21、   I ran into a stranger as he passed by. "Oh, excuse me, please" was my reply. He said: "Please, excuse me too; I wasn't even watching for you."

We were very polite, this stranger and I. We went on our way and we said goodbye. But at home a different story is told-how we treat our loved ones, young and old.

Later that day, when I was cooking the evening meal, my daughter stood beside me very still. When I turned, I nearly knocked her down. "Move out of the way." I said with a frown. She  walked away, her little heart was broken. I didn't realize how cruelly I'd spoken.

While I lay awake in bed that evening, my husband said to me, "While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy(彬彬有礼) you use, but the children you love, you seem to abuse. Look on the kitchen floor and you'll find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers she brought for you. She picked them herself: pink, yellow and blue. She stood quietly not to spoil the surprise, and you never saw the tears in her eyes." By this time, I felt very small, and my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt down by her bed. "Wake up, little girl," I said. "Are these flowers you picked for me?" She smiled: "I found them out by the tree. I picked them because they're pretty like you. I knew you'd like them, especially the blue."

I said: "Daughter, I'm sorry for the way I acted today. I should not have yelled at you that way."

She said: "Oh Mom, that's okay. I love you anyway."

I said: "Daughter, I love you too. And I do like the flowers, especially the blue."

Are you aware that: If you die tomorrow, the company that you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our work than into our families－an unwise investment indeed.

22、If I were to ask you to close your eyes and I gave you a piece of apple to eat，would you be able to tell me what it is just by tasting it？Of course，you could. Your tongue（舌头）helps you know what different foods taste like. Do you know that foods would taste different if you did not have a nose？

What You Need

☆a friend to help

☆small pieces of any food like carrot，orange，banana-whatever you have

☆small pieces of apples，raw（uncooked）potato and（if you are brave）onion（洋葱）

What You Do

There are actually three different experiments. You and your friend should take turns trying them on each other.

Experiment1:

Have your friend close her eyes and open her mouth. Give her a piece of the food and ask her to taste it. Then, ask her what she thinks it is. She will probably guess correctly.

Experiment2:

While your friend has her eyes closed, give her a piece of raw potato. At the same time, hold a piece of apple right under her nose. Ask her to eat the potato and tell you what she thinks it is. She will say it is a piece of apple! You can even do it the other way around, and she will think she is eating a potato, or, perhaps, she won't be able to name what she is eating.

Experiment 3:(for the brave)

Take a piece of raw onion. You don't have to close your eyes this time. Press your nose closed with yourother hand so that no smells can get into your nose. Now eat a small piece of the onion. Surprise! As long as you hold your nose, you will not be able to taste the onion.

The Science Secret

You already know the science secret. Your nose and your tongue work together to make food taste the way it does. Your tongue, however, can taste only certain flavors like salty, bitter, sour, and sweet. All of the other"tastes"are actually "smells", and you need your nose to taste them.

Oh, you might use this science secret the next time you are forced to eat something you don't like the taste of. If you hold your nose while you eat it, you won't"taste"it at all.

【1】According to this article, what could a person know about food?

A．People hold their noses to eat onions.

B．If you close your eyes, food will taste better.

C．People need a sense of smell to taste some food.

D．If you can smell potatoes, you will taste apples.

【2】What is the most probable reason Experiment 3 is called"for the brave"?

A．You have to eat a raw onion.

B．You keep your eyes open.

C．You have to hold your nose.

D．You do the experiment alone.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Knowledge comes from personal experience.

B．Team work helps us to find out science secrets.

C．We should have courage while doing experiments.

D．We can't draw a conclusion simply from the feeling.

【4】What's the passage mainly about?

A．Why different foods can smell the same.

B．How smell influences the way food tastes.

C．Why some things smell better than others.

D．How smell changes the way we see things.

24、News of an air crash in the north of England has just been received. The plane, which was on a charter (包机) flight from London to Carlisle, was carrying a party of businessmen on their way to a trade fair. It seems likely that the plane ran into a heavy fog as it neared Carlisle and had to circle for twenty minutes. Everything seemed to be going well. The pilot was in constant radio communication with Grand Control, when the engines suddenly went wrong and all contact was lost. The plane crashed on the site of the Roman camp at Hadrian’s Hill, a place well known to archaeologists (考古学家) and tourists.

So far few details have been reported, but it is feared that at least twenty people lost their lives, among them the pilot, who was killed at once. The local ambulance and firemen were on the scene within minutes of the crash, but additional help had to be rushed from other areas.

Mr. Lesilie? Collins told our reporter, “We passengers noticed the engines were making a funny noise. Of course we couldn’t see anything because of the fog, but the pilot said there was nothing to worry about. The next thing we knew, the engines went dead.
