Water Fireworks
What you need:
·water·oil·a fork·two clear glasses
·food coloring (食用色素), any color of your choosing
What to do:
Step 1: Fill a glass almost to the top with room temperature water.
Step 2: Pour 2 tablespoons of oil into the other glass.
Step 3: Add 2 drops of food coloring to the glass with oil.
Step 4: Stir (搅动) to mix the oil and the food coloring using a fork. Stop once you break the food coloring into smaller drops.
Step 5: Pour the oil and the food coloring mixture into the glass with water.
Step 6: Now watch! The food coloring will slowly go down in the glass, with each droplet expanding (拓展) outwards as it falls. It looks like fireworks.
How it works:
Food coloring dissolves (溶解) in water, but not in oil. So when you pour in your mixture of food coloring and oil, the oil will stay at the top of the water because it is less dense (密集的), and the food coloring will begin to dissolve once it goes down through the oil and into the water.

Our planet has many amazing places, and one of them is Vinicunca in Peru. Known as the Rainbow Mountain, it is famous for its bright lines of red, yellow, green, and purple. It is part of the Andes Mountains, the longest mountain range (山脉) on earth. At 5,200 meters tall, the Rainbow Mountain makes visitors feel like stepping into a magical world!
The colorful lines come from different rocks under the ground. For example, iron (铁) in the rocks turns red when it meets air, and sulfur (硫磺) makes the bright yellow lines. Over thousands of years, wind and rain slowly washed away dirt and ice, showing these colorful parts. Scientists say nature is like an artist! The colors also change with the weather—they look bright in sunlight and softer on cloudy days.
Before 2015, the Rainbow Mountain was covered in ice. When the ice turned into water because of warmer weather, the colors became perceptible. Now, many travelers visit it every year. But tourism can harm the mountain. To protect it, local villagers control the number of visitors and ask everyone to follow the rules, like taking rubbish home.
The Rainbow Mountain reminds us that the earth's wonders are both beautiful and easily harmed. Thus, everyone’s action matters: treating nature with respect, supporting (支持) local guides, and sharing its story can all help ensure this colorful wonder remains for the future.
26.What can we know about the Rainbow Mountain
A. It has three bright colorful lines.
B. It is the highest mountain range on earth.
C. Its color becomes brighter and brighter each year.
D. It is part of the Andes Mountains and over 5,000 meters tall.
27.What's the main idea of Paragraph 2
A. The reasons for the Rainbow Mountain’s colors.
B. Which colors look bright in different weather.
C. The importance of protecting the Rainbow Mountain.
D. How scientists study the rocks on the Rainbow Mountain.
28.What does the underlined word “perceptible” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Normal. B. Familiar. C. Noticeable. D. Dark.
29.What's the writer's purpose of writing the passage
A. To explain how weather harms mountains.
B. To describe the reasons for rock colors in nature.
C. To encourage people to visit the Rainbow Mountain.
D. To introduce a natural place and call for its protection.
30.What's the main theme of the passage
A. Science. B. Nature. C. Travel. D. Culture.
四、任务型阅读-简答：本大题共1小题，共10分。
31.Emotion Management
Emotions act as our body’s warning sign. Positive emotions help us stay healthy, but negative ones are bad for our health. Studies show that long-term stress or worry may harm the heart, stomach, and brain. And it even weakens the body’s immune system (免疫系统). For example, too much worry can cause stomachaches, and stress often makes people forget things easily.
Positive emotions work like a protective umbrella. Research shows that people with positive emotions may have better heart health. What’s more, happiness improves our immune system and helps reduce pain. Scientists have found that happy people get fewer colds and feel less sick when they do. This shows that positive emotions are good medicine.
Negative emotions can be like dark clouds in our minds, but don’t worry—there are ways to manage them. First, take deep breaths if you feel upset. This will help your body relax quickly. Next, do some sports like running or playing ball games to reduce stress. Besides, share your feelings with people you trust, like parents or close friends. They might have great ideas for you! Finally, listen to your favourite songs to be happy. These methods can help calm your mind and manage negative emotions well.
Just like cleaning up old photos helps your phone work better, managing emotions keeps your mind clear. Don’t hide your emotions. Learning to live with them well is the secret to health.

Last month, I felt really worried before the mid-term exam. I could hardly sleep well. Then I decided to go for a run after school. The fresh air and movement helped me calm down. I felt much better and thought more clearly. Finally, I did well in the exam.
In daily life, I also relax by listening to music and reading storybooks. These simple ways make me feel peaceful and happy. I believe a balanced life helps us study better and grow healthily.
