28、arried the pole with the pots across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full pot of water. At the end of the long walk from the well to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half-full. For two years this happened daily, with the woman
29、 bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection. One day, the cracked pot spoke to the woman by the well: “I am ashamed of myself because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way ba
30、ck to your house.” The old woman smiled: “Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pots side? Thats because I have always known about your crack, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path. And every day while we walk back, you water them.” “For tw

Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines. Recen
35、tly, two researchers, Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated（展示）a small robotic wheelchair directed by a persons thoughts. In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He co
36、uld even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts. “Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord（脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from re
37、aching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.” The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets th

Have a look at the following to see how it challenges your brainpower.Homeric laughter The Homer in this expression is the Greek poet. People laugh differently. Some laugh silentl
42、y, while others tend to laugh loudly. Homeric laughter refers to laughter of the latter kind. It is at times uncontrollable, and the entire body shakes during the process. This kind of laughter is called Homeric laughter because this is how the gods laughed in Homers classics.A three-ring circus Whe
43、n you refer to a situation as being a three-ring circus, you are saying that it is a situation of complete confusion. There are so many activities taking place all together that they leave you confused or annoyed. The expression comes from the world of entertainment the circus. The area where the ar
44、tists perform their acts is called the ring. In the past, some of the circuses were so grand that they had three acts taking place simultaneously in three different rings. The audience had to decide which ring they wanted to focus on.In the swim (of things) When someone is in the swim of things, the
45、 individual is actively participating in the things happening around him, as in Ive been ill, but soon Ill be back in the swim of thing.

46、sh to catch a lot of fish, where would you be? You would be in the swim.Chickens have come home to roost The word roost refers to the place where birds rest. It could be anything the branch of a tree, a henhouse, etc. The expression is normally used to mean that the bad things that someone did in th

50、ruary 12, 2000, two things happened that changed everything in my life. The first was that on this day my baby sister was married. She was twenty-six this day, and yet to me she was still my baby sister. I suppose that I pictured her as a little girl, and treated her like one in order to hold onto a
51、nd preserve my own youth. Until I saw her in her wedding dress I still had a vision of her with chubby little cheeks and long, dark-brown pigtails(马尾辫子) blowing in the wind, perhaps even a permanent smudge of chocolate around her pink lips. I guess its true that you see only what you want to see. Wh
52、ere did this beautiful woman with the glowing complexion(皮肤)and gentle curves(身体曲线) come from?I was happy that day, and also sad. Gone were the days of mebossingher around and telling her what she should do with her life. My bossy behavior had earned me the nickname Lucy. If you are a Peanuts fan th
53、en you can clearly imagine my behavior as an older sister. To me it wasnt an insult; I rather like the nickname Lucy. I happen to think that Lucy is strong and has incredible self-confidence, although she is a little overbearing(专横的) at times. I did my best to live up to the standards set forth by t
54、his dynamic cartoon character.I left the reception to get some air because suddenly I was overcome with grief at the realization that I was no longer a child. I went outside and walked to a nearby playground where there were children playing on the slide, the swings and digging in the dirt. There wa
55、s a little girltwirlingaround on a bar, one knee wrapped tightly around the bar and fashioned behind her knee. It was all I could do to sit there and just watch, for I too wanted to get on that bar with her and see if I could still hold the all-timetwirlingrecord (ninety-nine times in fifth grade).
56、Somewhere inside I knew that I would break my neck, and I was wearing abridesmaiddress. Not exactly playground material. And so I sat watching the children play. Im not sure how long I sat there before my sister came and joined me. We talked about how we are grown up now and shed a few tears for our
57、 childhood days gone by. As she wiped a tear from my eye she lovingly said, youll always be Lucy to me. We hugged.My cousin Mike walked over and told my sister that it was time to cut the cake. And then he dropped bomb number two on me. Hey, did you guys hear that Charles Schultz died today? He said
58、 it like it was no big deal. He took my sisters arm and turned to head back for the reception hall. Coming? They asked. In a minute. I replied, and sat back down on the bench, dizzy from what he had just told me.Dead? How could Charles Schultz be dead? He was my creator! And though I have never met
59、the man personally, he has always been like an invisible father to me. He did, after all, fashion a famous character after me. I lost so many things on this day. Innocence slipped away from me like a thief in the night: come and gone before I could do anything about it, taking with it all the treasu
60、res that I held most valuable in my heart. I felt myself grow up, all in one moment. Reality rushed in around me like a hurricane tide. There was nowhere to run to. All I could do was sit there and watch it destroy and reshape what had existed only a moment before. I was no longer a child. I was no
61、longer Lucy who knew what was best for everyone else. I saw, for the first time, what I really wasa thirty-year old woman with a husband of my own, and soon, a child of my own.I allowed the tide to carry my sadness out with it. Take it out to sea, for it serves no purpose in my life. I stood up from
62、 the bench; a little taller than I was when I sat down. I turned and headed back to the hall, hoping I didnt miss the cutting of the cake. It was the day my sister grew wings of her own and left the nest. It was the day that Lucy died, and I was born.73. Why did the author treat her sister as a litt
63、le girl? A. Because the author was older than her sister.B. Because the author didnt want to grow up. C. Because her sister always wore pigtails and liked eating chocolate. D.
