22、In Canada and the United States，people enjoy entertaining(请客) at home. They often invite friends over for a meal，a party or just for a coffee and conversation.

Here are the kinds of words people say when they invite someone to their home：

“Would you like to come over for dinner on Saturday night？”

“Hey，we’re having a party on Friday. Can you come？”

To reply to an invitation，either say thank you and accept，or say you’re sorry，and give an excuse：

“Thanks，I’d love to. What time would you like me to come？”or “Oh，sorry，I’ve got tickets for a movie. ”

Sometimes，however，people use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not real invitations. For example：

“Please come over for a drink sometime. ”

“Why not get together for a party sometime？”

“Why don’t you come over and see us sometime soon？”

They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don’t mention a specific(确定的) time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply to expressions like these，people just say “Sure，that would be great！”or “OK，thanks. ”

So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation，listen carefully：Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?

23、When the weather is hot， you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an ocean， you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot， but it can not make the water hot. Though the air over the earth becomes hot， the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth goes up， then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean， you feel the cool air when it moves in. You feel the wind and the wind makes you cool.

Of course， scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask “Why is the ocean full of salt？” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cool， it cracks (崩裂) ， and rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask “What happens to the salt in the ocean？ The ocean does not get saltier every year. “ scientists are not sure about the answer to the question.

We know a lot about our world. But there are still many answers that we do not have， and we are curious(好奇的).

【1】In the first paragraph， the underlined word “it” refers to .

A. The hot air over the water

B. The cool air over the earth

D. The cool air over the water

【2】Now scientists know   .

A. What makes people feel cool near a lake or an ocean in summer.

D. Why the ocean does not get more saltier.

【3】A rock crack when   . .

A. rain falls  B. it gets very hot

C. it gets very cold   D. Both B and C

【4】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?

A. The reason why people feel cool when they are near a lake or an ocean in hot weather.

B. The reason why the ocean doesn’t get saltier every year.
