Remember，too，that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you．The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease but the situation is somewhat different from that of a ordinary conversation．You must take special care that you can be heard．

Sri Lanka is known as the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean”, and it is easy to see why. This little country never fails to please visitors.

Arrive

The national airline is Sri Lankan Airlines, which flies from Colombo to London and a couple of other European cities. The country’s main airport is Colombo Bandaranaike, located 29km north of the capital city.

Why now?

The best time to visit Sri Lanka’s southern beaches is from November to April. So by going early in the season, you’ll get the best weather. Also in November, Deepavali, known as “Diwali” or the “Festival of Lights”, is Sri Lanka’s main religious festival, celebrated throughout the country.

See

There is plenty to see in Sri Lanka. The ancient capital cities of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura are worth seeing, and so are many outstanding ruins. Other mustsees are the rock fortress （要塞） of Sigiriya, towering over the jungle as far as the eye can see, and Dambulla’s cave temple, the country’s largest and best preserved. Both are UNESCO World Heritage （遗产） Sites. Kandy is a picturesque town, which was the last stronghold of the Kandyan Kings. Today it is a cultural relic centre where ageold customs, arts, and crafts remain.

Sri Lanka owns about 1,600km of beautiful palm-shaded beaches as well as warm, pure seas and colorful coral reefs （珊瑚礁）. You can explore the underwater world, and surfing and diving are available too. Away from the shore, wildlife is a big draw for Sri Lanka, and Yala National Park is one of the best places in the world to see wild animals including leopards （豹） and elephants.

Taste

Sri Lanka is celebrated for its excellent food, with a particular emphasis on fresh fruit and vegetables on menus everywhere. Fish and seafood are a big part of the local diet.

Did you know?

Sri Lanka is known for its tea, but it is also the world’s largest producer and exporter of cinnamon（肉桂）.

9. Which of the following is a cultural relic centre of Sri Lanka?

A. Kandy. B. Anuradhapura C. Polonnaruwa. D. Colombo.

10. If you want to know something about “Diwali”, you’d better go there in .

A. September. B. October. C. November. D. May.

11. We learn from the passage that Sri Lanka .

A. is in the Pacific Ocean B. is famous for its excellent food

C. is the world’s largest producer of tea D. has only flights to London

12. The author wrote the article in order to .

D. let people get more travel information about Sri Lanka

What makes a person a scientist？Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others？The answer is “no”．It isn't the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools which makes him a scientist．You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter．You will probably agree，too，that knowing how to investigate，how to discover information，is important to everyone．The scientist，however，goes one step further；he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer he gets to many questions is into a large set of ideas about how the world works．

The scientist's knowledge must be exact．There's no room for half right or right just half the time．He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit．What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times．If the conditions are different，any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions．

This is one reason why investigations are important in science．Albert Einstein，who developed the Theory of Relativity，arrived at this theory through mathematics．The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigation．Einstein's ideas were proved to be correct．A scientist uses many tools for measurements．Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations．

13．What makes a scientist according to the passage？

A．The tools he uses． B．His ways of learning．

C．The way he uses his tools． D．The various tools he uses．

14．“…knowing how to investigate，how to discover information，is important to everyone．”The writer says this to show_______．

A．the importance of information

B．the difference between scientists and ordinary people

C．the importance of thinking

D．the difference between carpenters and ordinary people

15．What is the main idea of the passage？

A．Scientists are different from ordinary people．

B．The Theory of Relativity．

C．Exactness is the core of science．

D．Exactness and way of using tools are the keys to making of a scientist．

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

One of the first questions young children ask is “Why?” It is human nature to want 41 (find) out why things are the way they are. You can find out “Why” by turning the question into a hypothesis (假设) for 42 experiment.

The first step would be to place different-colored strips of cloth around all of the plants except one. Then, as regular intervals, you would observe and record and note 48 the plant had any insect damage or not.
This experiment may prove that the answer to your question is “No, it is not different-colored strips of cloth 49 keep away insects.” Or you may find that answer is “Yes, certain insects are kept away by blue cloth, but not yellow cloth.” ...... 50 you have found, you are well on your way to understanding how you can use scientific thinking to solve a problem in you own life.
