He had not been

10、 to Lucerne since he was a boy, but remembered a covered bridge, though not clearly, a great stone lion and a church in which he had sat, bored yet impressed while they played an organ (风琴)；and now wandering along a shady quay (码头) he tried not so much to find his way about a half forgotten scene as

11、 to reform in his mind some memories of the shy and eager boy, so impatient for life, who so long ago had wandered there. But it seemed to him that the most lively of his memories was not of himself, but the crowd; he seemed to remember the sun and the heat and the people; the train was crowded and

12、so was the hotel, the lake steamers were packed and on the quays and in the streets you found your way among the holiday-makers. They were fat and old and ugly and strange.Now, in wartime, Lucerne was as deserted as it must have been before the world discovered that Switzerland was the playground of

13、 Europe. Most of the hotels were closed, the streets were empty, the boats for hire rocked idly at the waters edge and there was none to take them, and in the avenue by the lake the only persons to be seen were serious Swiss taking their dogs for their daily walk. Smallwood felt happy and sitting do

14、wn on a bench that faced the water, surrendered (听任) himself to the sensation. The blue water, snowy mountains, and their beauty hit you in the face. So long, at all events (无论如何) as the fine weather lasted he was prepared to enjoy himself. He didnt see why he should not at least try to combine plea

15、sure to himself with advantage to his country.21.

Smallwoods former visit to Lucerne was made in peacetime BThe brown widow spider became established in

18、Southern California in early 2000 and has become part of the local spider family in urban Los Angeles and San Diego.The brown widow spider is continuing its expansion in Southern California and could possibly move northward into Central California.The brown widow is suspected to have evolved in Afri

19、ca although it was first described from South America, which adds confusion as to where it might have originated. It is a tropical and subtropical spider having established populations in Hawaii, Florida, parts of Australia, South Africa and Japan. In North America, the brown widow was restricted fo

20、r many decades to the Florida peninsula (半岛). However, around the year 2000, it started showing up in other Gulf Coast states. Brown widows are now known from Texas to Georgia and South Carolina.The brown widow builds its web in protected sites around homes and in woody vegetation with branches.Some

21、 typical sites selected by brown widows for web building are empty containers such as buckets and nursery (苗圃) pots, mail boxes, entry way corners, under eaves (屋檐), storage closets and garages, undercarriages of motor vehicles that are stationary for long periods, and the undersides of outdoor furn

22、iture. They choose places that are more exposed than sites chosen by black widows and therefore, appear to be at higher risk for interactions with humans as far as bites are concerned.One recent study demonstrates that the brown widow spider is less poisonous than other widow species. The reason for

23、 the weaker effect of brown widow bites on humans is possibly because the brown widow does not have much poison as its larger relatives, but it is really a threat to humans as to its poison. The two major symptoms of a brown widow bite were that the bite hurt when it was given and it left a red mark

24、. These two symptoms are not much different from the bite of normal household spiders.There is no specific information regarding the control of brown widows by farm chemicals. Most current advice is what is used for controlling spiders in general. Therefore, most commercially available farm chemical

25、s should work on brown widows. Avoiding a mess of the house and the garage should reduce nest sites for them. Also, one should store garage items in plastic bags where there might be interactions with spiders. These items include rarely worn garments such as gardening clothes and gloves, recreationa

26、l items like sports equipment (i.e., baseball gloves) and other items where spiders can crawl up into holes where fingers can be inserted.25.

30、ottinghamin 2015 and is likely to be adopted across the country. The scheme will see firms with more than ten parking places for staff charged 350 a year for each space in two years. Employers would be free to pass on the charge to their staff, meaning it would effectively be a tax on driving to wor

31、k. The scheme aims to reduce traffic by preventing unnecessary car journeys and raise funds to improve public transport, but critics say it is just an excuse for councils to fill their coffers (金库).

The council says the tax will raise as much as100 million over ten years - one fifth of the cost of a new transport system for the city. Another transport spokesman Theresa Villiers said the

35、tax would have a devastating（毁灭性的）impact on businesses struggling to cope with the economic decline. But Richard Hebditch of the Campaign for Better Transport said the tax would raise money to invest in better transport.“We put forward the idea of workplace parking taxes as a fairer way to raise mon
