The students were having their chemistry class. Miss Li was telling the children what water was like. After that, she asked her students, “What is water?” No one answered for a few minutes. Miss Li asked again, “Why don’t you answer my question? Didn’t I tell you what water is like?”
Just then, a boy put up his hand and said, “Miss Li, you told us that water has no color and no smell. But where to find such kind of water? The water in the river behind my house is always black and it has a bad smell.” Most of the children agreed with him.
“I’m sorry, children,” said the teacher, “Our water is getting dirtier and dirtier. That’s a serious problem.”
Answer the questions according to the passage. Why didn’t the children answer the teacher’s question at first?
Please use a sentence to describe what water is.

Do you think the boy who answered the teacher’s question is stupid?

It?s always hard to say goodbye to someone you love. In Washington DC, US, local (当地的) zoo-goers are sad about the news that their superstar panda Tai Shan is going to leave the National Zoo.
At a morning meeting on December 4, zoo director（主管） Steven Montfort said that the black-eared bear would be going off to China sometime over the winter, under an agreement（协议）with the Chinese government.
Tai Shan, whose name means “peaceful mountain,” was born at the DC zoo on July 9, 2005. He has been loved by zoo-goers since his first public show in December of that year.
But under the agreement that brought his mother, Mei Xiang, and father, Tian Tian, to the zoo from China, all three belong to (属于) China.
Tai Shan should have been returned to China when he was 2. But China gave him two extensions (延期) to stay at the National Zoo. Tai is old enough to breed (繁殖). So it?s time for him to come back to China and join a program to try to increase the panda population.
The National Zoo has tried to breed Mei Xiang a few times since Tai Shan was born, without success. Montfort said the zoo would try again soon in the hope of producing another baby panda. “We?re hopeful every year,” he said.Where can the passage probably be taken from?
| A．A dictionary. | B．A science book. |
| C．A newspaper. | D．A novel. |
The word “zoo-goers” mean people who ______
| A．live at the zoo | B．love to visit the zoo |
| C．work at the zoo | D．leave the zoo |
According to the passage, who is going to leave the National Zoo?
| A．Steven Montfort. | B．Mei Xiang. |
| C．Tian Tian. | D．Tai Shan. |
We can tell from the passage that ______.
| A．Tai Shan and his parents belong to China |
| B．Tai Shan first appeared in public in 2006 |
| C．Tai Shan’s parents will be sent to China |
| D．Tai Shan belongs to the US because it’s born there |
What does the National Zoo try to do every year?
| A．To make Tai Shan stay there. |
| B．To make Mei Xiang give birth to new babies. |
| C．To attract more people to visit Tai Shan. |
| D．To send Tai Shan and his parents back to China. |

If we find a bird nest, we will have a good place of observing(观察) and knowing about birds.
Birds sit on eggs and take care of their baby birds from April to June. Because the baby birds are too young to leave the nest, mothers often leave and come back to the nest during the time to look for food. So it is good to observe birds. When we observe birds, we’d better hide ourselves in a close place to the nest, and it’s better to use binoculars(双筒望远镜).
But how to make a bird nest? It’s very easy. If you want to make one, please follow these:
Making a nest: A good nest must be very fine, strong, thick and easy.
a) Each nest must have six boards. Don’t make the boards too slippery.
b) Dig a small hole in the front of the nest as a door. The “door” is from 3cm to 5cm. So the bird can fly in or out easily.
c) Make sure the rainwater doesn’t go into the nest.
d) One piece of the boards should be easy to open.
e) Please don’t forget to color the nest.The most important thing in observing birds is to ______.
| A．look for a place near the nest |
| B．climb trees |
| C．write down notes every day |
| D．make a bird nest |
When we're watching birds, we have to ______.
| A．look after the birds more often |
| B．use the binoculars to catch the birds |
| C．hide ourselves to make the birds do everything as usual |
| D．catch the birds at last |
We should leave a hole in the front of the nest so that ______.
| A．we can clean the nest |
| B．the birds can fly in or out |
| C．we can hang it easily |
| D．it’s easy to make |
