Lily: an animal doctor

Q1: What's the worst thing that's ever happened in your job?

Probably the dog that bit me. It wasn't a big one—I don't mind the big ones. The small ones are the worst.It gave me a very nasty bite.

Q2:Have you ever done any other jobs?

Yes,I did different kinds of jobs when I was a student. One summer I did fruit-picking in Spain.

Q3: What's the worst job you' ve ever done?

In order to improve my English,I worked for a rich family in New York.I never had a day off and I had to do everything—cooking, cleaning, shopping and look after their horrible children.I left after two weeks and managed to get a job as a waitress in an Italian restaurant.

Andrew: an actor

Q1: What's the worst thing that's ever happened in your job?

So many bad things have happened but I think my worst moment when I read my first bad review in the newspaper. They wrote terrible things about me, and I was so upset. After that I didn't read my review any more.

Q2: Have you ever done any other jobs?

Oh yes, it's not easy to make a living as an actor. So I' ve done lots of part-time jobs over the years. For example, I' ve worked in a shop, sold ice-cream at the beach and handed out publicity flyers in the street.

Q3: What's the worst job you' ve ever done?

The worst job I' ve ever done was at an egg-packing factory. Working conditions are terrible—you stand for hours at the end of a belt, putting eggs into boxes. You can't have a break, and if you want to go to the toilet, you have to ask for permission. And worst of all, the smell was terrible—I' ve never eaten an egg since then.

Have you ever wondered how we know the things that we know? How do we know that the stars are really huge balls of fire like the Sun and very far away? And how do we know that the Earth is a smaller ball turning round one of those stars, the Sun?

The key to those questions is“ evidence"(证据). Sometimes evidence means actually seeing (or hearing, feeling, smelling…) that something is true. Astronauts have travelled far enough from the Earth to see with their own eyes that it is round. Sometimes our eyes need help The" evening star" looks like a bright twinkle in the sky, but with a telescope( 望远镜 ) you can see that it is a beautiful ball. Something that you learn by direct seeing(or hearing or feeling… )is called an observation(观察)

Often evidence isn't just observation on its own, but observation always hides at the back of it. If there's been a murder, often nobody(except the murderer and the dead person!)actually observed it. But detectives(侦探)can gather together lots of other observations which may all point towards the suspect(嫌疑犯). If a person’s finger- prints match those found on a knife, this is evidence that he touched it. It doesn't prove(证明)that he did the murder, but it can help when it's joined up with lots of other evidence.

Prediction helps to look for evidence. Scientists make a guess about what might be true. For example, if the world is really round, we can predict that any of us, going on and on in the same direction, should eventually find ourselves back where we started

People sometimes say that you must believe in feelings deep inside, but not all the inside feelings are real evidence.

What can we do about all this? When somebody tells you something that sounds possible, think to yourself: "Is there any evidence for that? And, next time somebody tells you that something is true, why not say to them: What kind of evidence is there for that? "Remember ,always think carefully before you believe a word.

1.Why does the writer use the example of a detective in Paragraph 3?

A. To explain what prediction is

B. To tell what observation is called

C. To introduce how detectives work.

D. To prove evidence is not just observation

2.The underlined "eventually "in Paragraph 4 means　　　　　　

A. probably　　 B. finally　　 C. completely　　 D. luckily

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Prediction helps to prove something if it is true.

B. What you see directly is real evidence

C. People should always believe their inside feelings

D. Astronauts find the Earth is round with a telescope.

4.what's the best title of the passage?

A. Evidence speaks

B. Scientists make predictions

C. Inside feelings help get ideas

D. Observation offers the facts

Imagine that you are the first person ever to see Hawaii. What would be the first thing you would set foot on?

The beach, naturally. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. These islands cover 1,600 miles and are about 2,300 miles west of California. Most of them are covered with fine white sand. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.

Another wonderful thing about the beaches of Hawaii is the water temperature. The year-round average (平均)temperature of the water at the famous Waikiki Beach is 230C!

The same is true of air temperature. In fact, there are no real seasons in Hawaii. There is a difference of only two or three degrees between the hottest day of summer and the coldest day of winter. That’s why the Hawaiians don’t have a word for weather in their language.

Perhaps the nicest thing about Hawaiian beaches are the waves. The earliest settlers (定居者) in Hawaii, the Polynesians, quickly learned how much fun it was to ride the waves. They developed a sport which is now very popular on the islands called body surfing. You go out into the ocean, wait for a big wave to come towards you, jump on it, and ride it all the way to the beach.

Now imagine once again that you are the first person ever to set foot in Hawaii. What do you think would be the second beautiful thing you would notice?

Would it be those strange triangles (三角形状物) rising out of the water hundreds and hundreds of meters high? What are those beautiful things? They are volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands. They made the islands at first. Because of them the islands are still growing.

The most famous volcano on Hawaii is Mauna Loa. It is the world’s most active volcano. It has been erupting (喷发) for thousands of years. Even when it isn’t erupting, smoke comes out of the earth from a thousand little holes.

In 1950 Mauna Loa erupted for twenty-three days. That erupting produced the greatest amount of lava (熔岩) in modern history. In 1960 it erupted again. That time it added a kilometer of beach to the island. Because Mauna Loa has erupted so often, it has become the biggest (but not the tallest) mountain in the world.

These volcanoes could be dangerous to the population of Hawaii. In fact, Hilo, the second largest city in Hawaii, is built just under Mauna Loa. The volcano could erupt at any time. Most people believe that it will erupt sometime in the next twenty-five years. But the people of Hilo do not seem worried. They live with the danger as part of their lives.

1.According to the passage, what are the two most beautiful things in Hawaii?

A.Waves and cities.

B.Beaches and language.

C.Volcanoes and beaches.

D.Volcanoes and people.

2.Which is NOT the reason why the Hawaiians don’t have a word for weather in their　 language?

A. There are no real seasons in Hawaii.

B. The temperature of the water at one of the beaches is always 230C.

C. The Hawaiians feel almost the same in the hottest day and coldest day.

D. There is not much difference in air temperature all the year round in Hawaii.

3.It can be inferred that _________ according to the passage.

A. volcanoes are more active because the area of the island is enlarging

B.the visitors to Hawaii can probably see more than one active volcano

C.Mauna Loa is the tallest mountain in the world because it has erupted so often

D.people in Hilo are sure that more visitors will come because of volcanoes
