student keeper. Now,five years later, things have changed-I have passed my exams and I am a full animal
keeper.
The money is not good. I only get£9,000 a year. You have to be outside in rain and snow, which is
hard work, and you get very dirty. But this doesn't matter to me because animals are the most important
thing in my life! There are a hundred monkeys and fifty deer in my part of the zoo and I give them
their food and clean their houses. I also need to watch them carefully to be sure that they are all well. In
fact rhinos (犀牛) are my favourite animals and so last year I went to Africa (非洲) with a workmate for
a month to study them.
The zoo is open every day and I work five different days each week. I live in a small flat (公寓) twenty
minutes away and I get up at ten to seven and start work at eight. The first thing I do when I get home at
quarter past five is to take a shower!
B. nine years ago
C. five years ago
B. She doesn't mind it.
C. She likes the snow.
B. deer
C. rhinos
B. only five days a week
C. on different days every week
B. five fifteen
C. ten to seven
Three kids have been learning chemistry for only a few months. But they have already begun to challenge (挑战) a world famous scientist!
Li Weichi, Huang Runling, and Xiao Yan are from Zhongshan Huaqiao Middle School in Guangdong. They have just found a red cabbage that could be a new kind of acid-base indicator (酸碱指示剂). They want it to take the place of litmus (石蕊) paper.
"We've learnt to think of and ask questions about life by ourselves," said Li, "We work well with each other."
British scientist Robert Boyle discovered the use of litmus paper over 300 years ago. Now it is used widely in experiments all over the world.
But when the kids did some experiments in class last winter, they saw that the litmus paper didn’t turn very blue with base matter. It's hard to get a clear result.
Will there be a better indicator than litmus paper? The three kids decided to try and find out!
How? They went to collect over 40 plants in parks, gardens and markets. Then they ground (研磨) leaves, flowers and stems (茎) to get the pigments (色素) from them.
The kids mixed pigments with acid and base. They spent months watching carefully to see which paper showed the best colour change. They decided it was the litmus paper!
"It's our first scientific journey, Huang said, "But it makes me want to try harder."
1. Whom did the three kids want to challenge?
A. Their chemistry teacher. B. Their headmaster.
C. Robert Boyle D. Thomas Edison
2. From the text, a red cabbage is a kind of ____.
A. plant B. animal C. paper D. liquid
3.What is widely used as the acid-base indicator now?
A. red cabbage B. litmus paper
C. any plant D. any flower
4.The story mainly tells us ____.
A. how to make litmus paper B. about the three kids' spirit
C. scientists were wrong D. the kids are heroes

The Internet, mobile phones and Ipads are part of our lives now. Technology is greatly affecting all ways of our lives, from the ways we work to the ways we play. And it even causes a number of social problems such as cloning humans.
We have had lots of technology and it has changed our lives a lot. There is no doubt that humans will continue to use more and more technology. Here are some examples of modern technology that will change our ideas and will affect our lives greatly.
Global positioning system (GPS) (全球定位系统)
It’s a system that uses radio signals from satellites to show exact(精确地) information. It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions. It’s made up of three parts: satellites, control equipments (设备) on land and receivers.
Space Technology
Russian and American scientists have worked together for the international Space Station (ISS) for a long time. They hope the ISS will provide a long-lasting lab. Such a lab will bring humans limitless(无限的) advantages. It’s even hoped that one day space technology will take humans to their new houses in space.
Underwater Robot
Hercules is a kind of underwater robot with some high technology equipments. It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago.
The world is changing so quickly that it’s hard for us to catch up with all the new inventions because they seem to come out every month. It’s important for us to learn about new technology and the role that it plays in our lives. So we should be willing to accept modern technology, or we will fall behind the times.
