26、ry to buy books that are both interesting and right for them to understand. Books which are either too easy or too difficult are not good for kids to keep their reading habits.

We all understood her meaning. After this talk, no one tried to make fun of Derek or run away from him. We a

41、ccepted his outbursts in class and he became one of our friends. Having a class with Derek has taught me to have an open mind to those who are different from us.

50、of the world, people build temporary(暂时的)hotels made of snow and blocks(大块)of ice? These are known as ice hotels. Unlike usual hotels, all the rooms in the ice hotels are made of ice. In some ice hotels, even the glasses for drinks are made of ice blocks. So they only serve cold drinks. Also, hot fo

51、od is not served in the ice hotels, but guests can eat hot food at places nearby. To keep warm, guests sleep in comfortable sleeping bags on ice blocks that are covered by mattresses(床垫)and reindeer skins(驯鹿皮). There are some places in the ice hotels that are heated, such as the bathrooms. This is b

52、ecause, even though it is not as cold in the ice hotels as it is outdoors(在户外), indoor temperatures are still very low.

56、ferent places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plan. So airlines(航空公司)offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree? To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They wo

57、uld like to do so because they dont want to lose customers. However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude(海拔)we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even befor

58、e a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure(气压) reduces one third of the sensibility(感觉)of our taste buds(味蕾). So our taste buds become senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses dont know it. All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They als

59、o help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy(辛辣的)food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless. Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write do

60、wn their feelings about food taste. Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought.

The volunteers dont know about food taste. B.The volunteers dont understand them. C.They cant find enough

63、 volunteers. D.They cant deal with the special environment successfully.( )65.What is the best title of the passage? A.Taste of Airplane FoodB.Airplane Travel C.Scientific Research on NosesD.The Change in Air PressureJ Zhang Ming, a college student from Shandong, created a 9-page“WeChat guide”.With

64、drawings and simple words, the step-by-step guide explains how to send messages, take pictures and make video calls. Zhang made the guide for his parents. “My parents are getting old. They need an easy way to learn how to use new technology.” He said. Zhangs experience is common nowadays. Worldwide,

65、 40 percent of parents learn about new technologies, including computers, mobile Internet and social media, from their children, according to a study from the International Communication Association in 2014. Parents used to teach their kids about almost everything. Now for the first time, the teache

66、rs become the students, and the students turn into the teachers. The change of roles comes from the rapid development of society and technology, says Zhou Xiaohong, a sociology professor from Nanjing University. Zhou said the Internet and other forms of media give children ways to get information be

67、sides from asking older generations(长辈). Therefore, in the age of information, its possible that children know more than their parents do. According to the China Internet Network Information Center(CINIC), 56.7 percent of Internet users and 67.2 percent of social media users in China are under the a

68、ge of 30. The younger generation usually acts as a link between their family and the new environment. But when they teach their parents new technologies, parents can connect to the new world by themselves, noted Zhou. In Zhang Mings eyes, teaching his parents about WeChat brings him closer to his pa

Why did it keep getting smaller, then larger? Why didnt it fall from the sky? Through the ages, people have tried to come up with answers. To the

76、had a name, such as Moon of Black Cherries,Moon of Green Corn, and Moon of Severe Cold. Though people of the past found the moon was helpful, mysterious and interesting, they didnt know much about it. They only knew what they could see with their own eyes. Then almost 400 years age, an Italian scien

77、tist named Galileo made a new telescope(望远镜) that was more powerful than any telescope made before. Galileo decided to take his new implement to look at the moon. He discovered that the moon was not the smooth, shiny ball. The brighter places were mostly hills and mountains. The flat areas were lowe
