31、it has wider tires than my old bike and seven gears. But it is green a brighter green bike.Still, I was a bit apprehensive. I was out of practice and a lot older.

38、ls with illnesses such as the flu. Researchers, however, believed that the Antarctic animals were immune to the danger due to the continents extreme weather. However, microbiologist Marta Cerda-Cuellar was not convinced.She and some colleagues decided to examine waste samples from Antarctic birds fo
39、r evidence of human bacteria. To ensure the waste was not polluted, the scientists had to collect it from the birds themselves.The results of their study revealed the presence of several types of human bacteria in the bird waste. This included a common strain（品种）of bacteria that causes food poisonin
40、g in humans.

However, the emerging or invasive pathogens （病原体）that arrive to highly sensitive populations could have severe consequences and cause the local collapse and extinction of some populations.

They cant be removed.So what if you are already lacing your second move this year and
