26、o progress at all. the poor ant was almost exhausted but still bravely did her best when a dove saw her. moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade of grass, which supported her like a raft, and thus the ant reached the bank again. while she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a

31、 let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. i realized this a day late, when i saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than i had paid. the set worked so beautifully when i first got it home that i would keep it on until stations signed off for the night

32、. fortunately, i didnt get any channels showing all-night movies or i would never have gotten to bed. then i started developing a problem with the set that involved static (靜電) noise. for some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. graduall

33、y, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, i had to change to another channel and then change it back. sometimes this technique would not work, and i had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. i actually began to build up my arm muscles shaking my set.when neith

34、er of these methods removed the static noise, i would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. at last i ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. my trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but i keep expecting more trouble.39. w

38、u instead of against you. here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan. open the curtains and turn up the lights. dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious when theyre in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food

39、. if your home doesnt have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness. mind the colors. research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. in one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. warm colors like yello

40、w make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. so when its time to repaint, go blue. dont forget the clock or the radio. people who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories per meal than those who rush through their meals. begin keeping track of the time, a

41、nd try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, and while youre at it, actually sit down to eat. if you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. it makes you less likely to rush through a meal. downsize the dishes, big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. we eat about 22 perc

42、ent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. when we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake jumps by 14 percent. and well pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.43. the text is especially helpful for those who care about

44、se smaller spoons. d. turn down the lights.46. what can be a suitable title for the test?a. is your house making you fat? b. ways of serving dinnerc. effects of self-consciousness d. is your home environment relaxing?d transparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes

45、 through a window. these animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feetas far as most light can reach. most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. sonke johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “these animals live through their lif

46、e alone. they never touch anything unless theyre eating it, or unless something is eating them.” and they are as clear as glass. how does an animal become see-through? its trickier than you might think. the objects around you are visible because they interact with light. light typically travels in a

47、 straight line. but some materials slow and scatter light, bouncing it away from its original path. others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily. but a transparent object doesn

48、t absorb or scatter light, at least not very much, light can pass through it without bending or stopping. that means a transparent object doesnt look very different from the surrounding air or water. you dont see it -you see the things behind it. to become transparent, an animal needs to keep its bo

49、dy from absorbing or scattering light. living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素) that absorb specific colors of light. but a transparent animal doesnt have pigments, so its tissues wont absorb light. according to johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. the real challen

50、ge is preventing light from scattering. animals are built of many different materials-skin, fat, and more-and light moves through each at a different speed. every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. s

51、ome animals are simply very small or extremely flat. without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be seethrough. others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-lie(果凍狀的) material and spread themselves over it . larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have t

52、o make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. they need to look uniform. but how theyre doing it is still unknown. one thing is clear for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. when they die, they turn a non-transparent milky

53、 white.47. according to paragraph 1, transparent animals _. a. stay in groups b. can be easily damaged c. appear only in deep ocean d. are beautiful creatures48. the underlined word “dead” in paragraph 3 means _. a. silently b. gradually c. regularly d. completely49. one way for an animal to become

55、. produce more tissues for their survivald. take effective action to reduce light spreading. completing a passage with some words missing.
