Soon,after growing big,the caterpillar makes a cover for itself.It covers itself in a protective blanket(保护层)and goes to sleep.This stage is known as the"pupa(蛹)"stage, After a period of time,the blanket breaks and a wet,weak butterfly appears.It now has six legs,a mouth,eyes and wings.Shortly,the wings fill with blood,and the beautiful, colourful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away.

At about 53 centimeters long,the fish were very lifelike.The joints()in their heads and tails were made in a special way to let the fish move fast and easily.This is thanks to bionic engineering,which brings together nature and man-made things. "I love to see the bionic fish,"Professor James Crabbe from Oxford University told Jiupai News."It could tell us much more about fish swarming and how fish behave." Swarming in fish means they swim together in large groups.It helps them stay safe,find food and save energy.Learning about swarming helps us understand how fish live and how changes in the environment matter to them. The pretty colors of the bionic fish come from the LED lights on their bodies,said People's Daily.These lights can also make shadows,giving the underwater world a party feel. Even better,.the bionic fish are smart..With the help of AI and sensors(传感器)，they can "see"things in their way and learn to avoid them,said Changjiang Daily.The fish are already helping in the study of the Yangtze River's water to help protect the environment. 39.What is special about the blue"fish"in the tank?

A.Using lights to mimic fish colors B.Combining natural and artificial designs C. Programming fish with AI D.Making shadows for underwater parties 42.What is the main purpose of these robotic fish? A.Entertainment at conferences B.Environmental research in the Yangtze River C. Testing underwater party decorations D.Teaching students how to make robots (D) It was a cold November morning several years ago.My alarm clock had just gone off,but I was having trouble getting out of bed.My dad had died a few weeks before.I felt weighed down by sadness and depression. Tough and strong,my dad had worked so hard all his life to support us.He had a temper and would sometimes shout at my brothers and me,but I always knew that he loved me.Still, he had been raised in a traditional way and raised us that way too.I couldn't remember,for example,ever being hugged by him. But eventually,my mom and grandma passed away.My dad moved into grandma's home right up the road from where I lived.I was so happy to have him close by.I would often visit him and just talk with him about life.But we still rarely touched and never hugged.Finally his own health began to rapidly fail and within a few months he left us.It was a cold morning when we had his service,but I was too cold and numb inside myself to feel it.I couldn't remember when we'd had our last hug. I sighed and got out of bed.I turned on the lights and walked into the hallway.I saw my son JJ walking down the hall to meet me.Suddenly,he opened his arms and gave me a heartfelt hug.And just as he did,I heard my dad's voice deep inside of me say,"Joey,this hug is from me!"I cried and smiled at the same time.In that moment,in the place where heart, mind,and spirit all meet,I felt loved.I felt loved by my dad.I felt loved by life. 43.Which word can NOT describe the writer's father?
