Gillette for a safety“ razor ” . KinGillette was born in Fond du lac, Wisconsin in 1885. To support himself when t

36、he family s home wthe Chicago Fire of 1871, Gillette became a traveli ng salesma n. This work led him to William Pain ter, the inven tor of the disposable（ 一次性的）Crow n Cork bottle cap, who assured Gillette that a successful inven tio n was one that was purchased over and over aga in by satisfied cus

37、tomer.In 1895, after several years of considering and rejecting possible inventions, Gillette suddenly had a brilliant idea while shaving one morning. It was an entirely new razor（ 剃刀）and blade（刀片）that flashed in his mind-a razor with a safe, in expe nsive, and disposable blade.It took six years for

38、 Gillette s idea tevolve. During that time, technical experts told Gillette that it would be impossible to produce steel that was hard, thin, and in expe nsive eno ugh for commercial developme nt of the disposable razor blade. The n in 1901. MIT graduate William Nickers on agreed to try.By 1903, he

39、had succeeded. Producti on of the Gillette R safety razor and blade bega n as the Gillette Safety Razor Compa ny started operati ons in South Bost on Sales grew steadily. During World War I, the U.S. Government issued Gillette safety razors to the entire armed forces. By the end of the war, some 3.5

44、, make frien ds, let others know how they feel, start and stop fights, an d warn others of dan ger. Here are some of the more unu sual ways that ani mals talk.Dogs bark, cats meow, birds chirp. We re pretty familiar with these forms of com muni cati on. But ani mals use sounds in other ways, too. To

45、 find a mate, the male ruffed grouse sta nds on a hollow log and beats his win gs, making a drum ming sound. The hollow log amplifies the sound so that it can be heard for up to a quarter of a mile. Mole rats（鼹鼠）use a banging sound for the opposite reason. They like to live alone. So they warn other

46、 mole rates to stay out of their way by banging（ 猛撞）their heads on the top of their tunnels（地道）.Ani mals use touch to com muni cate in many ways. Biti ng, kick ing, and hitt ing send obvious messages, but touch can also be used in friendly ways. Chimpanzees（黑猩猩）will touch hands to greet each other.

47、Many primates groom each other as a way to show frien dship, removi ng bits of dirt or in sects from each other s fur.Elepha nt may touch trunks in greeti ng.Dancing is another way to talk.

48、ggli ng its body and moving in ways that tell the other bees which direct ion to go and how far to fly.Some creatures eve n put their message in lights. Each type of firefly has its own flash ing code. This helps males and females find mates of the same species. The lights not only tell what kind of

49、 firefly it is, they also guide the in sects to each other. Color can also be importa nt. The cuttlefish turns differe nt colors to show how it feels. When it s ready to fight, it turns a dark color.Ano ther way to com muni cate without actually being there is through smell.A gazelle（瞪羚）has special

50、scent glands（臭腺）near its eyes that it rubs on branches to mark its territory. When other gazelles pick up the smell, they realize that this territory has already been claimed. Many animals mark territory by smell, in clud ing domestic cats and their wild cous ins.The ways ani mals com muni cate are

51、as varied as the creatures and the messages they want to send. By observ ing carefully, we can lear n more about what they mean.In what order are the sen ses discussed in this passage?A. Sou nd, Touch, Smell, SightC. Sight, Sou nd, Smell, TouchWhat is the main idea of the passage?A. Ani mals show em
