Things that move obey certain laws. Three important laws of motion were established by Isaac Newton (1642～1727).

NEWTON Ⅰ: INERTIA

Newton’s first law of motion seems simple: Objects at rest tend to remain at rest, ___33___ moving ones continue to move at a uniform speed in a straight line---____34____ acted upon by an outside force. This resistance to change is called inertia, and it explains a lot of everyday experiences no matter where you happen to live.

One is that when the car or airplane you’re in begins to move, your body is pushed back___ 35_____ the seat. That is, it tends to remain at rest _36____   _____   _______  the forward-moving force of the vehicle transferred to you through the seat. ____37___ aspect of this law shows that the normal courses for freely moving objects is a straight line. That explains why, when you whirl something around your head---such as a ball on a string---and then let it go, the ball flies straight. It ___38___ keeps circling your head nor does it move off in a sweeping curve.

NEWTON Ⅱ: F=MA

Newton’s second law relates the amount of force needed to move an object to the object’s mass and its acceleration.

Push a child in a swing, or ride a planet around the sun, and you’re using Newton’s second law of motion, which states that _____39_______ you want to change the speed or direction of something, you have to apply an appropriate force. The bigger the mass or the larger the intended acceleration, the greater the necessary force. This law’s formula allows engineers to calculate what’s required to launch a jet fighter from an aircraft carrier, or how strong a seat belt__  40_____ be to restrain, say, a 160-pound person when his car stops suddenly while travelling at 60 mph.

The beginning of a Frank Sinatra song drifted across the dance floor and I knew my dad would call out and request that, which for most people is very 36.

As he walked towards me to ask for the first 37, I could see there were 38 in his eyes. I grasped the side of my chair, 39 myself up with my arms, and grabbed the two metal sticks which keep me 40 as I stood to take his hand.

It took all my will to 41 my own tears and inside a voice kept 42: “Don’t fall over, Martine.” We grabbed each other and in some way shuffled（穿梭）out a dance for the whole of the song.

For my dad, it was a turning point. He had 43 his friends on his 70th birthday he would lead his daughter in the first dance, 44 he had done so many times before. Almost a year after the suicide bomb on the London Underground train which blew 45 both my legs above the knee, I had managed to realize his 46. Like so much that has happened over the last 12 months, there was something 47 about the moment.

Today, on July 1, as I face the first anniversary of the terrorist 48, I am preparing to leave the country for a while. I know I 49 be celebrating the fact that I am alive, 50 I do not feel able to remain in London for the event.

Psychologically, I am a different person. I am very body conscious. When I go out I am 51 that children will make fun of me on my artificial legs. In my wheelchair I cover my lower half with a blanket 52 what remains of my body draws 53 glances.

Despite my brave claims of what I would do when I left the hospital in March, the reality is that I will 54 be able to do many things. I thought I would be able to wear my artificial legs all day, to run, to go out alone. But that is just not possible.

I keep asking myself, 55 does it become normal? Is this normal now?

One day, Dad and I was taking a walk by the lake when a boy rode by with a very high speed. Suddenly, we heard the loud scream. We turned around and saw the boy struggling in the lake,  crying out help. Daddy and I ran towards him quickly and had pulled him out of the water. However, the boy rode away immediate without saying “Thank you”. I felt disappointing at his behavior. To my surprises, the boy came back with hot drinks and dry towels several minutes late. Seeing this, I knew I had misunderstood him and felt ashamed of me

Save Your Time, Money and Stress with Savvy Rental Car Strategies

Renting a car can be expensive, confusing, and stressful — but it doesn’t have to be. Here are several helpful strategies to save money, time, and stress on your next (and every) car rental.

u Sign Up for Loyalty Programs

Rental car loyalty programs are free to join, so register for any programs you might use in the future. My favorite car rental loyalty program benefit is that I can skip the counter and head right to my reserved car. Some programs allow members to choose a car from the available pool.   36    

u Optimize Your Strategy

Do you really need a rental car from the airport? For instance, if your flight arrives at night, take a free hotel shuttle and pick up your car the next day. The car rental location might even be at your hotel or can pick you up (or deliver the car to you).   37   

u   38 

For a city trip, you may not even need a rental car. Research whether mass transit, taxi, Uber, bike rental, and other transportation methods will suffice. Parking charges at downtown hotels may cost more than your car rental rate, so it may be doubly in your favor to give up a rental car. In some locations, a bike might be more efficient and economical than a car.

u Search for Specials

  39   In conjunction with your personal discount code, you may also find a last-minute rate, free rental day, or other promotion. My favorite annual travel deal is driving a car one-way out of Florida after Spring Break with rates as low as $1 per day.

u Consider Alternative Rental Options

Major car rental companies might have an associated discount brand at your rental location, like Firefly for Hertz.   40   An independent or smaller local agency may fit your needs; like A1 or Lucky Owl in Honolulu. Many people prefer to check rates on Hotwire and Priceline, especially for last-minute rentals.

A．Rental rates are likely lower away from the airport, plus you might save the cost of an entire rental day.

B．I use discount-finding websites to track my car reservations.

C．Smaller brands, like Thrifty and Fox, might offer better service and lower rates.

D．In addition to saving time and offering freedom of choice, loyalty members earn points and receive special promotions.

E．Check car rental company websites for current specials.

F．Skip the Car

G．Use a bike

Some children are natural-born bosses. They have a strong need to make decisions, manage their  environment, and lead rather than follow. Stephen Jackson, a Year One student, "operates under the  theory of what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine," says his mother."The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers (剑). Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brogher was  using the beat-up ones."      

"Examine the extended family, and you'll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin  in every generation. It't an inheritable trait," says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other.      

Whether it's inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands at the young isn't healthy for children or the family, Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior, says family psychologist John Taylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, "have secret  feelings of weakness" and "a desire to feel safe." It's the parents' role to provide that protection.      

When a "boss child" doesn't learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.      

"I see more and more parents giving up their power," says Barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years."They bend too far because they don't want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn, feel more anxious."

32. Bossy children like Stephen Jackson _____.

A. make good decisions   B. show self-centeredness

C. are very considerate    D. always think about other persons

33. The underlined phrase "inheritable trait" in Paragraph 2 means _____.

A. inborn nature      B. developed character

C. accepted theory    D. particular environment

34. The study on bossy behavior implies that parents _____.

A. should give more power to their children 

B. should be strict with their children 

C. should bend before their children

D. should not set limits for their children

35. What is the passage mainly about?

A. How bossy behavior can be controlled. 

B. How we can get along with bossy children.

C. What leads to children's bossy behavior. 

D. What effect bossy behavior brings about.

Today many people say that women have the same chance as men in society. But this was not always so. In the past, women all over the world had to fight to get the same chance as men in education and jobs. Many people said that women should not receive much education because they would not do as well as men when they went to work.

One woman who showed that women should have the same chance was Marie, a scientist. In the 1800s scientists knew that a metal, uranium, gave off radiation. They also knew how much radiation came from his element. But they didn’t know what this radiation was like; they wondered why and how uranium gave off radiation. Marie Curie set out to answer these questions. In one of her experiments she was studying a certain material which, she knew, contained uranium, But it gave off 4 times as much radiation as usually does. What could explain this fact? Marie Curie thought that there must be another source of radiation in this material.

In 1898 Marie Curie set out to find out this new source of radiation, which she named “radium”. Her husband, who was also a scientist, helped her. They set up a laboratory in an old building behind a school. For four years Curies searched, doing many experiments, And one morning in 1902 Marie found the source of the radiation.

Marie Curie proved to the world that there was element that gave off radiation. And she also proved to the world that, if women are given truly equal chance, they can really help society.

【小题1】The scientists of Marie Curie’s day knew .

   A. that uranium gave off radiation

   B. that radium gave off radiation

   C. that there was some radium in uranium

   D .that uranium and radium both gave off radiation

【小题2】The Curies found the element radium .

   A. with other scientists’ help      B. by asking some famous scientists

   C. by doing many experiments   D .with their teachers’ help

【小题3】In the past many people thought .

   A. that women must get the same chance as men in education and jobs

  B. that women should receive much education

  C. that women should get good jobs

  D. that women could not do the work well

【小题4】Marie Curie proved to people .

A. that there was a new element uranium

B. that there was a new element radium

C. that women could do their work as well as men if they were really given the same conditions

 D. both B and C

When         different cultures, we often pay attention only to the differences without noticing the many similarities.

More than 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed across the globe each day, and it’s likely that many taste bitter.

Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink taste sweeter by simply changing the color of their cups.

Scientists claim that blue and glass mugs, which are popular in some coffee shops, can reduce coffee’s bitterness, without any need for sugar, and that coffee drunk from white cups tastes the bitterest.

To prove their claims, the researchers invited 36 volunteers and used three different colored cups— blue, white and transparent glass—to do an experiment.

In the experiment, coffee consumed from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other two colored cups, while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest.

    The scientists believe that the color brown may be associated with coffee’s bitterness because coffee in a white cup appears the brownest and tastes the bitterest.

“Our study clearly shows that the color of a coffee cup does influence the perceived (感受到的) taste and flavor of coffee,” said Dr George Doorn of Federation University Australia, “but the potential effects may be different between a one-time purchase and a return customer.”

“Anyhow, the effect of the color of the cup on the flavor of the coffee suggests that café owners, baristas (服务员), as well as coffee cup manufacturers should carefully consider the color of their cups, ” he added.

However, the idea that color can alter the taste of food and drink is not new.

A study published last year revealed that red, strawberry-flavored mousse (慕斯蛋糕) served on a white plate was rated as 10 percent sweeter and 15 percent more flavorous than the same food presented on a black plate.

29. What color of the cup can best reduce coffee’s bitterness without adding sugar?

 A. Blue.                            B. Brown.               C. White.                        D. Transparent.

30. The scientists used ________ to do the experiment to prove their claims.

① different brands of coffee         ② different colored coffee cups  

③ several volunteers               ④ several manufactures

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

31. Why does coffee in white cups taste the least sweet?

 A. Because white cups are not as beautiful as other cups.

 B. Because white cups make coffee appear the brownest.

 C. Because white cups reduce the sugar in them.

 D. Because white cups are better used to serve cakes.

32. According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?

 A. Black plates increase the sweetness of food and drink.

 B. Strawberry-flavored mousse is 10 percent sweeter than coffee.

 C. People consume more than 2.5 billion cups of coffee across the globe every year.

 D. People can make coffee taste sweeter by changing the color of their coffee cups.

As a Senior Three student, time seems limited. As the result, more and more students try to study whenever we have time, even during the ten-minute break. In my opinion, to take a break between class is of significant important. Otherwise we will feel definite tired both physically and mentally. So we should be ready to do which is needed to get rid of tiredness. If you are to have a real rest instead of get more tired, and doing nothing tiring in that period will be really good . My ten-minute break is always pleasing, which sometimes I do some simple exercise or I have a free chat with my classmates. When the next class began, I feel fresh again.

How to Find Yourself

       Do you often feel lost? Do you think you are living somebody else’s life? If yes, discover ways to find yourself by going through the following article.

         36     

       If you are thinking , “how to find yourself when you are lost?”, then the first thing to do is to have a rest from everything—work, personal life and all worldly things. Give time to yourself to think why you seem lost. Is it because of over work? Is it because you are not leading a life that you want to? Or is it because you are not satisfied with the people or things around you? Try to find answers to these questions to determine the cause behind your restlessness.

         37    

       For once, instead of being the way others want you to be, be yourself. Look within and find yourself in you. Think about the things that you would want to do if you didn’t have any family obligations or any money issues. If you really want to know how to find inner peace, then think, what you would want others to describe you as—an honest person? Or adventurous? Or loving?, or realistic?  38    

       Reflect on yourself

       Thinking deeply about the past, the time or situations when you were the happiest, is another way to find yourself.  39    This will help you to identify things that you want to do in life and that make you happy and also certain people whose company you enjoy.

       Maintain a diary

       Knowing yourself and determining what you want to do with your life, will not come to you in a day or two. Discovering oneself is an ongoing process and it can take months or sometimes even years to truly find yourself. So, it’s important that you keep a written record of all your feelings and thoughts.  40    And then you may find yourself.

A.      Accept yourself

B.      Focus on yourself

C.     Give yourself a break

D.     Pour all your emotions and feelings about life in it.
