2.        Why Asia-America students have better academic scores than their white peers? The answer given by the team which implement a long term project about these children is that the Asia-America students spent more time on their school work than their white peers and as a result, they have less time to do other things, such as communicate with their friend and they also have more confliction with their parents. Should this status be blame?

3.        There were two big landslides in African and these landslides caused almost 2000 people lose their lives. A scientists gave the geology reason under this tragedy and why this village is vulnerable to these landslides.
The loose of dust above the bedrock and sediment formed the landslides caused by the heavy rain. The village was just on the way of the landslides and the rain flow into the valley and the water became a small river. And if the water of the rain raise to a dangerous level, it would incur another serious problem.

4.        People can foresee the landslide before it happen. Actually, in America (much rich country), A landslides happened many years ago also killed a large number of people. The reason is that people lived too close to the slope.

5.        The proportion of political party in your country will affect your vote.

6.        The new mam of animals sometimes will kill or neglect their new born babies because these babies are weak or ill. It is very frequent in the wild. The mam is very nervous and also very weak. When the new mam try to kill their babies, the zookeepers will rescue these little babies and then give them a hand-bearing. However, hand-bearing is contradictory among scientists. Some people believe that wild animals should grow in their own society and learn how to be a good mother. Some people argue that there are no negative effects on the hand-bearing.

Narwhal has a unique tooth which appears as a spiral. And a scientist has restrained one narwhal for observation

Time 3: 0'45''
A team of sociologist scoured two surveys to find why the Asian Americans perform better in school than their white peers. The simple result is that they work harder. The team suspects that the high expectation and their status in society could be to blame

Time 4: 1'36''
A devastating landslides occurred in Afghanistan and many people died in this catastrophe.  An scientist says that the geographic structure of this area results in this landslides and such structure make this kind of slides happen quite often. And the landslide can create new hazards.

Time 5: 1'10''
There is a way to reduce the loses of a landslide. And landslides also may happen in other countries

Time 6: 1'06''
There are two factors that may exert affects on election: the respective proportion of Republican and Democrats in the country where they lived, and the proportion of the two parties in the company where they worked. The distance of the counties also has effects on election.

Obstacle:  8'13"
A zoo keeper found that some animals eat their cubs or siblings. Such things often happened among the carnivals, because the animals can save their energy and foster the healthier babies through eating the weaker ones.  Some  animals even cannot raise the cubs on their own, so the zoo keeper take on this job. But the hand-raised animals need to be exposed to their species and also have to pay more effort to learn how to raise their own offsprings.  Though the hand-raise method has some weak points, it is necessary since many species are now endangered.

A bird named drungo can mimic other species alarm sound to frighten other birds away and steal thire food.

t2 [1:07]
narwhal, the sea's unicorn, has a tusk that function as tooth. The caine tooth is grown from spiral. The animal can use the tusk to test the sality of the sea. Researcher have studied these rare animal for quite a long time.

t3 [1:26]
Why Asian American outperform their white peers? Study shows that Asian American work harder. They will take challenges by working harder.But they are also found to be less self-esteem, less time spent with friends.

t4 [2:45]
A landside in Afgan has caused at least 350 people's death.
The vulnerability: the void space
Frequency: the landslide happen more than we think. It slided in both ways.

t5 [2:16]
The accident can be seen clearly through google earth, so it can be foreseen.
How we learn  from such accidents?
earth acitivity happens more often than we think.
Monitor scheme should also be set up, especially in developing countries, where there accidents often took place.

t6 [1:25]
People's voting behavior is influenced by the ratio of supportors in people's home and that in nation wide.

Obstacle: [10:53]
A sloth bear was raised by two zookeepers, because its mother had eaten two of its siblings.Studies show that infanticide is really normal in animal. They have to leave the strongest offspring to live.

Primate animal mother learn their maternal behavior. A cheetah cub was injured by its mother because the mother cheetah was quite nervous and took it out too much. Then the keeper brought out the cheetah and raised it.

Hand-raising is common. Kingfishers are notorious for their motherhood. They didn't take care little birds. The problems for these primate animals which are brought up through hand-raising are that it will be difficult for them to socilize with the same species when they are in the wild nature.

But hand-raising is not necessarily bad for the animal. The cheetah can find an adoption later.

Time 2: the article introudces one special Narwhal who has the strangest tooth in the sea. (56)

Time 3:  the researcher investigate why Asian-American students can outperform other peer students. (1:30)

Time 4: The article introduces the new Afghan landslide from three aspects.The author claims that this diaster is more like an issue for which human is waiting.(2:02)

Time 5: Paragraphes continues to discuss about how we can reduce death tolls and damage when come crossing landslides. (1:44)

Time 6:  Scientists creates a new model to predict voting patterns in US.(1:27)

Obastcle: the article introduces that why some animals eat or abandon thier young. The main reason is that monther's source is vey limited and these monther need to choose the best children to raise them up.
Scientists use some observation and examples to prove this theory. At last. animals keepers learn to feed and raise these abandoned animals in order to avoid the extinction of some endangered specious. (9:39)

a bird called the fork-tailed drongo can mimic the alarm calls of multiple birds, and make a good living at it, for example, stealing foods.

Time2: 56’‘
narwhal’s tusk is actually a tooth, and it grows directly through the whale’s upper lip instead of pushing the lip said. dentist Martin Nweeia found that narwhals can detect changes in water salinity using only their tusks.

Time3: 54’‘
Asian-American students usually have better academic achievement than their white peers, however, they are reported lower self-esteem, more conflict with their parents, and less time spent with friends compared with their white peers.

Time4: 1'51''
where a hillside saturated by heavy rains was happened in northeastern Afghanistan, where has big void spaces between the particles, which makes it weak if water gets into it, and At least 350 and possibly more than 2,000 people died in the landslide.

Time5: 1'20''
appropriate programes we can try to reduce losses. people can can get out of the way when it starts moving or during periods of heavy rain when finding a particularly dangerous slope.
The unfortunate thing is that despite the warnings that another failure was likely, and clear reports that suggested it was a dangerous slope, people were living in quite close proximity to it.

Time6: 1'01''
voting patterns in U.S. presidential elections can be predicted by a model that shows two factors directly influence someone’s vote: the proportion of Republicans and Democrats in a voter’s home county and that same proportion in the county where they work.

[obstacle] 8‘09’‘
It sounds counterintuitive to evolution, but infanticide in the wild is well-documented.Animal parents have limited resources to dedicate to their offspring,  and if the baby is sick or weak, carnivores have been known to consume babies or abandon them.

spk ： fork-tailed drongo can mimic many different species’ alarms when they want to steal food form other birds.
spd : 0.40 Sometimes called the unicorn of the sea, the male narwhal’s tusk is actually a tooth
       0.56  Asian-American students work harder and this situation should be blamed.  本能。。。中国人的勤劳基因。。。
       2.01 landslide happened in AB mainly because the thick loess layer above bedrock is mobile. about 2-3years, omewhere in the world we get a rainfall-induced landslide that kills. this will create flood problem.
        1.40 This was an accident that was waiting to happen. government should set appropriate programmes to reduce losses. lanslide spread over a bigger area.
        1.28 scientists using physics model to predict a bell curve distribution of county-level margins of victory and surprisingly long-range correlations between counties.
