Scientists have always believed that snails are not able to find their way home. But Briton Ruth Brooks, a retired teacher, has found that it is not true.

Brooks started working on snails after she got angry with the snails in her garden. The snails ate her vegetables. She didn't want to kill them, so she took them to another place. But she found they always seemed to come back. Brooks tried to mark the snails in her garden with nail polish (指甲油). She placed the snails in the place around her home and made notes of their movements. She found that snails have a strong homing instinct (本能); the longest returning snail traveled back 90 meters.

People started to call Brooks Britain's best amateur (业余的) scientist after her work won the BBC's prize “To Be A Scientist”. She said, “I've always wanted to know whether the snails that eat my plants just come back when I move them, and if they do, how far is it from their home?” "I would say on the evidence (证据) that it would be safe to take your snails away 100 meters or even farther. If you put them somewhere nice with some food, you can be almost sure that they won't come back."

A. The snails are in her garden. B. Ruth Brooks has a garden.

C. Snails have a strong homing instinct. D. Snails can't find their way home.

2.Why did Brooks take the snails to another place?

A poor boy once went to a ragged(破旧的) school, where his face was well washed. When he returned home, the neighbors looked at him in surprise.

They said, “That looks like Tom Rogers, and yet it can't be, for he is so clean.”

After a while, his mother looked at him, and seeing that his face was so clean, she thought that her own face was dirty, and she washed it at once.

The father soon came home from his work, and, seeing his wife and his son so clean, he thought that his face was dirty, and so he followed their example.

Father, mother and son being clean, the mother began to think that the room looked dirty; so she went down on her knees to scrub the floor clean.

China was once known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”. Now, a young US man, David Wang, living in Beijing is using pieces of bamboo to replace(代替) parts of bicycles.

Two years ago, David opened the Bamboo Bicycle Beijing workshop in Langjia hutong. They cut and shape bamboo into bicycle frames(构架). After connecting the pieces with special glue, they join wheels and other parts together.

After graduating from university, David came to China to continue his study. He has lived in China for more than 6 years and loves the city's ancient hutongs. However, he found people threw old bicycles everywhere in hutongs. “Beijing is becoming a big graveyard(墓地) of bicycles，” David said. He began picking up the given?up bikes and “saving” them, repairing, repainting, and renewing them.

Then one day he found a really old bicycle, which could not be “saved” in usual ways, so he began thinking of better materials to replace the frame. Bamboo came to his mind.

He searched online, and after three months of research and tries, communicating with factories and experts, he made his first bamboo bicycle. “It was amazing! It really works！” he recalled.

The bikes are not for sale—they're to encourage a love of cycling among people who live in Beijing. David hopes bamboo bicycles can create “a little bit more different culture in Beijing”．
