CHAPTER VIII

The Robin Who Showed The Way 

1.   Mary looked at the key over and over a long time, and thought about it if it was the key to the closed garden for ten years, and she could see was inside, and perhaps she could play alone and nobody would ever know where she was.

3.   Already Mary felt less “contrary”, though she did not know why.

4.   Martha talked to Mary about your family and a lot of histories that she had happened during your free day in your cottage and Mary liked to listen about it.

5.  Martha's mother had bought a skipping-rope for tuppence to Mary. She did not understand how a cottage full of fourteen hungry people could give any one a present.

6.  Martha teached Mary about to play with the skipping-rope because Mary had never seen one.

7. The skipping-rope was a wonderful thing that Mary had ever seen and he was thing more interesting that she had ever seen since she was born. 

8.  She skipped and skipped and counted round the fountain garden and she found Ben  who was working in the garden with company of robin.

9.  She wanted him to see her skip.  They have a friendly conversation about the Mary’s toy.

10. Mary skipped round all the gardens and round the orchard and robin followed her all time and She found a door and she used the key and she could open the door. She was standing inside the secret garden.

Early Humans—Not Climate Change—Decimated

Africa’s Large Carnivores

Africa once harbored a far greater variety of large carnivores than it does today. Competition with early humans for access to prey may have brought about their decline

Autor, A.A Lars Werdelin (October 16, 2013)

Name of the Article: Early Humans— Not Climate Change — Decimated Africa’s Large Carnivores  

Name of Magazine: Scientific American (http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=early-humans-not-climate-change-decimated-africas-large-carnivores)

Original version
Sunrise on the Serengeti, and life on the savanna is in full swing. Zebras and wildebeests graze the dewy grass; elephants and giraffes munch on acacia leaves; and lions and hyenas survey the scene, looking for their next meal. To visit this place is, in some ways, to see the world as it looked to our ancestors millions of years ago, long before humans began to wreak havoc on the planet—or so the conventional wisdom goes. Indeed, much of eastern Africa is often thought of as a pristine ecosystem, largely unchanged by our kind in the more than two million years since our genus, Homo, arose.   But new research paints a rather different picture of this supposedly unaltered place. In my studies of the fossil record of African carnivores, I have found that lions, hyenas and other large-bodied carnivores that roam eastern Africa today represent only a small fraction of the diversity this group once had. Intriguingly, the decline of these carnivores began around the same time that early Homo started eating more meat, thus entering into competition with the carnivores. The timing of events hints that early humans are to blame for the extinction of these beasts—starting more than two million years ago, long before Homo sapiens came on the scene.
New words - Essay
Serengeti: Region of Africa located in north Tanzania. The article is talking about this place in the developed of the scientific study.	Now, to see this place with different animals as zebras, wildebeests, elephants, giraffes, lions, hyenas etc. and visit this place is as to see this world as millions of years ago. But this was much more…
Wildebeests: A big African Animal with horns and a long tail that lives in grasslands	These are some animals that live in Serengeti, but is only one of the species among miles that existed, but the decline in other diversity groups began around that early Homo started eating more meat.
Dewy: Are crops of water that form on ground during the night.	This is the aliment of the animals as Wildebeests, zebras and others that live in Serengeti.
Survey: Watch with attention, contemplate.	This is way as the animals as lion, hyenas survey their next meal. It is as contemplate how the wildebeests, zebras eat.
Ancestors: a person who lived a long time ago and that is related with the people today
Wreak havoc: Consequence to do destruction and often uncontrolled way	There were other diversity of animals long before humans began to wreak havoc on the planet.
Wisdom: A ability to use knowledge and experience in to make good decisions	The article uses this word for explain that the humans have destroyed the planet and this theory is said by popular wisdom.
Indeed: Often used to emphasize. Certainly
Pristine ecosystem: Is an ecosystem that Remaining in a pure state; uncorrupted by civilization	Eastern Africa is considerate a pristine ecosystem in the more than two million years since our genus, Homo, arose
Roam: to move about travel.	The carnivores that roam eastern Africa today is  only one of the species among many that existed.
Intriguingly: Mysterious, curious, very interesting
To blame: Is the responsibility of bad fact or is responsible for something bad happening	The early humans are to blame for the extinction of these animal species

CHAPTER VII

The Key Of The Garden

1. One day, when Mary opened her eyes, she looked surprised at the moor. The rainstorms had ended and the sky was softly blue and Marta said to Mary “It’s a long way off yet, but the springtime is coming”.

2. Marta speaks about how is the spring in Yorkshire. In it there are blossoms and hundreds of butterflies fluttering, bees humming, skylarks singing and a lot of others animals as rabbits, sheep, ponies and foxes. Martha tells Mary that she will want to get out at sunrise and live out on it all day like Dickon does.

3. Mary wants to know all the places that Martha has spoken and she also wants to know Dickon because she has never seen him.

4. Mary felt lonelier than ever when Marta went.

5. Mary went out into the garden as quickly as possible and she ran round and round the fountain flower garden ten times and she counted the times carefully and she felt better.

6. Mary walked away slowly thinking she had begun to like the garden, robin, Dickon, Martha's mother and Martha as well, and she that seemed a good many people to like.

7. Mary heard a chirp; she knew that robin had followed her. Mary said him "You do remember me!!"

8. Robin was so pretty and so grand that it was really as if he were showing her how important and like a human person a robin could be. Mary was happy.

9. At moment, Mary saw something almost buried in the newly turned soil, it was an old key which looked as if it had been buried a long time.

10. Mary thought that perhaps it has been buried for ten years and it is the key to the garden!

Chimpanzees Intentionally Warn Their Friends About Danger

 

Autor, A.A Joseph Stromberg  (October 17, 2013)

Name of the Article: Chimpanzees Intentionally Warn Their Friends About Danger

Name of Magazine: Smithsonianmag.com (http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/science/2013/10/chimpanzees-intentionally-warn-their-friends-about-danger/)

Subject:     Surprising Science

Date: Octuber 17, 2013

Main Ideas	Details
Chimps make different warning calls to other chimps, through sounds and they keep the alarm until their friends are safe.   Chimps are able of all sorts of human-like behaviors that go far beyond tool use.    This discovery tells us something about the evolution of human language.	-          The study shows that, in their natural environment, chimps have a way more similar to language than previously thought.    -          This study was done in a community of 73 chimps that lives in Uganda’s Budongo Forest Reserve, and led by Anne Marijke Schel of the University of York.   -          Typically, when the chimps saw danger, they used one of two different vocalizations o   ‘huus’ (softer calls, with less alarm). o   ‘waas’ (louder, more alarmed calls).    -          The researchers found that the startled chimps were much more likely to make the "wass" rather than "huus" when other chimps were around.    -          The researchers found that were more likely to trigger alarms when were closer relationships among them.     -          "It really seemed the chimpanzees directed their alarm calls at specific individuals.” said the researchers.   -          They continuing warning until they’d successfully warned about danger other chimps so they fled.
Summary: The Noises of Chimps are much more than the instinctive expression of fear; these are security warning among them. The researchers have discovered that vocalizations of chimps are employed in different circumstances. This discovery tells us something about the evolution of human language. Until now, it was thought that chimps were making vocalizations based on engrained instinct, but this discovery of intentional warning in chimps seems to upend this idea.

My questions by inventor Rylan Grayston:

Sr. Grayston: Why are you want design a cheap printer with household materials and last you say that the customer need $250 more?

Is not this contradictory?

What do you think about that the customer have to assemble your own printer?

6. Mary thought she would like to know "Why did Mr. Craven hates the garden" and she asked to Martha, but Martha did not want to speak about it because this was Mr. Caven's orders.

7. But Martha talked about it. She said:
-----

It was Mrs. Craven's garden that she had made when first they were married.

8. Mr. and Mrs. Craven used the garden to go in and shut the door and stay there hours and hours reading and talking.

9. But one day when Mrs. Craven was sitting in a branch in the garden, the branch broke and she fell on the ground was hurt so bad that next day, she died.

China’s Tianducheng Is an Eerie Ghost Town Version of Paris

Autor, A.A. Posted By Rachel Nuwer (2013, September 20 2:27 pm). - Name of the Article: China's Tianducheng Is an Eerie Ghost Town Version of Paris Name of Magazine: Smithsonianmag http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/smartnews/2013/09/chinas-tianducheng-is-an-eerie-ghost-town-version-of-paris/

REMEMBER 1.       China has replicas of Venice, the White House, the World Trade Towers, London-like Thames town and now a miniature Paris, built in 2007 in a town called Tianducheng close to Shanghai. 2.       This is a good idea for Chinese people, because they can to live in other countries with your culture. But the project did not go as planned, because the location is all wrong and the residents never showed.

SUMMARIZE 3.       China has replicas of important places of the world, but the experts scoff. 4.       This is attractive to Chinese people, because they have to live in China and to live others cultures at the same time. 5.       Now, this project is the ghost town because the location is all wrong.  Tainducheng’s developers build the city in the middle of the rural countryside, where there are no urban connections or public transportation. Now  attract urban tourist

QUESTION 6.        What is your opinion about of “ghost  city”?  and How could exploit this city to recover the investment?

COMMENT 7.       First question: Tianducheng’s developers don’t used engineering, because they did not think in all important things for build a city to live. 8.       Second question: Use Tainducheng for tourist and cinematography, while there are more connections and public transportation for to call more dwellers.

CONNECT Xetulul  is Guatemala’s  park that has replicas of square Spain, square Italian, square France, and square Germany and Switzerland, this is a good idea for Guatemalan people, because they can enjoy of another countries. But Xetulul is only a park to enjoy.

VACABULARY Dwellers:   People to live in the town, city or country. Wrong:  Any things or ideas with mistake/error. Scoff: to speak about of a person’s idea without respect.
