19、 essential and high-demand items. Books were less easily attained. Traffic to our library increased.

29、 consistency was shocking.*He said studies of animal responses to climate change often focus on shifts in geographical range or timing of life events, like migration and birth.

36、ling to take some measures. You must first go where there are people. You wont make friends staying home alone. Join a club or a group. Talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. Or join someone in some activities. Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After

37、all meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And its human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown. Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us or finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But

38、dont forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you arc and try to put the other person at ease.

44、uve ever tried to concentrate on something important while your stomach doesnt feel well, youll know why the scientists in charge of a space mission want their astronauts to eat regularly.The lack of gravity in a spacecraft also determines what foods can or cannot be eaten in space.
