efficiently Para 4-6:
What was the writer’s three attempts to catch
the snakes? Why did the first two attempts
fail?
The first attempt:
The writer placed the frozen bowl over the
snakes’ habitat for two hours.
Two hours was too short to make the snakes
sleepy. She needed to spend more time cooling
the snakes.The second attempt:
The writer placed the frozen bowl over the
snakes’ habitat in the evening for a whole night.
Once the snakes were picked up, they were
woken and tried to bite her.
The third attempt:
The writer placed the frozen bowl over the
snakes’ habitat in the evening and carry a net
to collect the snakes without harming them the
next morning.3. What are the two improvements that the
writer makes to catch the snakes without
hurting them?
1) She bought a stainless steel ice-cream
maker and froze the bowl. She added
ice-cubes to the top of the bowl to keep
it cool. She placed it over the snakes’
habitat during the day so that the snakes
would become sleepy and could be easily
caught.1) As above she did the same but placed the
bowl over the snakes’ habitat in the evening.2) As above but added a net to catch the
snakes.4. Why did cooling make the snakes less active? Snakes don’t have a way of keeping warm in
their bodies. They get warmth from the sun
and become more active at this time. When
the sun goes down at night they cool down
and become less active. So extra cooling to
the snake would make them even less active
and easier to catch.Patent office (专利局) plays the role of deciding what is an invention and what is not. And only inventions can get patents and so be recognized and protected.patentsYou are able to prove that you were
the first person to make the invention.
