It was very cold. It was snowing fast and almost dark; the evening—the last evening of the old year was drawing in. In the cold and darkness there went along the street a poor little girl, w1.a cap and shoes. When she l 2.her home she had shoes on . H3., they were much too large for her f4. ---shoes that her mother had used till then and the poor little girl l5.them when she was running across the street when two carriages(四轮马车) were p6.by terribly fast. When she looked for them, one was not to be found, and a boy hid the o7. and ran away with it, saying he would use it as a house for his mouse.
In the old c8. that she wore were boxes of matches, and she carried a box also in her hand. No one had bought so much as a box all the long day, and no one had g9.her even a penny.
Poor little girl, shaking with cold and hunger, she walked slowly, q10. and carefully along , a perfect picture of great unhappiness.
Every place offers the possible dangers for getting hurt, even staying at work. We may face dangers like walking into desks or chairs, receiving unexpected cuts from a paper knife and so on. Industrial jobs have similar and more dangers like getting body parts hurt by machines or falling from a height.
No one wants to get hurt. Some accidents are avoidable(可避免的). Most accidents happen because of common things seen every day—an open desk drawer, a chair pulled out too far, water on the floor and so on. We slowly get used to these things we see every day and never think about what they could possibly become in the future.
Think about the following to prevent dangers to yourself and others:
1. If there is something you see and know may become a danger for yourself or others, do something about it. Close a desk drawer, clean up or put a sign over the water, turn off the power before leaving, and so on.
2. Get extra persons’ help and support on a task that is too hard for a single person.
3. Study the situation and think what could possibly happen and change if necessary. Do it before something happens and you won’t have to say some day, “ I should have… How sorry I feel…”
To use an old phrase “ Safety is everyone’s duty.” Looking down on it could lead to being hurt. Keep the rule in mind every day “ Everyone wants to go home in the same condition the came to work in –or better.”

A recent survey of 2000 parents in Britain showed that they are often afraid of science questions asked by their curious children only because they have no idea what the answer is. Here is a list of some simple questions that you can ask your parents to see if they know the answers.
Q: Why is the sky blue?
A: You probably know white sunlight is made up of seven colors. While it moves in a straight line when going through space, it starts to divide as it hits “raised area” in the atmosphere. The ones with longest wavelengths pass through easily. The blue , however , can be taken in by the gas molecules (分子) because it has a shorter wavelength , which in turn scatters (使分散) it in different directions. That’s why when you look up at the sky, it appears to be blue.
Q:Why does the moon sometimes appear during the daytime?
A: The simple answer to that is because just like any other object it is being lit by the sun. As long as it is around 45 degrees or even 90 degrees off the sun, it will receive light and be able to be seen. The only time it is not able to be seen during its 28-day orbit (轨道) around the earth is when it is right between the earth and the sun. That’s because its back , which is not lit by the sun, is facing us.
Q: Where do birds/ honeybees go in winter?
A: While the bird part is quite easy, since a lot of them get together and travel, the honeybee part is likely to puzzle your parents. It turns out that these busy insects stop being that active when the temperature drops below 50°F. Instead ,they get together in the lower central area of the hive （蜂巢）and form a ball around their queen. This helps keep both warm enough to survive the cold winter months.
1.The sky looks blue mainly because the color blue in the sunlight_______.
A. has the longest wavelength among all the colors
B. cannot be taken in by the gas molecules
C. doesn’t hit “raised area” in the atmosphere
D. cannot pass through space successfully
2.How long can’t the moon be seen during the daytime in a month?
A. 2 B. 28 C.30 D. 31
3.What do honeybees choose to do when the temperature drops below 50°F?
A. They choose to be active in the wild.
B. They choose to keep themselves warm.
C. They choose to travel to a warm place.
D. They choose to get together in the upper central area of the hive.
4.What is NOT explained in the passage?
A. Why is the sky blue?
B. Why is the moon able to be seen during the daytime?
C. Why do birds travel in winter?
D. Where do honeybees go in winter?
