What’s water

The students were having their chemistry (化学) class. Miss Li was telling the children what water was like. After that, she asked her students,“ What’s water?” No one spoke for a few minutes. Miss Li asked again,“ Why don’t you answer my question? Didn’t I tell you water is like?” Just then a boy put up his hand and said,“ Miss Li, you told us that water has no color and no smell. But where to find such kind of water? The water in the river behind my house is always black and it has a bad smell. ”Most of the children agreed with him.“ I’m sorry, children.” Said the teacher, “Our water is getting dirtier and dirtier. That’s a problem.”

       无名指和小指，体态秀丽，样子可爱，然而，能力薄弱也无过于它们了。无名指本身 的用处多用于研脂粉、蘸药末、戴戒指。小指的用处则更渺小，只是掏掏耳朵、抹抹鼻涕而已。他们也有被重用的时候，在丝竹管弦上，他们的能力不让于其他手指。舞蹈演员的手指不是常作兰花状吗？这两根手指正是这朵兰花中最优美的两瓣。除了这等享乐的风光事以外，遇到工作他们只是其他手指的附庸。 

1．无名指和小指的特点是                                             。 

2．“渺小”的意思是____                                    。“附庸”的意思是                                        。这两个词都带有贬义的意思，是说无名指和小指在五指中的                                                     。 

3．尽管“渺小、附庸”带有贬义，但文章字里行间却掩饰不住对无名指和小指的喜爱。你能找到这样的句子，并用“——”画出来吗？然后请说说作者喜爱他们的原因。
