  Which animal has the fastest snapping jaw(突然合住的颚)? If you're guessing a shark or perhaps a larger animal, you'll have to think smaller.The trap-jaw ant, which lives in Central and South America, moves its mouth parts at 35 to 63 meters per second.Another way to think about this is that the ant's jaws close at 125 to 233 kilometers per hour.That's 2,300 times faster than the blink of an eye.

  Scientists were able to measure the amazing jaw speed using high-speed video techniques.Sheila Patek, a biologist, says the key is that the jaws have a springy(有弹性的)system, which is critical in getting explosive(爆发性的)speeds.

  Consider a bow and arrow.If you try to throw an arrow with your arm, it won't go very far.If you use a bow, elastic energy stored in the bow is freed almost immediately when you let go of the arrow with your finger.That's exactly what really fast organisms are doing.

  Maybe even more amazing than how fast these ants grab food or even enemies is how they use this same energy to move.As the ant closes its jaws, it uses them to push off the ground-all faster than the eye can see without slow motion video.A snap of the jaw can send an ant up to 8.3 centimeters into the air.That's like someone who is 1.7 meters jumping 13 meters high! Not only can they quickly escape from enemies, but often a group of ants will start jumping all at once.It would be hard for their enemies to grab just one.

  CCTV anchorman LuoJing died of cancer on June 5, 2009 at the age of 48.

  In 1983, graduating from Beijing Broadcasting Institute, he began his career as a prime time newscaster for CCTV.Over the past decades, as an icon of China's broadcasting industry, LuoJing's modest image and clear voice left unforgettable memories with his audience.

  In 2008 when he was diagnosed as having lymph(淋巴)cancer, he felt it too awful, for two weeks later he was to run the torch, he asked doctors to keep the secret in order for him to complete the task of the Olympic torch.Finally, not only did he complete the task, but he participated in a series of voice-overwork in the Olympic Games opening ceremony.After that, he frankly said to the leader the next day, “I have completed the task and I am going to hospital today.”
