How to color Easter Eggs (复活蛋)?
Easter egg hunting is the most popular activity during the Easter holiday. It is enjoyed by both children and adults as they search for hidden eggs in gardens and parks. A fun and creative preparation activity for the whole family is coloring Easter eggs at home. Here is how:

Step 3: Color the eggs.
Put the eggs in the bowl and keep them fully in the water at least minutes. Turn them from time to time to make sure all sides get dyed. The longer you leave them in the dyes, the darker the color will be.

Mr. Worth liked spending time with his grandson, Shawn. One day, Shawn came running into the house while his grandfather was visiting. He told his grandfather about a class science project that he was very excited about.
Each student was going to grow a pot of bean plants. When the plants grew big and strong, the students were to plant them in a garden at the school.
Shawn explained that his teacher taught them how to make the seeds grow. First, they put the seeds on a wet paper towel. Then, they put them near a warm window. When the seeds sprout (发芽), they are ready to be transplanted (移栽) into a pot.
After listening to his grandson, Mr. Worth said, “You can do just as you learned, but I want to show you one more thing about growing plants.”
“When I was a boy, my father showed me how to grow strong plants,” he continued. “When the plant is starting out, you put some weight on it.” Shawn looked at his grandfather in surprise. “Doesn’t the weight stop the bean from growing?” he asked. “No, of course not. This way, you will force the bean plant to be strong and healthy. If you give it everything it wants, it will grow too fast and it will be weak. It will fall over when the first big wind blows.”
Shawn listened carefully. He was eager (急切的) to grow the bean in the way grandfather described. He could hardly wait to tell his friends what he had learned that day.
6. Why did Shawn feel excited?
A. Because he could go outside.
B. Because his grandpa came to visit.
C. Because he had a class science project.
D. Because he could learn something new.
7. How many steps does Shawn need to grow bean seeds according to his teacher?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
8. Which words can best describe Mr. Worth?
A. helpful but weak. B. strong and strict.
C. kind but careless. D. patient and experienced.
9. What would happen next?
A. Shawn would listen to his grandpa’s advice.
B. Shawn would grow the bean as his teacher said.
C. Shawn would keep what his grandpa said to himself.
D. Shawn would tell his friends that his teacher was wrong.
10. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A science project. B. A pot of beans.
C. A growing lesson. D. A planting game.

AI is like giving superpower to computers. It helps them to learn things and do tasks that people usually do. According to scientists, AI could be used to tell the weather more quickly and correctly than traditional methods.
The traditional way to tell the weather is by collecting data on what is happening in the air. The data may come from places like weather satellites, planes and so on. Then the data is sent to supercomputers for weather reports. Although supercomputers are powerful, it can take many hours to produce results.
AI models have been developed to quickly tell future weather. They can tell the weather by using two sets of data: the weather at present and the weather from six hours ago. AI models are very helpful. They can be used on standard computers like office computers, and it only takes a few minutes to get the results. However, the results may not include as much information as those produced by traditional models.
Will AI take the place of traditional models? Scientists say it probably won’t, but it will be used together with them. That’s because AI still needs to learn from the data collected by traditional methods. But hopefully, AI will be able to deal with tasks that older methods find difficult, such as telling when and how much it will rain in the near future. This could give people enough time to solve the problems caused by bad weather.
11. The data in traditional weather reports may come from ________.
A. clouds B. towers C. trees D. planes
12. How does AI know about future weather?
A. By learning experience from satellites.
B. By comparing past and present weather.
C. By collecting data from different places.
D. By watching what is happening in the sky.
13. What does the underlined word “standard” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Huge. B. Slow. C. Ordinary. D. Expensive.
14. Which task will AI probably do according to the last paragraph?
A. Offering people weather maps.
B. Reporting how much it will rain.
C. Reporting when a snow will end.
D. Offering full weather information.
15. Which can be the best title for the passage?
A. AI Will Cause Bad Weather.
B. AI Could Stop Bad Weather.
C. AI Could Tell Future Weather.
D. AI Will Change Future Weather.
