10 Spider:

9 B  w' H5 A3 Q/ |4 _

Before moving on to a new topic, I'd like to finish up our unit on arachnids ,by looking at what it may seem a very unusual on aspect of spider behavior,a spicies where young spiders actually consume the body of their mother. Unlike most other spiders , this species lay one and only one clutch of forty eggs at their life-time. The young spiders hatch in mid- spring or in early summer , inside a nest of ellicptical (eucalyptus) leaves. Their mother spends the warm summer months bringing home large insects. Often ten times can wait（her weight） for meal. The catch is always significantly more than their young spiders can eat.So the mother fattens herself up on this extra prey
% G+ `% p* d( V* band stores the nutrients on her extra unfertilized eggs. As the winter (weather) turns colder, there are fewer insects prey to hunt. That’s when the nutrients stored in those(the) extra eggs begins to seep into their mother’s bloodstream . So when there are no more insects to seek (feed) on the young spiders. They attach themselves to their mothers leg joint. And $ d/ R( T, ?& f' ~" I2 }  A& k
drawing (draw) nurishment (nourishment) $ O9 P- `- ]# L* E. j7 j7 C$ f
by seeking( sucking ) the nutrient-rich food.

After seval weeks, the mother is depleted of all nutrients and she dies. But then how do young men get nurishment (nourishment)? They start to seed (feed) on one another. Now if you recall our discussion of Darwin , you’ll see% w6 m. X1 ?- Z4 I. A
the evolutionary value of this . Only the stronggest spiders of the clutch will survive this cannibalism. And the mother spiders have ensured that their (her) genes have an increased (the) chance of suvival through future generations.

11Kangaroogaroo

$ x8 B9 Q3 e! _  {

Now we are entring kangaroogaroo country. In all, there are more than 50 different species of kangaroo and the advantage of zoos like ours is as(that) you see them in their natural habitats. The ones we have all live in the grasslands. On my right, you can see what is(one of) the biggest types, the red kangaroo. It travels about 20 miles per an hour. It looks like hard work but hopping actually lets the kangaroo conserve more energy than the other(another) animals when running on four legs. In fact , up to a certain point , the faster a kangaroo goes, the more enegy it conserves. Rather than taking more hopping(hops) to increase speed, the kangaroo makes the length of each jump longer. # L/ k1 b" W7 I/ P- ~7 Q
Let’s stop here for a minute , take a look over on your right , there’s a(at the) group of kangaroo resting. Can you see that their ears are moving? Hearing may well be kangaroo’s most important sense. Their two large ears can move independently. So sometimes one is putting(pointing) forward and the other is(toward the rear) . Kangaroo’s eyesight is also excellent.They have a wide field of vision and like most breezing(grazing) animals, they are specially good at detecting movement. Before we move on , I’d like to point out one more thing. If you look closely, you can see its joey . That’s a baby kangaroo, peering out of its mother’s pouch. Before long, that joey will be out of pouch for good. The mother will push it out by the time it is eight months old.

As doctor ever Miller mentioned, we are trying to recuit volunteers for the hockhawk mountain sanctuary. But before I get into the details of volunteer programme, I just like to tell you a little about what we do there. One of our main jobs is to keep the detailed records of migration patterns of raptors . For those of you who don't know ,raptors are birds of prey, like hocks or eagles.Between August and December, we see around 20 different species migrate from Canada to New England ,about 20000 birds. Part of what attracts them to hock mountain is the location on the east ridge of xx mountain.What happens if is that sun warms the ridge ofin such a way , that air currents are formed. The birds are just sort of glide along on the air, so they use up very little energy. As volunteers, you'll be helping keep accurate concepts counts ofraptors,any draw drop in numbers could mean someting's gone wrong in the environment ,because it testify all of pesticides or disease ,even hunting.8 W2 s+ ]+ u* l" C- O* m. w' x: D1 o
We just had a sacre with broad wind wings tops hawks, their numbers have dropped drastically over the past two last ten  years. It was suggested that birds may have changed their migratery migratory route. So for 11 days , we have had several hundred volenteers,station at stationed every five miles, to observe and count , and sure enough to discovere that instead of the hugging the XX as they've 'd alway done , the broad wind wings were cutting a overwide path over the XX river. Needless to say, we were greatly relieved.

Today I’d like to turn our attention to aan area of management that was often overlooked in the traditional management courses ---small business management. Small businesses have gone from being traditoanl asmll-town stores selling food or clothing to sophisticated , high-tech entreprises . And in addition to the important products they produce, they treat create jobs for a lot of them, because there are so many of them. It’s important for the managersmanagement to keep in mind what which of

Writing a business plan that everyone in the businessorganization understands asand follows, will help to provide necessary direction and focus, it’s important to staystate clearly what the purpose of the business is.

It can’t afford to waste the its imited resouces. and As you know, waste leads to unnecessarily high production costs.

2 i5 c" A3 G& {% n4 ?In our lab today, we will be testing the hypothesis that babyies can count at(as early as) five months of age. The six babies here are all less than six months old. You’ll be watching (them) on close(closed-circuit) TV闭路电视, and measuring their resonses. The experiment is based on the well-eatablished observation that the babies will stare longer if they don’t see what they expect to see. First, we are going to let two dogs（dolls） move (slowly) in front of babies. The babies will see two dogs（dolls） disappear behind a screen. Your job is to record in seconds how long the babies stare then (when) the screeen is removed. In the next stage, two dogs（dolls） will again move in front of the babies and disappear, but then a third dog will follow. After the screen is removed, the babies will see two dogs（dolls）. If we were right, the baby will now stare longer, because they expext three, but only see two. It seems remarkable to think that such young children can count. My own research has convinced me they have this ability from birth. Whether they do or not, herhaps we should raise another question, should we take advantage of this ability by teaching young children mathematics at such a young age?

Today we are goning to talk about shyness and discuss recent research on ways to help children (learn to) interact socially. Many people consider themselves shy. In fact, 40% of people who took part in our survey said they were shy. That’s two out of every five people. There are studies to indicate that tendency towards shyness may be <inherited>.

One researcher found (that) if parents gently push their (shy) children to try new things. They can help these children become less afraid and less (inhibited内向的，怯懦的) . Another way to help shy children is to train them in social skills. For example, there are special training groups（where）children （are tought things like looking）at other children when talking to them, talking about other peoplr’s interests and even smiling. These groups have been very successful (at giving shy) children a place (to) feel safe and accepted, (and at)building up thier <self-esteem>.
