About a week later,Eva seemed much better.She started to play in the garden again,laughing
like before.Her father was hopeful and happy,but Miss Ophelia and the doctor were not so
sure-and neither was Eva herself.
One afternoon,her father called her over with a gift."You're getting better now,aren't you,
dear?"he asked gently,holding her hand.
Eva looked at him and began to cry."Papa,I'm going to leave you soon.I have things I want
to tell you before I get weaker."
He held her close."Don't say that.You're just tired from the illness."
"No,Papa.I'm not sad for myself,but for you and for our slaves ()They love me
and they are so kind to me.I wish they could all be free."
"Don't you think we treat them well?"he asked.
"Yes,but what will happen to them if something happens to you?Some people buy husbands
but not wives,or mothers but not their children.They separate families.Papa,when I'm gone,
will you try to set them free?"
St.Clare held her tighter(更紧地).“You're all I have in the world.I''ll do anything you ask.”
"Promise me Tom will be free."
“I promise,my dear child..”
Too weak to walk now,Eva asked her father to help carry her to bed.He lifted her gently,
rocked her in his arms,and sang softly until she fell asleep.
-Adapted from Uncle Tom's Cabin

If you put two bottles of water-one hot and the other cold in a fridge,which will freeze
quicker?The cold water,right?But in fact,the hot water most probably freezes first.Strange,isn't
it?Scientists call it the Mpemba effect.
Once Erasto Mpemba,a school boy,was making ice cream in a cooking class.He was
surprised to find that a heated mix freeze more quickly than a cold one.He wondered why this
happened.When Osbone,a university scientist,came to the school,he asked him about it.Osbone
took it seriously.He suggested that they work together to find out why.They tested many times by
using water with temperatures from 25 C to 90C,and found that the higher the water
temperature was,the less time it took the water to freeze.It means water at 25C takes the longest
time to freeze and water at 90C takes the shortest.
What causes this effect?Some scientists think that the gas leaves water as water heats up,
which makes it freeze quicker.Other scientists think differently.They say water in a bottle keeps
moving,with hot water rising and cold water going down.This convection is stronger in the
hotter bottle,which makes hot water lose heat faster than cold water.
In winter,the Mpemba effect became popular online.Many people went to Harbin and threw
hot water into the freezing air.The hot water would turn to ice at once,allowing people to enjoy
the beautiful ice mist (in the air.People took videos of this process and put them on the
Internet.
12.What is the Mpemba effect?
A.A study plan.
B.A natural guess.
C.A scientific finding.
13.Which of the following can show Mpemba and Osborne's discovery?

15.What's the purpose of writing the last paragraph?

B.It calls on teenagers to have a try in winter.
C.It provides an example of the Mpemba effect in real life.

One possible version:
A Special Day
Mother's Day was a really special day for me.I decided to spend it with my mom in the
park.
First,I prepared a hand-made card and a bunch of her favorite flowers early in the morning.
When we got to the park,we walked along the lake,talked about my school life and her
childhood memories.I also helped her take many beautiful photos with the colorful flowers
around.At noon,we had a picnic on the grass,and I read the heartfelt words I wrote on the
card to her.My mom hugged me tightly with tears in her eyes.Seeing her smile,I felt deeply
moved and realized how much love she gives me every day.
This day will always stay in my heart as a precious memory.
