(WAIKING WATER EXPERIMENT)

Walking Water Science Experiment for Kids

Let's get set up for walking water with a few quick and easy steps the kids can definitely be a part of! We used test tubes for three sets of primary colors. You can use less as long as you have enough to go around with all the colors mixing. First, add red, yellow, and blue food coloring (one color per test tube) in order. Give each test tube a little stir (搅拌)to evenly distribute the color. Try to put the same amount of food coloring in each container. Cut thin strips of white paper towel to fit in the test tubes. Place them into the test tubes. There will be two ends in each tube. Wait and watch what happens. At this point, you can set up a stopwatch to make notes of how long it takes for the colors to meet and mix.

Before you insert the strips, you have the perfect opportunity to make some predictions about what will happen. Have your kids come up with a prediction for their experiment? Will the water walk? You can start the conversation with "What do you think will happen when we put the towels into the water?"

The whole process starts pretty quickly, but it does take a while for the colors to begin to mix with each other. Extend the science activity: pull out the watercolors and do some color mixing art while you wait. Make sure to check on your walking water science experiment every once in a while to see the changes that are constantly taking place. The kids will be amazed at how the water seems to fight against gravity! As the paper towels absorb the colored water, the water travels up the towel strip. It meets up with the other colored water that has traveled up the neighboring strip. Where the primary colors interact, they turn into the secondary colors. Both colors will continue to travel as long as the towel fibers absorb the water.

The experiment is colorful and simple to do! Plus, it is interesting for multiple ages. Older kids should be able to set it up all by themselves and can also use our science journal page to record their results.

【1】What materials are needed for the experiment?

A．Test tubes, food coloring and paper towel.

B．Drinking water, test tubes and a notebook.

C．Food coloring, water cups and a paper cutter.

D．Mixed colors, towel strips and food containers.

【2】In the experiment, you're expected to ________.

A．add three colors into each container

B．set up a stopwatch from the beginning

C．put colorful towel strips in the test tubes

D．stir each test tube to make the color even

【3】Water in the test tubes can walk because ________.

A．food coloring has the power to take in water

B．towel fibers absorb water and allow it to travel

C．water flows naturally under the influence of gravity

D．colors interact with each other and thus travel easily

22、   This is what's known as a 'Buddy' or Friendship Bench'. They're needed because playgrounds can be lonely places sometimes. And these benches can help pupils feeling lonely to find a friend. Benches like this have been around for a while now in many schools. But in Ireland, they are trying to do something a bit different with them.

This school in Cork in the south of Ireland is the 247th to get one from a social enterprise called Buddy Bench Ireland that doesn't just provide schools with benches, it also runs special workshops with trained child psychiatrists（精神病专家）.They use the bench as an opportunity to start conversations about mental well-being. They talk about the importance of being aware of your feelings and those of others. The children need to understand what the bench is about, what it symbolizes--- friendship, inclusion, listening to each other and the most important thing, that it's important to express feelings.

But do children actually use the bench? It's something an independent academic study has been looking at. We found that 40% of the children told us that they had actually used the benches at the time of the study. And over 90% said that they would talk to a child if that child was sitting on the bench. So, certainly there doesn't appear to be any issues around stigma. Children's mental health at school is increasingly a concern in many countries. In Ireland, they're hoping these benches will not only tackle issues like social isolation and bullying but also give a future generation the confidence to open up about their feelings.

【1】Why the school in Cork in the south of Ireland uses the bench?

A.To start conversations about mental well-being.

B.To replace the old benches in school.

C.To cut the cost of school's facility.

D.To help children with psychological problems fully recover.

【2】What makes the bench work in Ireland schools?

A.Teachers and parents encourage children to try it.

B.Most children are willing to express feelings.

C.All the children understand what the bench is about.

D.The bench helps children get rid of loneliness.

【3】What do schools expect of the bench?

A.It will deal with social isolation and bullying completely.

B.It will motivate a future generation to bravely convey their feelings.

C.It will make children prefer the bench to old one.

D.It will spread in most schools in Ireland soon.

【4】Where is the text most likely from?

A.A fiction B.A guidebook

C.A diary D.A magazine

23、   For the first few months of 2021, Mars was crowded with new “visitors” from Earth. First, it was the UAE Space Agency’s Hope, followed by the Chinese Tianwen-1. The name comes from the long poem Tianwen, written by Qu Yuan, a great poet of ancient China. In Tianwen, this name conveys China’s steady effort in pursuing truth and culture of exploring the universe.

The Tianwen-1 rover landing has orbiting, landing and roving (巡视) components—the first mission to include all three on its first attempt. Landing on Mars is extremely dangerous. It requires entering the atmosphere at very high speeds, then slowing down before landing. As to Tianwen-1, a heat shield (防热护罩) protected the spacecraft during the fiery (燃烧的) landing, after which the mission safely parachuted (使空降) down to the Utopia Planitia (乌托邦平原). The landing platform fired small, downward-facing rocket engines to slow down during the last few seconds.

China’s Mars rover, called Zhurong after an ancient Chinese fire god, sent back images of the surface of Mars captured by a camera on its front, which functions as an “eye” to detect barriers and get around them. The Utopia Planitia, where Tianwen-1 landed, has long been believed to contain vast amounts of water ice. Zhurong will first and foremost study Martian soil and atmosphere and search for signs of water ice, which suggests the existence of life.

Tianwen-1 is China’s first interplanetary (行星间的) mission. Meanwhile, China is working with Russia on a sample-return mission scheduled to launch in 2024. China is open and inclusive in the development of its space technology to build a community with a shared future for mankind.

【1】Why was China’s “visitor” to Mars named Tianwen?

A．To emphasize the value of exploring Mars.

B．To arouse readers’ interest in reading classics.

C．To illustrate the long history of writing poems.

D．To show China’s constant struggle in space exploration.

【2】Which of the following contributed to the safe landing on Mars?

A．The heat shield on the spacecraft.

B．The camera on the front of Zhurong.

C．The flat landscape of the Utopia Planitia.

D．The rocket engines above the landing platform.

【3】What is the primary target of Zhurong on Mars?

A．To build a shared future for mankind.

B．To look for signs of life on the red planet.

C．To push the boundaries of space exploration.

D．To inform people of our achievements in space.

【4】What can we learn from the text?

A．China is the first country to land a rover on Mars.

B．China is confident of the existence of life on Mars.

C．Tianwen-1 proves joint efforts matter in space research.

D．Tianwen-1 marks the start of China’s interplanetary exploration.

24、What does a PhD student do? I am a PhD girl student being responsible for the tear where undergraduate and master students work together. They work on different aspects of my project and other projects in the team. I offer them advice and sort out issues they have. I also assist them with computer-aided design (CAD), programming, and teach them how to use some equipment, like 3D printers. Being in charge of the research group while working or my PhD is also a learning process for me. There is so much support from my supervisors and senior students. There is usually someone to turn to for help!

I start my day at 5 am. I will read some papers and work on my project before heading to the lab in the hospital at 11:00. This summer, our team consists of 40 students, so the lab is usually occupied when I get there. I will attend some meetings, meet with students, and then program or work on CAD.

The best part of my research work is the flexibility in that it involves both software and hardware development. Whenever I get stuck on the programming part, I will move onto CAD for a break. It does not require me to be attached to my screen at all times, which can be quite refreshing.

My project about the development of a robotic system impresses me a lot. A huge milestone for me is designing and developing my first model of a robot. It is quite satisfying to make progress and be reminded of the great potential my research has for improving the current medical treatment.

I think I can progress even further if I have more confidence in myself and ask others for help when I need it most. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter who you want to ask for help, because they may know more about the topic than you do. So, expose yourself to people in the roles you wish to be in and make lots of connections!

【1】What does the author think of being responsible for the research group?

A．Troublesome.

B．Beneficial.

C．Effortless.

D．Casual.

【2】What satisfies the author most in the study?

A．Reading some papers.

B．Freely choosing subjects.

C．Asking teachers for help.

D．Relaxing by switching work.

【3】What does the author convey in paragraph 4?

A．Her pride in the research result.

B．The importance of teamwork in the research.

C．The difficulty of developing a robotic system.

D．Her confusion about designing a robot model.

【4】What does the author want to tell us to do in the last paragraph?

A．Offer to help others.

B．Expose our abilities to others.

C．Turn to others for help when necessary.

D．Cooperate with other people as we wish.
