Big Bubbles（气泡）
We all love bubbles. They float (飘动) through the air like little glass balls, shining with colors and light.
You can make bubbles with dishwashing soap (肥皂) and a paper cup.
Soap makes the water stick together in a round shape. The bubbles you blow will be really big!
Here's what you will need:
large bowl
spoon
4 cups of water
5 tablespoons of dishwashing soap
pair of scissors
paper cup
Follow these steps (步骤)to make bubbles:
1. Fill the bowl with the water.
2. Add the dishwashing soap into the water and mix them together.
3. Cut a small hole in the bottom of the paper cup. This is the hole that you will blow through.
4. Dip (浸泡) the top rim (边) of the cup into the soapy water slowly in the cup out of the bowl. There should be a thin “window” of soapy water filling the open space of the cup.
5. Slowly put your mouth up to the hole in the bottom of the cup. Gently blow air through the hole. A big bubble will rise into the air!
For a party, you can make a bowl of soapy water and a paper cup bubble blower for each friend. If your friends do step 4 and 5 again and again, just think of how many bubbles you can make together!

Americans love to drive. They have drive-in movie theaters, drive-through restaurants and driving vacations. It’s often called the “Great American Road Trip”: Your whole family gets into a van or recreational vehicle (RV, 旅行房车), and hits the road for a summertime trip across the country.
American cars are always big, but RVs are the biggest. These are houses on wheels. RVs have kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms. All across the country you can find RV parks – places to park your RV and spend the night. And, if you can’t find one, you can always make your home in a grocery store parking lot.
As big as RVs are, they still seem very small to a family who has to spend every hour of every day together. With your little brother kicking you in the face all night in your tiny bed under the table, the dog barking and Mom playing her country music on the radio, your family is not at its best.
What’s worse, RVs are always breaking down. So it’s possible to spend a lot of time watching dad under the RV on the side of a dusty road.
But RV travel can be a great time with the family, too. You can see the country in the comfort of your own “home”. You can spend every night in a different, natural and beautiful place, or just stay where you are. You don’t have to pay for hotels or restaurants, only gas. But, best of all, you are free to go wherever you want at any time in your home-away-from-home.
1.RVs have the following EXCEPT____.
A. Bathrooms B. Bedrooms C. Kitchens D. Gardens
2.Why do American people like to travel in RVs?
A. Because RVs can go faster than other cars.
B. Because they can listen to music on the radio.
C. Because RVs never break down on the road.
D. Because it’s like traveling in their own home.
3. If you travel in RVs, you only have to pay for____.
A. Hotels. B. Gas. C. Food. D. Drinks.
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Traveling in RVs is more expensive than living in hotels.
B. RVs are big enough for families traveling together.
C. It is not difficult to find parking places for RVs and spend the night.
D. It is less fun to travel in RVs than to stay in hotels.
