One day, some fishermen came to the edge of the lake with their 17. The three fish saw them.The intelligent fish decided to leave 18 to make the long, difficult trip to the ocean. He thought, “I wont 19 with these two. They will 20 weaken my determination, because they love this place so much. Their ignorance (愚昧) will keep them here.” So, the wise fish said to himself, “Im 21.”The half-intelligent fish thought, “My 22has gone. I ought to have gone with him, 23 I didnt, and now Ive lost my 24 to escape. I wish Id gone with him.”He mourned the 25 of his guide for a while, and then thought, “What can I do to 26 myself from these men and their nets? Perhaps if I pretend to be already 27! Ill swim to the surface and 28 like weeds, just giving myself 29 to the water. To die before I die.” So he did that. He moved up and down, helpless, in front of the fishermen.“Look at this! The best and biggest fish is dead.” One of the men 30 him by the tail and threw him up on the ground. He rolled over and over and slid (滑) secretly near the water, and then, back in. 31, the third fish, the stupid one, was agitatedly (焦虑不安地) jumping about, 32 to escape.The net, of course, 33 closed around him, and as he lay in the 34 frying-pan, he thought, “If I get out of this, Ill never live again in the limits of the 35.

This enabled Dr Ravi and his team to control the airflow(气流) the bees had to deal with. The researchers say their study could aid the design of “micro air vehicles” that remain stable in bad weather. They explained in a paper in the Journal of Experimental Biology that they had studied bumblebees because they were “all-weather flyers”, which was quite different from other species of bees.Dr Ravi said: “As we have all experienced, the wind speed and direction outdoors can be very variable, so maintaining a stable flight can be extremely challenging in the changeable wind speed and direction. The best micro air vehicles with a wingspan of less than 25cm available today struggle to fly stably even when there is a light breeze. Yet, many insects seem to be capable of flying even in extreme wind conditions.”Using a wind tunnel allowed the researchers to recreate these conditions. They filmed the bees using high-speed cameras in order to replay their flight in very slow motion and discover how the insects adjusted their flight according to the airflow.The film revealed that the bees reduced their speed in unsteady winds, which seemed to allow them to use more energy to correct their flight path.“The bumblebees also seemed to be more easily influenced by disturbances(湍流) that pushed them sideways as opposed to up and down,” explained Dr Ravi. “The bees rolled considerably to change course and correct their path for the disturbances caused by the wind.”The scientist said that a better understanding of how natural flyers dealt with the turbulent wind would help “greatly” in the design of micro air vehicles that flew in bad weather.He added: “We are currently conducting more experiments including flying other insects in similar wind conditions and identifying the influence of pollen(花粉) and/or honey on the flight stability of the bees.”36. In the wind tunnel, researchers . A. could control the directions of the bees B. could take control of the airflow C. could design micro air vehicles D. could replay the flight of the bees37.

However, there are a number of things that you should look into when you are choosing a magazine subscription. When you subscribe, youll be receiving copies of the magazine for a long time before you can change your subscription. So you need to ensure the subscriptions are convenient for you.The first step when choosing a magazine subscription is to pick out a magazine. There are many magazines, and they give different content and discuss different topics. Therefore, you can choose a magazine which has content that appeals to you. If you want a magazine that deals with health topics, then you can pick one of the nursing magazines. However, if youre looking for a general magazine for everyone, then the family fun magazine might be the best choice for you. This will help you save a lot of money since you will not have to buy a separate magazine for everyone.The mode of payment is the other thing you should look into when choosing a magazine subscription. Its always advisable that you choose a magazine that has flexible (灵活的) payment options. There are some that dont require you to pay for the magazines using a credit card. This is convenient for a number of people who prefer to use other options such as PayPal. In addition, you can also choose a subscription you can pay for later in case you do not have enough money at the time.Before subscribing to any magazine, you should always check the quality of customer service. This is necessary in case you have a problem with your subscription and you need assistance. Therefore, you have to confirm that you can access both the online and offline help whenever you need it. This is also an assurance that the marketers of the magazines care about their customers. If you meet with any difficulty in subscribing, then you can ask the customer care for assistance.One of the key features of magazine subscriptions is that theyre normally sold at a discount. However, there are some greedy marketers who offer you some subscriptions with hidden charges. In some cases, you might find that due to these hidden charges, you end up paying more than the cover price. Its wise that you confirm there are no hidden charges before you subscribe. This will help you save much money on magazines. So you need to read thoroughly through all the details of subscribing before making any paymentsConsiderations for choosing a magazine subscriptionThe choice of a magazine Magazines (41)_in content and topics.
