My bookshelves are full of dust―and with good reason.When iIt comes to cleaning that part of my home,I suffer from the most serious case of avoidance(回避反應(yīng)癥).
The thing is this:when I do set out to clean and re-organize my books,which seldom happens,I place myself into a really bad situation.No sooner do I take a title from the shelf, blow off the dust,and wipe down the cover thanI find myself sitting on the floor with legs crossed and my back against the wall.Pretty soon books get piled up on my legs as I am reunited with old friends.
It is as if these boobs have voices,and each wants to say its piece.“Remember me?I was given to you when you went into the Navy , so that you would never lack for companionshlp,”one whispers.Another says,“I was your first book of poems,given to you before you learned to love poetry.”And a third,“I was the book that made history so attrctive to you.”
Perhaps thegreatest pleasuret of re-organizing my books are the surprise―or better said,reunions―that occur. During my latest book cleaning adventure,I found one that had fallen behind the shelf:“Tales of Edgar Allan Poe.”Not an unusual title,but the words written on the first page made it very special“With Love from Mom and Dad,Christma 1965.” What’s this? A book on the physics of lasers(激光).It is filled with mathematical statements,and I had bought it at a library sale when I was 12,not long after the laser had been invented.I couldn’t understand a bit of it,bul I did learn what “l(fā)aser”meant.
What I end up with when I empty my bookshelves is a cross-section(橫剖面)of my personal history. It’s like a road cut whre one sees all the layers of rock going back through time to the beginning of the simplest life forms.The books I’ve read―and kept―are not just old fiends.They’ re my resume.

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda(大熊貓)eats only one particular type of bamboo(竹子). Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly(蝴蝶)will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet(多樣化飲食). The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.
Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as

“This Friday we’ll have the yearly Egg Drop Challenge,” said our science teacher, Mr. Baker.

When Friday finally arrived, I had to 46 Cassie’s Egg Force One looked pretty good.
47, my Egg-cellent Egg Cream didn’t look quite scientific. We kids carried our containers up three stadium steps and dropped them over the side wall. Those whose eggs broke were out; those whose egg survived 48 three more steps and dropped them again. This would go on till the last egg broke.
