Then there was a man who came in bringing money, saying that Gene had lent him some when he was down and out. Gene had never asked him for the money back.From the school president to

Right now, cows, buffalos, goats and sheep provide most of the worlds milk. But soon, people could get milk from roaches(蟑螂).That isnt as crazy as it might so
20、und. New research shows this “milk” is super-nutritious. Whats more, some scientists have already begun referring to a lot of insects as source of milk.In 2004, Subramanian Ramaswamy started studying milk crystals found inside the roach. At the time, he was teaching biochemistry at the University of
21、 Iowa City.To learn more about the milk crystal from roaches, the scientists used X-rays to look at the atoms in it. The data basically revealed the chemical recipe of the roach crystal. They showed that roach milk is a “complete food”. It contains sugar with a fatty acid stuck to it. Fatty acids ar
22、e the building blocks of fats. The protein in the milk is also full of essential amino(氨基的) acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Since our bodies cant produce the “essential” ones, we need to get them from our food. And so do baby roaches.Barbara Stay, a biologist at Iowa University, al
23、so worked on the new study. She says the new data show that the roach milk is “three times more nutritious than cows milk and four times more nutritious than buffalos milk”.Ramaswamy would like to see roach milk turned into a protein supplement to feed hungry people. But not everyone is confident th
24、at it can be done.Marcel Dicke studies insects as a potential source of human food at 5Wageningen University in the Netherlands. Dicke says this is a “sound study”. However, in his opinion, “Extracting(提取) milk from roaches can only likely be done in a destructive way with only small quantities”. Th
25、at means youd have to raise and kill many bugs to get even tiny quantities of the milk.28. What is the opinion of the scientists about milk in Paragraph 2?A. Many insects are sources of milk.B. Milk is an important part of breakfast.C. Milk from insects is the most nutritious. D. Milk from insects i

All people dont think it can be used in life soon.D. Most people depend on roach milk from protein.30. According t
