39、错误Section B Jellyfish (61) They look like jelly, but of course they arent. And they certainly arent fish. So, what exactly are these strange creatures? (62) Jellyfish consist of over 95 % water. They have no head, brain, heart, eyes, ears or bones! They have a kind of body, called a “bell“. The bell
40、 is the big round part that looks like jelly. Inside it are nerves, which are all jellyfish needs to move to sense light. (63) When jellyfish find their food, these tentacles can shoot out poison to kill it. Underneath the bell is a mouth. (64) There are over 2,000 species, and new ones are still be

Millions of Internet users around the world are using a language that th

This new English, or Internet slang, is made up of new words such as “blog“; contractions such as “HMWK“ for “homework“; acronyms (words formed from first letters) such as “LOL“ for “laughing out loud“; and finally, symbols that represent emotions, like“:)“. Why do p
47、eople use Internet slang? The main reason has to do with speed. Internet chatters are usually in a hurry! They want to send their messages quickly. By using contractions and symbols, writers can type more words per minute. Why take the time to type “For your information“ when you could simply type “
