Antifreeze is a liquid(液体) that is added to water to keep it from freezing. When water freezes and turns to ice,it expands(膨胀).The force of water expanding is so great that it will break the hardest metal.Water is used in car engines(发动机) to keep them cool while they run,and if this water is allowed to freeze in winter it can break the iron block of the engine.That is why antifreeze is necessary.
Water freezes at 0℃;the usual kind of antifreeze will not freeze until the temperature is-40℃.A mixture(混合物) of five parts of water and four parts of antifreeze will prevent freezing at-18℃;four parts of water and five parts of antifreeze reduce this to -22℃.
Alcohol is a kind of good antifreeze,but when the air is running it becomes hot and the alcohol boils away,so it must be changed very often.Most people use antifreeze that does not boil away when the engine is running.There are several chemicals that do this.One of the most popular is called ethylene glycol.
【小题1】people use ________ to keep car engines cool.

A.antifreezeB.waterC.alcoholD.ethylene glycol.
【小题2】The usual kind of antifreeze freezes at ________.
A.0℃B.-18℃C.-22℃D.-40℃
【小题3】We use antifreeze in order to ________.
A.keep alcohol in water
B.stop ice from becoming water
C.make the freezing point of water lower
D.raise the freezing point of water
【小题4】Besides alcohol,________ is another kind of popular antifreeze.
A.waterB.ethylene glycolC.any chemicalD.any mixture
【小题5】The text is written to ________.
A.tell us what antifreeze is
B.make people buy antifreeze
C.tell us that cars need antifreeze
D.show us how to protect car engines

A Simple Scientific Experiment

Below is a description of a single scientific experiment. It shows us how iron reacts ( 反应) with air and with water.

Aim : To find out if iron rusts( 生锈) (a) in dry air ; (b) in water that has no air in it ( air- free water) ; (c) in ordinary water.

Materials : 3 clean iron nails ( 铁钉) ; test tubes ; test tube holder ; cotton wool ; oil ; Bunsen burner.

Iron in dry air

Method

(1) Put some iron nails at the bottom of a test tube.

(2) Push some cotton wool down the tube.

(3) Leave the tube for one week.

Result

After one week, the nails have not rusted.

Conclusion

Iron does not rust in dry air.

Iron in air-free water

Method

(1) Half-fill a test tube with water.

(2) Boil the water for three minutes. (This makes sure there is no air in the water.

(3) Put two or three clean nails in the water.

(4)Add some oil to the water. (This will keep air out of the water.)

(5) Leave the tube for one week.

Result

The nails do not rust in the tube with air-free water.

Conclusion

Iron does not rust in air- free water.

Iron in ordinary water

Method

(1) Half –fill a test tube with water and add two or three clean nails.

(2) Leave the tube for one week.

Result

The nails rust in the tube with ordinary water.

Conclusion

Iron rusts in ordinary water. (238 words)

1.In the first part of the experiment the cotton wool is most probably used to ______________.

   A. keep the air dry                            B. keep the tube wet

   C. make the nails rust                          D. keep the tube clean

2.What are necessary steps to make sure the water in the tube is air free?

①Leave half a tube of water in it              

②Boil the water for some time

③Put some clean iron nails in the tube           

④Add some oil to the water

  A. ①②                  B. ①③                 C. ②③                D. ②④

3.We can conclude from the experiment that only ____________ makes iron rusty.

A. dry air       B. cotton wool           C. ordinary water         D. air-free water
