On a hot day, it can be hard to know what to do to feel good.

Playing in water is one way to feel cooler. Taking a cool bath or a shower can feel really good on a hot day.

It is also important for us to drink water. If you feel thirsty, you should drink water immediately. On hot days, you can lose about 16 glasses of water in one day, so many doctors advise that you should try to drink at least that much every day. Mixing a little fruit juice into your water is a fun way to help you drink plenty of water.

The food we eat also makes a difference in how we feel in the heat. Cold food, such as ice cream and drinks with some ice, can cool down our bodies. However, eating spicy(辛辣的) food makes our bodies even warmer.

The clothes we wear can help us feel cooler as well. Light-coloured, light-weight clothes feel cooler in the sun than dark, heavy clothing. Loose(寬松的）clothes are more comfortable in the heat than tight(緊身的）ones.

Even though it is not healthy to run around during the hottest time of the day, that doesn’t mean a hot day is not fun! You can read stories in your room. You can also paint or draw without moving your body too much. These are just some of many cool things to do on a hot day.

1.How much water do we need in one hot day?

A. Only 16 glasses of water.

B. Less than 16 glasses of water.

C. At least 16 glasses of water.

D. As much as possible.

2.What can’t you do on a hot day if you want to feel good?

A. Read a book. B. Eat ice cream.

C. Swim in the pool. D. Play volleyball on the beach.

3.What kind of clothes can help us feel cooler on a hot day?

A. Loose clothes. B. Dark clothes.

C. Tight clothes. D. Heavy clothes.

4.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. A hot day is fun.

B. Entertainments on hot days.

C. We don’t know what to do on a hot day.

D. There are many things to do to feel good on a hot day.

Fire was discovered many thousands of years ago. The first time humans saw fire was probably when a tree was destroyed by lightning(閃電). Humans soon learned how to make fire. They probably made the first fire by rubbing (摩擦)two sticks together.

Fire was very important to humans. They needed to keep warm at night. They used fire to cook food. They used fire to keep enemies and wild animals away. In some parts of the world fire was used to send messages. The Indians in America, for example, used fire to make smoke as a message. In some other countries people lit fires to warn their friends of danger.

Fire was also used to give light. Before the invention of the oil lamp(燈), humans burned sticks to get light.

One man even used fire to tell the time. He invented a candle clock. He made a candle that took exactly twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal(相等的) parts. He lit the candle and could tell the time by counting the number of parts left of the burning candle. But the candle clock did not always work well. If there was a wind blowing on the candle, it burned too quickly.

Delia was a young pianist. Her husband, Joe, was a young artist.

Each of them was taking lessons: Joe with a famous art teacher, and Delia with a great pianist from Germany. Their teachers were the very best, so lessons were expensive, more than they could really afford, but…when you love your art, nothing is too much.

But soon the money began to run out, and they couldn’t afford the lessons any more.

Then one day Delia came back home and told Joe that she had met a man whose daughter, Sally, wanted to learn the piano, and he was going to pay her $ 50 an hour.

“Delia,” Joe said, “I’ll be much happier if you keep up your lessons,” Delia said it didn’t matter. “When I’ve had some money, I’ll continue.” But Joe also decided to stop his lessons, to draw pictures and sell them.

A few days later, Joe came home and proudly took $ 200 from his pocket. “I met a man from Vermont,” he said, “who bought one of my pictures. And he wants to buy more!”

_________________.They didn’t have to worry any more about money.

Then, one day, Joe came home and saw that Delia’s hand was wrapped in a bandage(繃帶). He asked her what had happened. “Oh,” said Delia. “My student, Sally, asked me to make some coffee for her. I dropped the coffee and burned my hand. Sally went straight to the drugstore and got this bandage for me. ”

“Delia, what have you been doing the last two weeks?” Joe asked. She tried not to tell him, but the tears came. “Oh Joe, I couldn’t get any students, so I worked as a waitress in a restaurant. Today, I burned my hand with hot water. So I can’t work any more. But we’ll still have money from the man in Vermont, won’t we?”

Joe looked at her. “There’s no man in Vermont, ” he said. “I’ve been working in a drugstore, and today someone came in to buy bandages for a woman who’s burned her hand. So when I saw you, well, I guessed.”

They both laughed.
