There she carefully placed the eggs in the heat of a lamp. Several days later the eggs broke and the baby geese came into the world.Geese are kn

20、own to take the first living thing they see as their mother. Thus, to these young geese, the girl was their mother.

26、to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence. The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that “canals” perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars are natural valleys where ancient rivers once

27、 flowed. Another fragmented idea concerns the planets seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere. By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by s

28、pacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past.

43、ehavior in another. Chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good manners in England. When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk. He may just nod, say hello and pass on. If two friends do stop to talk, they do not shake hands. It is only at parties for yo

44、ung people (students, for instance) that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself.
