       Three kids have been learning chemistry for only a few months. But they have already begun to
challenge a world famous scientist!
       Li Weichi, Huang Runling, and Xiao Yan are from Zhongshan Huaqiao Middle School in Guangdong. They have just found a red cabbage that could be a new kind of acid-base indicator (酸堿指示劑). They want it to take the place of litmus (石蕊) paper.
       "We've learnt to think of and ask questions about life by ourselves," said Li, "We work well with each other."
       British scientist Robert Boyle discovered the use of litmus paper over 300 years ago. Now it is used widely in experiments all over the world.
       But when the kids did some experiments in class last winter, they saw that the litmus paper didn't turn very blue with base matter. It's hard to get a clear result.
       Will there be a better indicator than litmus paper? The three kids decided to try and find out!
       How? They went to collect over 40 plants in parks, gardens and markets. Then they ground (研磨)
leaves, flowers and stems (莖) to get the pigments (色素) from them.
       The kids mixed pigments with acid and base. They spent months watching carefully to see which
paper showed the best colour change. They decided it was the litmus paper!
       "It's our first scientific journey, Huang said, "But it makes me want to try harder."
1. Whom did the three kids want to challenge?
A. Their chemistry teacher.    
B. Their headmaster.
C. Robert Boyle              
D. Thomas Edison
2. From the text, a red cabbage is a kind of ____.
A. plant
B. animal
C. paper
D. liquid
3. What's the right order for the following sentences?
a. Three kids collect red cabbage everywhere.
b. The kids mixed pigments with acid and base.
c. The kid ground the red cabbage.
d. The kids get pigments from it.
A. a-b-c-d
B. b-a-c-d
C. a-c-d-b
D. b-c-d-a
4. What is widely used as the acid-base indicator now?
A. red cabbage            
B. litmus paper
C. any plant                
D. any flower  
5. The story mainly tells us ____.
A. how to make litmus paper    
B. about the three kids' spirit
C. scientist were wrong        
D. the kids are heroes

　　Can you understand this sentence?

My summer holidays were a complete waste of time．Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face．I love New York; it's great．

　　Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming the English language．Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students' writing．They fear the language could become corrupted(面目全非的)．

　　Everyone should just relax, say linguists(語言學(xué)家)．They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing．David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again．Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees．"People get better at writing by writing, " he says, “Kids who are now doing text messaging and e-mail will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents．"

　　Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception(例外)that young people are harming the language．And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way．Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become “corrupted”, and that they simply change to meet the new needs．

     Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher
in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication
found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language.So, what is
the "translation" of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we
used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love
New York; it's great. 　　
     Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming (破壞)the English language.
Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could
become corrupted (面目全非的). 　　
     Everyone should just relax, say linguists (語言學(xué)家). They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good
thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language
use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford
University, agrees."People get better at writing by writing," he says, "Kids who are now doing text messaging,
e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents." 　　
     Linguist James Millroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming
the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents,
they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become"corrupted"; they simply
change to meet the new needs. 　　
     However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard
English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get
across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their
future."
