So its important for everyone to save water. Here are some tips for saving water. Indoors: Turn the tap off while you are brushing your teeth, washing your hands, doing dishes, taking a shower and so on. Catch the cold water that comes out of the tap or shower while you are waiting for the hot water. Use it to water plants or wash your toilet. Dont wash clothes too often. When you use the washing machine, make sure there is not only a pair of pants in it. Outdoors: Water the garden and grass at night. This gives water more time to get into the earth without evaporation from the days heat. Plant small trees under big trees. This will help stop evaporation and gives some shade(树阴) for your plants.

It was the theory of the physics behind the workings of our world and the universe.The idea was that the waves are like waves in space, caused by some of the violent and energetic processes in the universe. For example, two black holes crashing into each other.Now a group of scientists, including ones from Caltech, MIT and the LIGO Scientific, Collaboration finally found the gravitational waves.David Reitze is the executive director of the LIGO observatory at Caltech.“We have detected gravitational waves. We did it!”What are these gravitational waves?Well, imagine throwing a rock into a pond. When the rock hits the flat surface of the water, it creates waves. Space-time is like the surface of the water. So that means gravitational waves are like the waves moving out from where the rock hits the water.It might be hard to understand, but those gravitational waves expand and contract space and time as they move through space. And when they get to the Earth, the waves pass through, and they contract and expand the planet as the waves go by.It was Einstein who said these gravitational waves should be observable.But these are not huge waves. They are very, very small, which is why it took so long to find them. You cannot see them with your eyes. They are smaller than the size of an atom.How did the scientists find them?They used a giant scientific tool called LIGO, which stands for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. The billion-dollar LIGO project is two L-shaped observatories. One is in Louisiana and the other in Washington state.For years, scientists have been watching two black holes in another faraway galaxy. The two were spinning around each other, moving closer and closer together. When they finally crashed into each other, it was with such power and force that gravitational waves rang throughout the universe, like a giant bell.Those waves, traveling at the speed of light, finally reached the Earth, some l. 3 billion years later. They are the same waves that the scientists announced this past week.So, what does this discovery mean?Our understanding of the heavens changed dramatically.( )32. What are gravitational waves about?A. About the workings of the universe.B. About how black holes form.C. About how the universe began. D. About how the waves form on the surface of water.( )33. The underlined sentence “two black holes crashing into each other” is used to express _.A. how the universe begins to exist B. how gravitational waves formC. how new black holes appear D. how the earth is affected( )34. Why are gravitational waves difficult to find ?A. Because they are too small. B. Because they are far away.C. Because they seldom occur. D. Because they have disappeared.( )35. With the discovery of gravitational waves, well _.A. create a new world B. make full use of gravitational wavesC. understand the universe in a new way D. avoid being hit by black holes四、 词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）A）根据句意，用所给单词的正确形式填空，每空一词。36.

Are they eating properly? Are they getting enough exercise? According to a new study, these worries may not be completely wrong. Meg Small, a researcher, says that only one third of college students have a healthy diet.Fortunately, according to the research, students seem to be healthier on the days when they communicate with their parents. Students at a large US university were asked to complete some surveys. The surveys included questions about how much time students spent talking to their parents and questions about their eating habits and activity levels.During the two-week survey, it was found that they ate 14% more fruits and vegetables, and were 50% more likely to take part in at least 30 minutes of sports or activities on the days when they communicated with their parents for 30 minutes or more.Meg Small believes that some parents may directly remind their children to eat better foods and take part in activities, but it is also suggested that even if healthy living was not discussed, the very act of having communicated with their parents can be enough to encourage them to make healthier choices and take better care of themselves.This study suggests that the more parents communicate with their children, the healthier lifestyles their children will lead. However, it is equally important to get a balance. By calling too often, parents may quite easily appear to distrust their children, while calling too little, or not at all, sends the message that they do not care.阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的表格。每空一词。ProblemMost college students eat unhealthily at school.About the study Students at a U.S. university were asked to complete some surveys, which 56 two weeks.
