19、lighted when he told me later that many of the hotels bring out the cooler just when we arrive because they know we want to see it. Some will hide it the rest of the time because theyll be able to make money off the sale of small plastic water bottles in the rooms.This led to my next strategy. If th
20、ere was no cooler available to the public, Id ask the hotel staff to refill my bottle whenever I was at a meal.

The birds
27、are choosing who to associate with.” Male-female pairs spend time together, but so do same-sex pairs and even groups of three or four. And those relationships can last for many years.So there were some flamingos in the group that really didnt care who their partner was for that day, they would flit(
28、轻快地掠过)around and they would have many different relationships with many different birds.” And of course there were other flamingos that were less social butterfly and more alone wolf. But even they had a few close friends. “Those birds that were least social had more investment in a smaller number o
29、f social connection with flamingos that they knew really well.”Rose thinks that flamingos may have evolved(演变)their social lives due to their wetland habitats-in which the resources they need are concentrated in a small area.If flamingos know their partners, if they know that these six birds, say, a
