“Broom(扫帚) challenge” has become a hot topic on the Internet recently. The challenge is to make a broom stand on its own without any support. Many people shared videos and photos of brooms standing. Even some famous stars, such as Canelo Alvarez, Jason Derulo, Tory Lanez and DJ Khaled took part in the challenge.
People in the challenge said that according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA)(美国国家航空航天局), the earth's rotation(旋转) would be “in perfect balance” on February 10 and it would be possible for a broom to balance standing up.
In fact, brooms standing on a special day is just a hoax. We can't find anything from NASA to support the challenge. But as with many things on the Internet, people ran with it. But the truth is, you can make a broom stand up today and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and the day after that. It has nothing to do with the earth's gravitational pull(引力) on a certain day. It also has nothing to do with the vernal equinox(春分) (another day of the year when this “magic” supposedly happens).
NASA astronaut Alvin Drew and scientist Sarah Noble replied to the challenge, saying that this is a basic physics problem and will work every day of the year, not just on February 10. Brooms can stand up on their own if balanced properly on the bristles(刷毛).
( )26.What does the first paragraph mainly tell us
Broom challenge is just an interesting trick.
B.Many people are interested in broom challenge.
C.The reason that a broom can stand on its own.
D.How to make a broom stand on its own.
( )27.What did people think made the broom stand at first
A.A certain mysterious force in nature. B.The perfect balance made by the earth's rotation.
C.The weight of the broom. D.The gravitational pull of other planets near the earth.
( )28.When can we make a broom stand
A.On February 10. B.On the vernal equinox.
C.On any day. D.On NASA's workdays.
( )29.In fact, what does brooms standing have to do with
A.The earth's rotation. B.The earth's weight.
C.The balance. D.The types of brooms.
( )30.What does the passage want to tell us
A.NASA's new discovery about balance. B.A hoax about brooms standing on their own.
C.Ways to make a broom stand on its own. D.A famous story that is from NASA.
六、七选五
You arrive at the mall anxious to buy your favorite CD or the coolest computer game. Nothing will stop you, not even the price—even if you don't have enough money, Mom or Dad will use a credit card(信用卡) to pay. But wait! Is using a credit card really that simple There are some things you should know about using credit cards before you go shopping.
31．________ Credit card companies lend you money, which you are expected to pay back. They don't lend you money just to be nice, however. In fact, they make billions of dollars this way.
You spend 45 dollars buying a pair of jeans on a credit card, then about a month later, the credit card company sends you a bill for 45 dollars. 32.________ But what if you can't pay the whole bill Usually, you are allowed to pay part of it. Let's say you pay $10 the first month. Now the credit card company begins to get money from you. They charge extra money, called interest(利息), on whatever part of the money you didn't pay.
Now the $35 you still have on your bill begins to grow. Even if you don't buy anything more, by the time you get your bill the following month, you will owe(欠) more than $35. And every day, interest keeps adding up. 33.________
But the good news is that a credit card is convenient. 34.________ Besides, the credit card companies also offer extra services. For example, if something you bought online with your card stops working in a short time, the company may give your money back.
35．________ They spend more money than they can afford to pay back. Knowing how to use credit cards wisely will be necessary and help you to be a smart shopper.
A．It is sometimes the only way to pay when you shop over the Internet. B．You'd better borrow money from friends instead of using a credit card. C．Using a credit card is a way of borrowing money to buy things. D．Some people get themselves in trouble with credit cards. E．If you pay the whole 45 dollars back right away, it won't cost you anything. F．So actually those jeans will end up costing you more than $45. G．I always believe money is not everything.
