29、d in Anhui Province, where dozens of homes were damaged.

30、w and then; and most of them lived in tents put up in open spaces or on wide streets. Hundreds of patients were being treated in tents because hospital buildings suffered structural damage. The hospital is treating about 100 who were injured on Saturday. Ruichang Peoples Hospital, with makeshift ten
31、ts and plastic shelters serving as wards(病房), was treating dozens of injured but was already much too crowded, local media reported. About 6,300 tents yesterday reached Ruichang and Jiujiang, which were near the epicenter (震中); and 1,500 more were on their way from Hubei, said Liu Yongfa, an officia
32、l with the Ministry of Civil Affairs in charge of disaster.

36、began when Peter Parker was attending a high-school demonstration of radiation technology. A spider crept into the beam of radiation and bit Peters hand.

37、piders walk up walls? Spider-Man can stick to almost any surface. Many spiders do this by producing a little bit of sticky silk onto their feet as they move across the surface, fixing their feet in place. Others have millions of specially shaped, microscopic hairs on their legs that slip into all ti
38、ny spaces of a ceiling or window. This also explains why you find spiders in the bath - they cant hold anything on the smooth surface to climb out. Stronger than steel Anyone who has ever walked into a spiders web knows that the silk is extremely strong. Dragline silk, which spiders use to crawl dow
39、n from ceiling to floor, is the strongest of all. Weight for weight it is actually stronger than steel, holding over 280,000,000kg per square metre (400,000 pounds per square inch) without breaking. Unfortunately, its very difficult to farm spiders for their silk because they tend to eat each other.
40、 So some scientists try to steal the spiders silk gene and put it into something more friendlylike a goat. Spider-Goats In an unlikely coupling, genetic engineers have now bred goats that have spider silk genes inside them. By doing this, they can harvest the silk proteins from the goats milk (silky
41、 milk, anyone?). The silk gene was just one of 70,000 that make up the DNA blueprint for building a normal goat.

Its Americas birthday party and everyone is invited. Although Jul
46、y 4th is celebrated as the day on which America broke away from Britains rule and the beginning of the American Revolution, the actual series of events show that the process took far longer than a single day. The original resolution (决议案) was introduced by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia on June 7, 17
47、76, and called for the Continental Congress to declare the United States free from British rule. Three days later a committee headed by Thomas Jefferson was chosen to prepare a suitable writing for the occasion. The document that we know as the Declaration of Independence was adopted by Congress on
48、July 4th although the resolution that led to the writing of the Declaration was actually approved two days earlier.
