10、olin under my jacket, and went out into the street. I wandered about for an hour, looking for a possible place, feeling as if I were about to commit a crime (犯罪). Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a go. I felt nervous and shaking. I drew my violin from under

11、my coat like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains passing overhead, that I was about to prove myself. The first notes（音符）I played were loud and raw, and then they settled down and began to run more smoothly and to stay more or less in tune(曲调). To my surprise I was neither arrested（逮捕） no

12、r told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all. I walked along the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually knowing how to try and get money by being a street artist. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat filled up with money the sight could discourage the people;

13、 nor was it wise to empty it completely, which could also confuse them, giving them no hint(暗示) as to where to drop his money. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became the best idea. Before I played another tune, I took off the big money, but always left two pennie

14、s behind. Old ladies were most generous, and so were women with children, shop girls, and typists. As for the men，heavy drinkers were always generous too and so were big young men with muscles.

The same principle(原理) that keeps food frozen in the open freezers(冰箱) at the grocery store allows hot air balloons to fly.

19、Its a very basic principle: Hot air rises and cold air falls. So while the cooled air in the grocery store freezer settles down around the food, the hot air in a hot air balloon pushes up, keeping the balloon floating above the ground.A hot air balloon has three major parts: the basket, the burner,

20、and the envelope(气囊). The basket is where passengers ride. The burner is positioned above the passengers heads and produces a huge flame to heat the air inside the envelope. The envelope is the colorful balloon that holds the hot air. When the air inside the envelope is heated, the balloon rises. Th

21、e pilot can control the up-and-down movements of the hot air balloon by adjusting the heat in the envelope. To ascend, the pilot heats the air in the envelope but when the pilot is ready to land, the air in the balloon is allowed to cool and the balloon becomes heavier than air. This makes the ballo

22、on go down. Before the balloon is launched (使升空) , the pilot knows which way the wind is blowing. This means that he has a general idea about which way the balloon will go. But, sometimes the pilot can actually control the direction that the balloon flies. This is because the air above the ground is

23、 divided into layers (层）in which the direction of the wind may be different. So even though the pilot cant guide the balloon, he can fly higher into a different layer of air to better control the direction!25.In Paragraph I, the writer tells us how a hot balloon works by_.A. making a conclusion B. g

24、iving an example C. observing food in the freezer D. keeping the balloon floating26. According to the passage, how could pilots control the balloons altitude(高度)?A. Move into a different layer of air. B. Change the amount of weight in the basket.C. Adjust the air temperature inside the balloon. D. A

25、djust the amount of air in the envelope.27. What does the underlined word ascend”(in Paragraph 3) in the paragraph3 mean?A. float B. move C. sink D. rise 28. What could the pilot do to change a balloon direction during flight?A. Move to an upper layer. B. Wait for it to rain.C. Fly into a cloud D. H
