Christensen illustrated by Michael Palan Have you ever watered a garden and watched the water disappear(消失) into the soil? This fun experiment shows how plants take water from the ground to grow. Ask an adult to help you. You Will Need: ? Medium-sized glass ? Water ? Red food coloring ? Spoon ? 1 celery stalk with leaves (一根带叶的芹菜) You Will Do: 1. Fill the glass halfway with water. 2. Stir(搅拌) in enough food coloring to make the water dark red. 3. Ask Mom or Dad to cut 1 inch off the bottom of the celery stalk. Place the stalk in the water and let it stand overnight. What Will Happen? The leaves will turn red, as well as the tiny tubes running up through the stalk. Break the stalk in half, and you will see red dots in each piece. Why? As a plant grows, its roots act like straws(麦秆状吸管), sucking water up into the stem or stalk. Tiny tubes(管) inside the stalk carry water farther up into the leaves. (By coloring the water red, this is easier to see.) The red dots show a cross-section of the tiny tubes through which the water traveled.(190) k 1 51. What is this article mostly about?

There were stains (污点) all over her uniform and runs in her stockings. Everyone laughed at her and called her Fozzy – I didn't even know her real name. But on Thanksgiving night, when only Fozzy and I manned(在岗位上) the wait stations, I had poured out my troubles to her before I even knew it. Thankfully, Fozzy, whom I had never talked much with, lent a friendly ear to me. I even told her I finally saved some money for college schooling but then my old car refused to start and I was told I had to pay $500 to fix it. Unexpected, as we clocked out, she said: "I've been trying to sell my old car for weeks. It's in good shape. I'm only asking $300 for it. Maybe the money you'd saved would cover the tuition." I leaped at(欣然接受)the offer. Later, Fozzy's smile filled the corridor (走廊) as she opened her door welcoming me into her apartment. I sat on a worn couch and looked around her modest one-bedroom home. It was clean, but a waitress' wage would only stretch(伸展,延伸) so far… "Oh, I'm sorry," I said, noticing that the table had been set for two." I didn't realize you were expecting company." Fozzy smiled sadly. "Oh, no. That is just habit. Ever since my husband died six years ago, I can't stand to see a table set for one," she said. "Listen," I said, pulling out my tips that day. "Why don't we order some take-out, so your nice table here doesn't go to waste? My treat. It's the least I can do after you helped me out." We enjoyed a lovely meal together that night. But there was another surprise in store for me. Later, on the front seat of my new used car I found a letter and some money. "Thank you for the first Thanksgiving I've celebrated in six years," said the note. "This isn't much, just the tips I made tonight. Maybe you can buy one of your textbooks. Thanks again, Mavis." Actually, that name was on Fozzy's nametag the whole time – If I'd only looked: Mavis. (395) 54. Which of the following statements about Fozzy is TRUE according to the article? A.

A. the author didn't like the way her co-workers treated Fozzy B. Fozzy knew the author would visit her that day C. Fozzy went out of her way to help the author D. Fozzy meant to celebrate her first Thanksgiving since her husband died 57. The article is mainly about ______.

The answer is clear – if you communicate by the use of cell phones and text messages, then yes, you are go in for an activity that has swept teenagers all over the world. According to the Nielsen Company, your American friends sent and received an average of 2,272 text messages a month, almost 80 messages a day. When your thumb types quickly on your mobile, have you ever thought about why you are obsessed(缠住,迷住)with it? Michael Hausauer, a psychotherapist (心理医生) in California, US, told the New York Times that teenagers had a "great interest in knowing what's going on in the lives of their friends". For that reason, he said, the rapid rise in texting has possibility for great advantage and great harm. "Texting can be a huge tool," he told the paper. "It offers friendship and the promise of connectedness. At the same time, texting can make a youngster feel overly exposed(无掩蔽的;暴露的)." Text message may be an effective communication's channel among teenagers, but according to Sherry Turkle, a psychologist who has studied teenage texting habits in Boston for three years, it might be causing a change in the way teenagers develop. For one thing, adolescence(青春期) is the period when teenagers break free from their parents to grow into adults. "But if technology makes staying in touch very, very easy, that's harder to do." said Turkle. "Now you have teenagers who are texting their mothers 15 times a day, asking things like, 'Should I get the red shoes or the blue shoes?' " She also believes a mobile that vibrates (振动) every couple of minutes makes it difficult to get any peace and quiet. And physically, thumbs are the most obvious victims (受害者). Too much texting could lead to short-term or lasting hurt to the thumbs.(330) 65. Do teenagers often communicate by text messages? 66. Why are the teenagers crazy about texting massages with their friends? 67. According Sherry Turkle, what might be the result of teenage texting habits? 68. How many disadvantages of texting messages between the teenagers? 69.
