The bird 35 has the hardest job. When it gets 36 , it moves behind, and another bird moves into the lead. By sharing the role, the group can travel great distances. Geese flying in a V shape can fly 70 percent farther without 37 than birds flying alone.
During the long flying journey, geese communicate with one another. They honk（鸣叫）to 38 the birds up front to keep up the speed. They also cheer each other up 39 working toward a common goal.

Have you ever seen a UFO Maybe you have read something about the UFO
It’s sometimes 81 that strange objects have been found high up 82 . These unidentified flying objects—UFOs have made a lot of people 83 since many years ago. Some of the reports about them are 84 to believe. Some have been 85 scientific ways, others have never been explained.
It’s not easy to decide 86 a report is true or not. One report of UFOs came from a British plane on its way 87 New York to London in 1954. The plane was flying at 19,000 feet when the captain noticed that something was their left and a little lower than their plane. It was about five miles away.
“It was not one object but several.” The captain said. “We saw one large and six smaller objects. I 88 out a radio to report about them and I 89 the answer that the other planes were coming out to meet us. Before the planes arrived, the smaller objects entered the 90 object.

You’re minding your own business. Suddenly, you look up to see your big brother coming towards you. He’s giggling(痴笑) from ear to ear. His arms are stretched out, fingers shaking slightly. You try to get away, but there’s no way to 91 . Before you know it, he’s tickling(抓痒逗笑) you, and you can’t stop laughing.
Most of us don’t like to be tickled. We try everything to move our way out of a tickle. Yet no matter how much we dislike being tickled, we always end up laughing.
Why do people laugh when they are tickled That’s 92 scientist Christine Harris of San Diego, California, wanted to find out. First, Harris and her friends needed to practice. They spent some time tickling each other. Then they gathered a group of students who were ready to be tickled in the name of science.
Next, Harris’s 93 observed how hard the students laughed at different TV shows. They wanted to know about that type of laughter which is different from laughter caused by tickling. Then the team tickled the student volunteers under the arms and on the toes(脚趾). As part of the research, Harris’s team even used a tickle machine with parts that 94 shaking fingers!
What were the results of this tickling research Harris’s team found that people do not laugh because tickling is funny. People simply cannot stop themselves from laughing when they are tickled. The scientists decided that ticklish laughter may be a special kind of action. This action happens 95 a person’s control or effort.
So, have all questions about tickling been answered Has Harris tickled her last toe It’s unlikely. It seems that humans are not the only living things that giggle when they are tickled. Young chimpanzees also 96 to tickle one another during their play. They, too, seem to chuckle(吃吃地笑) when they are tickled.

A survey showed that people in Chicago are the most caffeinated(咖啡因的) in the United States. People in Chicago eat more chocolate and drink more cola than people in other US cities, and are among the top consumers of energy drinks and coffee.
They are also likely to say caffeine is good for you, according to the survey conducted by Prince Market Research. Tampa, Miami, Phoenix and Atlanta rounded out the top five most caffeinated cities, while people of San Francisco, Philadelphia, New York, Detroit and Baltimore consumed the 97 caffeine. “It’s surprising perhaps that some places, which you may think have a busy life like San Francisco, Philadelphia and New York, need more caffeine,” said Todd Smith, a spokesman for Health Saver, a healthcare expert that carried out the survey.
The survey focused on the consumption of coffee, tea, chocolate, sodas, energy drinks and caffeine pills in twenty major cities in the United States by 98 2,000 people. Seattle took the top spot in just caffeinated coffee consumption. Nearly 60 per cent of residents in the city said coffee would be the most 99 caffeine product to give up.
The 100 popularity of “high-end” coffees, energy drinks and green tea has added to more caffeine consumption around the world, according to Health Saver. Half of all the people questioned in the survey said they drank coffee every day, followed by 21 per cent who drank caffeinated cola.
New Yorkers and San Franciscans were also among people who prefer to say caffeine is bad for you. 101 70 percent of people involved in the survey said they were addicted to（对……上瘾） caffeine. The older the age group, the more 102 they were to say coffee would be the hardest caffeinated product to give up.

Water is another thing that cities get from the country. Everyone needs water every day. We use a little of it for 106 . But we use even more to fill bath tubs, run showers and wash streets.
The water used by cities comes mostly from rain. But people cannot use the rain that falls on cities. The rain becomes dirty as it falls through dirty air. Once it hits city buildings or streets, the rain will 107 up more dirt. It isn’t good for drinking or bathing.
So the cities must reach out to the 108 country for water. There, the rain falls through air onto trees and grass. The fallen rain runs into rivers and lakes. So it is important to keep both cities and the country clean.

When skin is open to very cold air, the short of warm blood can 133 to hurt from coldness. So we learn from some animals living in cold areas such as polar bears. Scientists working in polar areas, for example, dress in warm clothes which keep warm air close to the body like 134 does.
