26、“Broom(扫帚) challenge” has become a hot topic on the Internet recently. The challenge is to make a broom stand on its own without any support. Many people shared videos and photos of brooms standing. Even some famous stars, such as Canelo Alvarez, Jason Derulo, Tory Lanez and DJ Khaled, took part in the challenge.

People in the challenge said that according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) (美国国家航空航天局), the earth’s rotation(旋转) would be “in perfect balance” on February 10 and it would be possible for a broom to balance standing up.

In fact, brooms standing on a special day is just a hoax. We can’t find anything from NASA to support the challenge. But as with many things on the Internet, people ran with it. But the truth is, you can make a broom stand up today and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and the day after that. It has nothing to do with the earth’s gravitational pull (引力) on a certain day. It also has nothing to do with the vernal equinox (春分) (another day of the year when this “magic” supposedly happens).

NASA astronaut Alvin Drew and scientist Sarah Noble replied to the challenge, saying that this is a basic physics problem and will work every day of the year, not just on February 10. Brooms can stand up on their own if balanced properly on the bristles (刷毛).

【1】What did people think made the broom stand at first?

A．A certain mysterious force in nature.

B．A challenge made by the NASA.

C．The weight of the broom.

D．The perfect balance made by the earth’s rotation.

【2】When can we make a broom stand?

A．On any day.

B．On the vernal equinox.

C．On February 10.

D．On the day after tomorrow.

【3】In fact, what does brooms standing have to do with?

A．The earth’s rotation.

B．The earth’s weight.

C．The balance.

D．The soft bristles.

【4】What does the passage want to tell us?

A．NASA’s new discovery about balance.

B．A hoax about brooms standing on their own.

C．Ways to make a broom stand on its own.

D．The earth’s gravitational pull.
