Scientists study the world and learn about things using a process called the scientific method (方法 ). By asking important questions and 11 the answers, it is possible to make amazing discoveries! Sometimes a scientist is 12 to answer his own questions, but if he has taken good notes, another scientist may come along later who is able to use new knowledge to answer it. When you use the scientific method to 13 an experiment, you start by making observations (观察) about something that 14 you. Based on your observations, you make a hypothesis (假设). This is using what you know to make a smart 15 about what you think could happen. Then you are ready to begin your experiment.

You may make discoveries that cause you to improve your experiment as you go.
17 you conclude your experiment and begin to look over your notes to decide what it all means. Based on what you have learned, you make a final statement about whether your hypothesis was 18 or not. You have to have 19 and evidence to support what you are saying.

Twenty-two years later, Oxford University asked James Murray to be the editor of its new dictionary. Murray had never been to 55 . At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank. 56 he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job, Murray had a small 57 in his garden to do the work. Every morning Murray got out of bed at five o’clock and 58 in the small house several hours before breakfast.

Why do you feel encouraged when your teacher gives you a smile How do you know your mother is 66 when she frowns (皱眉) In both cases, the person is telling us something not with 67 , but with facial expressions.
Facial expressions are one or more 68 on a person’s face, such as frowning, raising one’s eyebrows (眉毛), and nose and lip movements. They 69 people’s feelings.
Scientists at Oxford University have shown that humans have 80 muscles (肌肉) on their faces. These muscles can create more than 7,000 expressions on the face. However, there are six main kinds of facial expressions that are 70 in all cultures: happiness, sadness, surprise, fear, anger and disgust (厌恶).
Facial expressions are very important to 71 . One study at UCLA, in the US, showed that in most conversations, over 93 percent of the communicating is done without speaking.
If people can 72 facial expressions, they may be better at knowing what other people are feeling, so they can understand them better. Someone who does not 73 a certain type of food usually will make a face when they see or taste it. A frown can express people’s worry or anger 74 . Raised eyebrows and open eyes show 75 .
However, there are some taboos for reading people’s facial expressions. For example, it is not a good idea to stare at someone for a long time while reading his or her facial expressions. They may think you are rude.

People use sayings every day. You may ask an unhappy friend why she’s “feeling blue”. If you’ve done only a small part of a big job, you might call it “a drop in the bucket(桶)”.
These sayings don’t mean 76 what the words say. But it’s easy to tell why we use them. Blue is a cool, quiet color. So it’s a good word for “sad”. A bucket holds too many water drops to count 77 just one drop is very little.
Other sayings are more difficult to 78 . When you are about to go to bed, you are going to “hit the hay (干草)”. This saying does not make much 79 unless you know where it came from. It was first used in the 1930s. At that time, many Americans were out of 80 . Some went from place to place, looking for jobs. At night, they were very 81 . They often made a bed of hay in a field. As soon as their heads “hit the hay”, they fell asleep.
Here is another saying. When you are sick, you 82 say “You are under the weather”. But why This saying is more than 200 years old. It began in the days when many people went from place to place by boat. When the storm winds 83 the boat, people often felt sick. The boat was sailing (航行) “under the weather”. Old sayings like these can be hard for kids to understand. But new sayings 84 every day. Kids often understand new sayings better than 85 people do. That’s why your grandmother might not know what you mean when you say “chill out (冷静)” or “give me five”. She might think you’re “off your rocker”.

What is English for Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words. That’s wrong. Language is for exchange of ideas, for communication. The way to learn a language is to practice speaking it as 86 as possible. A great man once said 87 is necessary to practice as much as possible. And the 88 you use it in real situations, the more natural it will become.
Learning any language 89 a lot of time. But don’t 90 . Relax! Be patient and enjoy yourself. Learning foreign languages should be 91 . Rome wasn’t built in a day. Work harder and practice more. Your hard work will be rewarded (回报)one day.
Use a dictionary and a grammar guide constantly (不断地). Keep a small English dictionary 92 you all the time. When you see a new word, look it up. Think about the word — use it, in your mind, in a sentence.
Try to think in English whenever possible. When you see something, think of the English word, then 93 the word in a sentence.
Practice tenses as much as possible. 94 you learn a new verb, learn its different forms.
I would also like to learn more about the 95 behind the language. When you understand the cultural background, you can better use the language.
