Michael didn't look 24 , but he didn't challenge me either.

The feeling of numbness （麻木）shot through m/y body as a car came zooming towards us. At that moment everything went blank. Both of my two mates were hit down, drenched in blood. Minutes after I witnessed that, I decided I was leading the dangerous neighborhood and going to college.
He went on to write about how his high school teachers, who saw his 26 , helped him get into this school.
I had Michael 27 his essay out. After he finished, the class went so 28 that we could hear the sound of each other's breath. After a moment, I said, “ That's why you tell your stories. ”

Fun School Projects with Magnets and Metal
Science is one of the most interesting and fun subjects for kids.
There are endless opportunities for practical experiments that are sure to surprise and excite children's imaginations. A great way to get into experimenting with science is with the use of magnets. The properties of magnets allow for an “ invisible force ” to move objects seemingly on their own!
If your kids are looking for something a little trickier, why not let them try using magnets to make their own compass （指南针）？
For this experiment, you will need 2 needles, a strong magnet, a pencil, a cup and some string.
Step 1: Rub the pointed end of the needle along one side of the magnet ； this can be either the north or south end. Make sure you are rubbing the needle in one direction, not back and forth. You might need to do this about 30 times to magnetise the needle.
Step 2: Test the now magnetised needle with the spare needle to see if it can pick it up. If it can, the needle is ready to use for the experiment. If it doesn't pick it up, you will need to rub the needle a few more times on the same end of the magnet you were using

before.
Step 3 : With a piece of string that is a couple of inches long, get your child to tie this to the middle of the pencil. Then, at the bottom end of the hanging string, tie the magnetised needle.
Step 4: Place the pencil, with the needle hanging down, over the top of a cup so that the needle is hanging inside the cup.
Step 5 : Watch as the needle moves on its own to point north.
Once your kids have got a taste for magnets, you might want to move on to more advanced experiments. Places like RS Components sell high-tech magnetic equipment that will be sure to carry on fuelling your children's passion for science! 31. According to the passage, the spare needle is used to _____ . A. pick the other needle up magnetised
32. The magnetised needle can point north because _______. A. it is tied to a hanging string C. it is connected with a magnet cup
33. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To promote high-tech magnetic equipment. B. To entertain kids with magnet experiments.
C. To stress the importance of advanced experiments. D. To provide a way to fuel kids' passion for science.
