44、cool field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12F. Harrison explains,You get more flavor from warmer ice cream,which is why some kids like to stir it,creating ice-cream soup.While the ice cream warms up, Harrison
45、 looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. Tasting begins with the eyes,he explains.

With so many plants, animals, and other living things covering the planet, it can be tough to figure out what type of grass is growing by the roadside or what kind of bird just flew by.A soon-to-be-started Web site might help. An international team of researchers has an
50、nounced the creation of Web-based Encyclopedia (百科全书) of Life (EoL). The project aims to list every species on Earth in a single,easyto-use reference guide.To get the encyclopedia started,the creators will use information from scientific databases(数据库) that already exist. And eventually, in special
51、sections of the site, nonscientists with specialized knowledge will come to help. Bird-watchers, for example, will be able to input what birds theyve seen and where.

56、nt of money can buy it. Time is abstract(抽象的), so we have no imagination about it.Time passes very quickly. Some students say they dont have enough time to review all their lessons. It is because they dont know how to make use of their time. They waste it in going to theatres, cinema and parks, and
57、doing their useless things. Why do we study every day? Why do we work? Why would so many people rather take buses instead of walking?The answer is very simple, we wish to save time because time is precious.Today we are living in the twenty-first century. We look upon time as life. When a person dies
58、, his life ends. Since life is short, we must devote our time and energy to our study so that we may be able to serve the people in the future.

59、 and dont leave it until tomorrow.Remember that time is much more valuable than money.71. Why is time abstract? 72. What should we do since time lost will never return? 73.
