A girl complained to her father about her hard life．She didn't know what she had to do and wanted to give up．She felt tired of fighting and fighting．One problem had been finished but another came over．
Her father，a cook，took her into the kitchen．He poured water into three pans and boiled(煮沸) them．After boiling，in the first pan was put some carrots，the second was put some eggs and the last was put with coffee．
The girl waited impatiently (不耐煩的)，confused by what her father did．About 20 minutes later，her father took out the carrots and put them in a bowl．He took the eggs and put them in a bowl．After that the coffee was poured into a cup．“My sweet heart，what do you see？” he asked．
“Carrots，eggs and coffee，” she replied．
Her father told her to close her eyes and asked her to touch the carrots．She did so and felt that the carrots were soft．After that he asked her to take the eggs and break them．After peeling (剝開) them，she got the eggs，cooked and hard．The last，the father let her smell the coffee． She asked，“What did you do this for，F(xiàn)ather？” He explained that each had the same unlucky experience—the boiling water，but each had a different result． The strong and hard carrots had become soft and weak．The fragile eggs became hard after being cooked． The coffee was very special，they could change water．“Who are you？” asked her father．“When bad luck knocks at your door，what is your decision? Are you carrots，eggs or coffee？”

Antifreeze is a liquid(液體) that is added to water to keep it from freezing． When water freezes and turns to ice，it expands(膨脹)．The force of water expanding is so great that it will break the hardest metal．Water is used in car engines(發(fā)動機) to keep them cool while they run，and if this water is allowed to freeze in winter it can break the iron block of the engine．That is why antifreeze is necessary．
Water freezes at 0℃；the usual kind of antifreeze will not freeze until the temperature is－40℃．A mixture(混合物) of five parts of water and four parts of antifreeze will prevent freezing at－18℃；four parts of water and five parts of antifreeze reduce this to －22℃．
Alcohol is a kind of good antifreeze，but when the air is running it becomes hot and the alcohol boils away，so it must be changed very often．Most people use antifreeze that does not boil away when the engine is running．There are several chemicals that do this．One of the most popular is called ethylene glycol．
【小題1】people use ________ to keep car engines cool．

A．a(chǎn)ntifreeze

B．water

C．a(chǎn)lcohol

D．ethylene glycol.

【小題2】The usual kind of antifreeze freezes at ________．

A．0℃

B．－18℃

C．－22℃

D．－40℃

【小題3】We use antifreeze in order to ________．

A．keep alcohol in water

B．stop ice from becoming water

C．make the freezing point of water lower

D．raise the freezing point of water

【小題4】Besides alcohol，________ is another kind of popular antifreeze．

If the rose can be said to be a special flower, then the apple can be said to be a special fruit．It is very important in American culture．American stories speak of Johnny Appleseed, who went throughout America collecting apple seeds and planting apple trees．He had a great love for nature and went through fields and farms adding richness and beauty to the country．
One of the first sayings taught to school children is, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away．” This short saying encourages children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy． If someone always says good words to a person, people will call him an “apple polisher”．This, however, is not a good name．If someone is very dear to us, we say that he or she is the “apple of our eye”．
Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple, even though the Bible (圣經(jīng)) never says so．The apple, therefore, is a deep part of the language and stories of America．
An apple is also delicious．Apples can be cooked in many ways, used as a dessert, and made into sweet juice．
In many parts of the country during the harvest season, a popular activity is to go into an apple garden to pick apples．Washington, D．C．a(chǎn)nd New York are both famous for their apples．
Finally, when it’s time to take a vacation to American cities, one can always visit New York, which is “the biggest apple” of all the American cities．
【小題1】During these years, iphones are popular with the people all over the world. Which country is his starter--Steven Paul Jobs from?

A．America

B．England

C．Russia

D．Japan

【小題2】Why was Johnny Appleseed so famous?

A．He had a great love of nature．

閱讀下文，完成下面題目。
人造太陽
何 平
①前不久，一條新聞引起全世界關(guān)注：中國科學(xué)院等離子體物理研究所研制的“人造太陽”調(diào)試成功，年內(nèi)即可試發(fā)電。
②“人造太陽”？難道真要在地球上造一個太陽？當(dāng)然不是！“人造太陽”是指科學(xué)家利用太陽核反應(yīng)原理，為人類制造一種能提供能源的機器——人工可控核聚變裝置，科學(xué)家稱它為“全超導(dǎo)托克馬克試驗裝置”。
③太陽的光和熱，來源于氫的兩個同胞兄弟——氘和氚（物理學(xué)叫氫的同位素）在聚變成一個氦原子的過程中釋放出的能量�！叭嗽焯�陽”就是模仿這一過程。
④氫彈是人們最早制造出的“人造太陽”。但氫彈的聚變過程是不可控的，它瞬間釋放出的巨大能量足以毀滅一切。而“全超導(dǎo)托克馬克試驗裝置”卻能夠穩(wěn)定控制核聚變，使聚變產(chǎn)生的能量緩緩輸出，轉(zhuǎn)化為人們可持續(xù)使用的電能。
⑤核聚變反應(yīng)，首要條件是高溫高壓。太陽中心的溫度高達1500萬攝氏度，壓強達到3000多億個大氣壓。在這樣的高溫高壓下，太陽的聚變反應(yīng)非常容易。但在地球上可不容易，因為用任何一種材料制作的容器都無法耐受這樣的高溫高壓。
⑥怎么辦？科學(xué)家們想到了用磁場做容器。從氫彈爆炸至今，科學(xué)界用了60年的努力，目前已成功地在磁場容器中將溫度提高到4億至5億攝氏度，然后投入氘氚產(chǎn)生聚變反應(yīng)。但由于很難把這種高溫長時間維持下去，所以全世界30多個國家上百個實驗裝置的聚變放電時間都很短！少則幾秒，長的也不過數(shù)百秒。我國從1965年研究“人造太陽”開始，如今已能使放電時間持續(xù)千秒以上。
⑦所以，科學(xué)家說，建設(shè)核聚變電站投入民用，至少要再等上50年時間。但等待是值得的！現(xiàn)在地球上的石油、煤炭等化石能源至多可用200年時間，其中石油不足50年。即使目前核裂變電站使用的鈾燃料，全世界也只能再開采60年。用這些材料做能源還有個致命弱點——環(huán)境污染！
⑧相反，氘和氚卻是清潔能源，如空氣中平時就有氘和氚。所以不用擔(dān)心聚變反應(yīng)會產(chǎn)生廢氣、廢渣和放射性污染等問題。有人擔(dān)心電站爆炸，但科學(xué)家說，聚變在磁場中進行，維持溫度已很不易，只要稍微馬虎，溫度就會降下來，聚變就停止了，因此爆炸的可能性是零。
⑨氘和氚是取之不盡用之不竭的能源。世界海洋中大概蘊藏了40萬億噸氘。如果全部用于聚變反應(yīng)，釋放的能量足夠人類使用幾百億年，這比太陽的壽命還要長了。
