Even though he was a great teacher, he seemed rather like a character out of a horror movie. He didnt look that bad, but somehow, he looked extremely scary to me. Some kids began to believe that he was a murderer or a ghost; some believed he was mad and a few believed that he might have suffered a lot in his life. I was one of those few. One day I gathered up my courage and headed towards the school garden. He was, as usual, sitting on a bench alone. I breathed heavily a few times and then walked towards him. “How are you?” I asked with my voice crackling. He managed to say, “Fine.” “Well, good to know,” I tried to be happy. “Hmmm” was all I heard. “Whats up with you?” then seeing a puzzled look on his face, I tried to be more formal and respectful. “I mean, why arent you like all other people in the school? Why are you always so quiet and sad? Why” “No dear, some things are better left unsaid,” he said gloomily. “Oh no sir, nothing is better left unsaid. If you want to share your feelings with me and reduce the pain of your heart, you are free to do so. I promise I will never ever tell anyone.” “With you? You are just a little girl; what will you understand?” I was somehow offended but still I managed to persuade him, “So what, Sir? You see, if you tell me your problem, you will have a light heart and you will have the feeling that someone somewhere cares about you.” “Oh okay, that was a very nice belief indeed; lets take a walk and I will let you know everything.” Soon after our little talk, there was a visible change on his face. Later that day in the class, there was a smile on his face.56.

Now, University of Utah researchers have discovered why the flys silk is sticky when wet and how that may make it valuable as an adhesive tape(黏胶带) during an operation.“Silk from caddisfly larvae may be useful some day as a medical adhesive for sticking wet tissues,” says Russell Stewart, an associate professor of bioengineering and principal author of a new study of the fly silks chemical and structural properties. “I picture it as sort of a wet Band-Aid, maybe used inside in operations - like using a piece of tape to close a cut,” he adds. “Gluing things together underwater is not easy. Have you ever tried to put a Band-Aid on in the shower? This insect has been doing this for 150 million to 200 million years.”There are thousands of caddisfly species worldwide. Some species spend their larval stages developing underwater, and build an inch-long, tube-shaped case or shelter around themselves using sticky silk and grains of rock or sand. Other species use silk, small sticks and pieces of leaves. Each larva has a head and four legs that stick out from the tube.The larval case gets wider as the larva grows.A caddisfly larva eventually pupates(化蛹)as it develops into an adult fly and then hatches.Caddisflies now live around the world in waters ranging from fast streams to quiet low lying wet land. The caddisfliesadaptation to diverse habitats is largely due to the inventive use by their larva of underwater silk to build complex structures for protection and food gathering.Caddisflies fall into two groups. Some build their case and then drag it along with them underwater as they search for food. Some build a shelter glued to a rock,with a silk net to catch passing food.59.According to Russel Stewart, caddisfly larvae _. A. can spin silk underwater or on dry landB.are worth researchingC.are quite different from butterflies and spidersD.have been widely used in the medical field60.The author mentioned “Band-Aid” in the passge to show _.A.Band-Aids are very useful B.

The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph probably refers to _. A. the silkB. the shelterC. the foodD. the rock62. The passage is most probably a _.A. science fiction novelB. science news reportC. biography of researchersD. social affairs report CW Taipei The W Hotel is among the citys big-name luxury(奢华) hotels. Futuristic and fancy, the W Taipeis setting is reminding you of a Lady Gaga video; perhaps that explains why the singer insisted on staying here on a recent visit. There are eight room types to choose from, with names such as Fabulous and Extreme Wow. They vary wildly in style. 10 Zhongxiao E.

The Grand is an expression of classical Chinese art mixed with Western construction principles. The Grand Hotel is attractive and full of history, but rooms are aging, so dont expect the inside to be as “grand” as the outside. You can enjoy yourself at a driving range of golf, year-round pools and no fewer than eight restaurants.No. 1, Lane 1, Zhongshan N.
