29、 me a stack of his books. And he was kind to me; I will always be grateful that in his absolute warmth and generosity he fulfilled my deepest dream (and need) of what a poet should be.To me he is not dead at all. Hardly a day goes by that I dont think of him or speak of him. Once, just before he die

37、n an arboreal environment. In the dense, complex world of a tropical forest, it is more important to see well than to develop an acute sense of smell. In the course of evolution, members of the primate have acquired large eyes while the snout has shrunk to give the eye an unimpeded view. Of mammals,

38、 only humans and some primates enjoy color vision. The red flag is black to the bull. Horses live in a monochrome world.

39、re sensitive to them. Humans have no direct perception of infrared rays, unlike the rattlesnake, which has receptors tuned in to wavelengths longer than 0.7 micron. The world would look eerily different if human eyes were sensitive to infra-red radiation. Then, instead of the darkness of night, we w

40、ould be able to move easily in a strange, shadowless world where objects glowed with varying degrees of intensity. But human eyes excel in other ways.

51、n wire is used to cat away the finished pot from its base on the potters wheel.After a finished pot is dried of all its moisture in the open air, it is placed in a kiln and fired.
