26、The symbol of Paris, the Eiffel Tower opened to the public on March 31, 1889, and its beauty has continued to spellbind the world for 130 years. But some little-known facts about the Eiffel Tower may surprise you. We've put together a list.
It's the world's most visited paid tourist attraction
Almost seven million visitors each year pay the admission fee to visit the Eiffel Tower, Since it opened in 1889, nearly 300 million people have experienced the tower.
There’s an apartment at the top
A personal apartment that Gustave Eiffel used as an office was created at the top of the tower. Eiffel entertained many important persons there, and today visitors to the apartment will see it as it looked in Eiffel's day, with life-like wax models (蜡像)of Eiffel and Thomas Edison.
You could send a postcard by balloon from the Eiffel Tower
During the 1889 World's Fair, visitors could buy a commemorative (纪念)postcard that was attached to a balloon and a small parachute (降落伞).Visitors would write an address on the postcard and release it into the air from the tower. The postcard would fall back to earth gently due to the parachute, but it's not known how many of these postcards ever made it to their intended addresses.
19th-century elevators are still in operation
Two of the original elevator cars are still functioning in the Eiffel Tower elevators that go to the third floor in the east and west pillars (铁柱).The equipment has been updated, but it is basically the same technology that was used more than a century ago.
【1】What do you know about the apartment at the top?
A.It was used as Eiffel's office.
B.It used to be a public apartment.
C.It sells wax models of Eiffel and Edison.
D.It only provides service for important persons.
【2】What is special about sending the postcard?
A.The symbol.
B.The fee.
C.The way.
D.The time.
【3】What is the text intended to do?
A.To update the equipment.
B.To show some interesting stories.
C.To explain the amazing history.
D.To share some little-known facts.
27、Going to outer space is a little like going camping. You have to carry with you all the food and equipment you need for your trip, so your food can’t be too heavy or hard to prepare. 【1】 Food with all the water dried out is lightweight and doesn’t spoil. So, many space foods are dried on Earth and stored in special packets.
On Earth, gravity is the force that keeps your feet on the ground and your sandwich on your plate. 【2】. To keep food from floating away, astronauts on the Space Shuttle attach the packets to a special tray. The tray can be fixed to a wall or to the astronaut’s lap. To prepare their food, astronauts use liquid forms of salt and pepper. The liquid sticks to the food better. Regular salt and pepper would float away, maybe up an astronaut’s nose. Achoo!
【3】. So astronauts drink everything from a small bag with a straw (饮料吸管) that can be closed. Astronauts say that most space foods taste pretty good.
Some, such as apples and pudding are the same as the foods you eat on Earth. Astronauts eat tortillas (玉米粉圆饼) instead of bread because they make fewer crumbs(碎屑). 【4】.
Your body uses food in space the same way it does on Earth. 【5】. During take off and landing, astronauts can’t leave their seats to go to the bathroom. They wear diapers (尿布) under their spacesuits instead. The Space Shuttle has a bathroom the size of a small closet. The toilet has bars that keep astronauts from floating away. A strong flow of air is used instead of water to flush waste down the toilet. Back on Earth it’s flushed away—or sometimes studied by scientists.
A.But there’s no gravity in space
B.Liquids float right out of cups and glasses
C.Your body must get rid of waste in space too
D.Crumbs can not be dealt with in outer space
E.In addition, everything seems to be different in outer space
F.Besides, there are no refrigerators to keep food cold and fresh
G.With them floating, they could get stuck in equipment or an astronaut’s eye
28、We live in a modern world with virtual capabilities so that we can virtually visit some museums from the comfort of our sofa.

29、 Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
【1】According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?
A. Those who often do sports.
B. Those who often walk to school.
C. Those who often watch television.
D. Those who often have meals at home.
【2】What does the underlined word "steering" in the last sentence most probably means?
A. Moving B. Forcing.
C. Driving D. Guiding.
【3】The main purpose of the text is to ____.
A. tell a story B. provide facts
C. give advice D. compare opinions
