Have you ever wondered why people drive on a different side of the road? It might seem strange that U. K. drivers stay on the left, but they’re not the only ones. 1.
Originally, almost everybody traveled on the left side of the road. However their way of transport was quite different from today: 2. For Medieval swordsmen on horseback, it made sense to keep to the left to have their right arms closer to their enemies. Getting on or off was also easier from the left side of the horse, and safer done by the side of the road than in the center.
3. Things changed in the late 1700s when large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses were used to transport farm products in France and the United States. In the absence of a driver’s seat inside the wagon, the driver sat behind the left horse, with his right arm free to use his whip to keep the horses moving. Since he was sitting on the left, he wanted other wagons to pass on his left. 4.
The British Government refused to give up their left-hand driving ways, and in 1773 introduced the General Highways Act, which encouraged driving on the left.
When Henry Ford unveiled his Model T in 1908,the driver’s seat was on the left, meaning that cars would have to drive on the right hand side of the road to allow front and back passengers to exit the car onto the roadside.5. And this is highly unlikely to change.
A.Think four legs instead of four wheels.
B.Do people get used to driving on the right?
C.However, British drivers remain on the left.
D.So why did people stop traveling on the left?
E.Therefore, he kept to the right side of the road.
F.Around 35 percent of the world population does the same.
G.This was later made law thanks to The Highway Act of 1835.
Spider webs have something in common with guitar strings. The long, thin strings on a guitar can vibrate(振动). They move back and forth, or from side to side. So do webs made by spiders. The lines of silk they produce can carry vibrations. This movement gives the small creature information about what landed on the web.
Spiders have eight legs and usually eight eyes. The animals build webs with their own soft, naturally-made silk. Spiders catch their food, usually insects, in their web. They make small movements, which spread across their web. The vibrations can tell the spider what is there—maybe something tasty to eat.
Vibrations give the spider details about what is caught in the web. They can tell the spider where that next meal is, and what it might be. But vibrations are not just used to identify what is for dinner. A spider makes its own vibrations to find out the condition of the web.
How do the researchers know that? They used special equipment to send out laser pulses into the web of a garden cross spider. Then they used a laser to measure the very small vibrations, which spread through the web.
Using computer models, the scientist could show how a spider can change the size of a wave vibration. The spider does this by changing the tightness of the silk lines. The spiders then can control how information is getting to them where they hang out in the middle of the web. In a way, spiders can move their silk threads, much like a musician plays the strings of a guitar.
Engineers might be able to learn a thing or two from spiders. This information could help engineers better understand how structures react to energy, and how vibrations affect a building.
1.What do spider webs and guitar strings have in common?
A.They both shake. B.They are both strong.
C.They both convey information. D.They both have the same shape.
2.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Webs. B.Spiders.
C.Insects. D.Vibrations.
3.Why do spiders shake their own webs?
A.To repair them. B.To check them.
C.To find out insects. D.To connect with other spiders.
4.What does the author think of the finding of spiders?
A.It might benefit engineers. B.Spiders are clever creatures.
C.It helps improve playing guitar. D.Humans should learn from animals.
Some of my favorite childhood memories come from Halloween. I love it all! Pumpkins, costumes and the thrill of trick-or-treating. But I think it would be funny to give me a child who was deathly afraid of my favorite holiday. If you have kids who are scared of Halloween, these tips should help!
Don’t minimize your child’s fears
It is helpful to let your kids know that you understand their fears. Halloween can be a scary holiday. Kids are just making sense of their world. We might think terrible monsters and bloody eye balls are cheerful—but to some kids they are pure terror. Young kids have a harder time telling reality from fantasy-making Halloween—a real-life horror movie.
Start preparing your child for Halloween early
It is impossible to keep your kids in a bubble for the entire month of October. Instead of avoiding Halloween, help prepare your kids for the holiday.
Tell your kids that during Halloween people find it fun to dress up like scary things. Let them know that the monsters and scary creatures they will see are not real.
Save the bloody zombies for another year
I love decorating for Halloween. I have two huge cabinets full of Halloween decorations! So there is no way I would tell anyone not to decorate for Halloween! However, to help your kids get used to Halloween—keep your decorations festival and pleasant. Pumpkins, friendly witches and cute ghosts are all kid-friendly decorations.
Don’t get too attached to those cute little costumes
The stores are packed with cutest costumes. Your little one might beg you to buy that $ 40 Frozen costume—only to refuse to wear it on Halloween. Kids are moody. What is exciting one week is boring the next. There is nothing more frustrating than spending lots of money on a costume your child refuses to wear.
Halloween is a fun, exciting holiday. Once your kids moves through their fears—they will see this holiday for what it really is—free candy. And who can be scared of that!
