Have you ever 37 what that little thought would have become if you had acted on your instincts (直觉) 38 if you had paid more attention to it?Imagine a 39 , where you are sitting at home watching television or reading a book, suddenly a light is 40 on in the dark tunnel of your mind as a thought or an idea crosses your mind.

It is like finding the 46 piece of jigsaw puzzle (拼图游戏). This becomes an amazing moment and everything freezes around you as you excitedly try to grasp the practicality of that 47 but powerful thought.Your self-confidence and enthusiasm increase as you become 48 of the great possibilities that can 49 if that little thought is acted upon. This becomes the moment to build upon that thought and to put 50 any ideas that are streaming from that little thought for later review. 51 meaningless little thought or ideas when acted 52 have a potential to explode into great projects. Many successful projects have been 53 from the little positive thoughts that were carefully protected and recognized as bricks to great things.Dont waste a(n) 54 to act on a potentially brilliant idea. You dont have to wait for a major idea, or approval from your peers in order for you to act on that little thought.That little thought or idea is the 55 of great things if you decide to follow it through.36.

Although there is expert broadcasting and we are equipped with cell phones, therere still some instances when the violent weather takes us by surprise.While most Atlantic hurricanes form off the coast of Africa giving plenty of early warning, sudden Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico hurricanes form and move rapidly in less than a days time, endangering everyone and everything in their path.Thereve been oil workers trapped off the shore when sudden storms appeared. Field archeologists have been stuck in coastal areas without storm warning. It wasnt but a few decades ago that a Texas National Guard group was trapped on the beach by rain-forced flooding and had to ride out a major hurricane during a training exercise. Thereve been a few instances when travelers were trapped on an island or in a coastal area and unable to escape in time.Escaping from the storm-threatened areas is generally a choice for most of us-but not for all. Each year thousands of islanders across the Caribbean face the danger of hurricanes without so much as a public shelter to hide in. Most ride out the storm in their homes.But therere a few things you can do to prepare yourself for some unexpected emergencies. Being prepared for the unexpected may be your best and only defense. If youre headed outdoors for a few days or weeks, you should always carry a flashlight(手电筒) with extra batteries, a GPS device (装置),and a basic medical box. If youre traveling in your car, remember you may suffer from high winds. Youd better not stay inside to avoid being blown away along with your car. Keeping your head and your courage up is essential to survival in any type of danger. Let common sense guide you and always be prepared for the worst.56.

The nicotine remaining in smoked filters (滤嘴) may serve as a natural insecticide (杀虫剂), driving harmful insects away from the nests and the baby birds living within. Tobacco plants produce nicotine because it defends against insects that would otherwise eat the plants.The butts are undoubtedly smelly. But birds are actually quite fond of smelly chemicals, such as those found in aromatic (芳香的) plants. Some nest-building species regularly fill their nests with fresh aromatics, possibly because the chemicals are good for the immune system or the development of the chicks. Alternatively, the plant chemicals might act as insecticides.In the study, researchers at the Autonomous University of Tlaxcala in Mexico set up heat traps, which attract harmful insects, in 55 nests around Mexico City. Some traps were lined with the stuff in smoked cigarette filters. The others were lined with the stuff from unsmoked cigarette filters, which did not contain nicotine and other smoking by-products. Whether the nest held eggs, chicks or nothing, the unsmoked cigarette traps collected more harmful insects, suggesting that it is the chemicals that drove harmful insects away.In a second experiment, the researchers collected 28 house sparrow nests and 29 house finch (朱雀) nests from Mexico City immediately after the chicks flew out for food. They found that the more smoked filter stuff filled a nest, the fewer harmful insects it had.The missing piece of the puzzle is whether the reduced number of harmful insects in the nests actually provided any benefit to the chicks. It is also unclear if nicotine or another chemical found in cigarettes may have turned the harmful insects out of the nests.If the results hold, then this study is an example of wildlife adaptation to urbanization or at least evidence that birds are smart and can still follow their noses in urban environments.64. What may be the function of nicotine in cigarette butts for birds?A. To provide building materials for bird nests.B. To drive harmful insects away from bird nests.C. To protect the plants from being eaten by insects.D. To attract baby birds to stay in the nests.65. What is the first experiment aimed at?A. Proving that heat traps attract harmful insects in Mexico City.B. Comparing smoked cigarette filters with unsmoked ones.C. Analyzing what is produced from smoked cigarette filters.D. Studying what it is that drives harmful insects away. 66. What can you infer from the passage?A. Birds tend to use insecticide to protect the baby birds.B. Nicotine is the only chemical that drives harmful insects away.C. Some insects are a
