In the winter vacation, I paid a visit a mountain village in a suburb of Handan. No sooner had I got off the bus when I was greatly surprising to see all the changes. It was far better than I had been expected. Now every family can drink cleanly running water. The villagers needn’t carry water himself any more. Firewood is no longer used for cooking. Marsh gas, a new cheap clean energy, make it very convenient to cook and light. As all the families have color TV set, they can enjoy plays at home. It impressed me most was that the best building in a village was the school. I hope the mountain village will become better and better.

Just in time for National Popcorn Day, a new study shows that people in what’s now Peru were eating the snack about 2,000 years earlier than we thought.
Coastal peoples were preparing cornbased foods up to 6,700 years ago, according to analysis of remains of the ancient corn recently discovered at the Paredones and Huaca Prieta archaeological sites on Peru’s northern coast.
Previously, evidence of corn as a food about 5,000 years ago had mostly come from what are called microfossils — microscopic remains that do not offer information on the size and shape of the corncobs (玉米棒). But the newfound corn remains revealed a lot, via radiocarbon dating and other tests.
The people who lived in Paredones and Huaca Prieta probably cooked corn in several ways：Wrapping a corncob and resting it on coals, roasting a corncob directly over a flame, or cooking a corncob in an earthen oven. In this culture, corn was a delicious food or a minor supplement to the diet — archaeological evidence shows they did not eat it in large amounts.
Corn was first grown in Mexico about 9,000 years ago from a wild grass called teosinte, according to Piperno, whose research has been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. A few thousand years later, corn was brought to South America, where farmers bred the plant crop into hundreds of varieties.
Indeed, what surprised Piperno most about the new research was the diversity of corn — from corncob shapes to kernel (玉米粒)colors discovered in the newfound remains. “Farmers like to experiment and grow cool things，” she said.

A. Ancient popcorn was made 2,000 years earlier than thought in Peru

C. How was corn cooked in ancient Peru and South America
D. National Popcorn Day and the newfound corn remains in Peru
2.According to the passage, the earliest corn was grown in ________.

3.What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Remains of ancient corn were found in different places of the world.
B. Various kinds of corn were discovered in the newfound corn remains.
C. Ancient corncob shapes and kernel colors are quite different from those of today.
D. Piperno likes to experiment and grow cool things.
One day Kavya and I were playing tennis and the ball went into a man’s house. Then we went to his house and asked if he could give us our ball. He said, “No”. We felt helpless. But suddenly we came up with an idea. There was a water tank (水箱) behind the man’s house. I told Kavya, “We can climb onto the water tank and jump over the gate.” Kavya agreed, but we were both wearing skirts. We couldn’t climb in those. “We can get it back tomorrow，” said Kavya.
The next day we went there with Kavya’s brother Vijay. He said, “Shout loudly if you need me.” Kavya climbed onto the water tank first and then she climbed down into the man’s house. I followed her. We were looking under a bed for the ball when we heard a noise. It was Vijay. “Mother is calling you，” he said in a low voice.
We hurried out taking the lost ball with us. Along with the ball was a surprise! But we had to leave the house quickly. When we reached Kavya’s house, the TV was on. It was news time. I couldn’t believe my ears when it said that 20 gold bars were stolen from a gold shop. They showed a picture of the gold bars, which were exactly like the one we had seen in the man’s house.
We told the story to Kavya’s mother right away, and she called the police. Soon the police caught the man. They found all the gold bars in his house. A few days later a policeman came to us and said, “Thank you for helping us catch the guy. Here is a bag for all of you.” When we opened it, it was full of storybooks and lovely toys. Standing beside us, Kavya’s mother was all smiles.
