Can an egg bounce without breaking?Wait!Don't try it yet. Read what to do first.

You will need:           eggs, water, vinegar(醋)flashlight, glasses.

Rat's Helpful Hint     Don't do this experiment in a hot bath. The eggs will cook and get hard-bolled. Also, don't try this at the end of the week-eggs hate Fry-days.

Step 1 Put one whole uncooked egg in a glass of water.

Step 2 Put one whole uncooked egg in a glass of vinegar.

Step 3 The eggs are the same, aren't they? Now, leave them for a few days.

Step 4 Look at both eggs. The egg in the water remains the same, but the egg in the vinegar has started to fizz.

Step 5 Take the vinegar egg into a dark room, and shine a flashlight on it. The light will completely go through it. Drop the two eggs. The egg that sits in the water will break into pieces . while the vinegar one will bounce surprisingly high.

Step 6 Look carefully. Does the egg in the vinegar still have its shell? Touch it. It now feels and looks like a rubber(塑料) ball, doesn't it? Because the vinegar dissolves(溶解) the calcium carbonate(碳酸钙) in the shell.

When eight-year-old student Barry writes a story, it is usually about dinosaurs(恐龙) because they're cool. For 10-year-old Emily, fantasy(奇幻) books are her stories of choice while she has recently written such a story.

These are the kinds of ideas and storytelling skills that Australian writers are hoping to inspire(启发) in students getting on Russ the Story Bus,a traveling library that will make its way around schools in western Sydney and New South Wales for the next six weeks. It is one of a number of programs in the Children’s Festival of Moving Stories that started this week. The bus, which has been painted by artist Shaun Tan, has a library full of children's books that students can take home.

Traveling with the bus each week, will be a writer.James Roy, who has written books like Captain Mach and Billy Mack’s War, said much of his inspiration came from what he saw around him.“It's really easy to think that stories are all about heroes or people who can do great things,”Roy said.“But in fact a lot of the more important stories are kids’own stories and the things they try hard to deal with every day. I've been all over the world talking to kids about writing stories and it doesn't matter where you go... the same things worry them and the same things excite them.

This is the third year the Children's Festival of Moving Stories has been held and the first time that Russ the Story Bus will visit faraway schools. Along with the bus, writer talks will be held at libraries in western Sydney for students.

“The fact that we can visit the schools is good for the children who may come from families where English is a second language and they don't have many chances to read,”Clare Sawyer, head of children's programs , said.“We hope the bus can make them think more widely, to think about where stories come from and what stories they can make up for themselves.”

China's Mars rover(火星车) Zhurong, named after the Chinese god of fire, landed safely on Mars on May 15,making China only the second behind the United States to fully succeed.

The 240-kilogram, six-wheeled rover is equipped with six scientific instruments, giving it the appearance of a“blue butterfly”. Unlike Perseverance, the American Mars rover,Zhurong needs sunlight to power itself. Now that Zhurong has got down successfully, it is expected to spend the next 90 days mapping the area on Mars, monitoring(监测)

changes in weather such as temperature and searching for signs of water ice. Zhurong will therefore help build a more complete geo-logical picture of the red planet's history.

China has successfully landed on the moon three times,and has even brought back lunar rocks to Earth. But landing on Mars is even more difficult. Mars exploration is known for its high risks and difficulties, as well as the uncertainties in the long-distance interstellar(星际) fight. The landing is the most challenging part of it. Around half of Mars exploration missions(探索任务) failed, and most of the them went wrong in the landing process. A Mars landing is often considered as “the seven minutes of terror”because the process is completely autonomous.“The distance was too far away for the spacecraft so it has to do it all on its own,”said Chen Lan,a scientist in China’s space program.“If something went wrong, people on earth have no way to help.”

“Mars is the planet in our solar system that we are most likely to live in the future. That's why we want to understand it,”Ge said.“The success of Zhurong’s landing will lay the foundation for future Mars missions, including a sample return mission in 2030.”

61. What does Zhurong Rover look like according to the passage?

62. There are many jobs that Zhurong is supposed to do EXCEPT ____ .

A. map the Mars                          B. study the weather

C. change the temperature           D. look for water ice

63. What does the underlined word“autonomous”probably mean in the passage?

A. Self-directed.            B. Trusted.               C. Man-controlled.         D. Prepared.

64. Paragraph 3 is mainly about the ____of Mars exploration.

A. history             B. challenge                    C. distance             D. process

65. We can learn from the passage that____.

A. the American rover is powered like Zhurong                     B. the mission of Zhurong will last about 3 months

C. few Mars exploration missions succeed                             D. we are possible to move to Mars in 2030

There are patterns(模式) in how people make decisions.

A study by China's Zhejiang University looked at how people played the game. Researchers found two key patterns.   69____Losers usually went from rock to paper to scissors.

70____According to Baldwin,“ practice, practice,practice”is his key to success.“You can try playing against a recorded video of yourself throwing different hand symbols,”he says. Now as you know the secret, do you want to practice it to win more?
