①A new study has shown how the color of a bowl can influence (影响) the taste ofthe food it holds.
②Although it is hard to say what a picky eater (挑食的人) is like, the type mayinclude people who have a limited diet，who have strong likes or dislikes for some food，whorequire food to be prepared in a special way or who aren’t willing to accept new food.
③According to this new study，food was put into two groups in red，blue，or white bowls.While the color made no difference in taste for non-picky eaters，the picky eaters reported changesin their taste senses based on the color of the bowl being used. Food in red and blue bowls wasthought to have more salt than that in white bowls，while food in red bowls was less pleasant thanthat in the other bowls.
④“This finding can be useful for those who want to try more kinds of foods，” says LorenzoStafford，a psychologist from the University of Portsmouth in the UK. “For example，if you wantto encourage a picky eater to try some bitter (苦的) vegetables，you can try to put them on a pinkplate or in a yellow bowl，because this can give him or her a sweet feeling.”
⑤At first it may seem strange that a bowl color can influence the taste of food，but theresearch before has shown how light and music can influence eating habits. All of our senses areconnected，including taste.
⑥“This new study can help in treating food neophobia—the unwillingness to try new food，”the team of the study says，and further studies will be needed to find out more relationshipsbetween colors and foods.
⑦“Through further studies，maybe we can decide ways to help actively influence a person’sdiet，and as a result，his health in mind and body，” says Stafford.

Water is important for all living things on Earth. The water cycle is a natural process thattakes water from the ground to the sky and brings it back to the Earth again. It is a cycle thathappens the whole year and is most active from March to June in China. In this article，we willlearn about the water cycle and discuss its importance for Earth.
The water cycle always begins with water vapour (蒸汽). When it’s hot outside，you can seeclouds forming in the sky. These clouds are made of water vapour that comes from the ground，plants and rivers. As water vapour rises into the sky，it cools down and becomes clouds. Afterthat，clouds travel through the sky and fall back to Earth as rain or snow. Then，water runsthrough rivers and oceans and finally comes back to the Earth again in different forms likerainwater or snow.
The water cycle is important in protecting our Earth’s climate. It provides us with water todrink and keeps our climate healthy. On top of that，it takes water from rivers and oceans andbrings it to the areas that don’t have enough water. Without the cycle，we would face manyproblems. When there is too much water in one place，it becomes a flood. When water is badly inneed，it becomes a drought. Besides，water vapour can take heat from the sun and keep our Earthcool. The water cycle is a natural process that keeps our Earth alive. It’s important for plants andanimals to drink water and for our rivers to stay flowing with water.

Just before midnight on July 31st, 1997, some skiers returning to their hotel in the village of Thredbo heard a huge sound. The frightened skiers rushed to where the noise came from and found that part of the hillside above the village had dropped down onto two buildings in which nineteen people had been sleeping.
As soon as the day broke，rescue workers began digging for people alive. They used hand tools because they were worried that machines might hurt anyone trapped under the rocks. For two days，rescue workers never stopped digging. On Thursday evening，they found the first body. The next day they found two more. They had almost given up hope of finding anyone alive when，at5:37 a.m. on Saturday，a special machine they were using found a small movement.
Immediately someone shouted to tell the workers to be silent. Everyone stopped talking，and no one moved. A fireman lay down over a hole in a large piece of concrete and shouted down，“Can anyone hear me ” “I can hear you，” came the reply.
Worried that their digging could start more rocks falling down the mountain，rescue workers began carefully taking away the rocks and dirt on top of the trapped man. By 10 o’clock，a small hole had been made. At 10:10 a.m.，rescue workers sent two tubes down through the hole，one carrying warm air and the other a warm drink. Then a microphone was passed through the hole so that they could talk to the man.
For the next seven hours，two workers talked to the trapped man while others slowly and carefully worked to free him. They found out that his name was Stuart Diver. By the time he was found，he was cold and hungry and had almost given up any hope of being rescued.
Finally，at 5:17 p.m. on Saturday，Stuart was pulled out. Rescue workers all over the hillside began shouting with joy. In thousands of homes，people were also cheering as they watched the rescue on their television.
1. When did the disaster happen
2. How did the rescue workers find Stuart Diver
3. Why did the rescue workers pass a microphone through the hole

5. What do you think of the whole rescue
