Water can provide enough energy for a power station. Find out how it works in this activity. All you need is your hands and a few simple materials:
★ a large plastic bottle ★ a pencil ★ a straw (吸管) ★ a knife
★ scissors ★ a piece of string ★ a drawing pin (图钉) ★ tape
Step 1. Cut the top off a large plastic bottle. Use a drawing pin and a pencil to make six holes around the base.
Step 2. Cut a straw into six pieces about 2cm long. Push them into the holes and secure (固定) them with tape.
Step 3. Make three holes at the top of the bottle and tie a piece of string through each hole. Then tie the strings to a fourth piece of string (the string should be about the same length).
Step 4. Over the sink or outdoors, pour some water into the bottle. As water runs out of the straws, the bottle will spin around.
What’s going on? The energy from the water running out of the holes makes the bottle spin around. Falling water and its energy are used on a much larger scale at hydroelectric power stations(水电站). The water turns huge wheels, called turbines. These drive machines called generators that produce electricity.
【1】The main purpose of the text is to .
A.describe a power station B.introduce water power

26、Books Bring Success
People growing with more books are more likely to be successful. |
According to German novelist Heinrich Mann, a house without books is like a room without windows. Mann simply stated the value of books, but some researchers have found evidence that people with books in their homes really do gain a window on the world.
A new study in the journal Social Science Research, published in October, suggests that people who grow up with more books are more likely to have educational advantages, and to achieve more in life, than people who grow up without them.
In the study, over 160,000 adults from 31 countries and regions were asked about the number of books there were in their homes when they were 16 years old. They were then given tests in literacy (读写能力), numeracy (计算能力) and information communication technology.
The research shows that the number of books for each household varies greatly from country to country. For example, the number of books is 27 in Turkey, 143 in the UK and 218 in Estonia. But “the total effects of home library size on literacy are large everywhere”.
The researchers found that people who had only lower levels of secondary education but had a large number of books at home got a similar score as university graduates who grew up with only a few books.
The Guardian newspaper commented that “bookish adolescence makes for a good deal of educational advantage.”
“Adolescent exposure to books can compensate for shortcomings not only in adult literacy but also numeracy: its impacts are equal to additional years of education,” Sikora told Science Alert.
Apart from the educational benefits, growing up with more books also plays an important role in adult success.
Through analyzing their personal information, researchers found that people surrounded by books in adolescence are on average more successful in adulthood than those who had only few books at a younger age.
“Early exposure to books in the parental home matters because books are an basic part of routines and practices that enrich lifelong cognitive competencies (认知能力)”, Sikora told Science Alert. These competencies are important to future development.
Without doubt, the fact that we are moving toward a digital era could weaken the importance of printed books. For now, however, “they still seem to maintain quite a large positive benefit, which shows no sign of abating (减弱)”, researchers wrote in the paper.
【1】What’s the study mainly about?
A. Reading habits of different countries.
B. The benefits of growing up with more books.
C. How reading books brings educational advantages.
D. The impacts of books on people of different ages.
【2】How many books do an average British family own, according to the study?
A. 27. B. 32. C. 143. D. 218.
【3】The underlined phrase “compensate for” probably means ______.
A. make up for B. result in C. prepare for D. draw attention to
【4】According to the study, people who read more books in adolescence are likely to ______.
a. have better literacy
b. achieve more in adulthood
c. have better communication skills

27、 When I was young, my father often took me on short trips. On the way home from these trips, Dad often stopped at the Dairy Queen and bought me a 10-cent ice cream.
One day, we were on our way home and I was hoping Dad would do the same. And he did.
"Would you like an ice cream today?" asked Dad.
"That sounds great, Dad!"
But then he said, "It sounds good to me too, son. Would you like to treat me today?"
Twenty cents! I could afford it. But when it was my money, an ice cream just wasn't a good use of it.
Then I said those awful words to him, "Well, in that case, I guess I'll pass. "
My father just said, "Okay, son. "
But as we turned to go home, I realized how wrong I was. Why didn't I take it as a good chance to give something back to my father? Why didn't I think that he had bought 50 ice creams, and I had never bought him one? But all I could think was"20 cents"!
I felt awful for my ingratitude. Dad had done so much for me. Shouldn't I do something in return? Love is a two-way street. One must put into what he or she has taken out.
Dad and I went on another trip the next week, and as we passed the corner, I said, "Dad, would you like an ice cream today? My treat. "
