The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are. You might find yourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it.Objects under water will appear larger than they would on the surface, too. Be careful not to tell any stories about the big fish that got away. That fish might not be so big after all! Its just because sometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water!Whats more, in deeper water, colors just dont seem as bright. In fact, it looks as if some colors are missing. Remember the color of an object results from the wavelengths（波长）of light that are reflected（反射）from its surface. And light is taken in as it moves down through the water.Swimmers wear wet suits to keep warm underwater. Lets take a bright red, yellow, and blue wet suit as an example. These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water. Watch carefully the changes in color as you descend in the water. The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths, the longest among these three colors, are missing. As you go down deeper, the same thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part. Even at a place of about 6 to 9 meters underwater, you will look terrible, like a ghost（鬼怪）! And you have to wait for your return to the surface to enjoy the bright colors again!26 . You miss the object underwater when you want to touch it because .Ayour eyesight is quite poorByou are not quick enoughCit is not as close as it seemsDit disappears very quickly27 . The example of the wet suit is used to explain the change of of an object underwater.Athe sizeBthe colorCthe positionDthe weight28 . The underlined word “descend” probably means in Chinese in this passage.A上升B漂浮C屏息D下潜29 . Which of the following is TRUE?AA four-meter-long fish looks three meters long underwater.BThe wavelengths of red light are longer than those of blue light.CMuch water will be taken in by the swimmer deep in the water.DYou will see a ghost if you go as deep as 6 to 9 meters into the sea.30 . The best title of this passage is .AThe Standard of Color UnderwaterBThe Direction of Light UnderwaterCThe Brightness of Color UnderwaterDThe Behavior of Light UnderwaterLets Learn More about Each OtherAre the lives of city kids the same as those in villages? In many ways, they are very different. But what are the differences?Hu Peng of Wuhan and four friends decided to find them out. Earlier this month, they lived for a week in Caidian, a village near Wuhan. Hu and his friends went door to door in Caidian and asked the kids there lots of questions. They wanted to learn more about village kids everyday lives, so they asked these questions like Do your parents teach you how to do housework? How much money do you usually spend on dinner? What would you do if a thief came into your house? They also asked 150 city kids the same questions.Whats the Difference?Last week the team gave a report to their class. There are lots of differences between childrens lives in cities and those in villages. The biggest difference is independence. Hus team said that 60 percent of city kids couldnt do much housework, but 90 percent of village kids could care for themselves.City kids told Hu they cared about school a lot, and they had no time for washing clothes or making their beds. Village kids said they helped their parents with housework a lot. They cooked, did some cleaning and fed animals. Hus team also found that village kids had less pocket money. Many never used computers. They played in rivers or on mountains. Some didnt really like to make new friends.Hu and his friends said their trip gave them more self-confidence because they were doing something by themselves. But it also made them a little worried because they saw they still had a lot to learn. “When we grow up, our parents cant take care of us,” said Hu. “We have to learn to take care of ourselves.” Shen Guanquan, one of Hus friends, said, “When children learn to care for themselves, they learn to do lots of things.”31 .
