Long time ago, there lived two brothers. The elder was called Simon and the younger Victor. (46)_________________, and always took care of one another. Every day they worked from morning until night, getting as much grain(谷物) as possible from their fields.

One late autumn evening, after their work in the field was done, Simon said to his wife, “ Victor got married last month.(47) _________________. I think I will put a bag of rice in his barn(谷仓).” “ Oh, that’s a good idea, ” said his wife. “But please don’t tell him, ” said Simon, “If he knows I put the rice there, he will never take it.”

So, late that night Simon took a bag of rice to Victor’s barn. The next day, when he looked at his own barn,(48)_____________.“I took a bag of rice to Victor’s house last night, but I still have the same number of bags in my barn. How did that happen?”

Simon decided to take another bag of rice to his brother’s barn that night. But the next morning,(49)_______________!“ This is very strange,” he thought.

That night he tried again. He carried a large bag of rice on his shoulder, and walked down the road to his younger brother’s house. In the bright moonlight, he could see another person coming down the road. He was carrying something on his shoulder too.

“Young Brother!” Simon cried, “What are you doing?”

“I was worried about you, Older Brother,” said Victor, (50)_________________. I thought you needed more rice.” The two brothers quickly realized that they had been taking rice to each other. They laughed about what they had done. “ It is good to have a brother like you,” they both said. And they lived happily ever after.

The average (平均的) American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous (荒谬的) sayings have appeared:

*TV makes kids stupid. Many children watch more educational programs when they are pre-schoolers (学龄前儿童). When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.

*TV makes kids violent (暴力的). The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive (好斗的). But a study of over 5000 children also finds that some positive(正面的) programs make children kinder The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age.

*Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight. An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking (吃零食). A widespread habit for kids, and junk food advertisements.

*TV helps kids get to sleep. The opposite is true. The more television children watch, the more likely they are to have irregular(无规律的) sleep and nap (小睡) patterns(模式). Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution(解决方法).

The way to see water's temperature

Here's how to tell whether a glass contains(容纳)hot water or cold water-without ever touching it!

You'll need

•2 drinking glasses that are exactly alike

•Ice cubes(块)

•Adult helper

•Bathtub(浴缸)or shower

•Pencil and paper

1.Fill one glass with cold tap water and cool it with ice cubes. Don't use a lot of ice; just cool it a little.

2.Fill the other glass with very hot water.

3.Pour both glasses out into the tub at the same tirme and speed.

Repeat this process(过程)a fewtimes,and watch closely each time.

4.Ask your helper to fill the glasses again and not tell you which is which.

When you see the water splash in the tub.guess which one is the hot water.

5. Repeat several times. Keep score on your paper.

You should be able to guess correctly more than half the time.

Cold water is more dense(稠密的)than hot water.so a cup of cold water is just a little bit heavier than a cup of hot water.

When you pour hot water onto a hard surface,it splashes(溅起)around more than the cold water because it's less dense.
