“Everything happens for the best.” Whenever I faced disappointment, my mother would say this to me.
After I graduated form college in 1932, I decided to find a job in radio as a sports announcer(广播员). I went to Chicago and knocked at the door of every station. But unluckily, I was refused every time.
At one station, a kind lady told me that big stations wouldn’t hire(雇佣) a person without any experience and suggested that I try my luck at smaller stations. Following her advice, I went back to Dixon, where I had grown up. There were no such jobs in Dixon, and my father said a newly-opened store wanted a local athlete to work for it. I wanted this job, but I was refused again.
“Everything happens for the best,” Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, I felt so frustrated. “How can I become a sports announcer if I can’t get a job in a radio station?” I asked aloud.
While I was waiting for the elevator, I heard someone calling. It was MacArthur. “What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he asked me to have a try. He was pleased with my performance, and he offered me a chance to work there.
On my way home, I thought of my mother’s words: “If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn’t have happened if without the failure before.”

If you go into the forest with friends, stay with them. If you don’t, you may get lost. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends, but let them find you instead(相反). You can help them find you by(通过)staying in one place. There is another way to help your friends or other people to find you. You can shout or whistle(吹口哨)three times. Stop for a while. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal(信号)given three times is a help.

If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house with branches(树枝). Make yourself a bed with leaves and grass.
When you need some water, you have to leave your little branch house to look for it. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop(扔下)them as you walk in order to(为了,以便于)go back again easily. When you are lost, the most important thing to do is stay in one place.

A recent survey of 2000 parents in Britain showed that they are often afraid of science questions asked by their curious children only because they have no idea what the answer is. Here is a list of some simple questions that you can ask your parents to see if they know the answers.
Q: Why is the sky blue?
A: You probably know white sunlight is made up of seven colors. While it moves in a straight line when going through space, it starts to divide as it hits “raised area” in the atmosphere. The ones with longest wavelengths pass through easily. The blue , however , can be taken in by the gas molecules (分子) because it has a shorter wavelength , which in turn scatters (使分散) it in different directions. That’s why when you look up at the sky, it appears to be blue.
Q:Why does the moon sometimes appear during the daytime?
A: The simple answer to that is because just like any other object it is being lit by the sun. As long as it is around 45 degrees or even 90 degrees off the sun, it will receive light and be able to be seen. The only time it is not able to be seen during its 28-day orbit (轨道) around the earth is when it is right between the earth and the sun. That’s because its back , which is not lit by the sun, is facing us.
Q: Where do birds/ honeybees go in winter?
A: While the bird part is quite easy, since a lot of them get together and travel, the honeybee part is likely to puzzle your parents. It turns out that these busy insects stop being that active when the temperature drops below 50°F. Instead ,they get together in the lower central area of the hive (蜂巢)and form a ball around their queen. This helps keep both warm enough to survive the cold winter months.
【小题1】The sky looks blue mainly because the color blue in the sunlight_______.

A.has the longest wavelength among all the colors
B.cannot be taken in by the gas molecules
C.doesn’t hit “raised area” in the atmosphere
D.cannot pass through space successfully
【小题2】How long can’t the moon be seen during the daytime in a month?
A.2 B.28 C.30 D.31
【小题3】What do honeybees choose to do when the temperature drops below 50°F?
A.They choose to be active in the wild.
B.They choose to keep themselves warm.
C.They choose to travel to a warm place.
D.They choose to get together in the upper central area of the hive.
【小题4】What is NOT explained in the passage?
A.Why is the sky blue?
B.Why is the moon able to be seen during the daytime?
C.Why do birds travel in winter?
D.Where do honeybees go in winter?
