For many people.leisure time is an opportunity to get outdoors,have some fun and meet interesting people.Add two pieces of advanced 21st century technology—global positioning system (GPS) devices and the Internet—to get "geocaching".
The word geocaching comes from “geo” (earth) and “cache” (hidden storage).Geocachers log onto a website to find information about the location of a cache—usually a waterproof plastic box containing small items such as toys and CDs—along with a notebook where “finders” can enter comments and learn about the cache “owner”,the person who created and hid the cache.Finders may take any of the items in the cache but are expected to replace them with something of similar value.They then visit the website again and write a message to the owner.
Geocaching became possible on May 1,2000,when a satellite system developed by the U.S.Department of Defense was made public.Using an inexpensive GPS device,anyone on earth can send a signal to the satellites and receive information about their position.This is basically a high-tech version of orienteering,the traditional pastime which uses maps and compasses instead of GPS to determine one’s location.
Geocachers are a very considerate group.Owners carefully choose a cache’s location to give finders an enjoyable experience,such as a beautiful view or a good campsite.They also consider the environmental impact of their cache since it could result in an increased number of visitors to an area.As for the content of the caches,owners and finders must only use items that are suitable for the whole family,as caches are found by geocachers of all ages.

A. an outdoor leisure activity
B. a new type of technology
C. a game used to teach geography
D. a program to protect environment
2.How can finders learn about the cache owners?
A. By meeting them. B. By going to a website.
C. From the notebook. D. From the satellite.
3.Which of the following is NOT used in geocaching?

C. A plastic container. D. The Internet.
4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Most geocachers are adults.
B. Any item can be placed in the caches.
C. The caches should be put in a remote place.

(2016·浙江)A scientist working at her lab bench and a six-month-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common. After all, the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world, and the baby is, well, just playing…right? Perhaps, but some developmental psychologists(心理学家) have argued that this "play" is more like a scientific investigation than one might think.
Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge, it falls to the ground — and, in the process, it brings out important evidence about how physical objects interact (相互作用): bowls of rice do not float in mid-air, but require support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowing this basic fact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it. Instead, babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact. Though their ranges and tools differ, the baby’s investigation and the scientist’s experiment appear to share the same aim(to learn about the natural world), overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world), and logic (are my observations what I expected?).
Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way—that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar means. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has, for example, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesn’t like Dove chocolate.
Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws light on how children learn, but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort—the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world — is simply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution (进化) provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. The same cognitive (认知的) systems that make young children feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As some psychologists put it," It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children."

Do you know that a fast reader can get the ideas better than a slow reader can? Of course, you save time by reading fast, but this is not the main reason for fast reading. The main reason is that you understand better what you are reading when you read fast.
As your eyes move along the line of print, they make fixations (固定) or pauses. It is important that you see several words at a fixation. It is also important that your eyes leave a group of words quickly and move on to another group. The number of letters or words that you see at a fixation is called your eye span. Pay more attention to improving your rate of reading. With practice you can learn to read faster than you usually read.
The way in which you read always depends on what you are reading and for what purpose. You should know the different ways of reading so that you can apply whatever method that is necessary. Here are four ways of reading:
(1) Skimming is an important kind of reading. This method can be used when you wish to review something that you have forgotten. You can skim to get the main points.
(2) Rapid first reading and then rereading certain parts carefully is important. You may use this type of reading to study a science lesson or a history lesson.
(3) You need to do careful reading and rereading sometimes. This type of reading is necessary for making an intensive (精深的) study of your school subjects, solving Maths problems or reading directions.
(4) Rapid reading is used when reading stories for enjoyment. you may also do rapid reading when reviewing material that you already know well.
