Tiny plants and animals live all around us. We cannot see them because they are so small, but they are everywhere.

They live in the soil, the air, and in rivers and oceans. They grow on mountains and in caves. Some live in the ice at the north and south poles; some live where it is very hot. They are found throughout cities and in the country. They grow on other plants and animals. Some are even living on you, on your skin, hair, and inside your body, in your mouth, nose, and all through your intestines (腸).

These tiny plants and animals are called microbes. The word microbe is made from two other words: micro, meaning small, and bios, meaning life. So, microbe means small life.

Microbes have been on earth for a very long time. They may have been the first forms of life to be alive. Today there are more microbes in the world than all other living things.

People did not know microbes had existed (存在) long. They were too small for them to see.

But people did see many changes in their world—important changes. And they did not know what caused them. They saw food that they kept too long change color and begin to smell bad. They saw cuts and wounds grow red and painful and become infected. They saw old plants and leaves and trees crumble apart on the forest floor and disappear into the soil. Such changes were a natural part of the world, but people did not understand them. They did not know these changes were evidence (證據(jù)) of tiny plants and animals growing all around them.

1.Where do microbes live?

A. Only in the forest. B. Almost everywhere.

C. Most in very hot areas. D. Most in rivers and oceans.

2.The underlined phrase “crumble apart” in the last paragraph means “________”.

A. 開花結(jié)果 B. 化為春泥 C. 破裂腐爛 D. 芳香四溢

Wearing seat belts(安全帶) is,of course,the first step to safe driving.These following measures might also save your life.

Count to three.Keeping up enough space between your car and others is certainly necessary.Jim Clark,a California driving instructor,suggests a following distance of at least three seconds.To figure this,pick an object on the roadside ahead.When the car in front of you passes it,start counting one-thousand-one,one-thousand-two,one-thousand-three.If you get to that object before you reach one-thousand-three,you don’t have three seconds of following time—time needed to keep away from accidents.

Let followers pass.“If someone’s driving after you,get out of his way.”Clark advises.“You’re better of being safe than right.”

Expect the worst.In a study,the Federal Highway Administration(聯(lián)邦公路局) found that 68 percent of drivers do not come to a complete stop at stop signs.When you’re driving and see someone come near to a stop sign,don’t be too sure that the person is going to stop.And when you stop at a crossing and another car comes near with its turning light on,don’t take it true that the driver will turn.Instead,wait until he turns.He may have had the light on for miles.

Stay outside.In the busy traffic,drive in either the outside-left or outside-right lane(車道).As traffic expert Francis Kenel says,that allows you somewhere to go if a problem develops.
