4．There is a lot of talk these days about how kids should be interested in science．Here's an area of science for everyone，and these cool new books might inspire you to discover your inner scientist．
Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled by Catherine Thimmesh，58 pages，ages 9-12
    Seeing a picture or a model of a dinosaur，do you wonder how anybody knows what they look like？After all，nobody has seen a living dinosaur．This book explains how scientists and artists work together to re-create dinosaurs．As scientific discoveries have been made，the models have changed．Scientific tests may one day expose what a dinosaur's coloring was，but now artists have to use their imagination to determine how these huge creatures looked．
Beyond the Solar System by Mary Kay Carson，128 pages，ages 10-13
    This book takes readers back to the beginnings of space exploration-thousands of years ago，when people began star observation-and forward to today's search for planets in distant parts of the Milky Way．Along with history lessons，readers get 21 activities，such as making a black hole and creating a model of Albert Einstein's universe using a T-shirt．The activities are perfect for cold winter days．
Ultimate Bugopedia by Darlyne Murawski and Nancy Honovich，272 pages，ages 7 and older
    If you're always on the lookout for butterflies，this book is for you．Hundreds of color photos of common and unusual insects fill this hardcover．There are fascinating stories related to the photos．For example，do you know an insect feeds on the tears of Asian cattle？There's a question-and-answer section with an insect scientist and advice on how to help preserve endangered insects．
Journey Into the Invisible by Christine Schlitt，80 pages，ages 9-12
If you use a magnifying（放大的）glass，you know a leaf looks quite different．This book explains what microscopes do and then shows what happens to things around the house when watched with this amazing scientific tool．The bacteria in your mouth，when magnified 20，000 times，look a bit like swimming pool noodles．Fascinating photos are paired with suggestions about how to learn about the world around you，just by looking a little closer．

12．Recently，Pew Research Center announced that over a quarter of Americans have shared a selfie online．Unsurprisingly，the practice of photographing oneself and sharing that image via social media has （51）A among all age groups．Evidence of its mainstream nature is seen in other aspects of our culture too．Last year，"selfie"was not only added to the Oxford English Dictionary，but also named Word of the Year．
Yet，despite the huge number of people practicing it，（52）B is also surrounding selfie．An assumption that sharing selfies is embarrassing runs throughout the journalistic and scholarly coverage on the topic．Negative words like"self-centered"and"（53）C"have inevitably become a part of any conversation about selfies among scholars．
But，over a quarter of all Americans are relying on it．Why？The usual reasons given by scholars-self-center and fame-seeking-seem too （54）D to explain such a crowd acting．There is always more to a social cultural practice than what （55）A．
Simply put，physical and digital technology make it possible．The idea that technology （56）C the social world and our lives has been recognized by people．To some extent，world is shaped by technological revolutions．The selfie is not a（n） （57）B form of expression．Artists have created self-portraits for centuries，from cave to oil paintings，to early photography and modern art．People are （58）D their feelings and thoughts through certain media．What's original about today's selfie is its public popularity．Technological advancement （59）A the self-portrait used to be restricted to the art world and gave it to the masses．Those digital front-facing cameras，social media platforms，and wireless communications conveniently available  make selfie a job （60）B any time anywhere．
Besides，We are not （61）A beings living by ourselves．We are social beings who live in social communities，and as such，our lives are fundamentally formed by social relations with other people．As photos meant to be （62）B，selfies are not individual acts； they are social gestures．Selfies，as well as our presence on social media generally，are a part of"identity work"--the work that we do on a daily basis to （63）C that we are seen by others as we wish to be seen．In fact，the crafting and display of identity has long been understood as a social process．The selfies we take and show are to present a （64）D image of us so as to become a part of our identity formation and（65）D．

51．A．floweredB．returnedC．imposedD．functioned
52．A．negotiationB．criticismC．regretD．punishment
53．A．self-containedB．self-evidentC．self-absorbedD．self-financed

9．Last spring，members of Alaska's Troop 34，based in Fairbanks，trudged （跋涉） out into the snowy wilderness to take part in their state's Take a Kid Trapping program．In many parts of the state，beavers （海貍）are pests and need to be controlled．
The 10-to-12-year-old girls found out where beavers lived，set traps，and skinned the two animals they caught．The girls hope to catch ten more beavers so that the entire troop can make mittens and hats with the fur．They also want to cook beaver meat．
Troop leaders and members say the Scouts are doing a good deed by helping control the state's beaver population．But animal-rights activists say trapping is cruel．They want the Girl Scouts to stop in their tracks．
Beavers aren't only causing a problem in Alaska．Residents in Sampson County，N．C．，have turned to a local committee to help them battle the growing beaver population there．
County landowners are frustrated after the county spent more than  50，000 in eight years trying to reduce the beaver population through a government program．The joint state and federal program included paying money to trappers for every beaver carcass  they trapped．
Many local residents say that the program didn't work because there were too few trappers．That's why the county set up its own committee to investigate other ways to control the area's beaver population．
The county will rely on its own beaver-trapping program．It has hired a trapper to set traps in various areas．The county will pay 10 for every beaver carcass．
Why do many people say that beavers are a nuisance？For beavers to survive，they need lots of water．Water provides the large rodent （嚙齒動物）with a place to hide from meat-eating animals．Beavers also store food underwater for the winter．When there's not enough water in a particular area，beavers get busy building dams．
Beaver dams can cause major flooding and damage to the surrounding countryside as the animals cut down trees to use in their construction projects．Beavers build canals to transport heavy objects．
59．What is Alaska's Troop 34？C
A．A team of the Boy Scouts．
B．An army．
C．A team of the Girl Scouts．
D．A sports team．
60．Why does the troop hope to catch ten more beavers？C
A．To fulfill their task．
B．To sell them for money．
C．To get enough fur．
D．To exchange them for mittens and hats．
61．Which of the following statements is true？A
A．Sampson County has to find a new way to control the beaver population there．
B．The government program in Sampson County has proved to be a success．
C．The local government has controlled the number of beavers in the County．
D．More and more trappers now start to set traps in Sampson County．
62．Local residents hate beavers because they canD．
A．cause damage to dams
B．block up canals with heavy objects．
C．do great harm to construction projects．
D．badly damage the environment and cause floods．
