Air is a colorless, tasteless and invisible（看不见的）gas that is around us. An “empty” drinking glass and an “empty” room, in fact, are not really empty. Each is filled with air. When the glass is filled with water, the water pushes the air out of the glass.
Air, as a gas, has no definite shape, but because it is matter, it takes up space and it has weight. It is easy to prove that air is something that takes up space. Stuff a piece of dry cloth（布）into the bottom of a glass so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside down. Push the upside down glass, holding straight up and down, into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken out of the water, the cloth is still dry. The air inside the glass shows that it takes up space and keeps the water from coming in.Since air is matter, it has ________.
| A．room , and weight as well | B．both room and shape |
| C．either room or weight | D．neither shape nor weight |
The word “Stuff” means ______ in Chinese.
| A．撕 | B．盖 | C．取掉 | D．塞 |
The writer tells that the experiment（实验）___________.
| A．is carried out in the space | B．must be done in the lab |
| C．is made in the room | D．can only be done in the open air |
Jake thought today was going to be very bad. To start with, it was raining, and the rainy days made him sad. 今天是他的生日。 But when he got up in the morning, no one was home, and his mother and his father didn’t leave him any gifts.
He walked to school with his best friend, Mike. Mike didn’t say anything to him, either.
这使他不高兴。 Jake said “Happy birthday” to him last week, but he didn’t remember his birthday! In class, the teacher asked him for his homework, but as he was so sad when he left home, he forgot to bring it with him. This made him annoyed(烦恼的) with himself.
But things became better in the afternoon. Mike invited him for supper. Jake was so happy to hear Mike say “Happy birthday” to him on the way to the restaurant.
He was very glad to see his parents and all his friends were there. Jake had a wonderful surprised birthday supper. That made him very happy.

Boys and girls, welcome to our radio club! Our club is very important in our school now. It was started by Tom ten years ago. When he found it was too quiet during the lunch time, Tom advised the headmaster(校长) to set up a radio club, and he agreed. What great advice! Thanks to Tom, we have had many different programmes to listen to at lunch time from then on. There is Music Time for us to hear popular music. And you can hear your favourite songs if you tell us ahead of time. We can give advice on problems, too. For example, how we prepare for exams and how we make friends. And we can also send your best wishes to your friends or teachers on special days. Do you have a good voice? Can you come here to work on time? If the two answers are “Yes”, join us now, please!

Today sending text messages(短信) through mobile phone(手机) is a part of our lives. According to a survey(调查), a third of the U.S. children send more than 100 text messages a day. Sending text messages is becoming more and more popular among young people in China, too. Children prefer text messages to communicate(交流) with friends no matter(不论) where they are, even under the noses of parents and teachers. It seems that some children are “addicted(上瘾)” to sending text messages. In fact, sending too many text messages is bad for their lives, health and study. However, it isn’t all bad. It helps to improve our lives in some ways. Today many children greet(问候) each other on holidays by sending text messages instead of writing paper cards. During the last Spring Festival, more than 15 billion(十亿) text messages were sent in China. “Sending text messages helps save my pocket money,” said Wang Cheng, a friend of mine, “and it saves paper, too.” Many parents send their kids text messages instead of giving orders by mouth.
