Visit Hawaii!

Maybe the most beautiful place in Hawaii is Kauai. You can visit its long, sandy beaches in the south and west of the island, and mountains and forests in the north, but don’t be surprised if it rains in the centre of the island.

(B) 阅读短文,回答下列问题。

What is color? Why do some of the things around us look red, some green, others blue?

Colors are really made by deflected (反射) light. We see color because most of the things reflect light. In the same way, if something is green, it reflects most of the green light. If something reflects all light, it is white. If it doesn’t reflect any light, it is black.

Some of the light is reflected and some is taken in (吸引) and turned into (变成) heat (热能).The darker the color is, the less light is reflected, the more light is taken in. So dark-colored clothes are warmer in the sun than light-colored clothes.

( ) 1.When something reflects light, we can _____.

A. see its color B. see its heat C. not see its color D. see nothing

六、One possible version:

In the modern world, advertising is everywhere! Some people like ads and others hate ads. I think it offers some advantages and disadvantages.

Some ads are very useful. They can tell people how to compare two different products so that people can buy the better one. They can also help you save money.

However there are also some disadvantages. Some ads can be confusing or misleading. Sometimes the words sound good but don’t tell you anything real. So you have to be careful not to be cheated. We shouldn’t believe everything.
