Prominent among American artists are those numerous painters who seem truly indigenous（土生土长的），whose manner and subject matter seem to emanate （散发）from some special vitality of the new land.

Passage Three （中）
Many people are frightened by spiders(蜘蛛). They are especially afraid of large, hairy ones. The largest and most frightening of all spiders is the bird-eating spider, which lives in the hot, thick rain forests of northern South America.
Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula（狼蛛）. They are very hairy. Some of these giant spiders can spread eighteen centimeters (seven inches) with their legs. Tarantulas are not, as most people think, poisonous（有毒的） spiders. They can bite, and the bite is painful, but it will not kill a grown-up. The poisonous bite of a black widow spider is far more dangerous.
Bird-eating spiders often hide in holes and under rocks during the day, but at night they creep out and hunt for insects. As you might guess from their mane, they also catch birds and eat them.
They have another unusual ability. They can walk up windowpanes（窗玻璃） because of sticky, silky hairs on their feet that cling to glass.

Passage four （较难）
The Romans built great "aqueducts" to carry fresh water from the mountains to the cities.
罗马人建造了伟大的沟渠，把水从山上引到城市。
Many of these aqueducts are still standing today. The Romans also built great pipes under the ground to carry away the sewage. In Rome, one these sewage pipes (sewers) is still used today; it is 2,000 years old. The Roman Emperors even set up a government health service. They built the first great public hospitals in Europe, and they paid doctors to look after poor people.

They lived in dirty conditions which helped to cause diseases; and they asked God to cure the diseases. They shut up mentally sick people in prisons. Or they burnt them alive because they were supposed to have magic powers.
But the work of the Greek and roman doctors was not lost. Over a thousand years ago, the Arabs moved into many of the Mediterranean countries. They took big parts of the old roman lands. They translated the Greek and roman medical books into Arabic. Arab doctors themselves made many new discoveries.
When civilization at last came back to Europe, men once again translated the Greek and roman works on medicine into Latin. Slowly---very slowly---European doctors discovered again the things that the Greeks and Romans had known so long ago. Slowly, they began to make new discoveries. They found out more about the way the body works___ the way our blood goes round our bodies, the way our nerves send messages from our brains to our muscles, the way these muscles move our bodies.
