Many parents are freaked out (惊慌失措) about putting their easily distracted teenagers in charge of a fast-moving chunk (大块) of glass and steel. My wife refused to teach her, leaving the task to me.

18、Ive learned a few things. First, Mia didnt know how to drive at all. She didnt even know where to put the key. It was like watching a chimpanzee try to solve a puzzle. Worse, she couldnt remember that D was for drive, and R meant reverse (倒车).Then came the road rules. Mia likes to sail past stop sig

19、ns. I had to explain that “STOP means STOP”. Had she actually read the rule book? “Yes,” she said, but she forgot most of it. “It was so boring.”Although I had been driving her around for her whole life, she hadnt learned anything.Despite these things, Ive also learned that I enjoy teaching her.

25、kids.C Spider webs have something in common with guitar strings（线）. The long, thin strings on a guitar can vibrate(振动). They move back and forth, or from side to side. So do webs made by spiders. The lines of silk they produce can carry vibrations. This movement gives the small creature information

26、about what landed on the web.Spiders have eight legs and usually eight eyes. The animals build webs with their own soft, naturally-made silk. Spiders catch their food, usually insects, in their web. They make small movements, which spread across their web. The vibrations can tell the spider what is

27、theremaybe something tasty to eat.Vibrations give the spider details about what is caught in the web. They can tell the spider where that next meal is, and what it might be. But vibrations are not just used to identify what is for dinner. A spider makes its own vibrations to find out the condition o

28、f the web.How do the researchers know that? They used special equipment to send out laser pulses into the web of a garden cross spider. Then they used a laser to measure the very small vibrations, which spread through the web.Using computer models, the scientist could show how a spider can change th

29、e size of a wave vibration. The spider does this by changing the tightness of the silk lines. The spiders then can control how information is getting to them where they hang out in the middle of the web. In a way, spiders can move their silk threads, much like a musician plays the strings of a guita

30、r.Engineers might be able to learn a thing or two from spiders. This information could help engineers better understand how structures react to energy, and how vibrations affect a building.28.What do spider webs and guitar strings have in common?A.They both shake.B.They are both strong.C.They both c

32、author think of the finding of spiders?A.It might benefit engineers.B.Spiders are clever creatures.C.It helps improve playing guitar.D.Humans should learn from animals.DNew law lets students sleep inWhen your alarm clock rings and you drag yourself out of bed, you probably wonder: Why on earth does

33、school have to start so early?Fortunately, there is a new law to back you upor better still, science.A law in California, passed on Oct 13, requires that public middle schools begin classes no earlier than 8:00 am and that high schools start no earlier than 8:30 am. The law will go into effect by Ju

34、ly 1, 2022.Starting school at 8:00 or 8:30 in the morning may not sound like too big of a change, but it could mean one more hour of sleep for students who used to start school at 7:30 or even earlier.“The effect of that one hour is something they will be feeling as 40-year-old adults,” Sumit Bharga

35、va, a sleep expert at Stanford University told The New York Times. He said that not having enough sleep can affect students mental health and increase the risk of getting fat and diabetes (糖尿病).In the short run, students school performances should improve almost immediately. Kyla Wahlstrom, a resear

36、cher at the University of Minnesotas College of Education, found that students who have enough sleep are more alert (机敏的) in class and get better grades.Some might say that urging students to go to bed earlier could have been a much easier solution than changing the school timetable across an entire

37、 state. But according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, teenagers go through biological changes when they enter puberty (青春期), which makes it difficult for them to fall asleep before 11: 00 pm. So when school starts at 8: 00 or earlier, they can hardly get the ideal 8.5-9.5 hours of sleep t

38、hat experts suggest they need to do their best in the daytime. This is why when the new law came out, its author, Anthony Portantino, said, “Generations of children will come to appreciate (感激) this historic day and our governor for taking bold action.32.
