DAINTREE RAINFOREST
Rainforests are not only 0 ( spectacle)................ but also provide shelter for lover half the species of plants and animals on Earth. The Daintree Rainforest in Queensland, Australia, is the world's 46 (old) oldest rainforest and is a living record of 47 ( evolution) evolutionary change. It receives vast amounts of rainfall in torrential showers that last for a few hours, with bright sunshine the rest of the time. Temperatures in the forest are 48 ( surprise) surprisingly mild thanks to the towering trees. This 49 (tropic) tropical environment has everything from sandy beaches to 50 (impress) impressive plants and flowers.51 (approximate) Approximately 430 types of birds live among these trees, including 13 species not found anywhere else in the world. The forest is also home to 52 (colour) colourful butterflies, owls, huge lizards, and giant treefrogs. It is not 53 (common) uncommon to see Estuarine crocodiles on the riverbanks - in fact, they are a constant threat to 54 ( care) careless swimmers.The Daintree Rainforest is 55 ( like) unlikely to avoid destruction by theoutside world forever. However, it is of vital importance that we try to protect this amazing natural treasure for as long as we can.
Sometimes you just know things about people the first time you see them- for example that you want to be friends with them or that you don't trust them. But perhaps this kind of intuition isn't as hard to explain (1)as it may seem. For instance, everybody gives out body language signals (2)at the time. The (3)way you hold your body, head and arms tells people about your mood. If you hold your arms tightly at your sides (4)then fold them across your chest, people wil generally feel that you (5)are being defensive. Holding your head on one side shows interest in the (6)strange person, while (7)you relaxed, "open" posture indicates that you are self- confident. All this affects (8)on we feel about someone
Also, a stranger may (9)recognize you of a previous meeting with someone. This may be because of (10)someone as simple as the fact that he or she is physically similar (11)from someone who treated you well or badly. But your reaction doesn't (12)reflect to be the result of the memory of a person you previously met- your feeling about the stranger could (13)be influenced by a smell in the air that brings to mind a place (14)where you were happy as a child. Since even a single word can bring back a memory (15)but as that, you may never realize it is happening

We all know stories about people with exceptional memories who have the ability to remember hundreds of numbers after hearing them only once .Now experts are saying that such feats can be taught.
For example, most people can repeat about nine numbers if they are read out one a second. In one experiment, ten hours' training produced only a small improvement, but the results after practising for a thousand hours were amazing: some people remembered 80 ar even 100 numbers. Similarly, most adults can identify only about five out of a set of 21 colours that are only slightly different. But after 80 training hours one person could recognise 18 of them. Studies of 76 major composers show that it took at least ten years of musical training before any of them wrote a major work. Psychologists are therefore raising the possibility that genius is the product of teaching
