The surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all aroud you and that it proves down upon you.Air pressure is a wonderful force.When you swim underwater, you can feel water push down your body.The air all around you does the same.However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this .The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere.This layer surrounds the Earth , extending to about five kilometers above the Earth’s surface.
The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home.But make sure that you are supervised , because you will need to use matches.Now for the experiment!
What you need
·A hard-boiled egg without the shell
·A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg
·A piece of paper
·A match
Metheod
1) Check that the egg will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.
2) Tear the paper into strips and put the strips into the bottle.
3) Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.
4) Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.
Result
Astonishingly,the egg will be sucked into the bottle.Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment.But be careful when you handle matches.
Why it happened
As the paper burns,it needs oxyen and uses up the oxygen(air) in the bottle.The egg acts as a seal in the neck of the bottle,so no more air can get inside .This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle.The air pressure must equalize,so more air from outside must enter the bottle.The outside air pressure against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle!The proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on it.
When you do the experiment, why need you a person beside you?
A.You couldn’t place the egg on the bottle by yourself. |
B.The egg needs to be shelled. |
C.You need to use matches. |
D.The bottle can’t sit firmly on the desk. |
The purpose of doing this experiment is to prove ______.
A.air pressure is a wonderful force |
B.water can push down your body when you swim underwater |
C.the air pressure is not equalized around us |
D.the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphere |
How did the egg put into the bottle?
A.The oxygen inside the bottle suckde the egg in. |
B.It became solt without the shell. |
C.The neck of the bottle was wide enough. |
D.The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle. |
The passage is ______.
A.an experiment report | B.a scientific story |
C.a research report | D.an interesting novel |

It's great fun to explore (探索) new places—it feels like an adventure, even when you know you're not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.
● Do the map reading if you're being driven somewhere. It'll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you' re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you'll have to move to the back seat.
● Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass (指南针), a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies (应急现金). Tell someone where you're going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.
● See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it's not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.
Sitting beside the driver, you should ________.
A.direct the driver when necessary |
B.look ahead to see where there's a turn |
C.move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable |
D.keep looking at the map to find a place to go to |
Why do you need to tell someone your exploration plan before setting out?
A.To get information when in danger. |
B.To be saved in case of an accident. |
C.To share the fun with him/her in exploration. |
D.To tell him/her what's going on with the group members. |
Orienteering activities can ________.
A.make people work fast | B.help people stay healthy |

Everyone’s at it, even my neighbors. I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn’t done an eBay deal. So, I decided to try my hand at online auction(网上拍卖).
Buying for Beginners
Sign up on www. eBay. co. uk. Most items (e.g. tables, computers and books) ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with “Buy It Now” and have a fixed price. You can buy these right away.
If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids (出价) for you. The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days and when they finish, you get an email telling you whether you have won the item.
How to Pay
Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a check or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card.
Selling Made Simple
If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my friends’ advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starting on a Thursday. This way buyers had two weekends to bid.
The big Things in Life
It’s easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collectively sent by deliverymen. Check the ways of delivery before you bid.

Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.
The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.
Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don't make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.
Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossing and do not take any chances when crossing the road. My next point is about litter(throwing away waste material in a public place). It is an offence to drop litter in the street.
When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin. Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age.
I'd like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact your local police station, who will be pleased to help you.
Now, are there any questions?
