Sadly, summer is not so pleasant to people in a bit less lucky places, where air conditioning(空调)is not easy to get for most

14、of them.But as a saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way, especially for those who like doing it yourself(DIY). A young man from Bangladesh(孟加拉国)designed an air conditioning system called the Eco Cooler, one that does not require power, and is made of the worlds most common waste-plastic

15、bottles.The Eco Cooler is super simple to build-no special engineering skills are required. First, to fix it, a window should be taken away and replaced(替代)by it. Second, a board should be cut into the size of a window. Some bottle-neck sized holes should then be cut onto the board. Then, the funnel

16、-shaped(漏斗状)bottlenecks, cut from the plastic bottles, should be put into the holes. The next step is to fix the design onto the window frame(框)with the wider side facing outwards. And this is it.The Eco Cooler then works by catching the winds and sending them inside the building. It can reduce the

17、temperature of a room by as much as 5C-a big difference when looking at comfortable 25C compared to uncomfortable 30C.The idea of the inventor, Ashis Paul, was to show his great product to as many people as possible. For this purpose, he received help from some groups of volunteers. Together, they o

18、ffered to help local people build and fix the units, as well as teach them how to make them themselves.Yes, the Eco Cooler is not a super high-tech air conditioning system, but it is one that can make a big difference.23.

21、IY dream.BHow to investigatePlanningDecide on a scientific problem to investigateFor example, a student named Mary has decided to research into how quickly sugar dissolves(溶解)in water.Write down your hypothesisYou may already have an idea of what you expect to happen in your investigation. This idea

22、 is called your hypothesis. It may not be right! It is just an idea, though it may be based on work in science which you have done before. The aim of your investigation is to test your idea.Decide what variables(变量)you are dealing withThings like temperature, size, weight, and colour are called vari

23、ables. Variables are things you can measure(测量).In your investigation, you have to decide what the variables are, which ones you will keep fixed, and which you will change.You need to change just one variable at a time. If lots of variables change at once, it wont be a good test.Decide what equipmen

24、t you need, and in what order you will do thingsPrepare tables for your resultsGetting your evidence(数据)Make your measurements, and record your resultsReaching conclusionsLook for patterns in your resultsPresent your conclusionsWhat links(关联)did you find between any of the variables?

27、w to understand some chemistry knowledgeCWe wake up very early to go to school, maybe even earlier to meet with a teacher, complete our extracurricular(课程以外的)activities, come home to have a quick dinner, talk for eight minutes with our parents and do homework until we fall asleep. But then we rememb

28、er. We have to look at the American College Test(ACT) exercises one more time. Half asleep, we run downstairs to get the ACT book, and start studying. After this we finally get to turn off the lights and drift away to sleep. And then six hours later, we do it all over again.In my health class, my te

29、acher told us that teenagers need at least eight to nine hours of sleep each night. The sad truth is, with so much to do every day, high school students cannot keep to this sleep schedule(安排).Let me ask you all a question: Doesnt it seem more humane(人道的) to give a teenager perhaps two hours of homew

30、ork each night? This would allow us to have the eight to nine hours of much needed sleep. Or does it seem better to pile students with five hours of work a night? It leaves us very little time to relax, therefore reducing the time that we can sleep.In my opinion, the present structure(结构) of the jun

31、ior year of high school doesnt work well. Junior year of high school is a time for growth. By this time many students have the ability to think creatively, and solve challenging problems. Homework is important for a students growth. But do we really need to spend countless hours a night doing it? To

32、o much homework can only lead to too little sleep and too low an ability. I do think it is time to change the structure, so that we sleep at home, and learn at school.29.

34、blems are needed for a teenagers growthCthe ability to think has nothing to do with homeworkDthe present structure leads to students often sleeping in class31. Why does the writer write this article？ATo prove the role of enough sleep in teenagers growthBTo complain about the problems in the system o

35、f the ACTCTo ask for a change for less homework and more sleepDTo discuss the relationship between sleep and homeworkDAfter a while attention to Tom ended, and the usual school murmur（嗡嗡读书声）rose upon the boring air once more. Now the boy began to steal secret glances（偷看）at the girl. She noticed it,

36、made a face at him and gave him the back of her head for the space of a minute. When she slowly faced around again, an apple lay before her. She pushed it away. Tom gently put it back. She pushed it away again, but with less animosity (敌意). Tom patiently returned it to its place. Then she let it rem

37、ain. Tom wrote on his paper, “Please take it-I got more.” The girl glanced at the words, but made no sign. Now the boy began to draw something on the paper, hiding his work with his left hand. For a time the girl refused to notice; but her human curiosity(好奇心) soon began to show itself by hardly not

38、iceable (明显的) signs. The boy worked on, seemingly not aware. The girl made some non-committal (含糊的) efforts to see, but the boy did not display that he was aware of it. At last she couldnt bear it and whispered:“Let me see it.”Tom partly uncovered the picture of a house with some smoke rising from t

39、he chimney (烟囱). Then the girls interest began to fasten itself upon the work and she forgot everything else. When it was finished, she gazed a moment, then whispered:“Its nice-draw a man.”The artist created a man in the front yard; she was satisfied, and whispered:“Its a beautiful man-now draw me i

40、n it.”Tom drew an hour-glass (沙漏) as the body, a full moon as her head and some arms added to it. The girl said:“Its ever so nice-I wish I could draw. No one has ever taught me that.”“Its easy,” whispered Tom, “Ill learn you.”“Oh, will you? When?”“At noon. Do you go home to dinner?”“Ill stay if you

45、pleasure. In Western high schools, poetry is seldom taught because it is considered to be out of date and have little to do with the life of todays students.In China, however, poetry is still an important part of the curriculum(课程). Recently, the Ministry of Education has increased the number of anc

46、ient Chinese poems for students to memorize and recite, from 14 to 72. Why is it important to learn poems?First of all, poetry is a necessary part of learning traditional Chinese culture. It is a path to understanding your history and your society. It is also the key to understanding the thoughts an

47、d feelings that are common to everyone but that we may be unable to express-the joy of Li Bai dancing with the moon, for example. Everyone has feelings of joy, love, loneliness, sadness and even anger, and a good poem can put those feelings into words and bring us self-understanding.Poems can also e

48、xpress beauty. In a few short lines, even something common can become beautiful. Here is a poem called Fog by Carl Sandberg: The fog comes/on silent haunches（弓腰）/and then moves on. Yes, fog does move smoothly, silently and like a cat, and Sandberg catches that feeling and image(形象), and makes it bea

49、utiful.Of course, to really enjoy poetry, it has to be read aloud. After all, a poem is really just a song without music. Most ancient poetry, like Homers Epics(荷马史诗) and Chinas Book of Songs, was spoken for hundreds of years before it was written.The American poet Robert Frost said, “Poetry is when

50、 an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.” You are lucky that you now have seventy-two poems to learn!Title：WhenathoughthasfoundwordsPassageoutlineDetailedinformationIntheWestMostpeoplethinkpoetryis 36 fromthelifeoftodaysstudentsChinasrecentactionStudentsmustmemorizeandrecit
