majority of people today live near water. we live along coastlines, around bays, up the course of rivers and streams and on islands. we also vacation at the beach and find comfort fishing on a lake. nothing makes small children happier than the chance of playing in water.more surprisingly, this human favor for water makes evolutionary(进化的)sense. sure, we need drinking water to live, but we have also benefited from whats swimming under the waves.neuroscientist crawford of the university of north london has proposed that our ancient ancestors attached to the sea, and that their devotion paid off by allowing the human species to develop large and complex brains.crawford claims that when humans separated from apes(类人猿)and appeared in the forests of africa, they stuck close to rivers and beaches and started catching fish, clams and crabs. that seafood was packed with omega3 fatty acids, essential fatty acids that promote brain cell growth.its no coincidence, crawford claims, that human brain growth began to increase rapidly once we left the woods and headed for the beach.scientists have also discovered that people who eat fish regularly are less likely to suffer from depression than those who eat less seafood. biochemist hibbelin of the national institutes of health has shown that across cultures there is a direct link between amount of fish eaten each week and rates of depression. more interestingly, hibbelin and researcher laura have found that fish is commonly used as a symbol of happiness and good health in various religions and cultures.we know that fish and the sea are good for us, and so we seek them out. we vacation on the coast and see the waves come and go, feeling happiness has taken over our brain. when we move inland, or go home from vacation, we lose touch with our sea roots and feel unhappy.文章大意：这是一篇说明文。喜欢水并寻找有水的地方是人类的天性。1to explain humans favor for water, the author _.alists some examplesbcompares some factscanalyzes some

own sticky hairs near the roots and then absorb nutrients through their roots when the insects are killed and fall to the ground.professor mark chase, of kew and queen mary, university of london, said, the cultivated (改良的) tomatoes and potatoes still have the hairs. tomatoes in particular are covered with these sticky hairs. they do trap small insects on a regular basis. they do kill insects.the number of these carnivorous plants is thought to have came up to 50 percent and many of them have until now been wrongly regarded as among the most harmless plants. among them are species of petunia (矮牵牛), some special tobacco plants and cabbages, some varieties of potatoes and tomatoes, etc. researchers at royal botanical gardens kew, which carried out the study, now believe there are hundreds more killer plants than previously realized.it is thought that the technique was developed in the wild to get necessary nutrients in poor quality soil and even various plants grown in your vegetable garden still have the ability.the researchers, publishing their finding in the botanical journal of the linnean society, said, “we may be surrounded by many more murderous plants than we think.” “we are accustomed to thinking of plants as being immobile and harmless, and there is something deeply frightening about the thought of meat-eating plants,” they added.72. tomatoes and

co-workers promoted, or transferred to a different department. but there is another way to move aroundby creating a new position for yourself. i did this several years ago, though i wasnt actively looking for a different job. in 2007, i was hired at the transamerica life insurance company, as a customer service representative in the distributions services department. i processed requests for

been doing and start the new work. in a relatively short time, i was able to make numerous improvements and reduce the number of letters to 70. it was an informal job change until a managers meeting several months later. at that meeting, a vice president who was unaware of my new work mentioned that the divisions entire stock of 1,700 letters should be reviewed. my manager told her that she knew
