The surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it presses down upon you. Air pressure is a powerful force. When you swim underwater, you can feel water pushing on your body. The air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer (层) of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the Earth, extending to about five kilometers above the Earth’s surface.

The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home. But make sure that you are supervised (监督), because you will need to use matches. Now for the experiment.

What you need

● hard-boiled egg without the shell

● A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg

● A piece of paper

● A match

Method

1) Check that the egg will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.

2) Tear the paper into pieces and put them into the bottle.

3) Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.

4) Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.

Result

Astonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches.

Why it happened？

As the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen (air) in the bottle. The egg acts as a scale in the neck of the bottle, so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. The air pressure must equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air presses against the egg, and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! This proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on us.

1.Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment?

A. The bottle could break.

B. You need to light the paper with a match.

C. The egg needs to be shelled (脱壳).

D. The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.

2. How did the egg get into the bottle?

A. The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in.

B. It became soft without the shell.

C. The neck of the bottle was wide enough.

D. The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle.

3.The experiment is carried out to prove___________..

A. water pushes on your body when you swim underwater

B. the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphere

C. the pressure of air around us has a powerful force

D. the air pressure is not equalized around us

The earth is not the only body that travels around the sun. With it are eight other planets, fellow members of the sun’s family.

Two of them, Mercury (水星) and Venus, are nearer while the other six, namely Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, also in their given order from the sun, are farther from the sun than the earth is. The farther they are, the longer trips they make around the sun. People noticed long ago that these traveling bodies moved around in the sky in definite paths. It is a force called gravity that holds them in their paths.

We know that every little bit of matter in the universe pulls upon every other bit of matter. The pull between two bodies is proportional (成比例的) to the product of their masses. Because the sun is so large the pull between the sun and the planets are thus great. If it were not for this pull, the planets would fly off into space. In the same way there exists a pull between the earth and the moon, which keeps the moon traveling in its orbit around our planet, the earth. Gravity holds you to its surface, and pulls back to it the ball which you throw into the air. Of course the ball also pulls on the larger earth but the earth is so much larger that the pull is not noticed.

Now remember that large bodies exert a greater pull than smaller ones which contain less material. But each object in the universe, no matter how small, pulls on all other objects to some degree.

1.There are ________ that travel around the sun in the sun’s family.

A．nine planets                           B．eight planets

C．one star and ten planets                  D．the earth and the sun

2.Which two planets make the longest trips around the sun among all the planets in the solar system?

A．Mercury and Venus.                     B．Neptune and Pluto.

C．Saturn and Uranus.                      D．Mars and Jupiter.

3.From the passage we can see__________

A．all the objects, big or small, must exert the same pull on one another

B．large objects exert the same pull on anybody as small objects

C．small objects exert the same on large ones

D．each object in the universe exerts a pull on all other objects

4.From the sentence “The pull between two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses.” We can infer that the pull between__________

A．the sun and the moon is greater than between the sun and the earth

B．the earth and the moon is greater than that between the sun and the earth

C．the sun and the earth is greater than that between the earth and the moon

D．the sun and the earth is the same as that between the earth and the moon

It's been said that honesty is the best policy．It sounds like the simplest thing in the world，but being truly honest with others and with yourself can be a real challenge．Most of us learned to be dishonest as children．Remember that dishonesty is rooted in fear，so you must look for and face those fears．By listing areas where you have a problem，and then working to deal with them，you can battle these habits．If you find yourself lying because you fear disapproval from someone，for example，perhaps you need to learn how to stop being a people pleaser and be yourself．Most importantly，admit your errors so that you can forgive yourself and use those experiences to reinforce your determination to do better．

If you feel guilty for having been dishonest in the past，apologize to the person you lied to or find a creative way to make things right．If you've lied to a person who plays an important role in your life （a significant other，relative，or friend），the best （but most difficult） thing to do is to come clean．

Think honestly．This may sound silly，but if you don't think honestly，you won't be honest．
