21、A fish that lives in America can live out. of water for months at a time, similar to how animals got used to land millions of years ago, a new study shows.

The Mangrove Rivulus, a kind of little fish, lives in small pools of water. When their living place dries up, they live. on the land, said Scott Taylor, a researcher in Florida.  

The fish can grow as large as three inches. They group together and breathe air through their skin before they can find water again.

The new scientific discovery came during a trip.

"We were travelling for fun. and one day I kicked over a log (圆木) and the fish came out," Taylor told reporters by telephone. He said he would make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year.

In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating.

Some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at a time, while lungfish(肺鱼) found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water, but only in a not active(活波的)way. But no other known fish can be out of water as long as the Mangrove Rivulus and keep active, according to Patricia Wright, a biologist at a Canadian University.

More studies of the fish may tell how animals changed over time.

"These animals live in conditions similar to those millions of years ago, when animals began to move from water onto land," Wright said.

24、In the United States, headmasters and teachers discipline(惩罚) students in several ways. The teacher often writes to or calls the students’ parents. Sometimes students have to stay at school for one hour. If a student behaves very badly, the headmaster can stop the student having classes.

Other students looked at the boy and his father. The boy was embarrassed. After that he behaved better. And, of course, other students behaved better, too.

25、Knowing the best way to study will help you to be a better student. By using your time p【1】, you can do your homework more quickly. Learning to study is not difficult.

The first thing to remember is that you must be willing to learn. It doesn’t m【2】 that you must always like the subject. It does mean, however, that you must be willing to learn what is n【3】 to learn. Try to understand why it is important and how it will help you now and later to do and learn other things. Knowing maths facts will be u【4】 in your whole life. Knowing how to spell English words c【5】 makes any kind of writing easier. Sometimes the s【6】 that you think is going to be uninteresting will become exciting when you begin to work at it and understand it more clearly.

Make good use of class time to listen to e【7】 the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work after class.

Look around your house and find a quiet place with good lighting for study. Get everything r【8】 before you sit down to study. Reviewing the important points that were mentioned by the teachers in class will consolidate (巩固) what you have learned. Previewing the material that the teacher will teach the next day will help you understand it more easily in class and you will remember it l【9】.

These ways may help you with your study. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these. The way which is s【10】 for you is the best.
