The two boys， Tom and Huck， were very frightened because they worried about being found by Injun Joe and his friend． Through the hole in the floor， the two boys upstairs saw the men eat and talk． Then the men were tired and fell asleep． Tom and Huck lay there for a very long time． Finally， the two men woke up and lifted up a stone in the ground and took out some money they had stolen． Then Injun Joe lifted up another stone and found a box．
"What's this？" Injun Joe asked．
The two men pulled the box out of the ground and opened it． The two boys， Tom and Huck， could see there was much money in it． They were very excited．
"There's thousands of dollars in the box!" said his friend．
"It must have been left here by Murrel，" said Injun Joe．
"What will we do with it？"
"We'll take it to my hideout（隐匿处）．"
"Number one or number two？"
"Number two， under the cross．"
Then Injun Joe and his friend saw some tools in the corner and decided to go upstairs． But the stairs broke when Injun Joe stood on them! So the two men left the house and went towards the river． Tom went home as quickly as he could．

Looking at art should be like walking in the countryside．You may not know exactly where you are，what bird is making that strange sound， or what the hill ahead of you is called，but that's part of the fun of it．You don't need to know these things to feel the beauty of nature．
Of course， if you do know your birds， trees and local history， a walk can be more attractive． Yet such knowledge comes slowly． It is picked up through experience．A true knowledge of nature cannot just be given to you through an app on your phone．Imagine pointing your phone at the hill and getting plenty of information on screen． Would that enrich your dreamy walk or ruin（毁灭） it？
Braggarts enjoy an app that allows them to show off their knowledge， for example， about baroque（巴洛克风格的） paintings． In fact， apps in museums try to provide on﹣screen art history at once just to encourage people to read their phones instead of looking at paintings．
It is a mistaken idea that you need to be spoon﹣fed（灌输） amazing facts about a work of art in order to appreciate（欣赏） it． Our first experience of a work of art should be raw（自然状态的），unguided，and a bit puzzling， like following a path in the woods． Later， you might choose to do some personal research into the work． It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it． Yet it is best done when you're away from the art itself， so that even when you return， the work still feels fresh．
Anyone who thinks knowing some dates and details makes you better understand a work of art is wrong． We all need to put aside our screens and our supposed knowledge when we look at art． Let the paintings flow in； let your intuitions（直觉） fly off． Art is a journey in the wilderness or it is nothing at all．
（1）What does the writer mainly want to say？
A． Art is best with the help of apps．
B． Art is best when hidden in mystery．
C． Art is nothing compared with nature．
D． Art is nothing when details and facts are known．
（2）The underlined word "braggarts" refers to（指） ．
A． people who like showing off
B． people who like baroque paintings
C． those who are good at appreciating art
D． those who are good at painting with phones
（3）What's the main idea of Paragraph 4？
A． How to appreciate a work of art．
B． How to personal research into a work of art．
C． How to keep your feelings about a work of art fresh．
D． How to be spoon﹣fed amazing facts about a work of art．
（4）what can we infer（推断） from the passage？
A． Because of apps， art will be ruined in the future．
B． A good piece of art is usually made about nature．
C． Research work and intuitions can both help understand art．
D． Museums are not supposed to allow the use of mobile phones．
"What's wrong， Carina？" Collin asked． "Homesick again？"
His sister nodded．
"Yeah， me too．" Collin sighed（叹息）．
Their family had moved to the new place nearly four months ago． The new place was housed inside a huge transparent dome （透明的圆屋顶）． It still didn't feel like home．
"I miss my friends，" Carina said sadly． "And green grass and swimming， and everything． I even miss the sound of rain on the roof（屋顶）．"
"Worst of all，" Carina continued， "my birthday is in two days， and I don't think Mom and Dad are planning anything special． They're too busy．"
"She's probably right，" thought Collin． Life here was very busy for scientists like their parents． He doubted if they had time to plan a party． And how could they anyway？ Things such as balloons and birthday candles didn't exist here． They didn't even have enough materials to make a cake．
"Don't worry．" Collin put an arm around Carina's shoulder．
Collin walked toward the agricultural center， where his mom worked． He found her taking notes on some tall tube﹣like plants．
"What are those？" he asked．
"Bamboo plants，" said Mom． "They're strong and grow fast． They make good building materials．"
"May I have a piece？"
"Sure．" Mom handed one to him and made a note on her notebook．
The next day， Collin made tiny holes into the piece of bamboo and put small nails（钉子）into each hole． He poured a handful of pebbles（鹅卵石） inside and covered the open ends．
Collin held the bamboo piece carefully as he hurried home． He hid it behind his back and opened the front door． To his surprise， Mom and Dad were home early from work． Mom was carrying something that looked like a cake．
He looked closer and realized Mom had made a cake with dried apples and cinnamon（肉桂皮）sugar．A real treat， on the Moon．
Collin handed his sister the bamboo rod． "Happy birthday!"
"What is it？" Carina asked， looking at it curiously．
"A rain stick，" said Collin． "Whenever you turn it over， the pebbles fall around the nails and it sounds like rain．"
Carina turned the stick， and the room was filled with a sound like rain drumming on a roof．
"It's Moon Rain!" she said． "It makes me feel like I'm home．" She smiled at Collin and turned the rain stick over again．

Influenza， or flu（流感）， is a type of virus． It spreads from one person to another quickly． When someone who has the flu coughs or sneezes， little droplets from their lungs （肺） spread out into the air．Anyone nearby can get sick． Even a person who touches something with the virus and then touches his or her mouth， eyes， or nose， can become infected（感染）．
The outbreak of the 1918 influenza infected about 500 million people worldwide． It killed from 20 million to 50 million people． It was first seen in Europe， the United States， and parts of Asia．It then spread quickly around the world． Many people who became sick were young， healthy adults．At the time， no treatments worked in the prevention of the spread of the killer flu． People were ordered to wear masks． Schools， theaters and other public places were closed．
When the first wave（波＞in the spring of 1918 hit， it didn't seem serious． People who were infected felt the usual flu symptoms（症状）， which are chills， fevers， and feeling tired． Those who got sick generally got better after several days． Not many died． However， a second， highly contagious（传染的）wave of influenza appeared in the fall of that same year． Victims died shortly after they were infected ﹣ within hours or days． Their skin turned blue and their lungs were filled with liquid（液体），making it very difficult to breathe．
By the summer of 1919， the flu pandemic（大流行病） came to an end． Sick people had either got well or died． Almost 90 years later， in 2008， researchers announced they'd discovered why the 1918 flu was so deadly． The flu virus inflamed （使…恶化）the lungs， causing them to fill with liquid．
