Some students give no answer, but most answer, “Yes!”

The teacher then starts to put some sand (沙子) into the bottle. For the third time, the teacher asks, “Is it full?”

Now most students give no answer, but some still answer, “Yes!”

A long time ago, a king put a big stone(石头) in the middle of a road. Then he stood behind a big tree to see if anyone would try to move the stone away from the road.

The first people were some rich businessmen. They just walked round it. A few of them even said the king wasn’t good enough because he didn’t make the road easy to walk on. None of them tried to move the stone.

Later a farmer came along. He carried a lot of vegetables. When he walked near the stone, he didn’t walk round it as the businessmen did. He put down his things and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. It took him a lot of time but he finally made it.

Then the farmer picked up his things and was ready to go on his way when he saw a bag in the road. The farmer opened the bag. There were many gold coins(金币) and a note from the king.

Take a look at the label(标签) on almost any bottle of milk and you may see the word PASTEURIZED. What does that mean? Let’s find out by meeting Louis Pasteur.

Louis Pasteur was born in 1822 in a little town in France. As he grew up, he loved to paint. He loved to look at the world around him. When he went to college in Paris, he showed interest in looking through a microscope. A microscope makes things look a lot bigger; it lets you see things you can’t see just with your eyes. Looking through a microscope, Pasteur found a living world in a drop of water. He saw and drew pictures of the small living things -- he called them “microbes” or “germs”-- that crowded in a drop of water.

One day a winemaker came into the lab, hoping that someone could help him with his problem. “Sometimes my wine tastes delicious, but sometimes terrible,” he said to Pasteur. “Can you help me find out why?”

Pasteur put some drops of the wine under the microscope. He noticed that the terrible wine had some unusual germs. If he killed these germs, maybe he could keep the wine from turning terrible. He tried with different ways to kill the germs. In the end he found heating (加热) the wine seemed to work best. The winemaker tried it, and every bottle of wine tasted good.

Pasteur’s idea worked for other people, too. When farmers heated milk, it didn’t turn bad so quickly. When breweries heated beer, it tasted better. People called it “pasteurization” ---heating a liquid to kill bad germs. Aren’t you glad that the milk you drink has been pasteurized?

1. The Chinese meaning for the word “microbes” is____.

2. Which is the right order in Pasteur’s life story?

(1). He received college education in Paris.

(2) He helped to find some unusual germs in some drops of wine.

(3) A new way of killing bad germs--pasteurization was found out.

(4)He was born in 1822 in a little town in France.

(5) Microbes were found by Louis Pasteur with the help of a microscope.

3. What do you think Louis Pasteur was like from the passage?

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

5. What does the passage mainly tell us?
