The scientific method is used for simple experiments that students may do in the classroom or very difficult experiments that scientists are doing all over the world． It is a way of thinking that helps you to avoid drawing incorrect conclusions．

There are usually four steps in the scientific method, including observation (观察), hypothesis (假设), experiment, and conclusion． The steps may not always be completed in the same order, but the first step is usually observation and asking a question about your observation． For example, you had a sick stomach, and ate a candy bar． An hour later, you observed that you felt much better． Here, you can ask a question, such as, “What makes a sick stomach feel better?”

The second step is to state a possible answer to the question, or a hypothesis, such as “ ” A good hypothesis includes three things: The explanation for the observations, it is able to be tested, and it will usually predict new outcomes or conclusions．

The third step is the experiment, to test the hypothesis． An experiment is a test which will either challenge or support the hypothesis． The hypothesis will then be true or false．

The final step is to think about what happened when you tested the hypothesis and draw a conclusion． The conclusion will either clearly support the hypothesis or it will not． If the results support the hypothesis, a conclusion can be written and you can share it with the rest of the world． If it does not support the hypothesis, you may choose to change the hypothesis or write a new one based on what was learned during the experiment．

B．It was the medicine you took an hour earlier that made you feel better．

C．Eat a candy bar again, and see what happens to your sick stomach．

D．Ask people if eating a candy bar has made a sick stomach feel better．

35．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to (指的是)?

A．The hypothesis．     B．The conclusion． C．The question． D．The observation．

36．Which of the following sentences about the experiment is TRUE?

A．An experiment is a test to always support the hypothesis．

B．An experiment does not have to be part of the scientific method．

C．An experiment is a test to either challenge or support a hypothesis．

Big data (大数据) is a lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program． The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns(样本) in the data． Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources(来源), such as information that comes from schools, social media sites, companies and governments． One set of data can have people’s names and addresses． Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computer．

Big data can be used in many ways． The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains． This information is then used to make bus or train systems better． Some schools use big data to understand which children may need extra help in class． The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in school． Companies use big data, too． It helps them understand who buys their products． For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream．

Big data can be used for good reasons． Some hospitals use big data to predict (预测) if a baby who is born too early will get sick． The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby, so he or she does not get sick． Big data can also be used for bad reasons． It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong．

How can big data be used for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs which is used to look at big data and understand it are written by people． People think in a certain way． Because they think in a certain way, they build a model of those ideas． These ideas are then used to look at the data． Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or businesses． Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people．

37．What is the first paragraph about?

D．People can make certain right decisions according to big data．

39．One company uses weather information to ________．

A．understand when people will need ice cream  B．know when people will visit the hospital

C．find out who rides the bus or train         D．help children in need

40．What can we infer (推断) from the reading?
