An empty drinking glass and an empty room, in fact, are not really empty. Each is filled with air. When the glass is filled with water, the water pushes the air out of the glass.Air, as a gas, has no definite shape, but because it is matter, it takes up space and it has weight. It is easy to prove that air is something that takes up space. Stuff a piece of dry cloth（布）into the bottom of a glass so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside down. Push the upside down glass, holding straight up and down, into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken out of the water, the cloth is still dry. The air inside the glass shows that it takes up space and keeps the water from coming in.（1）Since air is matter, it has _. A . room, and weight as wellB . both room and shapeC . either room or weightD . neither shape nor weight（2）The word Stuff means _ in Chinese. A . 撕B . 盖C . 取掉D . 塞（3）The writer tells that the experiment（实验）_. A . is carried out in the spaceB . must be done in the labC . is made in the roomD . can only be done in the open air17. （10分） My parents divorced when I was 8 years old.

I got some ideas from my grandfather and named it Mothers Tool Box. She was excited, more at the thought of being cared for on Fathers Day than of the present.

The fact that he was colorblind didnt stop him and he has created over 200 designs now.Business was slow the first year, but then Brennan started pushing his HoopSwagg products heavily on the Internet. Orders soon started coming in in large numbers, and HoopSwagg became a popular brand among custom sock lovers.
