26、us killer. Health experts say that since the year 1900, very hot weather has killed more people in the United States than any other natural event. One yearthe unusually hot summer of 1980 heat caused about 1,700 deaths in the United States. In 1995, more than 600 people died in another heat wave in
27、one cityChicago, Illinois. Besides drinking lots of cool water, doctors say there are some other things to do to protect against the health dangers of heat. Stay out of the sun, if possible.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there co
31、uld only be one passenger(乘客 ) in your car? Think before you read on This is a question that was once actually used when you are looking for a job. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and you should save her first; Or you could take your old friend because he once saved your
32、 life and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again. The person who was chosen (out of 200 people) had no trouble coming up with his answer. He simply answered, “I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lad
33、y to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams. ” Sometimes, we get more if we are able to give up our thought limitation(限制 ).

36、 is a reflected(反射 )sound. Stand in a very large, empty hall with nothing on the walls. Then shout. The sounds you make will hit the walls and come back to you. The walls reflect the sounds. These reflected sounds are called “echoes”. We can use reflected sound to make sound travel farther. Hold a w
37、atch about fifty centimeters from your ear. You cannot hear it. The sound of the watch travels a short way in all directions. It does not travel as far as your ear. You can make it travel to your ear by using a roll of cardboard(纸板筒 ). Make the roll of cardboard about fifty centimeters long. Put one
38、 end over your ear and hold the watch at the other. Now you can hear the watch because the sound has not gone in all directions. It is reflected down the roll to your ear. A megaphone(喇叭筒 )works in the same way. It makes sound travel farther. It reflects the sound into a beam which can travel a long
39、 way. In the ship, the sailor uses the megaphone to make his voice travel. Without the megaphone, his voice cannot travel far. We use reflected sound in many ways.
