It is true that paper can not last long. But is there any 1 that would last as long as 2 and as easy to write on as paper? The Babylonians 3 just such a material. Recently an English man unearthed a large 4 of a king of Babylonia, whose 5 were made of clay (陶土).
This is the 6 these books were made. They just made a sheet of clay of proper 7 and thickness, and wrote on it with a sharp stick. These books of clay, 8 they had been dried and 9 in an oven (炉), could last 10 as long as stone. Such books will not 11 up in a fire 12 be spoiled (损坏) by wetness; nor will they be 13 by mice or rats. It is true that they could be 14 , but the pieces can be gathered up and 15 together. The Englishman had to work a long time with broken sheets discovered there before he 16 them all put together properly.
There were 30,000 sheets in the library.
Every book was made up of many sheets, as our books have many 17 . It was, of course, impossible to 18 them together as we 19 now with our books. So all the clay sheets had to be 20 and the name of the book placed on every one.

If you dream of going somewhere warm to escape the cold winter weather, a trip to a recently discovered planet would certainly warm you right up. The planet, named OGLE-TR-566, has temperatures of more than F. “This is the hottest planet we know about. ” says Dr. Dimitar Sasselov, a scientist who led the discovery team. “It is hot enough to have an iron fog and to rain hot iron droplets (细沫) . ”
The new planet is 30 times farther away than any planet discovered by scientists before. It is in the Milky Way (银河) but it's not in our solar (太阳的) .The new planet moves around a star much like our sun , however. Scientists discovered the planet by using a new planet-searching method, called “ transit technique. ” They were able to catch sight of the planet when it moved in front of its star, causing the star's light to dim(变暗) . Scientists compare the method to discovering the shadow of a bee flying in front of a searchlight 200 miles away. “We believe the door has been opened wide to go and discover planets like Earth.”says Sasselov.
