Some say he was the greatest experimental scientist of the 17th century. In the course of his work, he cooperated with famous men of science like Isaac Newton, a

2、nd the great architect, Christopher Wren. Hookes early education began at home, under the guidance of his father. He entered Westminster School at the age of 13, and from there went to Oxford, where he came in contact with some of the best scientists in England. Hooke impressed them with his skills

3、at designing experiments and inventing instruments. In 1662, at the age of 28, he was named Curator of Experiments at the newly formed Royal Society of London meaning that he was responsible for demonstrating new experiments at the societys weekly meetings. Hooke accepted the job, even though he kne

4、w that the society had no money to pay him!him in appreciation of his services to this branch of science.1. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Hooke is _. A. friendly B. sociable C. creativeD. helpful 2. Why possibly did Hooke accept the job as Curator of Experiments? A. Because his parents couldnt

5、afford his education. B. Because his family needed his support. C. Because he wanted to please the famous scientists in England. D. Because he liked designing experiments. 3. The cell got its name because of _. A. its useB. its shapeC. Hookes favorites D. Hookes experiences4. The last paragraph is t

6、o prove that _.A. Hooke was the greatest experimental scientist of the 17th centuryB. Hooke was good at making discoveriesC. Hookes contributions were not limited to one filedD. Hooke was one of the greatest astronomers5. The best title for the text may be _.A. The Greatest ScientistB. A Helper of N

7、ewtonC. A Brief Introduction to HookeD. Achievements of Hooke BChildren 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 cu

8、riousness . Firstly ,listen to their questions. 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,

9、“Now that were finished with your lists ,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.Sec

10、ondly ,give them time to think. Studies 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 a

11、nd creative answers.Thirdly, watch 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. In

12、stead, keep things going by saying “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

13、 performance. The child will 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

14、. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大鏡),and theyll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates(蒸發(fā)),set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.1.According to the passage , children are natural sci

15、entists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is _.A. to let them see the world aroundB. to share the childrens curiosityC. to explain difficult phrases about scienceD .to supply the children with lab equipment2.In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word

16、“l(fā)ists” could best be replaced by _.A. any questionsB .any problemsC .questions from textbooksD .any number of questions3. According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults _.A. ask them to answer quickly B. wait for one or two seconds aft

17、er a questionC .tell them to answer the next dayD .wait at least for three seconds after a question4. In which of the following paragraph(s)does the author tell us what to say to encourage children in a science discussion?A. The second and third.B. The fourth and fifth.C. The fifth and sixth.D. The

18、seventh.5. The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their childrens curiosity except that adults should _.A. tell their children stories instead of reciting(背誦)factsB. offer their children chances to see things for themselvesC. be patient enough when their childre

19、n answer questionsD. encourage their children to ask questions of their own CWhy does eating feel so good? The secret may lie in the head, not in the stomach, US researchers reported. Tests on rats show that the appetite hormone Ghrelin(釋放激素釋放肽) acts on pleasure receptors (感受器) in the brain. The fin

20、dings may help researchers develop better diet drags. “In mice and rats, Ghrelin excites the same neurons (神經(jīng)細(xì)胞) as delicious food, that is, neurons that provide the feeling of pleasure and the expectation of reward,” the researchers write in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. “These neurons are

21、 located in a region of the brain known as the ventral tegmental area (VTA), wrote the researchers, headed by Dr. Tamas Horvath of the Yale University School of Medicine in Connecticut. Horvaths team found that Ghrelin, which is only discovered in the last decade, acts on a molecular structure on br

22、ain cells called the growth hormone secret receptor or GHSR for short. When Ghrelin was put into this area of the rats brains, they ate as hungrily as they did after being kept hungry overnight, the researchers said. Ghrelin is produced in the gut (腸道) and causes the brain to promote eating. Several

23、 hormones are known to be involved in eating and appetite, and studies have shown that influencing them can affect weight gain in rats and mice. Influencing human eating behavior has proven far more difficult, however. Horvath said it might be possible to design a drag that interferes with GHSR and
