People's dangerous pets
People like to have pets. A lot of people keep cats, dogs, goldfish and
canaries. But some people want to keep dangerous animals in their homes
and yards: monkeys, crocodiles, tigers, lions, bears, snakes, big lizards and other
wildlife. We must not keep wildlife in our homes. It is dangerous. These
animals can attack you. They must live in their habitat.
Shopping is a part of
OUR daily life. There are people who hate going shopping. They make a list of what they need and run through
THE STORE buying the
NECESSARY things. But there are people who go from store to store looking for goods of
GOOD quality and
LOW price. They worry about the time they spend shopping.
The methods of shopping may vary. It may be a self-service shop where a customer
GOES from counter to counter selecting and putting into a basket what he
WISHED to buy. Then he takes the basket to the check-out counter, where the prices of the purchases are
ADDED up. If it is not a self-service shop, a shop-assistant helps a customer to find what he wants.

Объяснение:
The fact that plants do not live a passive life has been known for some time now. Two separate and (1) reliable research studies reveal that these silent (2) communicators may be 'talking' to each other and us! If you have ever noticed that certain plants seem to thrive next to each other, it may not be a (3) coincidence or (4) proof of your superior gardening skills, but it shows the good (5) neighboring (6) feeling between the two. At least that's what an (7) Australian team of (8) researchers believes. The evolutionary (9) ecology states that plants use some kind of acoustic signaling to communicate with each other and it may allow the weaker plant to thrive or die. What's even more (10) interesting is that the (11) scientist believes the (12) communication happens at a very early stage. Monica, who published her (13) finding in the 7th online edition of BMC Ecology, reached this (14) conclusion following an (15) interesting study she conducted with some chili pepper, basil and fennel plants. So (16) farmers may be able to use sound to (17) encourage or (18) discourage the (19) growing of certain plants, helping to reduce their (20) dependence on fertilizers and pesticides.
