In a restaurant, a bug (虫子) suddenly flew in ...

In a restaurant, a bug (虫子) suddenly flew in and landed on a woman. She started shouting out of fear. With a panicked (惊慌失措的) face, she started jumping around with both her hands shaking. Trying to scare away the bug. Her reaction was so strong that it panicked everyone in her group.

She finally got the bug off of her. But then it landed on another woman in the group. Now it was her turn to continue the drama (戏剧).

A waiter rushed to their table. The second woman somehow managed to get the bug on the waiter. The waiter stood firm and looked at the bug on his shirt. He carefully picked up the bug with his fingers and threw it out of a window. People around him were impressed.

Watching the drama go on, I started wondering: Was the bug responsible for their behavior. If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed (打扰)?

He solved the problem perfectly without any chaos. It was not the bug, but the inability of those people to deal with the disturbance caused by the bug that disturbed the woman.

I realized that it is not the shouting of my father or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but my inability to deal with the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me. It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturb me, but my inability to deal with the chaos caused by the traffic jams that disturbs me.

I understood. I should not react in life. I should always respond. The customers reacted, however, the waiter responded. Reactions are always instinctive (本能的), well responses tend to be well thought out.

Why do plants grow in some places and not in others? Why does some land have so much growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all? To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. That’s why dry deserts everywhere are almost not covered by trees or grass.

Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built on hard land. The paints here have only the soil found between thecracksof the stones to grow in.

Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food.

What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as beach grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won’t. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.

Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food.

What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants， such as beach grass， will grow in sand， but most plants won't. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day， many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no plant food.

Frogs are animals that can live both in water and on land. There are more than 5,000 kinds of frogs on the earth. The earliest known frogs lived about 190 million years ago and the frogs today still look the same. Here are some fun things that you might not know about frogs. Enjoy!

The Biggest and the Smallest Frogs

Some frogs can be very big. The biggest kind of frog is the Goliath Frog in West Africa. Its body can be nearly 30cm long, about the size of a large cat. The Gold Frog and the Poison Frog are the smallest frogs in the world. They are less than 1cm long. Though the Poison Frog is very small, it is not weak at all. It is dangerous. Any animal that eats it will die very soon.

The Best Jumpers

Frogs are very good at jumping. They developed jumping legs so that they would not be eaten by other large animals. Using their big strong legs, more frogs can jump over 20 times their own length. The Australian Rocket Frog can even jump over 2m, which is 50 times its body length (5.5 cm). That might be the reason why frogs are called the best jumpers on the earth.

The Cryogenic Animal

Some frogs like the Common Wood Frog have a special ability to live in very cold places. When the temperature goes down, they become ice frogs. 2/3of their body water freezes. Their hearts stop, and their breathing stops too. You may think they are dead, but in fact they are not. Maybe we humans can learn the way that the frogs do for medical purpose.

1.The earliest frogs lived about ________ million years ago.

A．20

B．30

C．50

D．190

2.________ can jump over 2m.
