14．E-book is short for electronic（电子的）book．It is usually read on personal computers．Some mobile phones can also be used to read e-books．
Earlier e-books were written for a specific group of readers and were about only a few subjects．With the development of the Internet，knowledge and answers to a lot of questions mainly come from e-books．This is why the e-book business is increasing quickly．
E-books have many advantages．First，they save time．We don't need to go to a bookstore to buy books； besides，we can find the topic we want to know about on the Internet，and then we can quickly get many e-books on similar topics．Second，e-books save money．Some e-books cost us little money，and there are millions of e-books on the Internet that we can get for free．Third，more trees are saved because e-books don't need to be printed on paper．Fourth，e-books make reading more convenient．You can carry a whole library of hundreds of books with you，in a small computer or any e-book reader（电子阅读器），without worrying about their weight．
But e-books have certain disadvantages．They need a personal computer or an e-book reader，and the information can be lost if its file format（文件格式）is not supported or changed in the reader's computer．
However，e-books provide us with a new way of reading．That is good．

Your Nose knows
If I were to ask you to close your eyes and I gave you a piece of apple to eat，would you be able to tell me what it is just by tasting it？Of course，you could．Your tongue helps you know what different foods taste like．Do you know that foods would taste different if you did not have a nose？
What You Need
☆a friend to help
☆small pieces of any food like carrot，orange，banana-whatever you have
☆small pieces of apples，raw（uncooked） potato and （if you are brave） onion
What You Do
There are actually three different experiments．You and your friend should take turns trying them on each other．
Experiment 1：
Have your friend close her eyes and open her mouth．Give her a piece of the food and ask her to taste it．Then，ask her what she thinks it is．She will probably guess correctly．
Experiment 2：
While your friend has her eyes closed，give her a piece of raw potato．At the same time，hold a piece of apple right under her nose．Ask her to eat the potato and tell you what she thinks it is．She will say it is a piece of apple!You can even do it the other way around，and she will think she is eating a potato，or，perhaps，she won't be able to name what she is eating．
Experiment 3：（for the brave）
Take a piece of raw onion．You don't have to close your eyes this time．Press your nose closed with your other hand so that no smells can get into your nose．Now eat a small piece of the onion．Surprise!As long as you hold your nose，you will not be able to taste the onion．
The Science Secret
You already know the science secret．Your nose and your tongue work together to make food taste the way it does．Your tongue，however，can taste only certain flavors like salty，bitter，sour，and sweet．All of the other"tastes"are actually"smells"，and you need your nose to taste them．
Oh，you might use this science secret the next time you are forced to eat something you don't like the taste of．If you hold your nose while you eat it，you won't"taste"it
at all．

53．In Experiment 1，you shouldB before giving your friend a piece of food．
A．ask her to taste the food
B．have her close her eyes
C．see if her guess is correct
D．ask her to name the food
54．Why is Experiment 3for the brave？BecauseB．
A．you have to press your nose
B．you have to eat a raw onion
C．you do the experiment alone
D．you must keep your eyes open
55．What's the passage mainly about？D
A．Why different foods can smell the same．
B．Why some things smell better than others．
C．How smell changes the way we see things．
D．How smell affects the way food tastes．
56．What can we learn from the passage？D
A．Knowledge comes from personal experience．
B．Team work helps us to find out science secrets．
C．We should have courage while doing experiments．
D．We can't draw a conclusion simply from the feeling．

As space science develops，man has learned more and more about space．Space is not only amazing but also dangerous．While working in space，spacemen are facing danger as well as success．
Scientists have found out that the radiation（辐射） is the greatest danger to spacemen in space．When spacemen are working in space，they are in danger of the radiation from the sun and other stars，which is bad for their health．The harm of the radiation won't be found until their children even grandchildren are born．Some special medicine may work a little，but no really effective medicine has been found so far．
Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen．It's reported that there were 9，000man-made things flying in space．About 30% of these are satellites，10% are spaceships，and the rest are space rubbish．An explosion（爆炸）in space in 1999made a cloud of 300，000 fragments，each at least 4mm in size．A small piece of these even knocked a spaceship window and caused some damage．
Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time．They are working to deal with space rubbish．Although space is really dangerous，it interests many people on the earth．In the near future，it may become possible for people to spend a few days in a space hotel．We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years．So we should do something to help improve the space environment．

53．B shows the man-made things in space in the correct way．

54．The underlined word"fragments"means"B"．
A．泡沫
B．碎片
C．烟雾
D．飞碟
55．Which of the following is TRUE？C
A．Every one of us can have a travel to space in ten years．
B．Scientists have found out ways to solve any problem in space．
C．The harm of the radiation may be found in the spacemen's children．
D．Space is really dangerous，so it doesn't interest anyone on the earth．

11．Now students'English handwriting gets worse and worse．That makes their teachers feel worried．Is your English handwriting beautiful？If not，here are four steps that really work!
•Use paper with lines
Using paper with lines can keep you writing straight instead of up or down when you write English words or sentences．Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size．Be sure to fill the lined space completely．And make sure those capital letters are written properly．
•Slow down
If your writing is hard to read，try slowing down a little．For some kids，going slower makes the handwriting clear．If you write too fast，it's hard for you to stop where you should，and even worse，you may make more mistakes．
•Hold your pencil right
When you hold your pencil the correct way，writing is much easier．Some kids press down really hard when they write．That makes the handwriting not nice．Try to be relaxed and don't hold the pencil so hard．Let your writing appear nice and clean．If you do so，people will guess you are a student with a good habit．
•Draw more pictures
Drawing can improve your handwriting．You need to use the skills to control your pencil better when you are drawing pictures．Even though you have no chance to draw at school，you can practice by yourself at home．
Handwriting is very important．Imagine you are a world-famous movie star or a well-known sports player，what do you do when your fan run up to you？Give them your autographs，of course!

50．How many pieces of good advice does the passage give us？B
A．Only one．

51．What does the underlined word"autographs"mean？D

Sparky was a loser．He，his classmates…everyone knew it．Sparky never asked a classmate to go out in high school．He was too afraid of being refused．
However，one thing was important to Sparky-drawing．He was proud of his artwork．Of course，no one else appreciated it．In his senior year of high school，he sent some cartoons to the editors of the Yearbook．Although the cartoons were turned down，Sparky was so confident about his ability that he decided to become an artist．
After completing high school，he wrote a letter to Walt Disney Studios．He was told to send some samples of his artwork，and the subject for a cartoon was suggested．Sparky spent a great deal of time on it．Finally，the reply came from Disney Studios．He had been rejected（拒绝）once again．Another loss for the loser．

9．Last year，Joseph Medina，a 15-year-old student at West School in California，US，spent most of his time improving his poor math scores，but had little success．Recently，he joined the Interactive （互动的） Math Program （IMP） class．
IMP helps students to improve their scores by using their own learning styles．According to Debbie Wittkowske，the teacher who designed the program，students get visual aids （直观教具）  and hands-on learning in the IMP class instead of just listening to teachers and doing math exercises．"Students with different intelligences（智力） learning differently from each other，"she said．"So I help the students make their own learning plans according to their learning styles．"
In the IMP class，video games，candy，musical instruments，cash…almost anything can be a useful tool for learning．Students also design the teaching materials for their own math lessons，and then teach them to fifth-graders at Jacobson Elementary School．
When Medina said he's a visual learner，Wittkowske gave him a hand．She wrote the math problems on the blackboard and write the answers in different colors．In this way，Medina has found math comes earlier．"I'm happy about it because I get to work out many questions I couldn't do last year，"he said．
Another student，Lorena Garcia，15，almost completely gave up math last year．After she took part in the IMP class，her math score rose quickly．One of the ways she enjoys is learning by teaching primary school kids．
"I have to do a lot of work before teaching them，but it also helps me to understand math clearly，"Garcia said．"I realize interacting（互动） with others is a successful way for me to make a math problem easier．"

6．We are now living in a time that science is developing at a great speed．With the development of science，many countries has improved not only their economy（经济） but also their people's living conditions．In our daily life we can get a lot of benefit from science．
If we look at the things around us，we'll find how closely our daily life is connected with science．For example，at home we can turn on the air conditioner when we feel cold or hot，and we can watch TV or listen to the radio for entertainment，and we can use a gas stove to cook our meals，and we also have cars，buses，even airplanes as traffic tools when we go out．All these things are the results of the development of science．
Since science is so important in our daily life，we should try to develop science．As students，we must first study hard to get useful scientific knowledge，and then put what we have learned into practice．We should take advantages of science to serve our society．

Science	Advantages of science：	Science has （71）improved the economy．
		Science has improved people's living conditions：	1．The air conditioner helps us get （72）warmer or cooler．
			2．TV and radios provide us with （73）entertainment．
			3．A gas stove cooks our meals．
			4．Computers help us with work．
			5．Different vehicles help us travel．
	What people should do：	1．We should try to（74）develop science．
		2．Students should study hard and （75）practice what they have learnt．
		3．We should make full use of science．
