21、Around the world, honeybee groups are dying in huge numbers: About one-third of nests collapse each year. For bees and the plants they pollinate (授粉) — as well as for beekeepers, farmers, honey lovers and everyone else who appreciates this marvelous social insect — this is a catastrophe.

Honeybee collapse has been particularly worrying because there is no one cause, but rather a thousand little cuts. The main elements include the mixed impact of pesticides (杀虫剂) applied to fields, as well as pesticides applied directly into nets to control bugs, pests and diseases; nutritional shortages caused by vast acreages of single-crop fields that lack diverse flowering plants; and commercial beekeeping itself, which destroys groups by moving most bees around the country multiple times each year to pollinate crops.

The real issue, though, is not the volume of problems, but the interactions among them. Here we find a major lesson from the bees that we ignore at our risk: the concept of synergy (协同作用), where one plus one equals three, or four, or more. A typical honeybee colony contains remains from more than 120 pesticides. Alone, each represents a benign dose (良性剂量). But together they form a poisonous soup of chemicals whose interplay (相互作用) can greatly reduce the effectiveness of bees’ immune systems, making them easier to suffer from diseases.

Observing the death of honeybees should warn us that our own well-being might be similarly threatened, and the widespread collapse of so many groups presents a clear message: We must demand that our regulatory authorities require studies on how exposure to low dosages of combined chemicals may affect human health before approving compounds.

Bees also provide some clues to how we may build a more collaborative relationship with the services that ecosystems can provide. Bees could offer some of the pollination service needed for agriculture. People discovered that crop harvests, and thus profits, are maximized if some cropland are left uncultivated for bees. Meanwhile a variety of wild plants means a healthier, more diverse bee population, which will then move to the planted fields next door in larger and more active numbers.

【1】Which of the following is NOT the cause that leads to bees dying?

A. Lack of nutrition from enough diverse flowering plants.

B. The pests and diseases of the bees.

C. The beekeepers’ destroying without intention

D. The pesticides applied to crops.

【2】By saying “one plus one equals three, or four, or more” in Paragraph 3, the author means that ____.

A. bees united mean they are much more powerful

B. bees united mean they are much more poisonous

C. pesticides mixed mean they are much more poisonous.

D. pesticides mixed mean they are much more effective.

【3】The lesson people can learn from bees dying is that ____________.

A. medicine is as powerful as pesticide

B. our health might be threatened by pesticides

C. we should protect bees by reducing the usage of pesticides

D. medicine may be harmful to us when used together

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. Keeping a balance with nature is important

B. More plants mean more and healthier bees.

C. Bees are very important to agriculture.

D. Bees can bring in good higher profits to farmers

(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

23、   Chinese kung fu is one of the earliest and longest­lasting sports that use both muscle and brain. Over its long history it has developed as a unique combination of exercise, practical self­defense, self­discipline and art.

It is estimated that Chinese kung fu can date back to primitive society. At that time, people used sticks to fight wild beasts. Gradually, they accumulated a great deal of self­defense experience.When the Shang Dynasty began, hunting was considered an important part of kung fu training.

During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, martial arts(武术) evolved to become a kind of dancing. Usually, the dancing of martial arts was used to train soldiers and inspire their morale(士气). At the same time, the skill and technology of sword making as well as sword ceremonies developed rapidly.

Starting from the Tang Dynasty, a kung fu examination was proposed and introduced. Excellent candidates would receive titles and awards through the examination, largely promoting the development of martial arts. By then, martial arts had evolved to become an art form and an independent genre. Kung fu was gradually introduced to many countries in Southeast Asia. Today, kung fu is honored as the ancestor of kickboxing(跆拳道)，karate(空手道) and judo.

The Song and Yuan Dynasties witnessed the climax of kung fu development. The practice of kung fu by civil organizations became more and more popular. People actually made a living as martial arts performers all over the country. Usually their performance was carried out by a single person or two people as a pair.

Chinese kung fu achieved greater development in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, a lot of genres came into being and numerous books on martial arts were published. In the Qing Dynasty, the ruling emperor banned the practice of martial arts, and the people had to set up various clubs or societies to pass on the skills in secret.

Today, kung fu continues to be practiced by many people for the purpose of keeping fit or improving body image.

【1】According to the text，________was an important part of the development of kung fu in ancient times.

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A．The production of swords reached the highest point during the Tang Dynasty.

B．Kung fu was performed by many people during the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

C．Kung fu had a great impact on many activities in Southeast Asia.

D．The Tang Dynasty witnessed the climax of kung fu development.

【4】How did kung fu evolve in the Ming Dynasty?

B．Various genres appeared and books were published about kung fu.

C．Kung fu became the only performance at court parties.

D．People made a living as kung fu performers all over the country.

24、Four simple ways to stay positive Trying to stay positive, both in good times and bad, is a great way to improve your quality of life.Try these four methods on a daily basis.

Don't think a lot about negativity.

Of course, staying positive 24 hours a day, seven days a week is a bit difficult.Letting things get to you is normal, and it's actually healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while.

【2】

What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside.Fill yourself with good, healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and limit snacking.Exercise is equally of great importance.Take a few days out of your week for at least a half an hour of activity, and try to stick to a routine. 【3】

Be kind to others.

【4】 Making someone's day a bit brighter not only puts a smile on his or her face, but also yours as well.Remember to smile and treat each person with pity and respect.Good deeds are contagious （传染的）, and your positive attitude may spread among others.

Take it one day at a time.

Being positive isn't an instant thing.It's a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day.【5】 Instead, focus on living in the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better.
