He had rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no fortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncles exciting tales.He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” cried out my uncle, with a loud laugh.When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick cloud of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had fallen down, falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncles stories; otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed.That night we all slept on the floor in the setting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which at any moment fell down on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either!21. Why did the uncle seldom spend much time in the country cottage?A. Because the roof of the cottage was falling. B. Because the cottage was in bad condition.C. Because he was used to living abroad. D. Because there was no furniture in it.22. The underlined word “bear” probably means _.A. balanceB. multiplyC. confirmD. tolerate23.

The writer felt glad that he had stayed up late because _.A. he did not miss the exciting stories B. he spent more time with his uncleC. he had a lucky escape D. he saw a strange sight25. Which of the following can best describe the writers uncle?A. adventurous and good at storytelling B. humorous and good at making jokesC. caring and generous with money D. considerate and sensitive to dangerBIt is natural that children are curious about the world around themFor example, they want to know how their hearts beatThey want to know why the ocean water tastes saltyAs children grow up, they bee curious about different kinds of thingsWhen they are babies, they are interested in the parts of their bodies and in the smiles of their mothersThey bee interested in the physical world around them：the plants, the animals, the skyLater, they bee interested in the things that people have made：wheels, bicycles, carsAnd when they are adults, their curiosity continuesSometimes this curiosity leads to a career(生涯、职业)in scienceScientists spend their lives trying to find out about the worldThose who work with the earth sciences study the earth, the oceans, and the skiesOther scientists who study living things work with the biological sciencesA third group of scientists study the physical sciences, egphysics, chemistryThese scientists have already discovered a lot about our worldFor example, they tell us why your heart beats fast when you runThey say that when you are quiet, your heart normally beats sixty-five or seventy-five times a minuteYour heart is a pump(泵)that pumps blood to all parts of the bodyThe blood carries oxygen and nutritionWhen you run, your muscles work very hard and use the nutrition that the blood carries to themThe muscles need oxygen, tooSo your brain sends a signal to the heartThe signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygenThen the heart beats fast and sends blood quickly to the musclesIt may beat 90 to 140 times a minuteOf course, scientists cannot answer all of our questionsIf we ask, “Why does the ocean water taste salty” scientists will say that the salt es from rocksWhen a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracksRain falls into cracksThe rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the riversThe rivers carry the salt into the oceanBut then we ask, “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year” Scientists are not sure about the answer to this questionWe know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious26.
