In Los Angeles, a waiter served a group of teens. The waiter remembered his experience as a young high school student. So he made sure the teens had a pleasant experience at the restaurant. The waiter made sure of it.
After serving all the teens doing a great job, he was left a tip（小费）, only ＄3. 28. That was hardly enough to buy a drink at Starbucks.

Since we were new to all of this, reasonable（合乎情理）, but we had completely forgotten（and didn’t know, to be honest）what a tip even was, let alone how much to give. So we emptied our pockets, and all our money added up to $3. 28. Having no idea of how small this really was, we left. Later, we realized our mistake and felt terrible. We knew we had to make it right.

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 drawing incorrect conclusions.
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 bar. 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 outcomes 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.
33．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.

B．It was the medicine you took an hour earlier that made you feel better.
C．Eat a candy bar again, and see what happens to your sick stomach.
D．Ask people if eating a candy bar has made a sick stomach feel better.
35．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to (指的是)
A．The hypothesis. B．The conclusion. C．The question. D．The observation.
36．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.
C．An experiment is a test to either challenge or support a hypothesis.
D．An experiment is only used when scientists are trying to prove a hypothesis.

Big data (大数据) is a lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program. The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns(样本) in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources(来源), such as information that comes from schools, social media sites, companies and governments.

It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.
How can big data be used for good and bad things It is because the computer programs which is used to look at big data and understand it are written by people. People think in a certain way. Because they think in a certain way, they build a model of those ideas. These ideas are then used to look at the data. Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or businesses. Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people.

阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
One day, a farmer’s donkey fell into a dry well. The poor animal cried for hours before his owner finally found him. The farmer tried hard to pull him out from the well but failed. He felt very sorry for the donkey but after carefully thinking about the situation, he decided that he would not save the donkey. Since the donkey was too old and it was not worth the trouble of saving. So he invited his neighbours to help him bury (埋葬) the old donkey in the well so that it would make him end his pain.
Hearing many people coming to help, the old donkey was excited at first. As they began to scoop the dirt into the well with shovels (铲子), he soon realized what was happening. He felt very upset and cried sadly again. As the farmer and his neighbours continued throwing the dirt on his back, he suddenly had a good idea. Some time later, when the farmer finally looked down into the well, he was surprised at what he saw: every time the dirt landed on his back, he shook it off and took a step (步) up!
Soon, everyone was amazed when the donkey stepped proudly over the edge of the well and ran away quickly! It seemed that it would bury him at first, but it actually helped him later because of the manner in which he faced his trouble.
That is life! Just like the donkey, life is going to throw dirt on us, all kinds of dirt. As long as we face our problems in an active way, and refuse to give in to any trouble, each dirt is like a stepping stone with which we get out of the deepest wells. Never stop and never give up. Success is just on the way.
66．What did the farmer decide after carefully thinking about the situation
67．Why did the farmer invite his neighbours to help bury the old donkey in the well
68．How did the donkey’s feelings change in paragraph two
69．What did the donkey do when people threw the dirt on his back
70．What can we learn from the story （自拟一句话）
