23、, roughly half of the worlds more than 10,000 bird species migrate(迁徙). Longer wings and powerful flying muscles often help these birds cross vast expanses of air. But a study of nearly all bird species suggests many migrators share another unexpected flight aid: lighter-colored feathers.Being a bit
24、 more lightly colored than non-migrating birdsmay help these long-distance fliers stay coolas they work hard under the hot sun to fly, researchers report December 6 inCurrent Biology.Its known that color can help birds hide from predators(捕食者) by blending in, or attract mates by standing out. But co
25、lor has subtle effects too, including regulating temperature by absorbing or reflecting light, says Kaspar Delhey, an expert at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Germany. For example, bird eggs laid in colder climatestend to be darker, which may help keep them warm.Migrating birds push the
26、ir bodies to the physiological limit, which creates much heat. Somespecies copebyrising to cooler airduring daytime. “If overheating is a problem in migratory birds, another way of dealing with that would be to evolve lighter colors” that absorb less heat, Delhey says.Delhey and his colleagues analy
27、zed over20,000 illustrationsof 10,618 bird species, ranking feather lightness for each species and comparing that with how far the birds fly. On average, lightness slightly increased with migratory distance, the team found. The longest-distance migrators were about 4 percent lighter than non-migrato
28、rs, an effect that wasnt explained by size, climate or habitat type for different species.“Its not a big difference,” Delhey says, noting that many migrators are darkly colored, perhaps for reasons unrelated to flight. But the trend was remarkably consistent.“Very different groups with very differen

Lighter-colored feathers. D. Powerful flying muscles.29What does the underlined word “subtle” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

32、r way to put it. Sometimes its a non-funny situation that they find amusing. Whatever it is, you might be wondering what on earth they think is so funny. Up until recently, researchers werent sure what the timeline was of developing a sense of humor.A group of researchers called the Early Humor Surv

They surveyed a group of parents from the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia.During the first year of their babies lives, parents observed the different ways their children apprec
34、iated humor and were even able to produce some humor on their own. More than 3/4ths of the parents found their babies laughing by the second month of their lives. By their first birthday, almost all parents reported that their kids were all laughing.While babies dont have a full understanding of hum
35、or, we are able to see when theyre smiling or if theyre happy. EHS authors were able to see that babies had the ability to appreciate humor before they are able to produce humor themselves.According toKidsHealth, children with a sense of humor are more optimistic, happier and are able to handle diff
36、erences with others. They are also more well-liked by their peers and show a better handling of adversities of childhood, including bullying, or moving to a new town.Since parents are the biggest role models in childrens lives, its safe to say that they develop their sense of humor from interacting
