It pumps blood in and out through these doors by changing the size of the rooms so that the doors are opened and shut.

As prices and building costs keep rising, “the do-it-yourself”(DIY)trend(趋势) in the US continues to grow.
“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Kose, “and we didn’t have enough money to buy it.” So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs. John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling (努力)to make a home when the cost of living is very high.

“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”
That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can tell how heavy the glass it. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.
With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pockets. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.
All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it.
The bottom of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them.
Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have things for visitors to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” there you can feel everything on show.
If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see.
1. By touching things ___________.
A. you will have a strange feeling

When the Audet family turns on the lights at Blue Farm, they are using electricity that comes from cows—cow manure (粪肥), to be specific.
Cows produce a lot of wastes. One cow can create 30 gallons of wastes each day. Now imagine the output of over 1,000 cows at Blue Farm. That’s really a big amount.
When farmers clean their barns, they put the wastes in a big heap, and spread some of them on their fields for fertilizer(肥料). But now places like Blue Spruce Farm have a new way of using cow wastes. They use them to produce electricity.
Here’s how it works: A big machine moves back and forth cleaning the barn floor. “The cows aren’t bothered,” says Marie Audet. “They are animals of habit; they get used to it, and just lift one foot and then another to let it go by.”
The machine pushes the manure into a big 600-gallon tank like a small swimming pool. The tank is called a digester (化粪池) because what happens there is just like what happens inside a cow: Bacteria(细菌) get to work and continue to digest the manure.
Methane gas (甲烷、沼气)in the atmosphere is known as a “greenhouse” gas because it keeps heat just like a greenhouse does, causing our planet to warm up. That’s an environmental concern. But the digester has a good result. Its gas is kept and used to power electric generators (发电机).
At Blue Farm, the generators make enough electricity to power 400 homes. The Audet family sells the extra electricity they can’t use themselves.
1. We learn from the text that the Audet family is using cow wastes to ______.
A. make electricity B. produce fertilizer C. build their farm D. feed the cows
2. How are the cow wastes collected into the digester at Blue Farm?
A. Marie Audet does the work B. The job is done by machine
C. The cows lift the cow wastes D. Bacteria get to work on them
3. According to the passage, which of the following is changed into electricity?
A. The power of moving water. B. The heat of burning coal.
C. The power of sunlight. D. The heat of the methane gas
4.The new way of using cow wastes at Blue Farm might be best described as ______.
A. reducing B. saving C. recycling D. changing
5. What is the main purpose for writing the passage?
A. To introduce a new way of making electricity B. To explain how a new energy works better
C. To show a new rebuilding plan for a big farm D. To explain the reasons for green house effect
九年级英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析
When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.
Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’ d sit on the edge of the dock(码头), feet dangling(摇晃), and got ready for a big meal.
Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.
Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.
What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.
For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.
Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.
1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.
A. relaxed B. worried C. hungry D. proud
2.How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?
A. They ate it in a polite way. B. They only ate its best part.
C. They ate every part of it. D. They shared only one piece.
3. In the eyes of the writer’s father, Bernie ______.
A. was just a rich businessman B. worked hard all the time
C. lived a rich but healthy life D. knew how to make money
4.The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A. the best part of the watermelon B. the writer’s busy life
C. the writer’s decision of making money D. the writer’s hope of enjoying life
5.It can be learned from the passage that ______.
A. one has to work hard to reach his goal B. a friend in need is a friend in deed
C. watermelon is the healthiest fruit D. one should keep work-life balance
