30、ur nose and eyes may also feel irritated(癢癢的)and go into defense mode(模式),producing tears or mucus(黏液)to protect themselves.

31、d.So if we know that our body will react to chilies this way, why is it that humans are the only animals to eat them? In fact, about 600 million Chinese, almost half of the national population, are chili eaters, reported website Huanqiu.According to BBC News, the human body responds to spicy food by

But actually they are endangered mammals. There are eight different

42、kinds of pangolins, four in Asia and four in Africa, and all are threatened with extinction. Although pangolins are protected throughout most of the countries where they live, high demand in East Asia, where the delicious pangolin meat is considered a delicacy and where their scales are used in trad

He had never seen such beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.Afte

49、r several months, the king came to see how the training was going. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying. the branch樹枝) of a tree quietly, just keeping still.The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they

50、 could to make the other falcon fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem. He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it a

51、t once.The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely. “It is unbelievable!” shouted the king. “How could you make it happen?”The farmer replied, “Its very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.”It is always the same to human beings. We all have “two

52、 flying wings” in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we are just for safety and comfort.

55、 things that you can do with the hundreds of different muscles in your body. But have you ever thought about how the muscles in an animals body are different from yours? An animals muscles are made to do the things that are most important for its life.Lions are hunters. They depend on their ability

56、to catch other animals. Lions must be fast in order to catch their prey(獵物). The powerful muscles in their back legs allow them to run at speeds of morethan 30 miles per hour. They can also jump a distance of more than 35 feet. The strong muscles in their front legs help them catch their prey.Snakes

57、 also use their muscles for hunting prey and for movement, but their muscles work in very different ways than lions do. Because snakes do not have any legs, they use their muscles to push against the ground or other objects to move themselves forward. Their muscles also allow them to eat things that

58、 seem much too large. For example, a snake may eat an egg that is larger than the width of its body. How does this happen? The snakes strong neck muscles work together to push the egg down the mouth.The elephants long nose has a lot of muscles. Scientists believe that the nose alone has more than 10

59、0,000 muscles! This is because the elephant uses its nose much in the same way that people use their hands and fingers. Even though the nose is large, it can perform surprisingly tasks. For example, an elephant can pick up a small leaf from the ground. The nose can also be a powerful tool. An elephant can use its nose to pick up a tree by its roots or even to lift a baby elephant.The great muscles of these animals seem pretty unbelievable. But the muscles in your body work exactly the way you need them to. After all, it might be fun to be able to jump a
