Sometimes a scientist is 36 to answer his own questions, but if he has taken good notes ,another scientist may come along later who is able to use new knowledge to answer it.When you use the scientific method to 37 an experiment, you start by making observations(观察) about something that 38 you. Based on your observations, you make a hypothesis(假设）. This is using 39 you know to make a smart guess about what you think could happen. Then you are ready to begin your experiment. All 40 your experiment you take down notes, which are 41 experiment date(资料). You are constantly(不断地） making observations during this time. You may make discoveries that cause you to improve your experiment as you go. 42 , you conclude your experiment and begin to look over your notes to decide what it all means. Based on what you have learned, you make a final statement about 43 your hypothesis was correct or not. You have to have reasons and evidence to support what you are saying.Using the scientific method can be difficult, but worthy.

Yet she taught me a lesson that I shall never forget.On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old ladys house near her garden. I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped(滑) from my hand as I let it go and headed straight for a small window on the ladys door. At the sound of broken glass, we knew we were in trouble. We ran faster than any of our stones flew off her roof.I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadnt been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her trouble. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the newspaper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably when seeing her.I decided that I would save my paper delivery(送) money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope (信封) with a note saying that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost of repairing it.The next day, I handed the old lady her paper. She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bag of biscuits she had made herself. I thanked her and ate the biscuits as I continued my route.After several biscuits, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was shocked. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said, “Im proud of you.”( )48. What do the underlined words “be concerned about” mean?A. wait for B. worry about C. argue with D. look after ( )49. Of the following people, who has similar qualities to the writer that paid for the broken window? A. Alice, who used to spend most of her pocket money on snacks, now saves money and donates it to help the elderly. B. Tom, who used to be shy, kept practising speaking in front of his classmates and has become confident. C. Ann, who was weak in maths, now often asks her friends for help and has made much progress. D. Millie, who had stolen her aunts necklace, realized her mistake and returned it to her aunt. ( )50. What can we infer(推断)from the story? A. The old lady was such a rich woman that she didnt care about the money.B. The old lady forgave the boy for what he had done and returned him the money. C. The old lady was too proud to accept the money the boy paid for the broken window. D. The old lady didnt forgive the boy for what he had done though he said sorry to her.CAll the wisdom of the times, all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries, are easily and cheaply available to all of us in books, but we must know how to make use of this treasure. The unluckiest people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books. Im very interested in people and finding out about them. Some of the most amazing people Ive met could only be found in a writers imagination, then in his book, and then, again, in my imagination. Ive found in books new friends and new worlds.Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the writers or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate(分开的), in some way they are connected with each other. The same ideas, or related(相关的) ones, appear in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in books, but with different solutions(解决方法) according to different writings at different times. Books influence each other. They connect the past, the present and the future and have their own generations (age groups), like families. Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and in the end, you not only find out about the world and the people in it, you find out about yourself, too. Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on(专注于) books somebody tells you “ought” to read, you probably won t have fun. But if you put down a book you dont like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you wont suffer during the process. ( )51 Which of the following ideas may the writer of this article agree with?A. You will never meet amazing people in your life unless you read.B. You think actively instead of getting facts passively（被动地） when reading.C. You will get much delight from any book that you are told to read.D. You can relax yourself by reading because it involves little thinking. ( )52. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A. We can often find something connected with ourselves in books.B. Different writings at different times share the same characteristics. C. The same problems will appear in different books with similar solutions.D. Reading books which are written for your generation is more helpful to you. ( )53. Whats the writers purpose of writing this article?A. To advise us to enjoy ourselves by reading. B. To encourage us to make full use of libraries. C. To encourage us to find out solutions in books. D. To advise us to discuss books with other people. DSaying no starts small“All right then just one more piece.” Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake. Of course, many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end.It isnt just girls. Most of us find it hard to say “no” to something attractive. However, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on peoples lives for a long time. The results are similar, according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.In one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow (圆形软糖) now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes. Waiting obviously needed more willpower. Scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives. Years later, scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier, happier and richer adults. Oppositely, the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems.But there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology(心理学) professor (教授) told the Guardian. Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles. Even a little practice can strengthen our overall self-control if we do it regularly. You could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.Like muscles（肌肉）, willpower can “get tired”. Dont try to do too many things at the same time, or when you dont have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you can try to recharge(恢复) your willpower with a good nights sleep and by eating well. ( )54The example of a girl eating cheesecake is used to A. prove that girls have weak willpower B. introduce the topic of willpower to the readers C. show that cheesecake is especially attractive to girls D. show the connection between willpower and success ( )55What can we infer from the experiment? A. The scientists had already known the results before the experiment. B. It showed that willpower is the most important to success and a happy life. C. The children who chose to wait were more likely to be successful in their lives. D. The children who chose only one marshmallow at first had stronger willpower. ( )56. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the training of willpower?A. You should hav
