Whether on land or out at sea exploration always calls and the curiosity cannot be resisted.

B

At ten years old, I borrowed a book from the library that had the word "widow" in the title. My mother took away the book, and we went back to the library. I remember how embarrassed I was as my mother explained that I needed reading material that was different from the book.

The librarian was tall and thin with short brown hair. Holding up one elegant finger, she looked down at me and smiled,"Here you are,"she said."It's called I Capture the Castle,by Dodie Smith." I felt far too old for dog stories and bad guys acted by Cruella de Vil. "It's very different from 101 Dalmatians, though," she said.

I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt. But I was unwilling to believe. I mean, the title alone was strange. I Capture the Castle? It sounded like a bunch of childish kids playing King of the Hill. I took the book home, and started reading. I was attracted. Absolutely attracted. I wanted to be a writer.

I never told the librarian how much that book meant to me. Two weeks ago, I was relaxed in the tea shop when I looked up and saw her. I saw the brown-haired librarian who had changed my life . Sixteen years had passed , but -for a moment -time stood still . She still possessed that beauty. I moved towards her. "You work at the library! You one showed me I Capture the Castle ! I'm a writer how ! That's still my favorite book ! "

The woman paused and smiled kindly. But then she tipped her brown head. I realized that dementia(老年痴呆)or something like it had kept her from understanding me. My face flamed, I stepped back. A woman took her by the elbow and led her gently away.

As I watched her go, her pace just as light as I remembered it, I wondered how many lives we change without realizing what we do is significant. For all that woman had really done was lend me a book. But it had occupied my world.

C

Everybody knows the phrase "it's raining cats and dogs", but how many times have you  heard "it's raining spiders"?

A person of the Southern Tablelands in New South Wales on Facebook reported that millions of baby spiders appeared to be falling onto the ground from the sky.

The phenomenon, called "Angel Hair", sees spiders climb to the top of plants and release a long silk that catches on the light wind and carries them into the air. Therefore, entire fields are covered by a thin blanket of the white silk, or spider rain.

"You can clearly see hundreds of little spiders floating along with their webs and my

home is covered with them!"the man said."My hair stood on end at that time and I tried to take photos of what I saw, because people couldn't make them out in the sky because of the sun," he added.

Angel Hair is reportedly a migration method that spiders have used to travel across the world. The event can sometimes lead to entire fields covered with a thin blanket of the silk. The blanket of silk has generally disappeared by the morning after meeting with cold temperatures overnight. Weather conditions cause the phenomenon to take place. Most of the cases happen on clear cool days with light winds blowing. The effect is particularly common after floods, when a large number of spiders use their silk to escape.

In 2012, severe floods in the southern NSW town of Wagga Wagga saw thousands of spiders use this method to move to higher grounds . The spiders that use the method are harmless.None of the species that do this are dangerous, and they all go away once the weather warms up.

8.How did the man feel when seeing his home covered by little spiders?

A. Upset.B. Peaceful.C. Honored.D. Terrified.

9.Why do the spiders create spider rain?

A. To hunt for food.B. To move to other places.

C. To raise their next generation.D. To escape their natural enemy.

10.What can we learn about spider rain from the text?

A. It is formed by a strong wind.B. It does harm to the environment.

C. It happens especially after floods.

D. It leads to the sky covered with spider silk.

11.What can be the best title for the text?

A. Angel Hair B. Harmless Spiders

C. Cats,Dogs and Spiders D. A Newly-invented Phrase
