We do not know when man first began to use salt, but we do know that it has been used in many different ways throughout history. Historical evidence shows, for example, that people who lived over 3,000 years ago ate salted fish. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, salt was used to preserve (保存) the dead.
Stealing salt was considered a major crime (罪行) during some periods of history. In the eighteenth century, for example, if a person was caught stealing salt, he could be put in prison and his ears could be cut off.
In the Roman Empire, one of the most important roads was the one that carried salt from the salt mines to Rome. Guards were stationed(安置) along the route to protect against salt thieves, and they received their pay in salt, thus bringing the English word, salary. Any guard who fell asleep while on duty was thought to be “not worth his salt”, and as a result he would get a little less salt on his next payday. The expression, “not worth his salt”, is still used today in English.
In the modern world salt has many uses beyond the dining table. It is used in making glass and airplane parts, in the growing of crops, and in the killing of weeds (杂草). It is also used to make water soft, to melt (融化) ice on roads and highways, to make soap, and to fix colors in cloth.
Salt can be got in various ways besides being taken from mines underground. Salt water from the ocean, salt water lakes or small seas can be used to make salt. Yet, no matter where it comes from, salt will continue to play an important role in the lives of people everywhere.
1.According to the text, salt can be used in the following EXCEPT _____.
A. keeping dead bodies
B. punishing thieves
C. protecting crops
D. making industrial products
2.In the Roman Empire many people were employed as guards to _____.
A. protect the city of Rome
B. watch people carrying salt
C. prevent thieves from stealing salt
D. carry salt from the mines to Rome
3.The expression “not worth his salt” used today refers to the one who _____.
A. fails to do his work well
B. should not be paid in salt
C. doesn’t want to work at all
D. should use less salt
4.The main purpose of the text is to tell readers _____.
A. how salt was found and got
B. salt is important in people’s life
C. salt was difficult to get in the past
D. what salt brings to the English language

The surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it presses down upon you. Air pressure is a powerful force. When you swim underwater, you can feel water pushing on your body. The air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer (层) of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the Earth, extending to about five kilometers above the Earth’s surface.
The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home. But make sure that you are supervised (监督), because you will need to use matches. Now for the experiment.
What you need
● hard-boiled egg without the shell
● A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg
● A piece of paper
● A match
Method
1) Check that the egg will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.
2) Tear the paper into pieces and put them into the bottle.
3) Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.
4) Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.
Result
Astonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches.
Why it happened？
As the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen (air) in the bottle. The egg acts as a scale in the neck of the bottle, so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. The air pressure must equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air presses against the egg, and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! This proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on us.
1.Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment?
A. The bottle could break.
B. You need to light the paper with a match.
C. The egg needs to be shelled (脱壳).
D. The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.
2. How did the egg get into the bottle?
A. The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in.
B. It became soft without the shell.
C. The neck of the bottle was wide enough.
D. The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle.
3.The experiment is carried out to prove___________..
A. water pushes on your body when you swim underwater
B. the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphere
C. the pressure of air around us has a powerful force
D. the air pressure is not equalized around us
