14、rc human relatives, but it is the “island life” that has caused them to evolve as they have.

15、uman bodies have adjusted to the available food and fresh water in their habitats. Since there is no opportunity for them to leave their island, they might as well adapt.New York Magazine explained that islands usually have fewer predators (捕食者) than mainland ecosystems. However, it is the lack of r

16、esources that cause the death of many animals. As a means of natural adaptation, the bodies of these animals have evolved smaller than their ancestors, making their bodies require fewer resources.A report from Web Ecoist listed down a few examples of animals that have shrunk significantly compared w

22、lympics.But along with the awards, there has long been talk about Bryant. People say he is a selfish player with only a few friends.

29、scientific agreement about the exact amount of the stuff an individual should consume each day.

30、ng water by the glass is not the only way that humans take in it. The “8 X 8” rule essentially overlooks two big sources of daily water consumption. One such source is food.

37、aily.24（8分）Most heroes are not super. They dont appear in comic books, on television, or in movies. They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place.

41、rted on Bike Index. Once he has confirmed it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested.

42、 In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects had stolen during a home burglary.His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called “Robin Hood”. Since he wasnt exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the
