六．阅读理解（30分）
(A)
Drawing a picture is the simplest way of putting an idea down on paper. This is because men first began to write six thousand years ago or more. The alphabet(字母)we now use came down to us over a long period of time. It was developed from the picture-writing of ancient Egypt.
Picture-writing could be used to express ideas and objects. For example, a drawing of man meant man and a drawing of a man lying on the ground with a spear(矛)meant death.
Besides the Egyptians and the Chinese, the American Indians also developed the ways of writing in pictures. Thousands of pictures would have been needed to express all the ideas that people might have. It would have taken many thousands more to express all the objects known to man. No one could draw so many pictures in a lifetime, nor could anyone learn the meaning of all such drawings before he dies.
1. When did man begin to know how to write?
A. 5000 years ago. B. Less than 6000years ago.
C. Six centuries ago. D. about 6000 years ago.
2. According to the article, the first country to use alphabet is ____ .
A. China B. Egypt C. America D. India

B. Picture-writing is the earliest way of writing.

D. No one could draw thousands of pictures to express all his ideas.
5. Why don’t most people use picture-writing?

D. Both B and C.

Put an ice cube from your fridge into a glass of water. You have a piece of string(线) 10 centimeters long. The problem is to take out that piece of ice with the help of the string. But you must not touch the ice with your fingers.
You may ask your friends to try to do that when you are having dinner together. There is a saltcellar on the table. You must use salt when you carry out this experiment.
First you put the string across the piece of ice . Then put some salt on the ice. Salt makes ice melt(融化). The ice round the string will begin to melt. But when it melts, it will lose heat. The cold ice cube will make the salt water freeze(结冰) again.
After a minute or two you may raise the piece of string and with it you will raise your piece of ice!
This experiment can be very useful to you. If, for example, there is ice near the door of your house, you must use very much salt to melt all the ice. If you don’t put enough salt, the water will freeze again,
