But her record has been questioned because someone thought that she has not sailed far enough. She will also not be recognized by the World Speed Sailing Record Council, as it was too dangerous for someone under 18 years old. Ms. Watson sailed into Sydney port on Saturday, seven months after leaving on a hard voyage. Family, friends and Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd have gathered to greet her. Thousands of well-wishers waited at the port and watched from boats as Ms Watson sailed her pink, 10m boat over the finishing line.

Youre not frightened of it, are you? Its only an insect.“It isnt an insect, though it might look like one. Actually, it is very useful. The program I watched last night has completely changed my views on spiders. Do you want to hear about it?“Not really, she sighed, “but I suppose youre going to tell me anyway.“Spiders, he said, ignoring her remarks, “are the enemies of insects and the friends of humans. Thats something that Chinese farmers realized years ago and scientists are only beginning to understand today.“Do you know in parts of China, in autumn, farmers build shelters for spiders and put them all over their fields? They are like little cone-shaped 锥形的 tents made of straw and spiders can survive the winter in them. When spring comes, they come out, healthy and hungry, at the same time as millions of insects arrive to attack the farmers crops.“So the spiders fill their empty stomachs, and the farmers whose fields are protected are happy. Theyve saved their crops and their money. Because of the spiders, their cost on insecticides 杀虫剂 is zero.“So everyone is happy except insects. she said.“Right, and now this natural method of pest control is being copied all over the world.“Interesting, she said, “But now I really must go and “Wait, he cried. “Theres moreDo you know what is stronger than steel, lighter than a feather, and as elastic 弹性的 as a rubber band?“No. What is it?“Its the silk that spiders make their webs with.

Maybe youre at work, and flowers are not allowed. Assuming(假定) the problem is simply that you dont have time to go out and get flowers, you may be surprised to learn just how easy it actually is.Its good to get flowers for yourself, but even better to be given them. Im sure you know this, just as Im sure theres someone special in your life who feels the same way. So why not take the chance to make someone happy, and get them some flowers? I know, you would, but its just too much trouble. Well, thats where youre wrong!Its a good excuse, and while it might have worked in the past, Im afraid it doesnt work any more.

Nowadays, you can buy pretty well anything online, and yes that includes flowers.By the way, theres another point to consider here.Price.
