t charge anything for helping people We do this as a hobby explained Fred Johnson one of the Snake Catchers Because of their love of snakes the Snake Catchers try to keep them alive One man asked us

some are given to the North Carolina State University Most including the poisonous snakes are set free in the wild usually in a national park Fred suggests that people should treat snakes with care Actually snakes are very shy and gentle creatures They only attack if they are frightened However you have to know how to treat a snake properly According to one happy family the Snake Catchers are good One day the Greenwood family found a snake skin in the kitchen They looked very carefully and saw a snake sleeping behind a cupboard They thought about what to do Then Steve Greenwood remembered the advertisement for the Snake Catchers He called them The Snake Catchers arrived within an hour and they finished the job quickly too said Steve Greenwood One of them went into the kitchen found the

Colorado Springs in the USA decided to collect everyday items and to seal 封住 them in a special box The box was marked To be opened after midnight December 31st AD 2000 and was kept in the Colorado College Library One hundred years later on the appointed 约定 day 300 people gathered to watch the opening of the box Many in the crowd were the descendants 后代 of people who had placed things inside the box When the box was opened after midnight the things inside the box were in very good condition There were newspapers photos diaries name cards family trees books and lots of letters including one written by Theodore Roosevelt who became the President of the USA later that year One of Roosevelt s friends lived in Colorado Springs at that time Many of the letters were written to their descendants They describe the hopes that the people of 1901 had for the people of the next century At that time Colorado Springs had just a few thousand people Now nearly half a million people live there Colorado College Library has scanned the materials and put them on a website Cecll Muller whose grandfather had placed a collection of postcards in the box said that the time capsule was a great

cockroach 蟑螂 Do you hit it with a newspaper Do you step on it When researchers at Tokyo University see a cockroach they take the remote control and make the cockroach turn around run left or right or go forward These scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots Each cockroach has a very small pack that has in it a microprocessor 微处理器 Then researchers can send signals from the remote control to the pack The signals control the movements of the cockroaches Why does anyone want to control a cockroach Insects can do many things that people can t says Isao Shimoyama head of robot research at Tokyo University In a few years he says these robot insects will carry very small cameras They will be able to move through earthquake rubble 瓦砾 to look for people or move under doors to find information about someone This may seem strange but the Japanese government thinks the research is very important The government is giving the scientists 5 million for this research First the researchers breed 培育 hundreds of cockroaches They use only the American cockroach because it is bigger and stronger than other cockroaches Then they choose the best cockroaches and remove their wings and antennae 触须 They put small packs where the antennae were The packs weigh about three grams or about two times the weight of the cockroaches themselves Cockroaches are very strong says Ralph Holzer who is a researcher at Tokyo University They can lift 20 times their own weight With a remote control the scientists send signals to the packs When a cockroach gets the signal it moves The problem is that the cockroaches don always move in the right direction 37 The scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots because A they want cockroaches to do things people can in the future B they want to control the movements of the cockroaches C they want cockroaches to take photos of the earthquakes D they want to send signals to the packs on the cockroaches 38 What can cockroaches do to help people A They can lift 20 times their own weight B They can help people to carry very small cameras C They can breed hundreds of cockroaches D They can search for those people in rubble after an earthquake 39 Scientists control cockroaches movements A by removing their wingsB by sending signals from the remote control C by using very small camerasD by removing their antennae 40 What problem do the researchers meet with A The cockroaches sometimes don move B The cockroaches sometimes move in the wrong direction C The cockroaches are too big to move through earthquake rubble D The
