8、The beautiful city experiences water surges (汹涌) from the rising tides at least four times a year, usually during winter.However, the 1.87meter tide that swept through the city on 12 November 2019, was one of the highest ever experienced, second only to the 1.94meter wave that flooded Venice in 1966
9、.To make matters worse, it was followed by two water surges, both topping 1.5 meters on 15 and 17 November.The rapid series of high tides covered over 80 percent of the city of canals, causing widespread destruction to museums, homes and businesses.Though difficult, it is always important to find a

11、ca, told CNN, “When we saw the historic flooding on Tuesday night,12 November, we immediately started to gather volunteers to help the city.The first day we were 200, yesterday 550, and today more than 1,700.”Besides helping remove the flood waters from neighbourhoods, the volunteers were also remov

18、 the wilds of Botswana, a pathogen called Mmungi has a different way of infecting the banded mongoose (a small furry animal that kills snakes and rats).The pathogen spreads from animal to animal through scent (气味) marks.“Scent marks are deposited into the environment and contain smell signals that c

20、nments, and other places with varying characteristics in Botswana.In this way, researchers were able to gain insight into the manner in which land type and animal behavior interact to influence the spread of the pathogen.The result was a comprehensive data set of mongoose behavioral interactions acr

23、urism cabins, where predators are scarce and food, which is often left by human hands, is easy to find.Here, the mongooses spent a good amount of time marking scent, creating a lot of opportunities for the pathogen to spread.Previous studies by Alexander have pulled back the mask on how animal behav
