20、. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other peoples lives.

21、ety and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.

27、. They began with finding out why a lizard can hang on a wall. They noticed the lizards toes were unique: They have suckers (吸盘), which enable it to hang on walls. They, therefore, made a robot with suckers on its hands and feet. The robot could hang on the wall but fell off when crawling. So, they
28、went on researching. 6 years ago, scientists discovered that suckers only were not enough.
