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.
23、 Most children don't enjoy doing housework. They like playing computer games rather than cleaning the rooms. But in Australia, Jim and Robert's mother, Mrs. Black, has good and proper methods to get their children to do housework.
Here is an example.
"Mom, have you worked out next week's housework? Let Jim and me choose the cards. I can't wait. It's fun!" When Robert shouted out, his mother had already put all the cards on their big table. On the cards, there are some words like these, "sweep the floor, clean your bedroom, help mom cook, wash vegetables, make beds, feed the fish, cut the wood, clean the bathroom" and many others. Jim and Robert chose two cards for each day from Monday to Friday. Then they would hang them on the weekday task board. Jim likes to clean the bathroom, so he picked up the card "clean the bathroom". Robert loves to make the bed so he picked up his favorite card. Jim again picked up "wash vegetables” and Robert chose "feed the fish". Soon the two boys were happy to take away all the cards.
To help the children do housework, their mother thought hard and came up with this idea. Of course, the parents did the housework on the weekends and left Jim and Robert two days free.
