One day, when she was walking in a forest, she saw a dragonfly (蜻蜓 ) caught in a thorn bush (多刺灌木丛 ). No matter how hard it tried to free itself, it failed every time. The little girl was very sorry for it. She ran to set it free at once. But to her great surprise, the dragonfly didnt fly away, it changed into a beautiful fairy (仙女 ) instead. The beautiful fairy said to the girl, “I must die without your help. Because of your kindness, you can get whatever you want from me.” You may not believe that the girl wanted neither gold nor houses. She told the fairy that she wanted to be happy most. The fairy said something in a low voice in her ear. Then she disappeared. From then on, the little girl was happy every day. She was kind to everyone around her. Other people asked her the secret of her happiness.

They are interested in looking into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy； theres no need for a lot of expensive lab tools. You only have to share your childrens curiosity (好奇 ). Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-old students to talk about working as a scientist. The children asked me questions about schooling and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another quietly. Finally I said, “Now that were finished, do you have questions of your own about science?” After a long pause, a boy put up his hand,“ Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚂蚱 ) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?” This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours. Secondly, give them time to think. Studies have shown that, after asking a question, adults usually wait only one second or less for an answer, do not leave time for children to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children can give more logical (合逻辑的 ), complete and creative answers. Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child telling his idea in a science discussion, dont jump in with “Thats right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can mean that discussion is over. Instead, you can say “Thats interesting” or “Id never thought of it that way before” or come up with more questions or ideas. Never push a child to “Think”. Children are always thinking, without your telling them to. Whats more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target (目标 ) for your disagreement. Lastly, show； dont tell. Real-life feeling of nature is far more exciting than any lesson children learn from a book. Let children look at their fingertips (指尖 ) through a magnifying lens (放大镜 ), and theyll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. 55. When children are in a science discussion, adults should _. A. speak highly of the children B. praise the children immediately C. end up their discussion with “Thats interesting” D. leave time for them to come up with better ideas 56. What does the word “this” refer to in the 6th paragraph? A. Pushing children to think. B. Finding the answer you want. C. Talking about science. D. Telling children to discuss. 57. These are the ways for adults to share childrens curiosity EXCEPT _. A. telling them encouraging stories instead of boring facts B. offering them chances to see things by themselves C. being patient when the children answer questions D. persuading them to ask the questions of their own D Although cliff diving may bring great excitement, its a very dangerous sport that people should be careful about. It is completely wrong to think that the diver is cushioned (缓冲 ) by the water belowthis could not be further from the truth. When jumping from a cliff that is over 70 feet high, a diver hits the water at over 46 mph ( miles per hour). Such high speeds make the point of contact feel like a wall, so the diving skills are very important. Professional divers are trained and well-prepared to make dives. However, non-professionals should never dive because a divers body position (体位 ) at the time of contacting water is very important to his or her safety. Because of the great danger, divers should always seriously think about their skills before trying any moves. Although there is no truly safe way to jump off a cliff, non-professional divers are encouraged to pencil dive. To do a pencil dive, the jumpers leap their feet first off the cliff, keep arms at their sides with legs together and pointing downward. The diver should keep the body tight and vertical (垂直的 ). This is safer because it makes the point of contact smaller when the diver enters the water and puts less stress (压力 ) on the body. Wearing a wet suit while diving will result in less pain. So it is wise for new divers to wear wet suits. But professional divers suggest staying away from water shoes. Although wearing shoes might seem like a good idea, they actually increase the force of impact (冲击力 ) because they increase the surface area of the diver at impact. The increased force of impact puts stress on a divers body and can lead to broken bones. Without a doubt, diving without shoes is the safer way to go. Besides the height, speed, water depth and body position, it is also important for divers to make wise decisions when they are thinking about diving. Cliff diving tests both a persons physical and mental (心理的 ) skills, so it is never a good idea to jump with a sudden idea. A person needs to be of sound mind and in good health to even think about a dive. One should never try a dive if he has drunk wine. Whats more, a person should never make someone who is not feeling 100% confident dive. 58. What does “this could not be further from the truth” mean? A. Theres no doubt that this idea is definitely true. B. This idea is thought to be completely wrong. C. It depends on the real situation on the spot. D. Nobody knows whether this idea is true or not. 59. Why dont professional divers suggest wearing shoes? Because wearing shoes can _. A. put more weight on to the diver B. cause the diver to feel uncomfortable C. make the point of contact bigger D. certainly lead to broken bones 60. According to the passage, a good cliff diver should be _. A. well-prepared and skillful B. professional and strong C. creative and smart D. confident and brave 七、阅读短文还原句子（共 8 分，每小题 2 分） 阅读短文，从下列所给的五个句子中，选四句还原到短文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。 A.
