                  Certainly no creature in the sea is odder tha the common              sea cucumber.All living creature,especially human beings              ,have their peculiarities,but everything about the little sea               cucumber seems unusual.What else can be said about a  line        bizarre animal that,among other eccentricities,eats mud,              feeds almost continuously day and night but can live  (5)        without eathing for long periods, and can be poisonous but              is considered supremely edible by gourmets?                    For some fifty million years,despite all its eccentricities              the sea cucumber has subsisted on its diet of mud.It is               adaptable enough to live attached to rocks by its tube feet              under rocks in shallow water,or on the surface of mud flats.

                         Many of the most damaging and life-threatening types              of weather-torrential rains,severe thunderstorms,and              tornadoes-begin quickly,strike suddenly,and dissipate              rapidly,devastating small regions while leaving neighboring  line      areas untouched. One such event,a tornado,stuck the  (5)       northeastern section of Edmonton,Alberta,in july 1987.            Total damages from the tornado exceeded $250 million,the             highest ever for any Canadian storm.Conventional computer             models of the atmosphere have limited value in predicting              short-lived local storms like the Edmonton tornado,because              the available weather data are generally not detailed enough             to allow computers to discern the subtle atmospheric              changes that precede these storms.In most nations,for              example,weather-balloon observations are taken just once (10)      ever

                            By the turn of the century,the middle-class home in             North American had been transformed."The flow of              industry has passed and left idle the loom in the attic,the   line      soap kettle in the shad,"Ellen Richards wrote in 1908. (5)       The urban middle class was now able to buy a wide array              of food products and cloting- baked goods             canned goods,suits,shirts,shoes,and             dresses.Not only had houshold production waned,but              technological improvements were rapidly changing the rest             of domestic work.Middle-class homes had indoor running (10)      water and furnaces,run on oil,coal,or gas,that produced hot              water.Stoves were fueled by gas,and delivery services               provided ice for refrigerators.Electric power was available               for lamps,sewing machines,irons,and even vacuum               cleaners.No domestic task was unaff

                           People in the United States in the nineteenth century               haunted by the prospect that unprecedented change in he               nation's economy would bring social chaos in the years               following 1820,after several decades of relative stability,the   line      economy entered a period of sustained and extremely rapid (5)        growth thhat continued to the end of the nineteenth century.              Accompanying that growth that was a structural change               that featured increasing economic diversification and a               gradual shift in the nation's labor force from agriculture to              manufacturing and other nonagricultural pursuits.                   Although the birth rate continued to decline from its               high level of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century.              The population roughly doubled every generation during (10)      the rest of the nineteenth centuries.A

                  Bloodhounds are biologically adapted to trailing their               The process by which the nose recognizes an odor is not               fully understood,but there are apparently specific receptor              sites for specific odors.In one explanation,recognition   line      occurs when a scent molecule fits into its corresponding               receptor site,like a key into a lock,causing a mechanical or (5)        chemical change in the cell.Bloodhounds apparently have               denser concentrations of receptor sites tuned to human               scents.                     When a bloodhound trails a human being,what does it               actually smell?The human body,which consists of about 60               trillion living cells,sheds exposed skin at a rate of 50               million cells a day.So even a trail that has been dispersed  (10)      by breezes may still seem rich to a bloodhound.The body               also produces about 31 to 5
