【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 “Also, please keep this secret. If anyone found out that I told you this. I would certainly lose my job.” “Well, then,” said the Chief,” I have learned that a very important letter has been stolen from the king. We are sure who stole it and that the letter is in his house. But who would dare do such a thing I cried. The thief, said Germain softly, He39。s a man who darers do many dangerous things. He is one of the most powerful and important ministers in the government. He is Minister Danton.” A lot of times, while Minister Danton was out, a lot of welltrained police officers carefully searched the entire house, room by room.

We were both very surprised. Dupin explained, I know Minister Danton very well. He could not hide the letter in any of the usual hiding places. I realized that he might have left the letter out in the open, right under everyone39。s nose, where no one would search for it. Then I visited him with my dark glasses on to help me observe（觀察）better. While we were chatting, a dirty, torn letter in the letter holder suddenly caught my eyesunusual for the Minister, who is careful and neat. I was sure it was the letter.

These things have helped us in our daily life. The latest thing is selfrepairing clothing. Scientists have developed a special way for clothing to repair rips and tears by itself, without the need for sewing. It works with materials such as cotton, linen and wool. The scientists are from the Naval Research Office and Pennsylvania State University in the USA. Scientists Dr Walter Dressick and Dr Melik Demirel looked at how a squid can cling on to things so well. The research team found a protein in the rings of teeth that cover the suckers on a squid. The protein is similar to the one found in the silk that spiders use to make spider webs. It is very strong and elastic. The new protein has been developed as part of a coating, which is put on clothes. When the coating is dipped in water, the area around the rip or tear joins together in less than a minute. This could help clothes last longer and save money for us. It could also be useful for military and survival clothes. People like soldiers and mountaineers would be safer if they had clothes that could be repaired quickly and easily. Professor Demirel spoke about the invention. He said, The coatings are thin, less than a micron, so they wouldn39。t be noticed in everyday wear. Then he added, Even thin, they increase the overall strength of the material. For the first time, we are making selfhealing textiles.（1）From what have humans learnt a lot？ A.Books.B.Nature.C.Scientists.D.Clothing.（2）What is NOT needed for the selfrepairing clothes to fix themselves？ A.Tears.B.Cotton.C.Sewing.D.Glue.（3）What39。s the Chinese meaning of the underlined words is similar to？ A.與……相同B.與……不同C.
