      What do yon hear? Sounds all around you! You can hear the sounds of cars, the wind in the trees, a dog's barking, your own breathing and lots of other things.

      But what is sound? Sound happens when something vibrates(震动)or shakes. We can make something vibrate by hitting it. Try this experiment. Put your ruler on your desk and part of it sticks out(突出) over the side of the desk. Put your hand on the part of the ruler that is on the desk. Now pull the part out of the desk down, and then let it go. The part you let go will vibrate, it will move up and down very quickly, and it gives out sound.

     The part of the ruler out of the desk makes the sound. If you make that part longer, you will hear a lower sound. When you make it shorter, you will hear a higher sound. Why does this happen?

     When you make the ruler out of the desk shorter, it will vibrate more quickly. When something vibrates quickly, it makes a higher sound. If you lengthen the part, it will vibrate more slowly and it makes a lower sound.

第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题,计45分)

阅读理解第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

阅读下面短文,根据其内容回答后面所提问题或完成句子。

Dear editor(编辑) ,

After I finish my homework, I often go online and chat with my friends. Sometimes I play computer games. But my parents hate to see me playing games on the computer. Maybe they have heard too much news about how QQ and computer games harm(伤害)children. Once I went to a net bar(网吧)to play games after school. But after that I told my parents that I was playing basketball at school. I said so because I didn't want to make them unhappy. I feel bad about it. However, I need to rest for while by playing computer games after studying for a long time. I really want my parents understand that (1). Do foreign parents do the same to their children? Please help me.

                                                                 Li Ming

Dear Li Ming,

       I think it's not strange for parents to keep their children away from anything bad. Foreign parents will do the same as your parents! They may not let their children watch TV for too long a time, or like your parents, they don't want their children to play computer games.

       Talk to your parent and be honest to them, I think. Tell them what you are doing and why you are doing so to make them understand you. It's never good to do things behind your parents' backs.(2) They aren't fools as you think sometimes! Our parents seem to know what the best is for us. Remember. To be honest is the best way.

       Good luck!

                                                                  Rebecca
