Researchers have found that migrating animals use a variety of inner compasses to help them navigate. Some (1) by the position of the Sun. Others navigate by the stars. Some use the Sun as (2) guide during the day, and then (3) to star navigation by night. One study shows that the homing pigeon uses the Earth’s magnetic fields as a guide (4) finding its way home, and there are indications that various other animals, from insects to mollusks (软体动物), can also make (5) of magnetic compasses. (6) is of course very useful for a migrating bird to be able to switch to magnetic compass when clouds cover the sun; (7) it Would just have to land and wait for the Sun to come out again. (8) with the Sun or stars to steer by, the problems of navigation are more complicated (9) they might seem at first. For example, a worker honeybee (10) has found a rich source of nectar and pollen flies rapidly home to the hive to (11) : A naturalist has discovered that the bee scout (12) her report through complicated dance in the hive, (13) she tells the other workers not only how far away the food is, but also what direction to fly in (14) to the Sun. (15) the Sun does not stay in one place all day. As the workers start (16) to gather the food, the Sun may (17) have changed its position in the sky somewhat. In later trips during the day, the Sun seems to move farther and farther toward the west. Yet the worker bees seem to have no (18) at all in finding the food source. Their inner (19) tell them just where the Sun will be, and they change their course (20) .

Pandemic (大面积流行的)H1N1 2009
The most active areas of pandemic influenza transmission currently are in central and eastern Europe. Focal(集中的) increases in rates during recent week were
(51) in at least two eastern European countries. A high intensity of respiratory(呼吸的) disease activity with concurrent(同时存在的 ) circulation of pandemic influenza still
(52) in parts of southern and eastern Europe,
(53) in Greece,Poland, and Ukraine.
In Western Europe, influenza transmission remains
(54) and widespread,but overall disease activity has peaked. All influenza viruses in Western Europe were pandemic H1N1 2009,
(55) ,very small numbers of seasonal influenza viruses, covering less than 1% of all influenza viruses found, were reported in Russia. In
(56) , limited available data indicate that active,, high intensity transmission is occurring in Northern African countries
(57) the Mediterranean coast.
In Central Asia, limited data
(58) that influenza virus circulation remains active, but transmission may have recently peaked in some places. In West Asia, Israel,Iran, and Iraq also appear to have passed their
(59) period of transmission within the past month, though both areas continue to have some active transmission and levels of respiratory disease activity have not yet
(60) to baseline levels. In East Asia, influenza transmission remains active but appears to be
(61) overall. Slight increases in ILI were reported in Mongolia after weeks of declining activity following a large peak of activity
(62) one month age.
In North America,influenza transmission
(63) widespread but has declined quickly in all countries. In the tropical regions of Central and South America and the Caribbean, influenza transmis- sion remains geographically widespread but overall disease
(64) has been declining or remains unchanged in most parts
(65) for focal increases in respiratory disease activity in a few countries.
