21、 We tried to cheer her up but nothing seemed to work. As the holiday got closer, she often stayed in her bedroom, praying. A few days before Christmas, we woke up to see a delighted mother singing Christmas carols in the backyard. “Mom,” I asked her, “why are you so happy all of a sudden?” She said,
22、 “Come and see for yourself, son.” I went out to the backyard and saw a huge tumbleweed(风滚草) against the garage door. But Mom didnt see a tumbleweed. She saw a beautiful Christmas tree. We couldnt get it in through the front or back doors, so we opened both the French doors on the side of the house
23、and brought the “tree” in that way. Somehow we got it fastened to the Christmas tree stand, and we set it up in the living room. Then we began to decorate it together. Its branches were much too weak to support lights, so we tied just one string close to the trunk where the lights would shine upward

28、 coming to an end due to a new toilet seat design that is supposed to make sitting on the toilet for more than seven minutes become uncomfortable. Called the Standard Toilet, the new design, thought up by English consulting engineer Mahabir Gill, slopes(倾斜) at a downwards angle of 13 degrees, forcin
29、g the person sitting on it to use their leg muscles to keep from sliding off. According to its creator, the longest someone can comfortably sit on such a toilet seat is 5 to 7 minutes. Gill said the angle is enough to cause some feelings of strain in the users legs, making them want to get up faster
30、 than they would from a horizontal(水平的)toilet seat, but not enough to cause serious health problems. Gill also added that the Standard Toilet would be great for businesses wanting to maximize employee work hours.The Standard Toilet has already received the backing of the British Toilet Association (
31、 BTA), but has come under fire on social media, where people either joked about ways to “defeat” the design, or called it a shame. Gill told Wired magazine that as a consulting engineer he sometimes discovered workers asleep on the toilet, and that he also became increasingly annoyed by queues for p

37、 egg. Darker eggs take in more heat than lighter ones. This could help developing chicks stay warm while their parents look for food. That s the conclusion of the study. Biologists have long tried to understand why birds eggs come in so many shapes and colors. There could be many reasons. The color
38、may help make eggs less likely to be discovered by their natural enemies. The egg shape or color might also somehow protect eggs against bacteria or signal their quality. The shape or color might even help keep an egg warm. “Scientists have discovered some evidence to support all of these assumption
39、s,” says Phillip Wisocki, who worked on the research. Wisocki and his colleagues turned to collections of birds eggs in museums. They compiled (汇编)data from 634 species. These represented all but four of the 40 living orders of birds. Then they plotted the data on a global map. The brightness and co

41、oser to the equator. Egg colors, however, tended to be more varied in the tropics(热带). Darker eggs may be an adaptation to the cold, the research now suggests. Like a dark car parked in the sun, a dark egg should take in more heat from the sun than a lighter egg. To test this theory, Wisocki s group
42、 exposed chicken eggs to direct sunlight and tracked how well they assimilated heat. Some were white. Others were brown or blue. Sure enough, brown eggs warmed faster and cooled more slowly than the lighter eggs.32. According to the assumptions about birds eggs, their shapes and colors _. A. can ref
