单选题{{B}}Passage Five{{/B}}
What produces a waterproof super glue,
acts like a vacuum cleaner, and even teaches scientists about gene repair? The
humble little shellfish known as the mussel (贻贝)。 Mussels are
found worldwide. Some live in the sea. Others inhabit freshwater streams and
lakes. When you try to move a mussel from a rock, you will discover what an
incredibly firm grip it has- a necessity if the mussel is to resist the sharp
grab of a hungry seabird or the pounding waves of the sea. How does it manage to
cling so tight? When it choose a place to set up home, it pokes its
tongue-shaped foot out of its shell and presses it against a solid surface.
Special glands give off a fluid mixture of proteins into a channel that runs the
length of the foot. The liquid quickly hardens into a fine, elastic thread about
an inch long. Then a tiny pad-like structure at the end of this thread gives off
some natural glue-like substance, the mussel lifts its foot, and anchor line
number one is complete. These strategically placed threads form a bundle, which
ties the mussel to its new home in much the same way that ropes hold down a
tent. The whole procedure takes only three or four minutes.
Imagine having a very strong glue that is non-toxic and so flexible that
it can penetrate the tiniest holes and corners, sticking to any surface, even
under water. Shipbuilders would welcome it for repairing vessels without the
expense of dry-docking them. Auto-body workers would like a really waterproof
paint that keeps the rust out. Surgeons would value a safe glue to join broken
bones and to close wounds... The list of possible uses appears
endless. However, scientists are not thinking of using the
mussels themselves to produce this super glue. It would take some l0.000
shellfish to make just one gram of glue. So collection enough mussels to supply
the world's demand for super glue would wipe out the mussel population, many
species of which are already endangered. Instead, American researchers have
isolated and cloned the genes for five mussel glue proteins, and they are about
to mass-produce them in the laboratory. However, the mussel is still one jump
ahead. Only the mussel instinctively knows the exact blend of proteins needed
for each kind of surface. Molecular biologist Frank Roberto has asked
admiringly: "How are you ever going to imitate
that?"

numerous amendments. A 1990 amendment renamed the law the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). IDEA requires public schools
{{U}}(3) {{/U}} a free and appropriate education to all disabled
children. The law also requires that all children with disabilities between the
ages of 3 and 21 receive support services, such as {{U}}(4) {{/U}} or
physical therapy, {{U}}(5) {{/U}} the type or seriousness of their
disability. {{U}}(6) {{/U}} the provisions of IDEA, schools must

officials provide each child with a comprehensive {{U}}(8) {{/U}}

children with speech difficulties. IDEA also requires schools to
give parents the opportunity to assist in the development and {{U}}(9)
{{/U}} of their child's education plan. The plan specifies goals for the
student's education, methods to achieve those goals, and services to be
provided. Each student's education plan is reviewed {{U}}(10) {{/U}}. To
the maximum extent appropriate, a child with a disability must be educated with
children who do not have disabilities. In addition, IDEA requires that older
children with disabilities receive transition services to assist in the change
from school to adult activities, {{U}}(11) {{/U}} employment, continuing
education, and finding a place to live. IDEA provides federal financial support
for schools to develop special education programs. Other federal
laws prohibit discrimination {{U}}(12) {{/U}} disability. Section
