Three kids have been learning chemistry for only a few months. But they have already begun to challenge (挑战) a world famous scientist!
Li Weichi, Huang Runling, and Xiao Yan are from Zhongshan Huaqiao Middle School in Guangdong. They have just found a red cabbage that could be a new kind of acid-base indicator (酸碱指示剂). They want it to take the place of litmus (石蕊) paper.
"We’ve learnt to think of and ask questions about life by ourselves," said Li, "We work well with each other."
British scientist Robert Boyle discovered the use of litmus paper over 300 years ago. Now it is used widely in experiments all over the world.
But when the kids did some experiments in class last winter, they saw that the litmus paper didn’t turn very blue with base matter. It’s hard to get a clear result.
Will there be a better indicator than litmus paper? The three kids decided to try and find out!
How? They went to collect over 40 plants in parks, gardens and markets. Then they ground (研磨) leaves, flowers and stems (茎) to get the pigments (色素) from them.
The kids mixed pigments with acid and base. They spent months watching carefully to see which paper showed the best colour change. They decided it was the litmus paper!
"It’s our first scientific journey, Huang said, "But it makes me want to try harder."

We sometimes call the lion “the king of the jungle (丛林)” because it is stronger and more dangerous than other animals. It can run faster than many animals and it can hunt (捕猎) the best. It is the highest animal in the   21  food chain (食物链).[
In the sea, the shark is one of the animals at the  22  of the food chain. It can swim faster than most other sea animals, and it can use its big teeth to eat them.
What is at the top of the world’s food chain?  23  are! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the   24  We could not run faster than cheetahs (猎豹),  so we  25  cars and now we can move the fastest. We could not  26  better than lions, so we invented guns (枪). Now we can hunt the best.
People’s inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous, too. For example, people invented  27 , and now they make the air and rivers dirty. This can make   28  changes. Dirty rivers kill fish.  Then bears cannot eat the fish and the bears die. If we kill one part of the food chain,   29  also die. Remember that we are a part of the food chain, so we are in danger too! If we protect animals, we are protecting   30 ! We should and we could do something for the world!

Recent research from the Pew Internet Project suggests that 90% of Americans aged from 12 to 17 use the Internet, and 51% of those teens use social networks. However, there are many possible problems with social networking sites and the teenagers who use them.

Apart from the social advantages, social networking sites can be used to record school research, develop artistic talents and experiment with other forms of subject creation. They provide a way to communicate with others who share the same interests and to get helpful advice on ongoing projects.
Along with these advantages come some dangers. For example, most social networking sites are open to all, especially MySpace, which is the most popular social network among teens in America. It means that they could be put in unpleasant and frightening situations.
A greater danger is that teens may become objects of the people with secret purposes. The secrecy of some social networking sites makes it easy for dangerous people to find young teens and invite them into dangerous conversations. It’s easy for them to pretend as teens and draw children into dangerous real-world communication as well. Then further hurt might be on its way.
Another danger is identity stealing, which can happen when teens share too much information about their names, dates of birth and locations.
Therefore, it’s very important to make sure teens are safe when they use social networks.
Many of the same rules that work for online chat work for these sites:
※Don’t use your real name.
※ Don’t give out personal information to people you don’t know. A last name and a town
are enough for a bad guy to find where you are.
※ Don’t believe that people are who they say to be.
※ Immediately end any communication that makes you uncomfortable and report it to a
parent.
Only if you are sure of your safety, can you enjoy the fun brought by social networking. Besides, trying to deal with all problems on your own can lead to terrible results. Remember, asking your parents or school officials for help doesn’t mean you are unable to do anything but wiser than many others.                                             
小题1:How many dangers of using social networks are mentioned in the passage?
A.2.B.3.C.4.D.5.
小题2:The writer takes MySpace as an example to show that ________.
A.students could be put into unreal situations on the Internet
B.teenagers are facing unknown dangers on the social networks
C.Internet provides more social websites to American teenagers
D.social networks are very popular among teenagers in America
小题3:We can infer from the passage that ________.
A.the dangers are similar when chatting online and surfing social networks
B.more than half American teenagers aged from 12 to 17 use social networks
C.teens who ask for help are wiser when meeting problems on social networks

People often say that the earth is like our mother. She gives life to all the living things on the earth and provides us with air, food, water and other essential things we need for living.
Once she was beautiful and rich, but now she becomes dirtier and dirtier, poorer and poorer. It is due to what we have done to her. Please have a good look at her: polluted rivers and lakes, growing deserts, the destruction of the forests and wild life, and the depletion (消耗,用尽) of the ozone layer (臭氧层)...
Can she bear to see her children putting the waste here and there? Can she bear to see her children cutting down the trees and destroying the grassland, to see the acid rain destroying everything? Can we bear to see our mother suffering (受苦) so much? Isn’t it time for us to ask ourselves whether this is the way to treat our mother?
Floods, droughts, acid rain..., these are the punishments (惩罚) from nature. Everyone should know that there is only one earth. If we go on treating her like this, it won’t be fit for us to live in any longer. It’s time for us to love her, take good care of her and cure her. We should save the earth so as to save ourselves.
小题1: What does the earth look like now?

D.It is dirtier and dirtier, poorer and poorer.

“It’s impolite that some students’ parents read their children’s diaries without permission!” one student said angrily.
“Some of our teachers are so serious that we can’t make friends with them at all,” another student said sadly.
