Olivia, Emma, and Connor were excited about the first meeting of the Inquiry (探究) Club that year. The Club was a group of students looking for answers to their questions. They met every Friday after school.
Last year, they discovered rubbish on the grass in front of the school. They asked many questions and learned that the wind blew it there from cans across the street. They made sure the rubbish got picked up and that it didn’t happen again.
Mr. Armstrong was the club’s advisor. He reviewed and passed their projects and helped guide them in their inquiries. “What ideas do you have for a big project this fall?” he asked.
“I have an idea” Emma said. “At home, I eat really healthy food with my family. Here at school, there aren’t many healthy foods for lunch.”
“I think some students here don’t even know what healthy foods are” Olivia said. She frowned.
“We could ask them what kinds of foods they eat at home,” Connor said, “and then we can compare that list against what the school cafeteria serves.”
“Great idea,” Mr. Armstrong said. “See what you can find out and report back to me on Friday.”
The club decided that each member would work on a different part of the project.
“I’ll do the first part,” Connor said. “I’ll come up with the questions we want to ask about healthy foods. Then I can ask the questions in each class.”
The girls agreed. “When you’re done, I can collect and organize the results,” Olivia said.
“Then I can write the report,” Emma said.
Connor went off to the library to work on the list of questions. It was harder than he thought. He sat for a long time just trying to come up with the questions. He thought about what they wanted to learn from the other students.
He decided to keep the questions simple. They wanted to know which foods the students ate at home compared to school. To make it easy, he came up with a list of healthy foods and a list of unhealthy foods. The students could choose what they ate from the lists. He also decided to keep track of how old each student was, in case that made a difference in their answers.
Connor went to the first classroom to ask some questions for the Inquiry Club. The teacher gave him five minutes. He hardly had time to write down all the answers. He hurried to the other classrooms. Even though he had collected a lot of information, he still needed to collect more. It would take him too long to visit all of the classrooms. He was going to need some help.
4. When Olivia frowned, she most probably felt ________.
A. afraid B. nervous C. worried D. bored
5. Which of the following shows the right order of making an inquiry?
a. Write the report. b. Search for a topic. c. Create questions. d. Collect and organize results.
A. c-d-b-a B. b-c-d-a C. b-d-a-c D. c-b-a-d
6. What can we infer from the passage about the Inquiry Club?
A. The club always solved their problems by asking questions.
B. The club’s advisor checked the projects and gave students help and advice.
C. The club did many after-school activities to improve the school environment.
D. The club members were sure that they could move forward easily and quickly.
