Suppose the year is 1666 and we can see a student called Isaac Newton. He’s away from his university for a holiday and at home with his family. Isaac Newton continues to study at home. He enjoys physics and thinking about the mysteries of the world.

    On a day there is rain and sun at the same time, so he sees a beautiful rainbow( 彩虹 )in the sky. It has many different colors. He is told that there are five. Newton wants to have his own rainbow because he wants to look at it closely. He decides to do an experiment. On a sunny day he goes inside a small room and makes the room very dark. Then he makes a small hole and the sun comes inside; it’s a small ray of light. It’s white. Newton takes a prism( 棱鏡 ) and holds it up to the light. The ray of light goes through the prism, but it isn’t white now---there are many colors. The prism has split up ( 分解 ) the white into different colors: Newton has a rainbow.

    Newton looks at his rainbow carefully. He can see more than five colors, and he can see seven. He says the colors are: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

    But Newton is a scientist and he’s always very interested in how things work.  He has his rainbow but he wants to know more. So he takes another prism and holds it up to the rainbow. The rainbow goes through the second prism, but it isn’t colorful now---it’s white again. The prism has joined up the colors back into white light. Newton is the first person to understand that light is a combination ( 結(jié)合 ) of all the rainbow colors together.

1. In 1666 Isaac Newton was _____.

  A. a famous doctor                        B. an assistant in a lab

  C. a university teacher             D. a university student

2. What is the Chinese meaning of the words “ray of light”?

3. The prism can split up the white into ____.

  A. less than five different colors              B. seven different colors

  C. five different colors              D. more than seven different colors

4. Which of the following is RIGHT according to the sentences underlined（畫(huà)線）?

5. Which of the following is NOT according to the passage?

  A. Newton did his experiment on a sunny day.

  B. Newton continued his study at home during his holidays.

  C. If we put five different colors together, we get the white light.

When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have three-day passes (通行證) posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers.

??? It was Christmas Eve when I arrived, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments (裝飾物) shining against the green of a pine.

??? “Where did it come from？” I asked.

??? “I asked the Gates boy to cut it,” my mother said. “I wouldn’t have had one just for myself, but when you called--- oh, such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon…”

??? The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Krystal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little awkwardly (難看地) at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with pleasant smell of Christmas.

??? “It’s not like the ones you used to find,” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn’t know where to look. But I couldn’t be picky.”

??? “Don’t worry, ” I told her. “It’s perfect.”
