We can do many interesting experiments(实验) in chemistry class. Today we will use CO2 (carbon dioxide) to blow up your balloon! Mixing a baking soda and vinegar(醋) together can give off the CO2. Baking Soda and Vinegar Balloon Experiment What you’ll need ★Balloon ★About 40 ml of water ★Soft drink bottle ★Vinegar ★A teaspoon of baking soda Instructions ★Before you begin, make sure that you pull the balloon long to make it as easy as possible to blow up. ★Put the 40 ml of water into the soft drink bottle. ★Add the baking soda and mix it with water. ★Put the vinegar in and quickly put the balloon over the mouth of the bottle. What’s happening If all goes well, then your balloon should inflate! Adding the vinegar to the baking soda creates a chemical reaction. The baking soda is a base(碱), while the vinegar is an acid(酸). When the two combine, they create CO2. The gas rises up and escapes through the soft drink bottle. However, it doesn’t escape the balloon, pushing it outwards and blowing it up.

Two years ago, I was sitting in my car waiting in a long line for a toll (通行费) station. When I finally reached the station, the toll station worker told me that the person in front had paid for me and I was free to go. I was so shocked. I didn’t need to save the 5 dollars. I would never know who he was. I was tired by the heavy traffic and the long line, and that behavior was surprising and unbelievable, which really touched my heart. So I decided to pay for the next car waiting in
line.
The first time I tried to pay forward the toll, I kept looking into my rear view mirror (后视镜) to see who I’dbe paying for. In the mirror, I saw a tired looking taxi driver. And I felt satisfied that my money would be going to a good place. But before we got to the toll station, the taxi driver had suddenly changed his way and now there was someone else behind me. She looked upset and was gesturing ( 举止) angrily in a conversation with her friend. I wasn’t willing to be paying for a woman like that and was certainly judging her by what I was seeing in the mirror. Anyway, I paid
the toll and left.
Thirty seconds later I was surprised to hear a honk (鸣笛声). It was the woman and her friend waving at me from the other way! She looked cheerful and happy. She wasn’t what I thought she was like. This was a valuable lesson that I shouldn’t judge people so quickly …After all, I don’t
know their stories.

noises.

Every one of us has a chance to try new things. 36 The risk is that we will not be satisfied
with our choice.
For example, we may try a food we have never had before. 37 It can be too sour, too salty or too spicy. We may try a new style of music and get a headache. We may try a new sport like skating and end up falling down a lot. We may see a different kind of art and be completely disappointed. We may try to speak or write a different language and end up embarrassing
ourselves.
It sounds risky（有风险的）to us. 38 For example, we can try a new food. And we fall in
love with it finally. It can be sweet or tastes very good. We may try a new sport and fall down but
英语试卷 第 6 页 （共 10 页）
we get back up and finally experience pleasure, even for a minute. We may see why people love
that sport so much.
If we try a new kind of music, we may regret we didn’t find it sooner. 39 We can try to write or speak a different language, and we may be a little embarrassed at first, but we know that
the only way to improve is to make mistakes and keep on trying.
40 Then you will have chances to get rewards（回报）.

Where there is a will, there is a way
Have you heard of the saying “Where there is a will, there is a way” It means if you are really determined to do something, however difficult it might be, you will eventually find a way to do it well. The important point is that you must have the will to achieve success.
Take me for example. Speaking English used to be difficult for me. In Grade 7, I couldn’t speak English clearly and my classmates always laughed at me. With my English teacher’s help, I made plans to improve it. I read English texts aloud for an hour every morning. I also made a foreign friend online. I talked to her twice a week. She helped me correct the way I spoke English. Day by day my spoken English improved a lot. Last month I won first prize in my school’s English Speech Contest.
This experience has taught me that nothing is too difficult as long as you make the decision to do it, just the saying goes, “Where there is a will, there is a way”.

We swept the road first, and then some students had a short rest while others started to water flowers. In the park, we met a group of old people practicing taichi. And some of us were happy to learn some taichi movements. After having lunch near the park, we found there was a lot of rubbish around the park. Many students offered to pick it up. At the same time more and more people passing by came to join us. Finally, in front of us was a clean and beautiful park. I really enjoyed my day.
