Everything is made of something. Nothing is made of nothing.

Chemistry is about the smallest things that other bigger things are made of, and what happens when they change. The word chemistry comes from chemical, which is an example of one type of the very small things that other bigger things are made of. The words you are reading now are made of a dark liquid called ink （墨水）, which is written on paper. The paper itself is made out of the chemicals that wood is made out of. Both the ink and the paper were made by different chemical processes. A chemical process is what happens when chemicals come together to make other chemicals, and therefore other things.

Cooking makes chemical changes. Your different ingredients are made of different chemicals, and when you put them together and make them hot and cook them, the chemicals change into new chemicals and the different ingredients make something new. That tomato sauce you're making is made of tomatoes, onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Those ingredients each have their own chemicals and their own flavors, but now with your sauce you've made something different, something that has its own flavor, all the ingredients mixed together, all the chemicals mixed together, something new.

You can smell the chemical changes, too, as they go up into your nose, especially when you forget about your sauce and it doesn't just cook but bums and becomes black and has a really bad flavor. You can't make it better, either, because once chemicals change, they can't be changed back again.

8. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Chemistry.      

B. Chemical.

C. The smallest things.     

D. The bigger things.

9. What is a chemical process?

A. Ink is written on paper.

B. Paper is made out of wood.

C. Everything is made of something.

D. Things mixed together produce something new.

10. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. How to make tomato sauce.    

B. What to use to form new things.

C. Ingredients and their own flavors.   

D. Chemical changes in cooking food.

11. Which might be the best title for the text?

A. What chemistry is like

B. Chemistry changes everything

C. Where the word chemistry comes from

D. A chemical process is called chemistry

D

Every time you're online, you are bombarded （如炮轰）by pictures, articles, links and videos trying to tell their story. 12______

Read these tips, and don't get fooled by fake news!

1. Check the source （来源）

13______ Does it look real? Is the text well written? Fake news websites often use addresses that sound like real newspapers, but don't have many real stories about other topics.

2. Watch out for fake photos

Many fake news stories use images （图像）that are Photoshopped or taken from an unrelated site. Sometimes, if you just look closely at an image, you can see if it has been changed. Or use a tool like Google Reverse Image search.

3. 14_______

Look to see if the story you are reading is on other news sites that you know and trust. If you do find it on many other sites, then it probably isn't fake（ although there are some exceptions）.

4. Look for other signs

There are other methods that fake news uses. These include using ALL CAPS （全大写） and lots of ads that come out when you click on a link. 15______ If the news story makes you angry, it's probably designed to make you angry.

If you know these things about online news, and can use them in your everyday life, then you have the control over what to read and what to believe. If you find a news story that you know is fake, the most important advice is: don't share it!
