请阅读下面短文，根据短文内容从下面方框的七个选项中，选择五个还原到短文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。并将其答案填写到答题卷的相应位置。
Have you ever tried to hide your emotions（情感）from someone during a conversation? 1.
Scientists from the Ohio State University have found that people are able to tell other people's emotions according to changes in the color of their faces.
Scientists studied pictures of people's facial expressions.2. For example, happiness makes our faces red around the cheeks and a little blue around the chin. Disgust(厌恶) creates not only a blue-yellow color around the lips, but also a red-green color around the nose and forehead.
"We believe these color patterns are the result of small changes in blood flow triggered(触发) by the central nervous(神经的) system," lead researcher Alex Martinez said.
3. Does the color alone or also facial expressions help people tell others' emotions?
To figure this out, scientists added color patterns to pictures of faces that showed no facial expressions.4. They were able to tell the emotions 75 percent of the time without any difficulty.
5. For example, when two people are heatedly arguing over something, we say they are red in the face. When a person is very angry, we'd say he or she is blue in the face.
A.But this raises a question.
B.It is shown that human emotions are influenced by colors on the face.
C.They found that every facial expression is connected to a certain color.
D.It's not always easy, because the color on your face may tell the truth.
E.Then volunteers were asked to tell what emotions the faces were showing.
F.This is why there are some Chinese sayings that connect emotions to the color of one's face.
G.It is irrational (不合理的) not to control our emotions.

People first started planting these gardens during the 1970s. At that time, the price of vegetables and fruits was rising. In many city neighbourhoods, crime(犯罪) was increasing. There were also many other problems. People decided to get together to plant gardens to fight against these problems.

These gardeners were right! Community gardens have many benefits. They improve their neighbourhoods. They also make people feel they belong to the community. When people work together in a garden, they feel they are connected with each other. People work on a small area within the garden. They grow vegetables or fruits. Each person decides what he or she is going to grow. However, they also work together to help each other. Some members have gardening experience. They can help those who are just learning how to grow vegetables and fruits.
Sometimes, garden members pay for supplies. The supplies usually include small plants and tools. Many community gardens have sponsors(赞助者). They pay for the supplies for the gardens. It helps to keep the gardens going every year. Sponsors may be parks, schools and local companies. Some groups want to be a part of the community. They help clean up and beautify a neighbourhood. They also pay for the supplies.
Community gardens give people a chance to work together. They can make the community stable(安定的). There are many programs of community gardens. Some gardens provide programs for children and elder people. They may provide classes. They may give the vegetables and fruits to poor people. Community gardens also improve air.

Have you ever rubbed(擦) your hands together when they get cold? Why do we do that? We do that for friction(摩擦). Friction happens when two things that aren’t very smooth rub together to make heat energy. The faster you rub two things together, the more friction (and heat) you can make. Let’s discover friction!
●________1.__________
Soap Water Your hands
●________2._________
(1). Make sure your hands are dry.
(2). Rub your hands together until you feel the heat of your hands.
(3). Now, use soap and water to get your hands very slippery(滑的).
(4). Try to make friction happen while your hands are slippery.
(5). Please write down what has happened.
●________3.__________
Friction is an energy that happens when two things rub together. When friction happens, it makes heat! When your hands are slippery, they won’t make very much friction and your hands won’t get so hot.
●________4._________
(1). Friction happens when you stop your fast running bike.
(2). Ancient people made fire by rubbing two pieces of wood together. Friction happened though they didn’t know it.
●_______5.________
Friction is everywhere. Have you ever noticed situations where friction is happening? If not, ask your parents to take you out in a car. If it is not too hot, touch the tires(轮胎) of the car before and after a short drive to see how much warmer they get from friction.
