Three kids have been learning chemistry for only a few months. But they have already begun to challenge (挑战) a world famous scientist!

Li Weichi, Huang Runling, and Xiao Yan are from Zhongshan Huaqiao Middle School in Guangdong. They have just found a red cabbage that could be a new kind of acid-base indicator (酸碱指示剂). They want it to take the place of litmus (石蕊) paper.

"We've learnt to think of and ask questions about life by ourselves," said Li, "We work well with each other."

British scientist Robert Boyle discovered the use of litmus paper over 300 years ago. Now it is used widely in experiments all over the world.

But when the kids did some experiments in class last winter, they saw that the litmus paper didn’t turn very blue with base matter. It's hard to get a clear result.

Will there be a better indicator than litmus paper? The three kids decided to try and find out!

How? They went to collect over 40 plants in parks, gardens and markets. Then they ground (研磨) leaves, flowers and stems (茎) to get the pigments (色素) from them.

The kids mixed pigments with acid and base. They spent months watching carefully to see which paper showed the best colour change. They decided it was the litmus paper!

"It's our first scientific journey, Huang said, "But it makes me want to try harder."

1. Whom did the three kids want to challenge?

A. Their chemistry teacher.     B. Their headmaster.

C. Robert Boyle              D. Thomas Edison

2. From the text, a red cabbage is a kind of ____.

A. plant　　B. animal　　C. paper　　D. liquid

3.What is widely used as the acid-base indicator now?

A. red cabbage              B. litmus paper

C. any plant                D. any flower

4.The story mainly tells us ____.

A. how to make litmus paper    B. about the three kids' spirit

C. scientists were wrong        D. the kids are heroes

Recent research from the Pew Internet Project suggests that 90% of Americans aged from 12 to 17 use the Internet, and 51% of those teens use social networks. However, there are many possible problems with social networking sites and the teenagers who use them.

Apart from the social advantages, social networking sites can be used to record school research, develop artistic talents and experiment with other forms of subject creation. They provide a way to communicate with others who share the same interests and to get helpful advice on ongoing projects.

Along with these advantages come some dangers. For example, most social networking sites are open to all, especially MySpace, which is the most popular social network among teens in America. It means that they could be put in unpleasant and frightening situations.

A greater danger is that teens may become objects of the people with secret purposes. The secrecy of some social networking sites makes it easy for dangerous people to find young teens and invite them into dangerous conversations. It’s easy for them to pretend as teens and draw children into dangerous real-world communication as well. Then further hurt might be on its way.

Another danger is identity stealing, which can happen when teens share too much information about their names, dates of birth and locations.

Therefore, it’s very important to make sure teens are safe when they use social networks.

Many of the same rules that work for online chat work for these sites:

※ Don’t use your real name.

※ Don’t give out personal information to people you don’t know. A last name and a town

are enough for a bad guy to find where you are.

※ Don’t believe that people are who they say to be.

※ Immediately end any communication that makes you uncomfortable and report it to a

parent.

Only if you are sure of your safety, can you enjoy the fun brought by social networking. Besides, trying to deal with all problems on your own can lead to terrible results. Remember, asking your parents or school officials for help doesn’t mean you are unable to do anything but wiser than many others.

1.How many dangers of using social networks are mentioned in the passage?

A. 2.                 B. 3.                C. 4.                D. 5.

2.The writer takes MySpace as an example to show that ________.

A. students could be put into unreal situations on the Internet

B. teenagers are facing unknown dangers on the social networks

C. Internet provides more social websites to American teenagers

D. social networks are very popular among teenagers in America

3.We can infer from the passage that ________.

A. the dangers are similar when chatting online and surfing social networks

B. more than half American teenagers aged from 12 to 17 use social networks

C. teens who ask for help are wiser when meeting problems on social networks

D. there are more disadvantages than advantages for teens to use social networks

Amanda is an American filmmaker and actress. She came to China three years ago to study Performance at Beijing Film Academy. Last month, she m51  to Japan to study Economics at the University of Tokyo. On June 10th, she r52  to the USA. She chatted with her parents about the cultural d53  between the two countries.

“The people in b54  countries are very friendly to f55 . But they have different cultures. For example, when I spoke Chinese in China, the people there always showed s56 on their faces. But when I came to Japan, I found it was o57 . Most local people there hoped I could talk with them in Japanese, t58  I was not good at it,” she said.

Amanda thought this might have something to d59  with the fact that the western group in Japan is o60  than the one in China. They have stayed in Japan for a long time. And most of them speak Japanese well. But Westerners in China are still quite a new group. They’re usually treated as guests and tourists.

A small town named Bundanoon in Australia has decided to stop the sale of bottled water(瓶装水). They say that bottled water can cause environmental problems. Too many resources(资源) are used to make bottled water. When people finish drinking the water, the bottles will be thrown away and go into dustbins. So they require local people in the town to stop buying bottled water and use tap water to drink. Visitors are encouraged to get water from water stations in the main streets, and fill the water in bottles that can be used again. The decision has been supported(支持) by all the shopkeepers in the town. Bundanoon is the world’s first town that has got its shop selling bottled water. Probably we should follow the example. Let’s stop buying bottled water and use tap water！
