The scientific method is used for simple experiments that students may do in the classroom or very difficult experiments that scientists are doing all over the world. It is a way of thinking that helps you to avoid (避免)drawing incorrect conclusions（结论).
There are usually four steps in the scientific method, including observation (观察), hypothesis (假设), experiment, and conclusion. The steps may not always be completed in the same order, but the first step is usually observation and asking a question about your observation. For example, you had a sick stomach, and ate a candy. An hour later, you observed that you felt much better. Here, you can ask a question, such as, “What makes a sick stomach feel better ”
The second step is to state a possible answer to the question, or a hypothesis, such as “” A good hypothesis includes three things: The explanation for the observations, it is able to be tested, and it will usually predict new results or conclusions.
The third step is the experiment, to test the hypothesis. An experiment is a test which will either challenge or support the hypothesis. The hypothesis will then be true or false.
The final step is to think about what happened when you tested the hypothesis and draw a conclusion. The conclusion will either clearly support the hypothesis or it will not. If the results support the hypothesis, a conclusion can be written and you can share it with the rest of the world. If it does not support the hypothesis, you may choose to change the hypothesis or write a new one based on what was learned during the experiment.
( )28．Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the passage
A．How do the four basic steps in the scientific method work
B．What makes a good hypothesis based on the observation
C．The conclusion will always clearly support the hypothesis.
( )29．Which sentence should go in the empty box in Paragraph 3

B．It was the medicine you took an hour earlier that made you feel better.
C．Eat a candy again, and see what happens to your sick stomach.
( )30．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to (指的是)
A．The hypothesis. B．The conclusion. C．The question.
( )31．Which of the following sentences about the experiment is TRUE
A．An experiment is a test to always support the hypothesis.
B．An experiment does not have to be part of the scientific method.

阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
To Have A Not-to-do List
Like most people, you probably have a to-do list to help you finish a task. However, I would also suggest you make a not-to-do list. This list works well with the to-do list and it might be even more important. Let me explain.
This is Mike. He loves video games and plays them every day. But he also has an important exam coming up. So Mike puts studying on his to-do list. That day, Mike picked up the books and studied for half an hour. Then he took a short break and played some games. However, he got so into the game that he played for three hours.
The next day, Mike took on the challenge of studying in a different way. He decided to make a not-to-do list as well. And what he wrote down was: “No video games until 7:00 pm.” Mike went to study, did it for half an hour, and then took a break. However, he didn’t get on his computer like the day before because he didn’t allow himself to play at that time. Instead, he drank a glass of water. Then he returned to studying for three hours more on that day.
Mike realized that having no restrictions was the problem. He was always choosing between work and free time. Because enjoying himself was an easier choice, hardly any work got done as a result. So Mike made a not-to-do list.
Sometimes what you choose not to do matters more than what you decide to do. We shouldn’t just limit our “bad” behaviors but our “good” behaviors as well. For example, practicing the piano could be considered a good habit. But when you have other more important things in the moment, the piano becomes nothing more than a distraction. However, there’s one thing that should never end up on your not-to-do list. That is to learn something new every day.
56．Did a to-do list help Mike prepare for his exam well
57．What did Mike write on his not-to-do list
58．How long did Mike study the next day
59．According to Paragraph 4, what problem has Mike realized
60．What do you want to write on it if you have a not-to-do list
