Put an ice cube from your fridge into a glass of water. You have a piece of string(線) 10 centimeters long. The problem is to take out that piece of ice with the help of the string. But you must not touch the ice with your fingers.
You may ask your friends to try to do that when you are having dinner together. There is a saltcellar on the table. You must use salt when you carry out this experiment.
First you put the string across the piece of ice. Then put some salt on the ice. Salt makes ice melt(融化). The ice round the string will begin to melt. But when it melts, it will lose heat. The cold ice cube will make the salt water freeze(結(jié)冰) again.
After a minute or two you may raise the piece of string and with it you will raise your piece of ice!
This experiment can be very useful to you. If, for example, there is ice near the door of your house, you must use very much salt to melt all the ice. If you don’t put enough salt, the water will freeze again.
小題1:We must use           when we carry out this experiment.

D
When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor, Dr. Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never invited us to play in his yard, but he was a very kind person.
When Dr. Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees. He owned a large field and wanted to make it a forest.
The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He never watered his new trees. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled (寵壞)them, and that if you watered them, each baby tree would grow weaker and weaker, so you had to make things difficult for them and pick out the weaker trees early on.
He talked about how watering trees made for shallow(淺的) roots, and the trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in search of water under the earth by themselves. Deep roots were very important.
So he never watered his trees. He’d planted an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he’d beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.
Dr. Gibbs died several years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I watched him plant about twenty-five years ago. They’re very big and strong now.
I planted some trees a few years back and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years of caring too much, whenever a cold wind blows in, they shake a lot.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. Mostly I pray(祈禱) that their lives will be easy. But lately I’ve been thinking that it’s time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to face difficulties. There’s always a cold wind blowing somewhere, so what we need to do is to pray for roots that reach deep into the brave heart, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we could face it strongly and won’t be beaten down.
小題1: We know from the reading the doctor _________.
A．didn’t know how to plant trees at all
B．wasn’t good at his own medical job
C．had his own ways of planting trees
D．had nothing to do but plant trees
小題2: When Dr. Gibbs said, “...pick out the weaker trees early on.” he means that ______.
A．some weak trees would be easily found out at the beginning
B．he would choose the weak trees to water earlier
C．the weak trees would be sent to his patients later
D．he would not plant weak trees so early anymore
小題3:The passage tells us that the writer _______.
A．should beat his trees with a rolled-up newspaper
B．didn’t often water his trees
C．didn’t have a large field
D．took too much care of his tree
小題4: The writer wants to change his prayer, hoping that ________.
A．his trees will be stronger than Dr. Gibbs
B．his trees will not be beaten down
C．his sons will be better at planting trees
D．his sons will be able to face difficulties
小題5:Which can be the best title of the reading?
A．Watering TreesB．Growing Roots
C．Doctors and his NeighborD．Father and his Children
