Black Spider（蜘蛛）was having trouble catching bugs（臭虫）in his web, while Grey Spider caught two bugs in his.
“You are so lucky,” Black Spider said to Grey Spider. “You have two bugs while I have none. It’s not fair(公平的).”
“Everyone has lucky days and unlucky days. Let’s eat the bugs together,” said Grey Spider.
Black Spider decided to join Grey Spider for lunch.
“You must do some special things to get lucky, is it magic?” Grey Spider whispered.
“No, build your web!” said Black Spider. “Repair your web! Enlarge your web! Make your web wider!”
“Is that all?”
“Yes, build a new web!” said Grey Spider.
After lunch, Black Spider went back and made a new web. He built his web wider. Once he was done he slept all through the night because he was very tired.
In the morning, Black Spider was excited to see four bugs in his web. He told Grey Spider about it.

The webs that spiders(蜘蛛) build to catch insects seem weak. However, the strength of spider thread is greater than steel. Webs can even stand up to very strong storms.
In each spider web, some threads are sticky(粘的), but some are not. When a spider is moving on the web, it will not step on the sticky threads. After a time the silk will lose its stickiness and become unable to catch insects. Then, spiders usually eat their own web.
Now a team of scientists has worked out why the spider web is so strong. It is not just the strength of the thread, but the clever design of the web. The key to a web’s success is its ability to keep its shape and strength even after some of the threads break, say scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The scientists found the thread itself has the ability to become softer or harder. So it can hold different types of heavy things.
In tests, scientists used three other strong materials(材料) made into the same webs. The spider thread was six times stronger than any other material. More surprisingly, when the scientists took away up to 10 percent of the threads from different places, the web didn’t become any weaker. Actually, it became up to 10 percent stronger.
The spider web’s clever design gives scientists many new ideas. The findings could help design safer buildings and even a new type of strong material. “It’s a really good chance,” said Markus Buehler, a professor at MIT. “It may give us some new ideas for engineering.”
1.According to the passage, the spider web is strong because .
a. the spider’s thread is sticky
b. the thread has a lot of strength
c. the web has a clever design
d. the web can keep the strength forever
A. ab B. ac C. bc D. bd
2.In paragraph 4, the scientists’ tests show that .
A. the spider’s thread is stronger than the other three materials
B. the spider’s thread is the strongest material in the world
C. the spider’s thread can be as soft or hard as it needs to be
D. taking away some spider thread makes the web weaker
3.From the last paragraph, we learn that .
A. people can use spider webs to build houses
B. the findings give people new ideas for buildings
C. there are many reasons why the spider web is so strong
D. Professor Buehler will make a new type of material
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.How spiders catch insects
B. How spiders design webs
C. Spiders are clever designers
D. Webs are stronger than steel

There was once a spider(蜘蛛) that lived in a cornfield (玉米田). She liked this home and planned to stay there for the rest of her life.
One day, the spider caught a little bug in her web. Just as the spider was about to eat him, the bug said: “If you let me go, I will tell you something important that can save your life.”
The spider thought for a little while and listened. “You’d better get out of this cornfield,” the little bug said. “The harvest is coming!”
“I think you are just telling me a story,” the spider said with a smile.
“Oh no, it is true,” the little bug said. “All the stalks (茎杆) will be knocked down, and the corn will be gathered up. You will be killed by the giant machines if you stay here.”
“I don’t believe you,” the spider said as she ate the little bug for lunch.
A few days later, the spider was laughing about the story the little bug had told her. She thought to herself: “A harvest! What a silly idea. I have lived here all of my life, and nothing has ever disturbed (打扰) me.”
The next day was a beautiful sunny day. The sky above was clear, and there was no wind at all. That afternoon, as the spider was about to take a nap (小睡), she noticed some thick dusty clouds moving towards her.
