One of the greatest mysteries in biology—how the monarch butterfly travels thousands of kilometers on its yearly migration—has just been solved.
Monarch butterflies use the sun to ____1____ their body clocks and make their journeys, according to US scientists.
No other butterfly in the world migrates like orange and black monarchs of North America. Each autumn, thousands travel up to 3,300 km to spend winter in the mountains of Mexico. There are so many that they almost ____2____ the sky. And you can hear their wings ____3____.
It usually takes the butterflies two ____4____ to reach Mexico. After five months of stay, they head back up north in the spring. But not one butterfly ____5____ the whole round trip. They lay eggs along the way and die.
Three ____6____ of butterflies will live and die during the spring journey alone. The fourth and final offspring(后代) of the year is born in early autumn and will reach the ____7____. But it hardly gets to rest before starting the ____8____ journey south to Mexico.
Past studies have shown the insects use the ____9____ as a compass to show them the way. But experts were unsure how the butterflies change their _____10_____ as the sun moves in the sky.
This new study now shows the insects use a body “circadian” clock as part of their sun compass. In laboratory tests, monarch butterflies were _____11_____ to fly in the right direction under normal daylight hours. But those flying in 24-hour light headed _____12_____ towards the sun. They no longer had any _____13_____ of time.
Steven Report, who led the research, said, “We have shown the _____14_____ for the circadian clock for monarch butterfly migration. When the clock is interrupted, monarchs are _____15_____ to fly towards Mexico.”

I finished my dinner and went into a shop in the hope of finding some last-minute Christmas gifts. There was a lot to see. Every shelf and wall was ___71___ with different handiwork.

As we sat next to each other, she touched my face to ___93___ its shape and suggested I get bangs (刘海).

That finished, she went on to pencil my eyebrows, line my eyes..., slow but with amazing accuracy!
“Though many people don’t think it’s ___97___ for blind people to put on makeup, since it’s difficult and we wouldn’t even ‘see’ the ___98___, I consider the whole process a way for me to enjoy the moment,” Xiao told me.

We _____121_____ know where we might find the inspiration to create. As a _____122_____, most of my inspiration comes from other people’s music. But I also find _____123_____ in other places. Books, movies and _____124_____ just moments in everyday life can lead to new creations.
_____125_____, I recently rewatched the film Blade Runner. I’ve seen it plenty of times before; it’s one of my favorite movies. But this time, for some reason, I saw it _____126_____.

Beside him ____153____ a little girl in a sea of sheets. She, too, was a ____154____, so being at the hospital was probably nothing new to her.
When I saw her, she looked a bit ____155____.

Masses of people only talked to her out of pity or just ______161______ her.
I went home that day and didn’t ______162______ too much about it. To me she was just a person, and ______163______ a person like a simple “Hi” probably didn’t make a ______164______.
But it turned out that I was ______165______. After I left, the little girl talked to my mom about how much happiness I had ______166______ to her.
