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions（建议） to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future. For example, getting into college or getting a good jobthat we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy lifes simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.（1）The best title of the passage is_.A .

I chose the topic I wonder why things are the way they are.I wrote down all the questions that puzzled(困扰)me about life. I realized that many of them were hard to answer，and perhaps others could not be answered at all. When I handed in my paper，I was afraid that I might fail because I did not answer the questions. The next day, Mr. Reynolds handed me the paper and asked me to read it for the class. The other students became quiet as I began to read my story：Mum, why are the roses red? Why is the grass green and the sky blue? Why do I have to graduate(毕业)？Why do I have to grow up? Why do I have to be called Grandma one day？Dad, why cant I stay out until 12: 00? Why do I miss my old friends? Why do I miss being at home? Why do you love me so much？Mum, Dad, why did you have to leave me? I need you.At the end of my story, I looked at Mr. Reynolds, and I saw a tear slowly coming down his face. Then I realized that life is not built on the answers we receive, but on the questions we ask.
