5、tian.But there is adownside.“You cannot get really drunk.because you have safety responsibilitiesto yourselfand others,”he says.“You dont really think about home.You start to think about home only when you get closerto your vacation and wonder what youll be doing.”Life on the ship is anything but cr

6、uising.Estrella and his fellows work at least 10 hours a day,seven days aweek.He warns the job is not for everybody.“You have to love being busy and be prepared to work every day-andto give up drinking too much alcohol.”In his spare time,if the ship sails into a port,Estrella explores it,otherwisehe

9、condors(秀鹫)some of the worlds largest birdsbarelyflap their wings at all while flying.Instead,they use rising air currents to remain in the air for hours.The Andean condor is the worlds largest soaring bird.They can weigh up to 15 kilograms.Their wings,whenspread out,measure up to three meters.Their

10、 main food source is the meat of large animals which have died.Soaring high in the sky allows condors to easily spot possible meals on the ground.Scientists worked together to study the flight patterns of these huge birds and how much effort the birds usewhen flying.To study the birds while they wer

11、e in the sky,the researchers attached special devices which couldrecord every beat of their wings.The scientists learned that most of the condors flapping over 75%came when the birds were taking off.Once in the sky,the birds flew for very long periods of time without flapping at all.In fact,they onl

12、y flapped theirwings for 1%of the time they were in the air.One bird flew for over five hours without flapping,covering nearly117miles.Soaring without flapping is important because birds bum energy every time they flap their wings.The birds soaring isnt magic.They use the fact that hot air rises to

13、keep themselves up.As hot air rises,itoften creates“thermals”currents of warm air moving upward.The condors soar by making use of thesethermals.The tricky part is finding thermals and moving between them.When birds are forced to land and take off again often,it costs them a lot of energy.The researc

14、hers learnedthat to avoid having to land,the condors did most of their non-take-off flapping when they were closer to theground and looking for a new thermal.The scientists reported that even though all of the condors they studied were young,they knew well how totake advantage of the air currents.4.

19、t and headed to the parking lot.Why does thisseem to always happen to you?Well,as it turns out,its just math that is working against you.A grocery store tries to have enoughemployees at the checkout lines to get all their customers through with minimum delay.But sometimes,like on aSunday afternoon,t

20、hey get super busy.Because most grocery stores dont have the physical space to add morecheckout lines,their system becomes overburdened.Some small interruption a price check,a particularlytalkative customer will have downstream effects,holding up the entire line behind them.If there are three lines

21、at the store,these delays will happen randomly at different registers(收银台).Thinkabout the probability.The chances of your line being that fastest one are only one in three,which means you havea two-thirds chance of not being in the fastest line.So its not just in your mind:Another line is probably m

22、ovingfaster thanyours.Now,mathematicians have come up with a good solution,which they call queuing theory,to this problem:Just make all customers stand in one long snaking line,called a serpentine line,and serve each person at the frontwith the next available register.With three registers,this metho

23、d is about three times faster on average than themore traditional approach.This is what they do at most banks,Trader Joes,and some fast-food places.With aserpentine line,a long delay at one register wont unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it.Instead,it willslow everyone down a little bit
