See for yourself!You Will Need:3 cups of warm waterMeasuring cup (量杯)Wide-mouthed jarSaltSpoon Raw (生的)potatoYou Will

38、Do:Pour 1.5 cups of warm water into the jar.Add 1/3 cup of salt.Stir(搅拌) until the salt is completely dissolved.Add another 1.5 cups of water. Pour it slowly over the back of the spoon into the jar so that the two liquid will not mix together. Gently place the potato into the jar. Do not drop it.Wha

39、t Will Happen:The potato will sink but only halfway!Why?Salt water is heavier than fresh water, so it will stay on the bottom.

42、. Carefully B. Quickly C. Secretly D. SilentlyD Due to the increasing number of violence acts produced in schools all over the world, more and more parents prefer to have their children educated at home rather than at school. This way they can ensure their safety and well-being, although teachers an

43、d school representatives are trying to improve the situation in schools by increasing the number of the persons in charge of the safety of the students. The main reason for violence acts are the films and cartoons that fill the childrens time. They want to do everything they watch on TV and never th

44、ink of the consequences, and they may hurt a classmate or a teacher. On the other hand, parents are not fully satisfied with the childrens results obtained in classes and they consider private classes would have better results. When a teacher has to watch 30 students in class he cant probably see wh

45、at each of them is doing, how he is writing, or if he understands the explanations. At home the teacher can explain in details everything the child doesnt understand as many times as he considers proper. And many times the child grows fond of the teacher at home, who becomes his best friend, and who

46、 helps him whenever he needs someone to talk to. However, the best solution would be a mixture between the education received at school and that at home, because school makes children communicate and socialize. Keeping a child at home for fear there might happen something bad to him only makes the c

47、hilds character weak and prevents him from knowing what real life is. Staying in a crystal ball only does harm to the child. All in all, schools have been created to help children, not to harm them, so its best to keep children in these special places, where they learn, laugh, have fun and make new

The Relationship between Teachers and Children 70What does “a crystal ball” in the passage refer to?A. A toy that can be used f

50、or entertainment. B. A safe and comfortable environment. C. A round object that is made of crystal. D. An obstacle that is hard to overcome. 71We can infer from the passage that _. A. violence TV programs have bad effects on childrens behaviorB. the teacher at home is more patient than the teacher a

51、t schoolC. children today are weak from lack of sense of right and wrongD. there are too many students in class for a teacher to teachEEvery year Chris Brogan posts his three words for a new year. many others and I have followed his lead for the past three or four years.
