35、icron. One micron is a thousandth of a millimeter; a pinhead is about a millimeter across, Rod-shaped bacteria are usually from two to four microns long, while rounded ones are generally one micron across. Thus, if you magnified a rounded bacterium a thousand times, it would be just the size of a pi
36、nhead, while a grown-up human enlarged by the same amount would be over a mile tall. Even with an ordinary microscope(显微镜 ), you must look closely to see bacteria. Using a magnification of 100 times, one can hardly find bacteria. Nor can one make out anything of their structure(结构 ), of course. Only
37、 by using special colors, can one see that some bacteria have wavy-looking “hairs” called flagella. Others have only one flagellum. The flagella move round a central point, pushing the bacteria through the water. Many bacteria lack flagella and cannot move about by their own power, while others can
38、move along over surface by some little-understood “machinery”. From the bacterial point of view, the world is a very different place from what it is to humans. To a bacterium, water is as thick as molasses(糖浆 ) is to us. Bacteria are so small that they are affected by the movements of the chemical m
39、olecules(分子 ) around them. Bacteria under microscopes, even those with no flagella, often jump up and down in the water. This is because they knock with the water molecules and are pushed this way and that. 36. The underlined word magnified means _. A. enlarged B. widened C. killed D. caught 37. We
