16、e last two years more than 2,200 rhinos were killed for their horns. These numbers are alarming, because current rates of illegal hunting are faster than birth rates, which could lead to extinction for these ecologically important creatures in their environment. Indeed, some elephant and rhino popul

17、ations are on track to be locally extinct within the next decade.If you are reading this, you may already be aware of these facts. But you might not know that wildlife trafficking (走私) not only threatens the existence of elephants and rhinos but is also leading to extinction of other species, such a

18、s tigers, tortoises, sea turtles and the worlds most trafficked mammal(哺乳动物) pangolins.Pangolins are the only mammals that are entirely covered in tough scales(鳞), which makes them look very strong. But actually they are endangered mammals. There are eight different kinds of pangolins, four in Asia

19、and four in Africa, and all are threatened with extinction. Although pangolins are protected throughout most of the countries where they live, high demand in East Asia, where the delicious pangolin meat is considered a delicacy and where their scales are used in traditional medicines, is driving an

20、illegal trade in both live animals and pangolin parts. The number of pangolin trafficking is shocking. Experts believe that over the last 10 years more than 1 million pangolins were taken from the wild. It is estimated that between 40,000 and 81,250 pangolins were killed for the illegal trade in 201

It may not be a cloud, but a Flogo - a logo that flies. Its a new form of advertising in the sk

26、y thats never been used before. Its a different way to market your products, logos, and events.These funny logos are made with soap bubbles （肥皂泡） mixed with a little helium gas （氦气） ,which makes them lighter than air and float in the sky. Special machines are used to make these new funny Flogos. The

27、 machine, which can be rented for $ 2,500 a day, can make a Flogo every 15-25 seconds.Flogos can fly much higher or lower if needed. They can last from a few minutes to an hour anywhere in the sky, depending on the weather conditions. Though they can fly up to 20, 000 feet, they usually float around

28、 at 300- 500 feet. Flogos are only white now, but people hope to have more colorful Flogos in the near future.Flogos are Green, 100% environmentally safe, because the soap used to make the Flogo comes from plants and leaves.

33、lked towards the restaurant. “American people are really strange. They even eat dinners on the house! But how can I get onto the top of the house?” he asked himself.

34、at him, “Hey, what are you doing up there?”Mr. Smith was looking at him angrily. Beside him was a policeman. “Doesnt your notice say Meals on the house for three days?

39、tion. Jenny was angry with this, but she learned a deep lesson: Texting while walking is dangerous. This time I just fell into a sewer. Next time I didnt know what would happen. Maybe I would be knocked down by a car or something else. It was horrible.Jenny may be famous for her mistake. After that,

40、 she was laughed at by her friends and workmates. She_what she had done. But it was too late. However, she wasnt the only one who got into trouble while texting on the phone.

45、earchers are trying to figure out.“Laughter above all else is a social thing,” says Baltimore neuroscientist(神经科学家), Robert Provine, who has studied laughter for many years. “All laughter groups laugh ha-ha-ha basically the same way. Whether you speak Mandarin, French or English, everyone will under

46、stand laughter. There is a pattern generator(发生器) in our brain that produces this sound.”Laughing is our first way of communicating. Babies laugh long before they speak. No one teaches them how to laugh. They just do. People may laugh at a prank(恶作剧) on April Fools Day. But surprisingly, only 10 to

47、15 percent of laughter is the result of someone making a joke. Laughter is mostly about social responses rather to a joke. Deaf people laugh without hearing and people on cell phones laugh without seeing, showing that laughter isnt dependent on single sense but on social interactions.And laughter is

48、 not just a people thing. Chimps tickle(挠痒) each other and even laugh when another chimp pretends to tickle them.Jaak Panksepp, a Bowling Green University Psychology professor, studies rats that laugh when he tickles them. It turns out rats love to be tickled they return again and again to the hands

49、 of researchers tickling them.By studying rats, scientists can_whats going on in the brain during laughter. Northwestern University biomedical engineering professor, Jeffrey Burgdorf has found that laughter in rats produces a chemical that acts as an antidepressant(抗抑郁药). He thinks the same thing pr

50、obably happens in humans, too. This would give doctors a new chemical target to develop drugs that can fight depression.Even so, laughter itself has not been proved to be the best medicine, experts said. Margaret Stuber, a professor at University of California, studied whether laugher helped patient

51、s. She found that distraction(分心) and mood improvement helped, but she could not find a benefit of laughter alone.“No study has shown that laughter produces a direct health benefit,” Provine said, mainly because its hard to separate laughter from just feeling good. But he thinks it doesnt really mat

Many cultures believed that comets were messages s

55、ent by gods, and people thought these messages were warning signs for bad behavior. But today science and technology give us a better understanding of comets.Last week, comet Ison ended its million-year-long journey as it flew straight toward the sun, melting most of the comet. It was hoped that com

56、et Ison would survive this trip around the sun. Because once it got near Earth, it would have produced a great show of lights for us.In ancient times, the coming of comet Ison might have scared people. However, now we can track a comets journey in our solar system. We can also study what theyre made

57、 of. There is even a project to launch a spacecraft onto a comet to study them further.Although from the sky they look like great giant fireballs, comets are a collection of gas, ice, dust and small rocks. As a comet goes into our solar system, the suns solar winds blow some of the dust and gas away

58、, giving the comet a tail. The average size of comets is about 10 kilometers in diameter(直径). But amazingly, their tails can be 150 kilometers long! Comet Isons diameter was about 5 kilometers.Today, people dont fear comets as much as they did before. Western countries have even developed and old tradition. When people see a comet or meteoroid(流星) shooting across the sky, they call it a shooting star, People who get the chance to see one get to make a wish. It is a tradition that lives on today.1（小题1）In ancient times, people thou
