A
People have strange ideas about food. For example, tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable. It is one of useful plants that can be prepared in many ways. It has rich nutrition（营养） and vitamin in it. But in the 18th century, Americans never ate tomatoes. They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty. But they thought the vegetable was poisonous （有毒的）. They called tomatoes “ poison apples ”.
President Thomas Jefferson, however, know that tomatoes were good to eat. He was a learned man. He had been to Paris, where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes. He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden. The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup. This beautiful pink soup was served at the President party. The guests thought the soup tasted really good. They never thought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples. Jefferson never spoke to his honored guests about the fact. 41．After you read the passage, which of the following do you think is true?

C. because his parents told him so
D. from books

B. from France
C. people of his own country
D. men only
44．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?

B. All of the guest s thought the soup which was prepared by the President 's cook was nice.

It is natural that children are curious about the world around them. For example, they want to know how their hearts beat. They want to know why the ocean water tastes salty.
As children grow up, they become curious about different kinds of things. When they are babies, they are interested in the parts of their bodies and in the smiles of their mothers. They become interested in the physical
world around them: the plants, the animals, the sky. Later, they become interested in the things that people have made: wheels, bicycles, cars. And when they are adults, their curiosity continues. Sometimes this curiosity leads to a career （生涯、职业） in science.
Scientists spend their lives trying to find out about the world ．Those who work with the earth sciences study the earth, the oceans, and the skies. Other scientists who study living things work with the biological sciences. A third group of scientists study the physical sciences, e. g. physics, chemistry .
These scientists have already discovered a lot about our world ．For example, they tell us why your heart beats fast when you run. They say that when you are quiet, your heart normally beats sixty-five or seventy-five times a minute. Your heart is a pump （泵） that pumps blood to all parts of the body. The blood carries oxygen and nutrition. When you run, your muscles work very hard and use the nutrition that the blood carries to them. The muscles need oxygen, too . So your brain sends a signal to the heart. The signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygen. Then the heart beats fast and sends blood quickly to
the muscles. It may beat 90 to 140
times a minute.
Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “ Why does the ocean water taste salty scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls into cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask , “ What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year.
sure about the answer to this question.
We know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious.
45．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A ．People are curious in the same way.
B ．People in different countries are interested in different things.
C ．Men and women are curious about different things.
D ．People of different ages are interested in different things
46．Scientists who work with the biological sciences study __ .
A ．the earth , the oceans and the sky
B ．man-made things
C．plants and animals D．ocean water
47．When you run, your muscles need __ .
A ．more nutrition and oxygen B．more signals C．more salt D ．water
48．A rock cracks ___ .
A ．in wet regions
B ．in dry regions
C．at very high or very low temperatures D ．when salty water falls in
