13、l campus in Guangzhou where I taught when a student in a gray scarf waved hello.

14、while rehearsing for a high school talent show, I was told by the teacher in charge that I couldnt participate in the mens shirtless dance routine because my visible rig cage(胸腔) would frighten the audience. “Im so what?” “Youre so strong!” she repeated. “Um, thanks!” I didnt know what else to say,

With each recycled idea the online world becomes much more polluted. Used content contributes to the ever increasing mass of digital smog(烟雾). The
31、first step to reduce pollution is simple: stop recycling. When you stop recycling, you will then be forced to take up the task of creating from your own ideas.

37、o their mind. Scientists from Mississippi State University, however, are interested in what the bears leave behind: their poop(排泄物). At a recent meeting in Denver, Professor Brown at the university presented her research showing how panda poop could inspire a new way to obtain energy from plants, wh
38、ich are a renewable energy source. Usually, plants can be called biomass(有机燃料) when they are used as an energy source. Burning biomass is one way to capture its energy, but Brown hopes panda poop can teach scientists something about breaking down biomass. Pandasor at least the bacteria in their stom
39、achsare very good at getting energy out of bamboo. Unlike cows, which use 4 stomachs to digest large amounts of grass, a panda has only one stomach. Bamboo comes in, and poop goes out. Every day for 14 months, Brown and her team on this project, counted the bacteria in the poop of the two pandas, Ya
40、Ya and LeLe living at the Memphis Zoo. Her studies turned up 12 species of bacteria that break down biomass, including one that had never been found in pandas.

41、the scientists hope to identify the chemicals that help with the process of breaking down biomass and then figure out how the bacteria work. If those chemicals can be made in the lab, they could be used to turn biomasslike grass or other plantsinto fuel. Brown says she doesnt mind handling panda poo

46、D. EnjoyableE Bright red post boxes, the Queen and queuingwhat do they all have in common? They are all important parts of British life. At least I thought so.

47、ted by people in the UK, according to a survey done for British bank Barclays. Once upon a time, queuing was seen as normal. During World War II, everyone had to queue up to receive their daily supply of foods. In fact, if you didnt stand up and wait in line with all the others, it was seen as uncivilized(不文明的). The famous English double-decker buses, with only one entrance, might also help explain why queuing was seen as a part of British line. Almost always, there is a queue to get on. But perhaps the British are tired of being pushed past by the Spanish, the Italians or
