Now, typically, we think of frogs as living in wet environments.
But for frogs who live in dry places, with desert-like
conditions, this can be a problem. Frogs have been able to
survive in such areas by having different physical features,
special dry-climate features that help them maintain an
adequate level of moisture in their cells and avoid drying out.

S_ _ _ frogs do this by preventing water loss thr _ _ _ _ their

Some frogs do this by preventing water loss through their
skin. By creating a sort of covering over their skin, they
greatly reduce their skin’s exposure to the dry air. The
covering acts like a barrier that locks in moisture.

A specially modified internal organ inside their bodies enables
them to have a high water-storage capacity. So the frogs are
able to absorb and store moisture during wet rainy times
which they can rely on to get through dry periods.

When it does rain, the frog absorbs wa _ _ _ through its skin

When it does rain, the frog absorbs water through its skin and
its bladder stretches to hold this extra water. The water is
then slowly released from the special bladder into the frog’s
internal tissues until the next rain which might not be for
several months.

And how new busi _ _ _ _ owners often encounter a l _ _ of
obstacles. But one w _ _ to get an easier start is through
franchising. That's when there's already a well-kn _ _ _,
established company a_ _ you open up a new branch of that
comp_ _ _ in a new location. Your new business will be a part
o_ the larger established company with the sa _ _ name and
it'll be run just like the ot _ _ _ branches of that company.

And how new business owners often encounter a lot of
obstacles. But one way to get an easier start is through
franchising. That's when there's already a well-known,
established company and you open up a new branch of that
company in a new location. Your new business will be a part
of the larger established company with the same name and
it'll be run just like the other branches of that company.

Now, one great advantage of franchising i _ that the company
provides training to you and all of y _ _ _ employees. They teach
you about a _ _ the aspects of the business a _ _ you're given a
plan to follow for success. So, you don't h _ _ _ to do the

Now, one great advantage of franchising is that the company
provides training to you and all of your employees. They teach
you about all the aspects of the business and you're given a
plan to follow for success. So, you don't have to do the
training yourself or come up with your own business plan.

For ex _ _ _ _ _ , if you're opening up a new division of a
restaurant that sells piz _ _ , say. Somebody from the company
will come to the restaurant that you're op _ _ _ _ _ and they'll
train you and your empl _ _ _ _ _ in how to prepare the pizzas,
how t _ take food orders, plus everything about h _ _ to
operate the restaurant so it'll be run exa _ _ _ _ like all the
other restaurants in t _ _ company.

For example, if you're opening up a new division of a
restaurant that sells pizza, say. Somebody from the company
will come to the restaurant that you're opening and they'll
train you and your employees in how to prepare the pizzas,
how to take food orders, plus everything about how to operate
the restaurant so it'll be run exactly like all the other
restaurants in the company.

The restaurant is alr _ _ _ _ well-known because it has such
good pizza. So when you open your o _ _ restaurant with the
same name in a new loc _ _ _ _ _ , people know your pizza's
going to b_ really good, t _ _. They'll go to your restaurant
bec _ _ _ _ they already trust they'll h _ _ _ a good experience
there.

The restaurant is already well-known because it has such
good pizza. So when you open your own restaurant with the
same name in a new location, people know your pizza's going
to be really good, too. They'll go to your restaurant because
they already trust they'll have a good experience there.

Roads, paved ro _ _ _ are everywhere and sometimes seem

Roads, paved roads are everywhere and sometimes seem like
part of the natural landscape. But, of course, roads are not
part of nature and, if fact, road construction can have harmful
effects on the environment and seriously impact both animal
life and plant life.

One harm _ _ _ environmental effect of roads is that they
contribute t _ the movement of pl _ _ _ species from one area
to anot _ _ _. This causes problem for existing plants, plants
already growing in that a _ _ _ because when a new plant
species gets into a _ area where it wasn’t growing before, the
new plants compete for res _ _ _ _ _ _ with existing plant life.

One harmful environmental effect of roads is that they
contribute to the movement of plant species from one area to
another. This causes problem for existing plants, plants
already growing in that area because when a new plant
species gets into an area where it wasn’t growing before, the
new plants compete for resources with existing plant life.

Also roads, especially major highways, can act a _ barriers
and divide up an animal’s habitat into smal _ _ _ ones where
there is not eno _ _ _ food to support the population. These
busy highways, with cars speeding past day and n _ _ _ _, act
like boundaries that ani _ _ _ _ are afraid to cross.

Also roads, especially major highways, can act as barriers and
divide up an animal’s habitat into smaller ones where there is
not enough food to support the population. These busy
highways, with cars speeding past day and night, act like
boundaries that animals are afraid to cross.

So they som _ _ _ _ _ _ get shut in on a small piece of land
where there isn’t enough f _ _ _ to support them. This i _ a
serious pr _ _ _ _ _ for animals that need access t _ large
expanse of land to look f _ _ food.

So they sometimes get shut in on a small piece of land where
there isn’t enough food to support them. This is a serious
problem for animals that need access to large expanse of land
to look for food.

Even th _ _ _ _ it's cold and snow-covered, the Arctic houses
many sp _ _ _ _ _ of animals that manage t _ survive the harsh
conditions there. Th _ _ _ Arctic animals have adapted to the
extremely cold temp _ _ _ _ _ _ _ primarily because of certain

Even though it's cold and snow-covered, the Arctic houses
many species of animals that manage to survive the harsh
conditions there. These Arctic animals have adapted to the
extremely cold temperatures primarily because of certain
body features that help them to survive in the cold Arctic
climate.

For one th _ _ _ , many Arctic animals have dev _ _ _ _ _ _ a
protective covering on th _ _ _ feet. The covering us _ _ _ _ _
consists of fur or feathers which a _ _ as a protective layer
between the cold and the animals' s _ _ _ . Since they spend so
m _ _ _ of their time on snowy, icy surfaces, whe _ _ _ _ they are
standing on the ground or swimming in t _ _ water, they can
easily l _ _ _ heat through their f _ _ _ .

For one thing, many Arctic animals have developed a protective
covering on their feet. The covering usually consists of fur or
feathers which act as a protective layer between the cold and
the animals' skin. Since they spend so much of their time on
snowy, icy surfaces, whether they are standing on the ground or
swimming in the water, they can easily lose heat through their
feet.

This is especially true of Arctic b _ _ _ _ . A bird like the Ar _ _ _ _
Snowy Owl, for example, has fe _ _ _ _ _ _ on its body the way
other birds do. But unlike most birds, it a _ _ _ has feathers all
over its feet. This shields and pr _ _ _ _ _ _ the feet from the i _ _
ground so that v _ _ _ little of the owl's foot actually touches
snowy o _ icy su _ _ _ _ _ _, which helps its feet to s _ _ _ warm.

This is especially true of Arctic birds. A bird like the Arctic
Snowy Owl, for example, has feathers on its body the way other
birds do. But unlike most birds, it also has feathers all over its
feet. This shields and protects the feet from the icy ground so
that very little of the owl's foot actually touches snowy or icy
surfaces, which helps its feet to stay warm.

Another physical ch _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ that some Arctic
animals share i _ having smaller b _ _ _ _ _ and smaller, shorter
body parts. In o _ _ _ _ words, their bodies a _ _ often more
compact t _ _ _ other animals'. And the parts of t _ _ _ _ bodies
that stick out or protrude l _ _ _ the legs, ears or t _ _ _ _ are
smaller a _ _ shorter.

Another physical characteristic that some Arctic animals share
is having smaller bodies and smaller, shorter body parts. In
other words, their bodies are often more compact than other
animals'. And the parts of their bodies that stick out or protrude
like the legs, ears or tails are smaller and shorter.

And the result is that th _ _ _ is less body surface exposed t _
the cold air. A great example is t _ _ Arctic wolf. Unl _ _ _ the
larger grey wolves that l _ _ _ in warmer climates, Arctic w _ _ _
_ _ have relatively small, comp _ _ _ bodies that efficiently
retain h _ _ _.

And the result is that there is less body surface exposed to the
cold air. A great example is the Arctic wolf. Unlike the larger
grey wolves that live in warmer climates, Arctic wolves have
relatively small, compact bodies that efficiently retain heat.

They also have smaller ears and shorter le _ _ so that they lose
l _ _ _ body heat than animals with l _ _ _ _ _ bodies or longer
body p _ _ _ _ . And in the cli _ _ _ _ where the temperature is
be _ _ _ zero most of the year, that's very important.

They also have smaller ears and shorter legs so that they lose
less body heat than animals with larger bodies or longer body
parts. And in the climate where the temperature is below zero
most of the year, that's very important.

When we humans walk f _ _ _ place to place, we m _ _ _ on the
Earth’s surface, across t _ _ Earth ’s surface. Many animals of
course do the s _ _ _ thing. Horses and dogs and cows and s _ on,
all move on the s _ _ _ _ _ _ , across the surface of the E _ _ _ _.

When we humans walk from place to place, we move on the
Earth’s surface, across the Earth ’s surface. Many animals of
course do the same thing. Horses and dogs and cows and so
on, all move on the surface, across the surface of the Earth.

There are qu _ _ _ a few animals that have the ability t _ move from
place to place und _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , beneath the Earth ’s surface.
This moving around underground is c _ _ _ _ _ subsurface
locomotion. Subsurface location has a nu _ _ _ _ of benefits.

There are quite a few animals that have the ability to move from
place to place underground, beneath the Earth ’s surface. This
moving around underground is called subsurface locomotion. Sub
surface location has a number of benefits.

One benefit o _ subsurface locomotion is that it ena _ _ _ _
animals to minimize their exposure to ext _ _ _ _ temperatures.
This is very he _ _ _ _ _ to animals that live in areas w _ _ _ harsh
climates, where it could be very dan _ _ _ _ _ _ to spend large
amounts of time o _ the surface.

One benefit of subsurface locomotion is that it enables animals to
minimize their exposure to extreme temperatures. This is very
helpful to animals that live in areas with harsh climates, where it
could be very dangerous to spend large amounts of time on the
surface.

For example, in the Sahara D _ _ _ _ _ , in Africa, there’s a t _ _ _ of
lizard that’s a _ _ _ to move beneath the surface, through the sand,
very quickly. Because this li _ _ _ _ can move so easily a _ _ so
q _ _ _ _ _ _ underground, it doesn’t have to travel on the surface,
wh _ _ _ it would b _ exposed to dangerously h _ _ _ temperatures.

For example, in the Sahara Desert, in Africa, there’s a type of
lizard that’s able to move beneath the surface, through the sand,
very quickly. Because this lizard can move so easily and so
quickly underground, it doesn’t have to travel on the surface,
where it would be exposed to dangerously high temperatures.

Sanya is the city (where I live).
Sanya is the city (which I live in).
Sanya is the city (where(关系副词） I met my girl).
Sanya is the city (which(关系代词） I live in).

Society need professional skills which can only
be learned from university.

Another ben _ _ _ _ of subsurface locomotion is that it can help
animals capture prey. That’s be _ _ _ _ _ animals on the surface
can’t see pred _ _ _ _ _ approaching underground. Our lizard in
the Sahara Desert is again, a g _ _ _ example.

Another benefit of subsurface locomotion is that it can help
animals capture prey. That’s because animals on the surface can’t
see predators approaching underground. Our lizard in the Sahara
Desert is again, a good example.

Often a bus _ _ _ _ _ sells mostly one t _ _ _ of product. But sales
of this product m _ _ stop increasing because m _ _ _ potential
customers h _ _ _ already bo _ _ _ _ it. In this sit _ _ _ _ _ _ , many
companies will t _ _ to diversify, um, to develop or diverse product
in or _ _ _ to increase s _ _ _ _.

Often a business sells mostly one type of product. But sales of
this product may stop increasing because most potential
customers have already bought it. In this situation, many
companies will try to diversify, um, to develop or diverse product
in order to increase sales.

If a company already has s _ _ _ machines and tec _ _ _ _ _ _ _ to
make a cert _ _ _ product, sometimes it c _ _ efficiently use that
same technology t _ make a dif _ _ _ _ _ _ product. For example, a
company that makes televisions might st _ _ _ making computer
monitors b _ _ _ _ _ _ the technology used to make th _ _ _ two
products is very si _ _ _ _ _ .

If a company already has some machines and technology to
make a certain product, sometimes it can efficiently use that
same technology to make a different product. For example, a
company that makes televisions might start making computer
monitors because the technology used to make these two
products is very similar.

So the company can use i _ _ existing technological
reso _ _ _ _ _ to make the monitors. But with the monitors, it
can re _ _ _ new customers, people that wouldn’t b _ _
television scr _ _ _ _ , like businesses that need to buy
monitors for their employees’ co _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .

So the company can use its existing technological resources
to make the monitors. But with the monitors, it can reach new
customers, people that wouldn’t buy television screens, like
businesses that need to buy monitors for their employees’
computers.

One o _ a company’s most important resources is its
ex _ _ _ _ _ _ customers and these customers might have
other needs that the company c _ _ _ _ fulfill with a different
product. F _ _ example, a company t _ _ _ sells skis might
have a large customer base that enj _ _ _ winter sports like
skiing down sn _ _ _ mountains.

One of a company’s most important resources is its existing
customers and these customers might have other needs that
the company could fulfill with a different product. For
example, a company that sells skis might have a large
customer base that enjoys winter sports like skiing down
snowy mountains.

So they might start making ski ja _ _ _ _ _ . The same
customers that buy skis would a _ _ _ need warm ski jackets
to w _ _ _ while they are skiing. And si _ _ _ they like the
company’s skis, they might be more lik _ _ _ to buy the jackets
w _ _ _ the company’s n _ _ _ on them.

So they might start making ski jackets. The same customers
that buy skis would also need warm ski jackets to wear while
they are skiing. And since they like the company’s skis, they
might be more likely to buy the jackets with the company’s
name on them.

Lakes s _ _ _ to be permanent. We assume they’ll be around
f _ _ _ _ _ _. But in fact, lakes aren’t p _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ; they can
actually dis _ _ _ _ _ _ . Sometimes they disappear t _ _ _ _ _ _
natural proc _ _ _ _ _ , and so _ _ _ _ _ _ _ because of hu _ _ _
activities.

Lakes seem to be permanent. We assume they’ll be around
forever. But in fact, lakes aren’t permanent; they can actually
disappear. Sometimes they disappear through natural
processes, and sometimes because of human activities.

This often hap _ _ _ _ with lakes that have lots of plants
growing in th _ _. When the plants die, they break d _ _ _ into a
muddy subs _ _ _ _ _ , which falls to the bo _ _ _ _ of the lake,
they’ re then rep _ _ _ _ _ by n _ _ plants, which eventually
also d _ _ and fall to t _ _ bottom.

This often happens with lakes that have lots of plants growing
in them. When the plants die, they break down into a muddy
substance, which falls to the bottom of the lake, they’ re then
replaced by new plants, which eventually also die and fall to
the bottom.

And o _ _ _ the years, all this dead plant material b _ _ _ _ _ up
on the bottom of the lake, and a _ builds up, it starts to f _ _ _
up the lake, and there’s less and l _ _ _ room for water, and
e _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the l _ _ _ gets completely filled in, a _ _
disappears.

And over the years, all this dead plant material builds up on
the bottom of the lake, and as builds up, it starts to fill up the
lake, and there’s less and less room for water, and eventually
the lake gets completely filled in, and disappears.

For example, we know that farmers n _ _ _ water to ir _ _ _ _ _ _
their crops. And som _ _ _ _ _ _ to get that water, they pump
that water o _ _ of a nearby lake. Th _ _ install pipes that run
fr _ _ the lake to their farms, and they pump the water o _ _ of
the lake and into their fi _ _ _ _.

For example, we know that farmers need water to irrigate
their crops. And sometimes to get that water, they pump that
water out of a nearby lake. They install pipes that run from the
lake to their farms, and they pump the water out of the lake
and into their fields.

Now that’s ok i _ the lake is continually b _ _ _ _ refilled w _ _ _
rainwater or with water f _ _ _ streams that r _ _ into the lake,
b _ _ if there isn’t en _ _ _ _ rainwater o _ stream water to
rep _ _ _ _ the water the farmers take out of the la _ _ , the lake
will eventually d _ _ up.

Now that’s ok if the lake is continually being refilled with
rainwater or with water from streams that run into the lake,
but if there isn’t enough rainwater or stream water to replace
the water the farmers take out of the lake, the lake will
eventually dry up.

So, most ci _ _ _ _ of the ancient world tended t _ be small,
often limited to the b _ _ _ _ of a river. Th _ _ had very little
means to ex _ _ _ _ . These old cities couldn’t really cross
nat _ _ _ _ barriers li _ _ rivers or be lo _ _ _ _ _ very far from
water so _ _ _ _ _ . But Roman cities, on the other h _ _ _ ,
grew m _ _ _ larger.

So, most cities of the ancient world tended to be small, often
limited to the banks of a river. They had very little means to
expand. These old cities couldn’t really cross natural barriers
like rivers or be located very far from water sources. But
Roman cities, on the other hand, grew much larger.

One development that’ll al _ _ _ Roman cities to grow was
their adv _ _ _ _ _ building materials. The Romans developed
a sp _ _ _ _ _ kind of concrete, a building m _ _ _ _ _ _ _ that
would harden un _ _ _ water. And this co _ _ _ _ _ _ made new
kinds of structures po _ _ _ _ _ _.

One development that’ll allow Roman cities to grow was their
advanced building materials. The Romans developed a
special kind of concrete, a building material that would
harden under water. And this concrete made new kinds of
structures possible.

Take their bridges for example. Because of t _ _ _ special
concrete, t _ _ _ could build be _ _ _ _ bridges, bridges t _ _ _
could go across w _ _ _ rivers, bridges that w _ _ _ big enough
to transport equ _ _ _ _ _ _ and materials with wagons a _ _
carts.

Take their bridges for example. Because of this special
concrete, they could build better bridges, bridges that could
go across wide rivers, bridges that were big enough to
transport equipment and materials with wagons and carts.

So with these stro _ _ bridges, Roman cities could g _ _ _ on
both s _ _ _ _ of the river, creating larger ci _ _ _ _ than would
have b _ _ _ possible otherwise.

So with these strong bridges, Roman cities could grow on
both sides of the river, creating larger cities than would have
been possible otherwise.

Another development that helped Roman cities expand was
an improved w _ _ to move fresh cl _ _ _ water. People need
ac _ _ _ _ to fresh water and the Romans created an especially
eff _ _ _ _ _ _ way to bring it t _ them. They built structures
ca _ _ _ _ aqueducts.

Another development that helped Roman cities expand was
an improved way to move fresh clean water. People need
access to fresh water and the Romans created an especially
effective way to bring it to them. They built structures called
aqueducts.

Now, aqueducts are se _ _ _ _ of open channels, waterways
that stretch from water so _ _ _ _ _ high in the mou _ _ _ _ _ _
to cities. They w _ _ _ carefully planned and built so the
steady d _ _ _ in altitude provides the steady fl _ _ of water to
cities. These aqueducts could move tremendous am _ _ _ _ of
water over g _ _ _ _ distances and even bring fr _ _ _ water to
pl _ _ _ _ far from rivers.

Now, aqueducts are series of open channels, waterways that
stretch from water sources high in the mountains to cities.
They were carefully planned and built so the steady drop in
altitude provides the steady flow of water to cities. These
aqueducts could move tremendous amount of water over
great distances and even bring fresh water to places far from
rivers.

Because o _ this, people c _ _ _ _ have clean water f _ _
drinking and bathing wi _ _ _ _ _ being located near a river. So
cities were a _ _ _ to grow la _ _ _ _ in n _ _ locations.

Because of this, people could have clean water for drinking
and bathing without being located near a river. So cities were
able to grow larger in new locations.

When consumers are b _ _ _ _ _ a product, most of the time
they’re not buying just the product it _ _ _ _, they’re a _ _ _
buying the co _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the product comes in. So the design
of the container is very im _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . It can be the deciding

t _ _ product to buy.

When consumers are buying a product, most of the time they’re
not buying just the product itself, they’re also buying the
container the product comes in. So the design of the container
is very important. It can be the deciding factor when consumers
are trying to decide which brand of the product to buy.

One important design go _ _ is to make the container as user-
friendly as po _ _ _ _ _ _, as conv _ _ _ _ _ _ to use as possible.
Take, for example, when companies started using pl _ _ _ _ _
containers for condiments such as ketchup, mustard and
mayonnaise.

One important design goal is to make the container as user-
friendly as possible, as convenient to use as possible. Take, for
example, when companies started using plastic containers for
condiments such as ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise.

In the past, these products came in gl _ _ _ containers with lids
you h _ _ to screw off. And t _ _ _ you had to e _ _ _ _ _ pour the
ketchup or mustard on y _ _ _ food which could b _ messy or
scoop it out w _ _ _ spoon.

In the past, these products came in glass containers with lids
you had to screw off. And then you had to either pour the
ketchup or mustard on your food which could be messy or
scoop it out with spoon.

But flexible plastic containers we _ _ much more c _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
to use and so they were m _ _ _ attractive to consumers. You
just held the container over your food, gave i _ a little squeeze
and out came the ketchup o _ mustard, uh, much f _ _ _ _ _ and
easier than having to remove a l _ _ first.

But flexible plastic containers were much more convenient to
use and so they were more attractive to consumers. You just
held the container over your food, gave it a little squeeze and
out came the ketchup or mustard, uh, much faster and easier
than having to remove a lid first.

Another important de _ _ _ _ goal is to give the container a
pleasing ap _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ so that consumers w _ _ _ feel
comfortable displaying it in t _ _ _ _ homes. Take, for example, a
company that sells cookies. I _ _ _ _ _ _ of selling their cookies in
a plain cardboard box, they m _ _ _ _ sell them in a n _ _ _ metal
b _ _.

Another important design goal is to give the container a
pleasing appearance so that consumers will feel comfortable
displaying it in their homes. Take, for example, a company that
sells cookies. Instead of selling their cookies in a plain
cardboard box, they might sell them in a nice metal box.

And they might decorate that nice met _ _ box with beautiful
pictures of some ki _ _. That way when consumers present the
cookies to gu _ _ _ _, for example, they look nice, they lo _ _
classic. At _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ containers like th _ _ can make a p _ _ _

And they might decorate that nice metal box with beautiful
pictures of some kind. That way when consumers present the
cookies to guests, for example, they look nice, they look classic.
Attractive containers like that can make a product much more
appealing to consumers.

Rocks near the Earth’s s _ _ _ _ _ _ are directly exposed t _
elements in t _ _ environment such as air and water, and also to
conditions such as t _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ change as well as to living
organism. And this exp _ _ _ _ _ to the en _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ can
actually ca _ _ _ even huge rocks to br _ _ _ into smaller pi _ _ _ _.
This pr _ _ _ _ _ is called weathering.

Rocks near the Earth’s surface are directly exposed to elements
in the environment such as air and water, and also to conditions
such as temperature change as well as to living organism. And
this exposure to the environment can actually cause even huge
rocks to break into smaller pieces. This process is called
weathering.

F _ _ _ _ of all, rocks are often exposed t _ water. I _ cold w _ _
environments rocks can break d _ _ to water freezing ins _ _ _ of
them. How d _ _ _ this happen? Well, as I a _ sure you know,
when w _ _ _ _ freezes it expands a _ _ over time this can lead to
we _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

First of all, rocks are often exposed to water. In cold wet
environments rocks can break due to water freezing inside of
them. How does this happen? Well, as I am sure you know, when
water freezes it expands and over time this can lead to
weathering.

Um, imagine a rock w _ _ _ a small opening or crack in it. It
rains a _ _ water gets into the cr _ _ _ and stays th _ _ _ . Then,
at night, the temperature d _ _ _ _ and w _ _ _ _ inside the crack
freezes. This growing, expanding i _ _ pushes outw _ _ _ on
either side of the crack causing it to g _ _ slightly bigger. When
this happens again and a _ _ _ _, the crack becomes l _ _ _ _ _
and eventually pieces of the ro _ _ break off.

Um, imagine a rock with a small opening or crack in it. It rains
and water gets into the crack and stays there. Then, at night, the
temperature drops and water inside the crack freezes. This
growing, expanding ice pushes outward on either side of the
crack causing it to get slightly bigger. When this happens again
and again, the crack becomes larger and eventually pieces of
the rock break off.

Weathering can also b _ caused by plants, by a plant gr _ _ _ _. If
a plant se _ _ gets blown into the crack of a rock, it m _ _ take
root. And its ro _ _ will grow down into t _ _ rock. The plant’s
roots c _ _ cause the rock to b _ _ _ _ down, uh, fracture.

Weathering can also be caused by plants, by a plant growth. If a
plant seed gets blown into the crack of a rock, it may take root.
And its root will grow down into the rock. The plant’s roots can
cause the rock to break down, uh, fracture.

Usually there’s en _ _ _ _ dirt in a crack of a rock or on t _ _ of a
rock to a _ _ _ _ a tree to start growing there. A _ the tree grows
ov _ _ the years, the tree’s roots extend dow _ _ _ _ _ into the
crack and crevasses of the rock in search of water and nut _ _ _
_ _ _. Over time, the roots get b _ _ _ _ _ and grow deeper,
widening and enl _ _ _ _ _ _ the cracks, causing the rock to
b _ _ _ _ apart.

Usually there’s enough dirt in a crack of a rock or on top of a
rock to allow a tree to start growing there. As the tree grows
over the years, the tree’s roots extend downward into the crack
and crevasses of the rock in search of water and nutrients. Over
time, the roots get bigger and grow deeper, widening and
enlarging the cracks, causing the rock to break apart.

Authors o _ fiction, short st _ _ _ _ _ and novels have m _ _ _
decisions to m _ _ _ when they’re writing their w _ _ _ _. One of
those d _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ is how they are going to narrate or t _ _ _
the story. What perspective or what p _ _ _ _ of view the story
would be told from? So, authors need to choose a t _ _ _ of
narrator, some person or v _ _ _ _ to tell the story. And this
narrator can af _ _ _ _ the readers’ experience w _ _ _ they read

Authors of fiction, short stories and novels have many decisions
to make when they’re writing their works. One of those
decisions is how they are going to narrate or tell the story. What
perspective or what point of view the story would be told from?
So, authors need to choose a type of narrator, some person or
voice to tell the story. And this narrator can affect the readers’
experience when they read the story.

An objective narrator can des _ _ _ _ _ what people, the
characters in the story, wh _ _ they do and what they s _ _, but
that’s about all. So, suppose we have a s _ _ _ _ , for e _ _ _ _ _ _,
that is about a man and w _ _ _ _ about to t _ _ _ a trip.

An objective narrator can describe what people, the characters
in the story, what they do and what they say, but that’s about all.
So, suppose we have a story, for example, that is about a man
and woman about to take a trip.

When the story is told by an obj _ _ _ _ _ _ narrator, the only inf _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ that we get as readers is what the characters say to
each o _ _ _ _, what they do. They get o _ the train, t _ _ _ sit do
_ _, they look out the wi _ _ _ _ , that’s all. And this leaves
questions that force the r _ _ _ _ _ to interpret the e _ _ _ _ _ , to
fill in information and decide wh _ _ the characters’ conversation
a _ _ actions might mean.

When the story is told by an objective narrator, the only
information that we get as readers is what the characters say to
each other, what they do. They get on the train, they sit down,
they look out the window, that’s all. And this leaves questions
that force the reader to interpret the events, to fill in information
and decide what the characters’ conversation and actions might
mean.

Another ki _ _ of narrator an author might u _ _ is an omniscient
narrator. In this c _ _ _ , the narrator, the voice that is t _ _ _ _ _ _
the story, knows everything a _ _ _ _ the characters. So, let’s
i _ _ _ _ _ _ our same man and woman traveling b _ _ described
by an omniscient narrator. Not on _ _ do we, the readers, know
wh _ _ they do a _ _ say, but we also know what they’re th _ _ _ _
_ _.

Another kind of narrator an author might use is an omniscient
narrator. In this case, the narrator, the voice that is telling the
story, knows everything about the characters. So, let’s imagine
our same man and woman traveling but described by an
omniscient narrator. Not only do we, the readers, know what
they do and say, but we also know what they’re thinking.

For example, we’re told that the couple is g _ _ _ _ to visit an old
fr _ _ _ _ of the man ’s and we l _ _ _ _ what the man is thinking
that he is nervous be _ _ _ _ _ he hasn’t seen his friend in a
l _ _ _ time, that he is worried if his w _ _ _ would like the
friend. So an omniscient nar _ _ _ _ _ provides more
inf _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and answers questions that the r _ _ _ _ _ might
have about the characters or the ac _ _ _ _.

For example, we’re told that the couple is going to visit an old
friend of the man ’s and we learn what the man is thinking that
he is nervous because he hasn’t seen his friend in a long time,
that he is worried if his wife would like the friend. So an
omniscient narrator provides more information and answers
questions that the reader might have about the characters or
the action.

Back in the18th cen _ _ _ _, in a time k _ _ _ _ as the Industrial
Revolution, some cou _ _ _ _ _ _, well, England in part _ _ _ _ _ _,
started us _ _ _ new tec _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , like steam-powered

brought about some si _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ changes.

Back in the18th century, in a time known as the Industrial
Revolution, some countries, well, England in particular, started
using new technology, like steam-powered machines to
produce goods. And the use of these machines brought about
some significant changes.

One change w _ _ that the center of production moved f _ _ _
homes to factories. Um, let’s t _ _ _ fabric, or cl _ _ _ , as an
example. Historically, for a very long ti _ _, people had made
cloth by ha _ _ in their homes, ear _ _ _ _ a little money from
their home-based cloth prod _ _ _ _ _ _.

One change was that the center of production moved from
homes to factories. Um, let’s take fabric, or cloth, as an
example. Historically, for a very long time, people had made
cloth by hand in their homes, earning a little money from their
home-based cloth production.

But then these new steam-powered machines f _ _ weaving clo
_ _ were invented a _ _ placed in factories, and these machines
could we _ _ _ cloth much mo _ _ quickly and effi _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
So th _ _ _ wasn’t any reason to k _ _ _ making cloth sl _ _ _ _
in homes when it could be ma _ _ faster on factory machines.
Thus the maj _ _ _ _ _ of cloth productions shifted fr _ _ home-
based businesses to fac _ _ _ _ production.

But then these new steam-powered machines for weaving
cloth were invented and placed in factories, and these
machines could weave cloth much more quickly and efficiently.
So there wasn’t any reason to keep making cloth slowly in
homes when it could be made faster on factory machines. Thus
the majority of cloth productions shifted from home-based
businesses to factory production.

Another re _ _ _ _ of the new tec _ _ _ _ _ _ _ is th _ _ cities
started forming ar _ _ _ _ factories, like let’s say there w _ _ a
cloth factory that was b _ _ _ _ in a cer _ _ _ _ small village.
Now, of course, the factor ne _ _ _ _ workers to ope _ _ _ _ the
machines us _ _ in cloth production. So the factory would hi _ _
a lot of ru _ _ _ workers who would then mo _ _ from the
country side to the vil _ _ _ _.

Another result of the new technology is that cities started
forming around factories, like let’s say there was a cloth factory
that was built in a certain small village. Now, of course, the
factor needed workers to operate the machines used in cloth
production. So the factory would hire a lot of rural workers who
would then move from the country side to the village.

So i _ _ _ _ _ _ of spreading all ov _ _ the country side, the
workers sta _ _ _ _ to congregate in the village with the factory.
A _ a result, the village got bi _ _ _ _ and bigger and ev _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ gr _ _ to a city.

So instead of spreading all over the country side, the workers
started to congregate in the village with the factory. As a result,
the village got bigger and bigger and eventually grew to a city.

Now, typically, we think of frogs as living in wet environments.

But for frogs who live in dry places, with desert-like

conditions, this can be a problem. Frogs have been able to

survive in such areas by having diﬀerent physical features,

special dry-climate features that help them maintain an

adequate level of moisture in their cells and avoid drying out.
