12、rs from readers complaining that Germans will never win contests like Eurovision because they are so loathed abroad.Germans made a huge effort to improve their position and put the image of dangerously belligerent(好战的) armies behind them. But, in spite of that, Germans regularly get disliked across
13、Europe.“The stereotypes of Germans are treated the way they behave. Some are indeed very arrogant,“ said Lutz Erbring, a professor for media studies at Berlins free University.“ But stereotypes are often badly outdated. Germans are considered to be hard-working, in reality Germans are the laziest pe

19、or snow fall constantly from all clouds? The droplets or ice crystals in clouds are exceedingly small. The effect of gravity on them is minute. Air currents move and lift droplets so that the net downward displacement is zero, even though the droplets are in constant motion.Droplets and ice crystals
20、 behave somewhat like dust in the air made visible in a shaft(束) of sunlight. To the casual observer, dust seems to act in a totally random fashion, moving about wildly without fixed direction. But in fact dust particles are much larger than water droplets and they finally fall. The cloud droplet of
21、 average size is only 1/2,500 inch in diameter. (78)It is so small that it would take sixteen hours to fall half a mile in perfectly still air, and it does not fall out of moving air at all.

(79)I was so interested in t
26、he story I was reading that I did not notice that it was getting dark. When I realized it was too dark for me to read easily, I put the book down and got up to turn on the light. Just then I heard someone crying, “Help! Help!“ it seemed to come from the trees at the other end of the yard. (80)I look
27、ed out but it was now too dark to see anything clearly. Almost immediately I heard the cry again. It sounded like a child, but I could not imagine what anybody could be doing in our backyard, unless one of the neighborhood children had climbed a tree and had not been able to get down.I decided that

30、or anything.

31、 the flashlight away. I had just sat down to read my book again when I was frightened by the cry of “Help! Help!“ from right behind me. I dropped my book and jumped up. There, sitting on the table was a large green and red bird. It was my neighbors parrot(鹦鹉)!While I was out in the yard, the parrot
