things have helped us in our daily life The latest thing is self repairing clothing Scientists have developed a special way for clothing to repair rips and tears by itself without the need for sewing It works with materials such as cotton linen and wool The scientists are from the Naval Research Office and Pennsylvania State University in the USA Scientists Dr Walter Dressick and Dr Melik Demirel looked at how a squid can cling on to things so well The research team found a protein in the rings of teeth that cover the suckers on a squid The protein is similar to the one found in the silk that spiders use to make spider webs It is very strong and elastic The new protein has been developed as part of a coating which is put on clothes When the coating is dipped in water the area around the rip or tear joins together in less than a minute This could help clothes last longer and save money for us It could also be useful for military and survival clothes People like soldiers and mountaineers would be safer if they had clothes that could be repaired quickly and easily Professor Demirel spoke about the invention He said The coatings are thin less than a micron so they wouldn t be noticed in everyday wear Then he added Even thin they increase the overall strength of the material For the first time we are making self healing textiles 1 From what have humans learnt a lot A

music it doesn t mean that he is planning to go to hear a singer or attend a concert It is something far sadder than you are called in by your leader to explain why you did this and that or why you did not do this or that At some time or another every one of us has to face the music especially as children We can all remember Father s angry words I want to talk to you And only because we did not listen to him What a bad thing it was 第 3 页 共 11 页 In the middle or at the end of every term we students have to face the music The result of the exam will decide whether we will face the music or not If that means parents cold faces and contempt 轻蔑 of the teachers and classmates The American novelist James Fennimore Cooper said in 1851 that the expression face the music was first used by actors while waiting aside to go on stage When it was their turn to go on the stage they often said It s time to face the music An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved onto the stage in front of the audience because they might be friendly or perhaps they are hostile especially if he forgot what he would say But he had to go out If he did not there would be no play He would lose his job To

any part of the world The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere 大气 because this is where the weather forms 形成 They send these pictures to the weather stations So meteorologists 气象学家 can see the weather of any part of the world From the pictures the scientists can often say how the weather will change Today nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures When they receive new pictures the meteorologists compare 比较 them with earlier ones Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change too In their next weather forecast the meteorologists can say this So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists Before satellites were invented the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days Soon perhaps they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead 提前

muscles work in very different ways than lions do Because snakes do not have any legs they use their muscles to push against the ground or other objects to move themselves forward Their muscles also allow them to eat things that seem much too large For example a snake may eat an egg that is larger than the width of its body How does this happen The snake s strong neck muscles work together to push the egg down the mouth The elephant s long nose has a lot of muscles Scientists believe that the nose alone has more than 100 000 muscles This is because the elephant uses its nose much in the same way that people use their hands and fingers Even though the nose is large it can perform surprisingly tasks For example an elephant can pick up a small leaf from the ground The nose can also be a powerful tool An elephant can use its nose to pick up a tree by its roots or even to lift a baby elephant The great muscles of these animals seem prett
