A
How salty does the water have to be for an egg to float (漂浮) ?
If you put an egg in a cup of water, it will sink (下沉) to the bottom. Why? Because the density (密度) of an egg is higher than the density of water, it sinks. But if you add enough salt in the water, the egg will float to the surface! But how much salt is needed to make an egg float? Here is an interesting experiment.
Materials:
·A fresh egg ·A tall glass ·Water ·Table salt ·A teaspoon
Steps:
① Fill the glass halfway with water.
② Gently place the egg into the water. Watch it sink.
③ Take out the egg and add one teaspoon of salt to the water. Stir until the salt dissolves.
④ Place the egg back into the water. If it still sinks, add another teaspoon of salt and stir again.
⑤ Repeat step 4 until the egg floats. Record the total amount of salt used.
Conclusion:
The experiment shows that adding salt to water changes its density. The exact amount of salt needed may vary, but usually, about 4–6 teaspoons of salt in 250ml of water will make an egg float.
This simple experiment helps us understand buoyancy (浮力) and density in a fun way! If you want to learn more simple experiments that can be done at home, please CLICK here.
21. We need the following materials to do this experiment, EXCEPT ________.
A. some water B. a boiled egg C. plenty of salt D. a spoon
22. If the egg still sinks after adding 3 teaspoons of salt, what should you do next?
A. Add another teaspoon of salt. B. Add more water into the glass.
C. Use a different egg. D. Record the amount of salt used.
23. How much salt is generally needed to make an egg float in 250ml of water?
A. At least 2 teaspoons of salt. B. No more than 3 teaspoons of salt.
C. About 5 teaspoons of salt. D. At least 8 teaspoons of salt.
24. Why does the egg float in the salty water?
A. Because the density of salty water is similar to the egg’s.
B. Because the density of salty water is lower than the egg’s.
C. Because the density of salty water is higher than the egg’s.
D. Because the density of salty water is the same as the egg’s.
25. Where is the passage most likely taken from?
A. In a science textbook. B. In an art museum.
C. On a cooking website. D. On a science website.
B
We can see circles, squares and triangles everywhere in our daily life. Have you thought about their meanings in films? Much like colors, different shapes can show different features of characters in the scenes.
Circles represent things that are soft and natural. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, raindrops and so on. We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ round faces and so on. All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters’ bodies—heroes, good people—are round in shape, because circles represent goodness, happiness and friendliness.
Squares show things that are unnatural or man-made, or things that are boring or old-fashioned. For example, in the cartoon film Up, Carl has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. These shapes show the characters’ personalities. Carl is stubborn and lonely, while Russell is lovely and full of energy.
________. Every kid who draws a monster with sharp teeth draws a row of triangles, don’t they? That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. Look at the bad guys in cartoons—they are all drawn with plenty of points and triangles, like Shengongbao in Ne Zha. Besides, triangles are stable (稳固的) and don’t easily fall down. In films, this feature makes bad people difficult to deal with.
Not only in cartoons, but also in other kinds of films, different shapes are used for the same purpose. So, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like.
26. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following cartoon character will probably make people feel warm?
A. B. C. D.
27. What does the underlined word “stubborn” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Accept new ideas. B. Get on well with others.
C. Follow new fashion. D. Refuse to change.
28. Why is Shengongbao mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. To introduce him. B. To make kids afraid.
C. To prove him maybe a bad person. D. To describe how the character is drawn.
29. Which sentence is the best for ________ in paragraph 4?
A. The angriest shape is the triangle.
B. Circles can be seen everywhere.
C. All shapes have one thing in common.
D. People feel warm when they see things in triangles.
30. What is the text mainly about?
A. Why different shapes stand for different things.
B. What makes kids interested by heroes in films.
C. What different shapes stand for in different films.
D. How cartoons make different colors and shapes.
C

Volunteering means that someone works to help people without being paid. Volunteers help people who really need help. There are many places where you can see different volunteers.
At school gates, students can see some volunteers with red vests (马甲). They are parent volunteers. In order to become professional traffic volunteers, parents should learn how to give directions to students and stop them from playing soccer on the road. When students go across the street, parent volunteers put up a “SLOW” sign to let drivers slow down. Because of these volunteers, students can get to school and go back home safely.
Another group of “red vests” show up on main roads. They help cleaners pick up dirty paper, plastic bags, glass bottles and so on. They ask the passers-by (路人) not to throw the rubbish everywhere. Although their work seems simple, they still take it seriously.
Some teenagers spend their free time in hospitals or old people's homes. They cheer sick kids up or look after old people at weekends. In the countryside, some college students play an important role in volunteering. They can provide science and technology help for farmers. Some volunteers work as teachers in village schools.
A lot of volunteers show their kindness by helping others. They can make a difference to people in need and the society.
