9、 model, I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid, The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didnt get any channels showing all

11、get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles（肌肉） shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I

12、would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether.

23、Michael hid the gun under the wood pile in his backyard Dthe Sergeant discovered the bullet in the wood pile C Chicken feathers are useful, and not just to a chicken. Some go into pillows, coats and other products. But countless chicken feathers go to waste.In the United States, billions of chickens

24、 are produced yearly. Most of their feathers are thrown away. But instead of being buried in land, some feathers could find a future in plastics.One of the products they have developed is a flowerpot（花盆）. It may look like other flowerpots. But the container breaks down in the earth within one to fiv

25、e years. And as it breaks down, it naturally becomes nutrient（营养物） in the soil.The environmentally friendly flowerpot is the work of two researchers. Walter Schmidt is with the Agricultural Research Service, part of the United States Agriculture Department. Masud Huda is with the Horticultural Resea

26、rch Institute, a private（私人） organization（组织）.Walter Schmidt has been working to find uses for chicken feathers since the 1990s.
