sellers do. There is often wasted space when they store (贮存) watermelons, because round watermelons
do not sit nicely on shelves. So some clever farmers have solved the watermelon problem. They make their
watermelons grow in square glass boxes so the watermelons become square. The only problem now is the
price. The square watermelons cost about 80 dollars each.
Many people know the saying "Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you". Well, today
the poem needs to change to "Roses are red, roses are blue"! Australian scientists have just recently discovered
that when they put a chemical from a blue flower into a rose, they can create a nearly 100% blue rose. Some
of science"s inventions are beautiful, not just useful!
Since the mid-1990s, many Chinese farmers have had amazing rice harvests. For many years Chinese
scientists have been working on developing new kinds of stronger rice and now they have produced a new
kind, called super rice. Super rice not only can protect itself against insects (昆虫) and diseases, but it also
produces more than any other kind of rice. Today farmers can grow almost one and a half times more rice
than they could grow in the past.
Doctors might be able to use vegetables to fight cancer now. US scientists have discovered a way to put
a chemical into tomato plants while they are growing. When cancer patients eat the tomatoes, the tomatoes
will fight the cancer in their bodies. These cancer-fighting vegetables are not yet for sale, because scientists
have not finished testing them. If study finds no problems with the tomatoes, then patients can begin to use
this easy and delicious new treatment. | | 1. The square watermelons look like ____________. | A. B. C. D.  | | 2. __________ find a way to make blue roses. | A. Chinese scientists

D. interview | | 阅读短文，选择正确答案。 | When a terrible earthquake hit, many people were killed and many houses fell down. After the earthquake,
all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble.
One Sunday, when I was reading a newspaper, a special picture touched me. It gave the clothing sizes of
each family member. I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were
less lucky than themselves. I said to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old Meghan. "We
have so much, and these poor people now have nothing. We"ll share what we have with them.”
I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this, I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and
donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games
and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Lucy, her much-loved
doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys. "Oh, dear," I said. "You don"t have to give Lucy. You love her so
much." Meghan said, "Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she"ll make another little girl happy, too."
I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson. It"s easy to give something that we don"t
want any more, but harder to give what we cherish (珍爱), isn"t it? | | 1. The writer has _______ children. | A. one
