22、 washed and brushed their teethand combed their hair in the kitchen. Or they kept a water pitcher (大水罐)anda wash basin in their rooms and took care of these things there.The bathtub was a wash tub(澡盆)filled with water from the stove. If you were small enough you could sit down by drawing your knees

23、to your chest. Otherwise, you washed yourself standing up. Often all the women and girls in the family bathed together. Then the men and boys did. In most families this was Saturday night because Sundays they went to church.A small number of families did have running water. But that depended on whet

24、her there was a water system where they lived and on whether they could afford the plumbing(水管设施). Some people had bathtubs in their homes as early as 1895. But many others did not have their first bath in a bathtub until 1910 or later when they were fifteen or sixteen years old.56In the first parag

28、lling.It might seem strange that people still want to listen to instead of watching television, but this is an unusual art form whose time has come again, said David Amibrose, director of Beyond the Border, an international storytelling festival(节)in Wales.Some of the tales, like those of the Inuit

29、from Canada, are thousands years old. So our storytellers have come from distant lands to connect us with the distance of time. he said early this month.Two Inuit women, both in their mid 60s, are among the few remaining who can do Kntadjait, or throat singing, which has few words and much sound.The

30、ir art is governed by the cold of their surroundings, forcing them to say little but listen attentively.Ambrose started the festival in 1993, after several years of working with those reviving(coming back into use or existence)storytelling in Wales.It came out of a group of people who wanted to reco

31、nnect with traditions and as all the Welsh are storytellers, it was in good hands here. Ambrose said.61.

34、Greek soldiers sent messages by turning their shields(盾)toward the sun. The flashes reflected light could be seen several miles away. The enemy did not know what the flashes meant, but other Greek soldiers could understand the messages.Roman soldiers in some places built long rows of signal towers.

35、When they had a message to send, the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and enough soldiers with loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance.In Africa, people learned to send messages by beating on a series of large drums(鼓). Each drum was kept w

36、ithin hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats were sent out in a special way that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great speed for hundreds of miles.In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages. In thi

37、s way, a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions representing different letters of the alphabet. It was like spelling out words with flags and arms.Over a long period of time, people sent messages by all these different ways. However, not until the telephone was

38、invented in America in the nineteenth century could people send speech sounds over a great distance in just a few seconds.65.

39、atements is true?A Neither the Greek soldiers nor their enemy could understand the message.B African soldiers shouted from tower to tower to pass message.C Telephone was invented by a French engineer.D Only by using telephone could people send speech sounds quickly.67.

40、on sent messages.A in a special wayB over a very short distanceC by a musical instrumentD at a rather slow speed68. The way of communication made use of visible signs.A FrenchB RomanC AfricanD AmericanDBecause we can feel that things are heavy, we think of weight as being a fixed quality in an objec

41、t, but it is not really fixed at all. If you could take a onepound packet of butter 4, 000 miles out from the earth, it would weigh only a quarter of a pound.Why would things weigh only a quarter as much as they do at the surface of the earth if we took them 4 000 miles out into space? The reson is

42、this: All objects have a natural attraction for all other objects; this is called gravitational attraction, but this power of attraction between two objects gets weaker as they get farther apart. When the butter was at the surface of the earth, it was 4 000 miles from the centre (in other words the

43、radius(半径)of the earth is 4 000 miles). When we took the butter 4 000 miles out, it was 8 000 miles from the centre, which is twice the distance.If you double the distance between two objects, their gravitational attraction decreases(减少)two times two. If you treble(翻三倍)the distance, it gets nine times weaker(three times three). If you take it four times as far away, it gets sixteen times weaker(four times four)and so on.69. The best title for this passage is.A The Earth WeightB Weight in Space
