Have you ever rubbed your hands together when they get cold? Why do we do that? We do that for friction. Friction happens when two things that aren’t very smooth (光滑的) rub together to make heat energy. The faster you rub two things together, the more friction you can make. Let’s discover friction!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
★Soap                ★Water           ★Your hands
WHAT TO DO:
★Make sure your hands are dry.
★Rub your hands together until you feel the heat of your hands.
★Now, use soap and water to get your hands very slippery (滑的).
★Try to make friction happen while your hands are slippery.
★Please write down what has happened.
LET’S TALK!
Friction is an energy that happens when two things rub together. When friction happens, it makes heat! When your hands are slippery, they won’t make very much friction and your hands won’t get so hot.
DID YOU KNOW?
★Friction happens when you stop your fast running bike.
★Ancient people made fires by rubbing two pieces of wood together. Friction happened though they didn’t know it. ___  __?         Friction is everywhere. Have you ever noticed situations where friction is happening? If not, ask your parents to take you out in a car. If it is not hot, touch the tires (轮胎) of the car before and after a short drive to see how much warmer they get from friction.
小题1:You’d better make your hands ______ to get heat when you rub them.
A. slippery                 B. dry                  C. wet    
小题2:The word “friction” in the first paragraph means “______”.
A. 摩擦                     B. 震动                 C. 膨胀 
小题3:We can know from the passage that it’s a ______ experiment.
A. physics                  B. chemistry                C. biology
小题4:The topic of the last column (栏目) is ______

Computers can injure you. Most other injuries happen suddenly. For example, if you fall off a bike and break your arms, it happens very quickly. But computer injuries happen slowly.
You probably know how to ride a bike safely. Now learn to use a computer safely.
Your eyes
Too much light can injure your eyes, so never sit too close to a computer screen. Your eyes should be at least 50cm from the screen. Remember to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest.
When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right. If it is behind you, the light will reflect(反射) on the screen. If the window is in front of you, the sun and the screen will both shine into your eyes.
Your hands and wrists(手腕)
Hand and wrist injuries can happen because the hands and wrists are moved in the same way hundreds of times. If you use a keyboard for a long time, follow these rules: ①Rest your wrists on something. ②Keep your elbows at the same height as the keyboard. ③Stop sometimes and exercise your hands, wrists and fingers in a different way.
Your back
Some people sit for many hours in front of a computer. If you sit in the wrong way, you can injure your back or your neck. So you should sit with your back straight. The top part of the screen should be in front of your eyes. Your forearms, wrists, hands and the upper part of your legs should all the parallel (平行) to the floor. If you are sitting for a long time, get up every 30 minutes and exercise your arms, legs and neck.
小题1:A computer screen may injure your eyes if __________.
A. you sit 60cm away           
B. your eyes are too close to it
C. the window is on your left or right
小题2:Hand and wrist injuries are caused when you __________.

As we know, it is not easy to build a satellite(卫星). Building a traditional satellite usually takes years. The costs can be as high as $250 million or more. Most members of the design teams have worked in the field for a long time. They hold advanced degrees(学历) in math, science, or engineering.

But things are changing. High costs, unusual educational needs and long start-up times are no longer an obstacle(障碍) to space exploration. The scientists have developed a new type of tiny, inexpensive earth-orbiting(轨道) satellite.
So far, college students have built and launched(发射) several cube-shaped satellites, or CubeSats. At least 15 more are ready to go. Those already in orbit take pictures, collect information and send it back to the earth, just as regular satellites do.
But you might not even have to wait until you get to college to start designing and building your own satellite. A new program called KatySat aims to get teenagers to take part in. When kids understand what satellites can do, the kinds of ideas they’ll come up with may be countless.
Education isn’t the only aim of CubeSats because these tiny, technology-filled boxes are  inexpensive to build and can be put together quickly, they’re perfect for testing new technologies that might one day be used on major space tasks.
The biggest challenge now is to find ways to bring the satellites back to the earth after a year or two. Or space junk could gradually increase because CubeSats become more popular.
Nowadays, college and high school students are getting a chance to learn what it takes to explore in space. Someday—perhaps a lot sooner that you imaging—you might get to design, build and launch your own satellite. If you do, you’re sure to have fun. And you might also get crazy about science for life.
小题1:Building a traditional satellite __________.
A. costs $250,000          
B. needs college students      
C. takes quite a long time
小题2:Compared with the traditional ones, the new satellites __________.
A. need long start-up times    
B. are cheap and small-sized   
C. collect more junk in orbit
小题3:The underlined word “countless” in Paragraph 4 probably means “__________”.
A. 无用的                   B. 无价值的             C. 无数的
小题4:According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. CubeSats could possibly cause pollution in space.
B. Scientists designed CubeSats for kids to play with.
C. Students can’t design satellites without college education.
小题5:The purpose of the author writing the passage is __________.
A. to tell us that satellite technology can also be learned by kids
B. to show that high technology brings a big change in kids’ life
C. to tell us that kids must study hard to learn satellite technology

In the most southern part of our planet, there’s a place that’s covered with snow and ice all year round. But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky. This place is Antarctica (南极洲): the coldest, windiest and harshest (恶劣的) place on the Earth.

As the world’s least-known place, Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world. In 1983, China joined the Antarctic Treaty (《南极条约》). The treaty made Antarctica a peaceful place for member countries to do scientific research. During 30 years, China has sent many scientists to Antarctica. They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.
Antarctica is a place with fantastic views. However, life there is very hard. Food is one of the biggest problems. Frozen (速冻) food which can be heated easily is people’s daily food. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, scientists often eat dried or canned vegetables.
Sleep is also troublesome. In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create “night”.
Working in Antarctica is dangerous, especially when meeting gale-force (七级以上的) winds. Sometimes the wind is even stronger than a typhoon. It can easily blow people away. So there are ropes that connect buildings of some research stations. People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds.
What’s more, communicating with others is difficult. Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the only tools to communicate. If people want to say hello to friends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.
Although it is challenging to work in Antarctica, scientists’ passion to learn about this mysterious land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land.
小题1:From Paragraph 1, we learn that the Antarctica ______.
A.is covered with snow and ice
B.rains heavily from time to time
C.has little wind most of the time
D.has sunshine during every night
小题2:Scientists from China go to Antarctica to _____.
A.find out ways to control water pollution
B.research climate change and marine biology
C.grow plants and vegetables in special condition
D.stop the hunters from killing the marine biology
小题3:In order to sleep well in Antarctica, the scientists have to _____.
A.wear more clothes to keep warm
B.cover the windows with black cloth
C.connect research stations with ropes
D.eat more fried and canned vegetables
小题4:We can replace (替换) the underlined word passion in the last paragraph with       .
A.strong love
B.full preparation
C.pleasant introduction
D.amazing imagination
小题5:The passage is mainly about       .
A.view of the Antarctica
B.exploring the Antarctica
C.how to survive in the Antarctica
D.climate changes of the Antarctica
