But before I got to the school, it began to rain hard.I reached the classroom but I was wet shivering with cold.

12、The physics teacher had already begun his lesson. It was Mr. Smith. He was about fifty years old. All the students were a little afraid of him and so was I.

17、like the physics teachersD. youll catch cold if your clothes are wet BIn East Africa there is a bribe (部落) of people called the Masai. They are tall and slim and carry long spears to guard their cattle against an attacking lion or leopard (豹). These Africans move from place to place on the rolling (

18、绵延起伏的) grasslands looking for suitable grazing (牧场) and water. Mboto is twelve years old. He helps his father drive the cattle. If the family decides to remain in one spot for a while, he helps gather sticks and thin branches to build a simple house. The sticks are placed in the ground in a circle.

19、They are then bent inwards and joined at the top. Small branches and leaves fill the spaces. If it looks as if the family will stay longer than usual, then the inside walls are often plastered with cattle manure (粪). For a door there is only a small opening to allow a person to enter. A thorn (刺) fe

20、nce is built around the small house to keep cattle safe at night. Lions, leopards and hyenas prowl (觅食) around after dark. So the cattle would be easily killed and eaten.When Mboto grows up into a man, he will become a true Masai warrior (勇士). He will have to join other warriors in the strange custo

21、m of drinking blood. The blood is taken from the neck of one of their cattle. It is mixed with milk and together with meat. It becomes the main food for the men.The Masai have lived this way for thousands of years. The only change that seems to have affected their lives is the use of the transistor

22、(晶体管) radio. It is quite common to see a young warrior with a pair of earphones listening to music while he is with his cattle.25.

24、history28. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?A. The Masai wander over the rolling African grasslands.B. A Masais simple house has a small opening as a door to allow a person to enter.C. A Masais simple house is made of branches and strong sticks.D. Modern inventions dont affec

25、t the Masais lives at all. CChildren start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; theres no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your childrens curiosity. Firstly, listen to their q

26、uestions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that were finished with your li

27、sts, do you have questions of your own about science?”After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours. Secondly, give them time to think. St

28、udies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers. Thirdly, watch

29、 your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, dont jump in with “Thats right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by sayin

30、g, “Thats interesting” or “Id never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas. Never push a child to “Think”. It doesnt make sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to. Whats more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will

31、try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.Lastly, show; dont tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass (放大镜), and theyll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Instead of saying that water evaporates (蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.29. According to the text, to raise childrens
