  It is easier to float in the ocean than it is to float in a swimming pool. Do you know why?

  Ocean water is full of salt,and salt water can hold up more weight than fresh water. See for yourself!You will need:

. 3 cups of warm water

. Measuring cup (跫杯)

. Wide-mouthed jar

. Sail

. Spoon

-Raw (生的) potato 

You will do:

1. Pour 1. 5 cups of warm water into the jar.

2. Add 1/3 cup of salt.

3. Stir (搅拌) until the salt is completely dissolved.

4. Add another 1. 5 cups of water. Pour it slowly over the back of the spoon into the jar so that the two liquids will not mix together. 

5. Gently place the potato into the jar. Donot drop it. What will happen: The potato will sink,but only halfway!

Why: 

  Salt water is heavier than fresh water,so it will stay on the bottom. The fresh water will remain on top.

  The potato is heavier than the fresh water,but it is lighter than the salt water. That is why the potato will sink only halfway down.

1. In the experiment,what should you do right after you pour the water over the spoon?

   A. Add ihe salt to the water.

   B. Stir the salt into the water.

   C. Place the potato in the jar.

   D. Pour warm water into the jar.

2. In Step 4 of the experiment,why do you pour the water over the spoon slowly?

   A. It is easier to see what you are doing.

   B. It pushes the fresh water to the bottom.

   C. It will keep the water from coming out.

   D. It will keep the liquids from mixing together.

3. In which step of the experiment do you add the salt?

   A. Step 1.  B. Step 2. C. Step 3.  D. Step 4.

4. What does the underlined word Gently" mean?

   A. Carefully.

   B. Quickly.

   C. Secretly.

   D. Silently.

5. What is the most important detail about salt water in this text?

   A. You can make it yourself.

   B. You can find it in the ocean.

   C. It is heavier than fresh water.

   D. A potato will sink in it.

本文讲了一个小实验:如何能够让土豆在盐水中漂浮。

1. C细节理解题。第四步提到了将水顺着勺子背面倒入罐子中,接着应是第五步的操作,即把土豆放人罐子中。

2. D细节理解题。由实验第四步"…so that the two liquids will not mix together."可知,慢慢地把水倒人罐中是为了防止两种液体混合在一起。

3. B细节理解题。"Add 1/3 cup of salt."是第二步。故答案为B项。

4. A词义猜测题。由"Do not drop it."可推知,要小心地放土豆,才能保证土豆掉不下来。carefully与gently意思相近。

5. C推理判断题。该实验通过土豆可以漂浮在盐水中说明,盐水的浓度比淡水的浓度大。

  There are many interesting science experiments out there for young kids. You can surprise your friends and teachers with them. All you have to do is to put a little effort into it and you should have no problem coming up with an in?teresting science experiment. One such experiment is to show your friends and teachers that you can make mothballs (棒脑丸) dance!If you want to do it,first,be sure that you have got all the necessary sci?ence kits for your science experiment.

  What you need for this experiment is a glass filled half full with water. Add a little bit of vinegar to your glass of water,about 1/3 or 1/4 of a cup (60 ml) ,and one teaspoon (10 ml) of baking soda,and then carefully stir the mix?ture. Drop a few mothballs into the glass and have your audience watch. As long as the surfaces of the mothballs become fairly rough,they should begin to bounce up and down in the glass.

  You can also do a similar experiment with raisins (葡萄干) and clear pop,such as Sprite. In this experiment,all you have to do is to fill a glass with Sprite and drop a few raisins into it. The raisins should begin to bounce up and down in the glass of Sprite. You can also replace the raisins with mothballs and you should get the same effect in the Sprite. This project works because the irregular surfaces of the mothballs and the raisins hold some C02 bubbles (气泡) ,causing them to bounce up and down in a dancing motion.

   A. explain why some science experiments are easy

   B. encourage people to spend more time on science

2. What is the most probable name of the experiment?

   A. Producing mothballs.

   B. Dancing mothballs.

   C. Changing mothballs.

   D. Swimming mothballs.

3. Which of the following things are needed in the experiment? 

a. baking soda b. water c. mothballs

4. The underlined word "pop" in Paragraph 4  probably refers to a     .

   A. mothball

   B. kind of vinegar

   C. drink with bubbles

   D. special kind of raisin

5. From the last paragraph we can know .

   A. why Sprite has some C02 bubbles

   B. what people usually use Sprite for

   C. what scientists usually do with raisins

   D. why the mothballs bounce up and down
