13．Most schools in America do not have the latest equipment in laboratories．It is just too costly．But the eastern state of Maryland and8 non-profit group found a way to make such equipment available during the school year．They put it on a bus!
    The 13-meter-long Maryland BioLab is a mobile classroom filled with equipment that lets students explore many kinds of science．It travels around the state visiting schools．It has everything from biology to forensic science（法医学）．The mobile lab has been bringing bioscience education to schools around Maryland for more than 10 years，
"It is really nice to get the students in here with hands-on activities．They get really excited and want to be engaged．"said Ms．Mangus，who is in charge of the program．She said that many students finished their experiments and left the bus excited about the possibility of becoming a scientist．
    At the end of each class，Ms．Mangus talked to the students about how she became a scientist．"If we have enough time，we like to take five，ten minutes and talk about us，ourselves．I tell them how I got into science，maybe where I went to school，what I did，and the different kinds of things we could do．"
    Brian Gaines，the chief executive officer of the foundation supporting the BioLab program，said the organization's goal was to help create the next generation of scientists．"We use this program to talk about careers in science-not only science，but science，technology，engineering and math．Students on the bus get real-life experience they do not get in a classroom．"

点评 1、要想做好科普英语阅读理解题，同学们就要注意平时多读科普知识类文章，学习科普知识，积累常见的科普词汇，从根本上提高科普英语的阅读能力．
2、要熟悉科普类文章的结构特点．科普类文章一般由标题（Head line），导语（Introduction），背景（Back ground），主体（Main body）和结尾（End）五部分构成．标题是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括，但根据历年的高考情况来看，这类阅读理解材料一般不给标题，而要同学们选择标题．导语一般位于整篇文章的首段．背景交待一个事实的起因．主体则对导语概括的事实进行详细叙述，这一部分命题往往最多，因此，阅读时，同学们要把这部分作为重点．结尾往往也是中心思想的概括，并与导语相呼应，命题者常在此要设计一道推理判断题．　　
3、在进行推理判断时，同学们一定要以阅读材料所提供的科学事实为依据，同时所得出的结论还应符合基本的科普常识．

18．Cultural Center Adds Classes for Young Adults
The Allendale Cultural Center has expanded its arts program to include classes for young adults．Director Leah Martin announced Monday that beginning in September，three new classes will be offered to the Allendale community．The course titles will be Yoga for Teenagers； Hip Hop Dance：Learning the Latest Moves； and Creative Journaling for Teens：Discovering the Writer Within．The latter course will not be held at the Allendale Cultural Center but instead will meet at the Allendale Public Library．
Staff member Tricia Cousins will teach the yoga and hip hop classes．Ms．Cousins is an accomplished choreographer （舞蹈教师） as well as an experienced dance educator．She has an MA in dance education from Teachers College，Columbia University，where she wrote a thesis on the pedagogical （教学法的） effectiveness of dance education．The journaling class will be taught by Betsy Milford．Ms．Milford is the head librarian at the Allendale Public Library as well as a columnist for the professional journal Library Focus．
The courses are part of the Allendale Cultural Center's Project Teen，which was initiated by Leah Martin，Director of the Cultural Center．According to Martin，this project is a direct result of her efforts to make the center a more essential part of the Allendale community．Over the last several years，the number of people who have visited the cultural center for classes or events has steadily declined．Project Teen is primarily funded by a generous grant from The McGee Arts Foundation，an organization devoted to bringing arts programs to young adults．Martin oversees the Project Teen board，which consists of five board members．Two board members are students at Allendale's Brookdale High School； the other three are adults with backgrounds in education and the arts．
The creative journaling class will be cosponsored by Brookdale High School，and students who complete the class will be given the opportunity to publish one of their journal entries in Pulse，Brookdale's student literary magazine．Students who complete the hip hop class will be eligible to participate in the Allendale Review，an annual concert sponsored by the cultural center that features local actors，musicians，and dancers．All classes are scheduled to begin immediately following school dismissal，and transportation will be available from Brookdale High School to the Allendale Cultural Center and the Allendale Public Library．For more information about Project Teen，contact the cultural center's programming office at 988-0099 or drop by the office after June 1 to pick up a fall course catalog．The office is located on the third floor of the Allendale Town Hall．

5．Nowadays，the Internet，with its ability to connect people throughout the world，is changing  the way people learn languages．There is still no way to avoid the hard work through vocabulary lists and grammar rules，but the books，tapes and even CDs are being replaced by email，video chat and social networks．
     Livemocha，a Seattle company，has created a website devoted to helping people learn more than 38 languages by exchanging messages over the Internet and then correcting each other's messages．The lessons，whether they are flashcards，quizzes，audio recordings or written and spoken essays，are delivered through the Intemet．
    Michael Schutzler，Livemocha's chief executive（主管），says the website's advantage is the ability to practicel with a real person．"The great irony（讽刺）is that even if you have learned a foreign language in the classroom for years，you don't have confidefice to go into a restaurant and have a conversation with a foreigner，"he said．The casual connection with real people throughout the world，however brief，are not just fun and surprising but show more about how the language is really used．
    Livemocha is now experimenting with a variety of ways that resemble the games on other social websites to motivate people．The flashcard exercises，for instance，are scored，and the totals earned by studying and teaching appear on the users'front page．
    Besides，each person can set up a profile（简历）which includes a short description of his age，location and what language he would like to learn．Therefore，if you want to study one language，you will easily find many people who are fluent in it．Andl an email or two is all it takes to find a study partner．

   A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day．Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends，play games or check e-mail．But next time you get on the Web，try exploring the world instead．"With the Internet，you can go back 11，000 years in time，or go 11，000 kilometers across the planet，"said Russell，Web search expert of Google．"The whole scope of history and the world is open to you．"
   There is a wealth of information to be found online．For example，if your family is going on vacation somewhere，do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car．"What's the background of the place； what's the history？"says Russell．"I like to tell my kids，‘Whenever you have a question，whenever you have a doubt，search it out．'"

3．Many people take it for granted that black is a color of bad things while white should always mean something good．This may be because，in their opinion，black is related to darkness and white to purity．However，that is not always the case．Did you know that the same one color may mean something differently in different places of the world？
In the English-speak ing world，black is the color of mourning-people wear black at the funeral．Red is concerned with danger or bloodshed（伤亡）．Yellow is the word for fear．If you are afraid，you are yellow．Yet none of these sayings is true outside the English-speaking world．In China and Korea white is the color of mourning．In Russia，China and some other countries，red stands for beauty，life and excellence．In Italy and Germany，you are yellow with anger，not with fear．
Even within the English-speaking area，it is not difficult to find color contradictions（矛盾）．A redcap in the United States is a porter in a railway station．In Britain，however，a redcap is a military policeman．Both names are logical，because both men wear red caps．Similarly，the British term for an American white-collar worker is sometimes called a black-coated worker．
One does not have to cross an area to find color differences．Would you rather be red-blooded or a blue-blooded？If we go back to the origin，we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest．The expression"blueblood"comes from Spain，where some noble families proudly told the world that they had"blue blood"．Actually they meant that they had no Moorish or Jewish blood．But then why"blue"blood？Because they were fair-skinned，and it is only natural that their blood vessels （血管）stood out appearing blue．
56．Yellow is concerned with anger inD
A．India                        B．Britain
C．China                        D．Italy
