16、 of an impact he has had on the kids. His students love him.

28、.We first discovered our feathered enemies on Friday morning. It was early, and the sound the birds made travelled through our neighborhood. I figured theyd go away soon. But, no.

38、pace, making it perfect for anymore wishing to travel light.Not surprisingly, the bag which was worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a disadvantage with his invention-dirty clothes had to be carr

45、ed in Egypt. They were so useful for storing and transporting wine at the time that they were eventually adopted by all of the cultures around the Mediterranean. Its uncertain when they first arrived in Rome, but Greek colonists in southern Italy may have been the first to introduce them.Previously,

46、 wine had been stored in leather sacks, but amphora offered several advantages to the Romans. They were airtight, strong, relatively lightweight, and had two large handles that made them easy to carry, an important feature at a time when almost everything had to be transported by hand. Like modern w

47、ine bottles, aphora had long, narrow necks that limited the amount of wine exposed to the open air. Similar to modern wine bottles, most amphoras became gradually thinner at the end. It made them easy to bury in the ground, which kept them cool during the warm months.Sealing up the top of an amphora

48、 was a major difficulty and a variety of methods were used. The Egyptians stopped theirs with leaves and reeds covered with clay. The Greeks and Romans used rags and cork sometimes. None of these techniques provided an airtight seal, so Aleppo Pine resin（松脂）was used to seal the gaps around the top.

49、It became so popular that resin was sometimes added to the wine in order to improve its flavor. The Roman writer Pliny the Elder, writing in the first century, recommended adding resin to wine and believed resin made from trees in the mountains created a better aroma than resin made from trees in th

50、e lowlands.Though each amphora was constructed by hand, they were surprisingly uniform. Roman amphoras held one cubic foot of liquid, exactly seven gallons, and eventually became a standard unit of measurement throughout the Roman Empire. Unlike Greek amphora, Roman amphoras were not decorated. Befo

51、re it dried, each amphora was given a stamp with the name of the workshop where it was manufactured or the workshops owner. Once the amphora was filled, its weight and contents were painted on the side.1、What does an amphora look like?A BC D2、Why did Aleppo Pine resin become popular in Rome?AIt impr
