C The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid-we simply weigh too much, and all our mm pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink. However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the waters surface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, wed need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to createadequate hitting. “ But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a non-Newtonian liquid that doesnt behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(微粒) in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour. Fun though all this may sound, its still rather messy md better mad about in theory than carried out in practice, if you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink-and take a shower afterward!44.

To help the liquid behave normally. D. To enable the water to rove rapidly.47. What is the authors attitude toward the idea of humans walking on water? A, It is risky but beneficial. Il. It is interesting and worth trying. C. It is crazy md cannot become a reality. D. It is impractical thigh theoretically possible. D One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest, the next, the air was charged with tension. The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed. I urged the elephant deeper into the forest. We sounded like a forest fire-crackling, snapping, trailblazing. But through all the noise came a sharp wanting cry. The elephant stopped and we heard it againthe tell-tale call of a spotted deer. I looked quickly mound the shadows of the forest. Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches, beneath which the patchwork (交錯) of green plants and shadow-within-shadows would make tiger stripes (條紋) look more attractive. Apart from an occasional noise from the elephants stomach, the forest wins silent. Gradually, the tension slipped from our bodies. The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into her mouth. I roached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephants neck; there was a soft part, free of wrinkles and hairs, behind her ear. This was my fourth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett, although I saw no tigers in the end. Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains, Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers, but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts( 出沒處), a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity.

It is really worthwhile to study the animals in Corbett. D. The process of finding Bengal tigers is most appealing. E Its generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes. They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment. They pay $5 for a caramel brule latte because they like expensive coffee drinks. Its undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions (性情), but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern. By observing our own behavior. We can be strangers to ourselves. If we knew our own minds, why would we need to guess what our preferences are from ou
