Easy floating

If you have ever been swimming in the ocean, you may have noticed that sea water is easier to float in than pool water. Here’s why:

You’ll need

 Two clear bowls 　　  Food coloring　 Spoon　  Salt　  Two eggs

1. Fill bowls halfway with water.

2. Add 10 tablespoons of salt to one bowl, mix until it dissolves, and then add several drops of color.

The water and salt particles (粒子) in the salt water bowl are closer together than plain water particles are. They press harder against the egg than the plain water particles do and the egg floats.

1.The purpose of the experiment is to explain ________.

A. why the egg floats in the salt water

B. why people float more easily in the sea

C. how we can make the egg float in water

There are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power (原子能)

First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station. Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail. Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.

Second, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes non-radioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers.

Third, there may occur the danger of a leak(泄漏) or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. However, it can happen.

Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster(灾难) is extremely high.

1.Which of the following is FALSE?

A. It is possible that a leak or an explosion occurs at a power station.

B. It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across land.

C. The containers are likely to be broken by an earthquake.

D. Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases for many years.

2.The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are ＿＿＿ .

A. easy      B. impossible        C. reasonable      D. ineffective

3.What do we learn from the last paragraph?

A. The power station is a safe place.

B. The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented.

C. The general public are strongly against the nuclear program.

D. By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to cause much worry.

4.What is this passage about?

A. Uses of nuclear power.

B. Dangers from nuclear power.

C. Public anger at nuclear power.

D. Accidents caused by nuclear power.

5.As for the possible dangers of nuclear power, ______.

A. none of them can be completely avoided

B. effective measures have been taken to avoid them

C. man will never be able to do anything about them

D. one is usually the cause of another
