Just like a marching band entering the playing field before a game熏popcorn is usually heard before it is en.Kernels穴玉米粒)are breaking apart uncontrollably熏hitting against the cover of the pot with a loud noi.Popcorn is one of the most popular foods熏and we can enjoy large amounts of it every year.
Popcorn was first raid and harvested by Cachi Indians in Mexico over three thousand years ago.By the time Europeans arrived in North America熏many Native Americans were enjoying popcorn.In fact熏at the first Thanksgiving celebration in Plymouth熏Massachuttes熏one high⁃ranking Native American brought a gift of popped corn in a deerskin bag.Popcorn was not just for eating鸦it was also ud in jewelry熏such as headdress and necklaces.One difference betwee
en popcorn then and now is the popping methods.Early Native Americans would pierce穴扎)the corncob with a sharp stick熏coat the ear with oil熏and lay it next to the fire.The kernels would pop while still attached to the ear.
Though the act of the kernel of corn breaking apart takes place in a cond熏the science behind the pop is not that simple.In order to understand this process熏one must first understand the kernel itlf.The kernel is simply a hard outer shell穴壳),which protects a soft熏starchy穴含淀粉的)center.The starch contains a small amount of water and when the kernel is heated to about200degrees Celsius熏the pressure from the steam within caus the kernel to pop.When this happens the kernel increas forty times in size熏and the result is a changed kernel熏with the white熏starchy center on the outside熏and the hard shell on the inside.The remaning kernels that do not pop by the end of the heating cycle do not have enough water inside to build up necessary steam pressure.
28.The underlined ntence in the first paragraph describes .
A.the value of popcorn
B.the pupularity of popcorn
C.the noi of popcorn poping
D.the relation between sports and popcorn
29.Paragraph2is mainly about .
A.the history of popcorn
B.the way popcorn was raid
C.the different us of popcorn
D.the way popcorn was popped
30.The example of the high⁃ranking Native American is ud to show .
A.popcorn was not just for eating
B.popcorn stood for wealth in the past
C.popcorn was invented by North Americans
D.popcorn was enjoyed in North America long ago
31.According to the text熏what caus the corn kernel to pop when heated芽
A.Its outer shell
B.The water in it
C.The starch in it
D.Its unusual shape

The Lawyers’Committee for Civil Rights Under Law is calling for the removal of discipline穴纪律)questions from the Common Application穴also known as the Common App雪ud by more than620colleges and universities.They are basic yes⁃no questions that ask whether a college applicant ever got into trouble in high school.Advocates熏school districts and even some colleges share concern that such questions may deny穴否定)students’educational opportunities.
But at a time of tightened curity against school shootings and terrorism熏admissions officials say questions about student discipline are en as a necessary piece of a much larger picture.At Marist College熏the questions have turned up everything from students suspended for not pulling up their socks to cheating熏cyberbullying穴网络欺凌)and criminal behavior.All are taken in context.
“The Common App is looking at the issues熏薰said Aba Blankson熏nior director at the not⁃for⁃porfit group.“In the meanwhile熏applicants who check yes have room to provide good details.A student can say‘In ninth grade熏I was suspended and becau of that incident熏the alcohol thing I did熏I became interested in a program called Teenagers Against Drunk Driving and became a volunteer.’薰
That was high school nior Miaija Jawara’s approach when it came time to disclo穴公
