Look at the centre circles of Diagram (图) A and Diagram B. Which of the centre circles looks larger
Take a first look and you probably think that the centre circle in Diagram A is smaller than that in Diagram B. In fact, they are exactly the same size.
Then look at the picture on the left. What do you see A vase Or two faces Does the picture change quickly from one to the other again and again Maybe or maybe not, but you can never see them at the same time.
“What’s happening Is something wrong with my eyes ” You may wonder at what you see. Don’t worry. Here is how it goes:
When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains and then our brains interpret (解读) the information. However, sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way. It seems that our eyes are playing a joke on us. This often happens and we call it “visual illusion(视觉错误)”.
Movie makers often make use of illusions. They make the objects around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. The movies Jurassic Park and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids just make use of illusions.

B. To make the actors much braver.
C. To help the actors become stronger.

四、阅读理解。
If I ask you to shut your eyes and give you a piece of apple to eat, would you be able to tell me what it is just by tasting it Of course, you could. Your tongue is covered with tiny “taste buds” which help you know what different foods taste like. Do you know that foods would taste different if you did not have a nose This experiment shows how important your nose is when you taste things.
What You Need:
a friend to help
small pieces of any food like carrot, orange and banana
small pieces of apple, raw (生的) potato, and onion
What You Do:
There are actually three different experiments. You and your friend should take turns to try them on each other.
Experiment 1:
Have your friend close her eyes and open her mouth.
Give her a piece of the food and ask her to taste it.
Then, ask her what she thinks it is. She will probably guess correctly.
Experiment 2:
While your friend has her eyes closed, give her a piece of the raw potato. At the same time, hold a piece of apple right under her nose. Ask her to eat the potato (but don’t call it by name) and tell you what she thinks it is. She will say it is a piece of apple!
Experiment 3: (for the brave)
Take a piece of raw onion. You don’t have to close your eyes this time. Squeeze your nose closed with your other hand so that no smells can get into your nose. Now take a nibble of the onion. Surprise! As long as you hold your nose, you will not be able to taste the onion.
The Science Secret
You already know the science secret. Your nose and your tongue work together to make food taste the way it does. Your tongue, however, can taste only certain flavours like salty, bitter, sour and sweet. All of the other “tastes” are actually “smells”, and you need your nose to “taste” them. Oh, and you might use this science secret the next time you are told to eat something you don’t like the taste of. If you hold your nose while you eat it, you won’t “taste” it at all.
( )1. According to this article, what could a reader know about food
A. People hold their noses to eat onions.
B. If you can smell potatoes, you will taste apples.
C. People need a sense of smell to taste some food.
D. If you close your eyes, food will taste better.
( )2. What is the most likely reason why Experiment 3 is called “for the brave”
A. You keep your eyes open.
B. You have to eat a raw onion.
C. You have to squeeze your nose.
D. You do the experiment alone.
( )3. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Your Eyes Know
B. Your Nose Knows
C. Your Mouth Knows
D. Your Tongue Knows

4. We can't see ____(some) stars in the day.
5. When he ____(come) back, I'll tell him the news.
三、阅读理解。
If you look at the sky one night and see something moving and shining that you have never seen before, it might be a comet (慧星).
A comet sometimes looks like a star. Like a planet, a comet has no light of its own. It shines from the sunlight it reflects (反射). Like the earth, a comet goes round the sun, but on a much longer path than the earth travels.
If a comet isn’t a star, what is it then
Some scientists think that a large part of a comet is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock. When sunshine melts (融化) the ice in the comet, great clouds of gas go trailing after it. These clouds, together with the dust, form a long tail.
Many people perhaps have seen a comet. However no one knows how many comets there are. There may be millions of comets, but only a few come close enough for us to see.
An Englishman named Edmund Halley, who lived from 1656 to 1742, found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky. Some comets move out of our sight and never come back. Others keep coming back at regular times. A big comet that keeps coming back was named after Halley because he was the one who worked out when it would come back again. Maybe you have ever seen Halley’s Comets because the last time it came close to the sun and the earth was in the year 1986. Then people all over the world were outside at night to look at it. You will probably be able to see Halley’s Comets when it comes near the earth again.
( )1. A comet is like _______.
A. sun B. moon C. sunlight D. the earth
( )2. A large part of a comet is _______.
A. water and rock
B. water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron
C. ice, iron and rock dust
D. only a few big pieces of rock
( )3. Some comets keep coming back _______.
A. at any time B. at noon C. at regular times D. at daytime
