26、You know that balloons must be kept away from sharp objects. They also needed to be kept away from flames. A fire can weaken the rubber and cause it to break. However, in this experiment you will find out how you can hold a balloon directly in a flame without breaking the balloon.
Materials needed:
● two round balloons not inflated(充气的)
● several matches
● water
Inflate one of the balloons and tie it. Place 1/4 cup of water in the other balloon, and then inflate it
and tie it. Light a match and hold it under the first balloon. Allow the flame to touch the balloon. What happens? The balloon breaks, perhaps even before the flame touches it. Light another match. Hold it directly under the water in the second balloon. Allow the flame to touch the balloon. What happens to this balloon? It doesn’t break.
Why does the balloon with no water break in the flame? The flame heats the rubber of both balloons. The rubber of the balloon without water becomes so hot that it becomes too weak to resist the pressure of the air inside the balloon. However, when the balloon with water in it is placed in the flame, the water takes in most of the heat from the flame. Then, the rubber of the balloon doesn’t become very hot, it doesn’t weaken, and the balloon doesn’t break.
Water is a particularly good absorber(吸收者) of heat. It takes a lot of heat to change the temperature of water. On the other hand, when water cools, it gives off a great deal of heat. That’s why areas near oceans or other large bodies of water don’t get as cold in winter as areas at the same latitude(纬度) further inland.
【1】 From the passage we can know the following aspects of the experiment except______.
A. method B. material
C. result D. time
【2】What does the underlined word “resist” in Para 4 probably mean?
A. add B. expand
C. bear D. form
【3】 When the flame reaches the balloon with water inside, ______
A. the rubber of it doesn’t become hot at all
B. the water in it begins to boil
C. the balloon breaks
D. the heat is mostly taken in by the water
【4】 The purpose of the experiment described in the passage is to prove that______.
A. water is a particularly good absorber of heat
B. some balloons can be easily broken, while others can’t.
C. balloons without water are not as strong as those with water inside.
D. the temperature is not up to the latitude.

28、Now it’s the perfect time to teach kids about growing things. Try one or more of these plant experiments for fun and learning.
Color carnations(康乃馨).
Fill a glass with water and color the water. Add a white carnation stalk(茎) and watch the plant become colorful as it “drinks” the colored water. This is a great, short experiment to show how plants absorb water.
Plant root vegetables.
Find out how root vegetables form underground by planting root vegetables in a clear container. First, fill the bottom of the container with small stones. Next, add potting soil and plant root vegetable seeds, trying carrots or onions, evenly. Keep the soil wet and enjoy watching the root form. Best of all, when the vegetable is done growing, you can eat it!
Study speedy sunflowers.
Sunflower seeds sprout(发芽) and grow quickly, making this the perfect flower for impatient children. These seeds can be started just about anywhere, even in a paper coffee cup or yogurt container. Kids love seeing the plant push its way out of the soil, wearing the seed’s outer part like a hat! Move your plant to a flower pot after it sprouts to observe the flower as it forms.
Make a grass basket.
