The Miracle of Silk

Silk. The word itself is beautiful. The story of silk starts in China over 4000 years ago. One legend says a
silkworm’s cocoon fell into a woman’s teacup. It then opened into a single, unbroken thread. This was an
important discovery. The Chinese learned they could use the cocoons to make cloth that was both beautiful to
look at and soft to touch.
Making silk was a protected secret in China for many years. In other countries, silk was very rare and
valuable. Often it was worth more than gold. Legend tells us that the secret finally got out when a princess left
China to go to India. In her hair, she secretly carried many silkworms.
Nowaday people around the world still make many beautiful things from silk. But silk isn’t only beautiful. It
looks delicate, but it’s actually very strong.For example,some doctors even use silk threads on hospital
operations. Silk is also lightweight and warm. That makes it great for clothes like winter jackets, pants and boots.
All of this from a little insect- the silkworm. That is the miracle of silk.
27. Sometimes silk is used in hospitals.
28. Silk is easily worn-out.
29. Silkworms were taken to another country in her hair by a princess.
30. Silk can be comfortable to wear in cold weather.
31. According to the legend, how did people first learn about silk?
A. An Indian princess told people about it. B. A silkworm’s cocoon fell into a woman’s teacup.
C.A doctor found it in hospital. D.A fashion designer discovered it.
32. In line 5-6 ,it says ,In other countries, silk was very rare and valuable. Often it was worth more than gold .

READING COMPREHENSION: (1pt)

Read the paragraph and answer with True or False:
HOW ANIMALS SEE COLORS !
Different animals have different kinds of color vision. Some birds and bees have
super color vision and see colors that humans don't see. Dogs, cats, mice, rats and
rabbits have very poor color vision. They see mostly greys and some blues and
yellows. Some animals do have good color vision. Monkeys, ground squirrels,
birds, insects, and many fish can see a fairly good range of color. In some cases
it's not as good as what we humans see - but it's much better than cats and dogs.
Scientists say that good color vision helps animals find food on the land or in the
water. For land animals, good color vision helps to tell the difference between
ripe red fruit and unripe green fruit. Colors can also make animals more attractive to each other when they mate.
Finally, the ability to see colors helps animals identify predators (other animals which may attack them).
1. Dogs, cats, mice, rats and rabbits see colors that human don’t see.
2. Cats and dogs can’t see some colors as well as monkeys, ground squirrels, birds, insects, and many fish.
3. According to the passage, good color vision helps animals in the water for three reasons.
