Ask people what they know about the Dead Sea and most will tell you that it's impossible to sink( 下沉)when you are swimming in it. But not everyone knows why. Kids News researched the Dead Sea and found some interesting facts.

The Dead Sea is an inland lake 75 kilometers long by 15 kilometers wide in the Middle East between the West Bank and Jordan. The Jordan River is the main source of the Dead Sea water. It is about 430 meters below sea level, the lowest point on the surface of the Earth. The water level has been dropping even lower for the past 60 or 80 years. It drops about 1 meter ea ach year.

It's a popular place for people to have a holiday, partly because it's in the desert, which means lots of hot, sunny days.

It's called the Dead Sea because it is full of salt. The Dead Sea water is perhaps 10 times as salty as open ocean seawater and nothing much can live in it. Exactly how salty it is changes through the depth(深度) of the lake and with how much water is flowing in(流入) from the Jordan River and how much water is evaporating (蒸发).

The water of the Dead Sea is full of salt, which makes it much denser(密度更大) and heavier than freshwater. If you swim in it, you float(漂浮) very easily.

11. Which of the following is RIGHT?

A. Few things can live in the Dead Sea.

B. Few people go to the Dead Sea for a holiday.

C. The Dead Sea is famous mainly for the hot weather.

D. The Jordan River is about 430 meters below the sea level

12. What does the underlined word “source” mean in Chinese?

A.资源   B.能原    C.来源    D.污染源

13. What is the best title for the passage?

A. The water level of the Dead Sea is lower now

B. Hot weather makes the Dead Sea much saltier

C. The Dead Sea becomes saltier with less freshwater

D. Why can't people sink when they swim in the Dead Sea?

B

Want better odds(几率)? Some people believe that finding a heads-up penny is good luck, The odds that a found penny will be heads up are one in two.

Good- luck seekers(探求者) can also break a wishbone(叉骨，如愿骨). Two people hold a wishbone，make a wish,then break it. It is said that the person who gets the bigger piece will get his or her wish. The odds of getting the bigger piece are one in two.

According to Irish tradition, finding a four leaf clover(三叶草) will bring you good luck. But just how hard is it to find one? For every ten thousand clovers you look at,the odds are that one of them will have four leaves instead of three.

When I was a kid, I once found a four leaf clover in our backyard. I knew that four-leaf clovers are rare(稀有的),but I didn't know how "lucky" I was to find one until I read What Are the Odds? If I had known. I might have been more careful with it. I lost it soon afterwards ----along with a lucky key chain and a lucky coin.

It's fun to pretend(自称) that things like four-leaf clovers can bring us good luck. But I believe that we make our own good luck with hard work. Sometimes our hard work leads to success in ways we don't expect. And often we are "lucky" when someone else takes the time to give us the help we need.

It's fun to find a four-leaf clover and hope for good luck. But it's more fun when we work hard and do our best and when we lend a helping hand to others-- we can make true magic.

14. The odds of finding a four--leaf clover are________

A.1 in 2      B.3 in 4      C.1 in 1 ,000      D.1 in 10,000

15. What was the writer's attitude to the four leaf clover she found when she was a kid?

A. She treasured it very much.

B. She didn't care about it at all.

C. She didn't take it too seriously.

D. She didn't know what to do with it.

16. How can we get our own good luck in the writer's opinion?

A. By working hard.

B. By finding a heads-up penny.

C. By finding a wishbone.

D. By finding a four-leaf clover.

17. This passage is probably written for_______

A. coin collectors     B. gardeners     C. pupils     D. Irish people
