My phne is n lnger mine. Has this happened t anyne else? Remember thse ld days when we all shared ne telephne. Perhaps this is hw my wn mther felt when she picked up the telephne in the huse, nly t hear my vice chatting with a friend.

My husband and I are Generatin Xers fighting ur way thrugh a wrld filled with Tiktk, Snapchat, and Twitter. They allw us t reach the wrld, and they als allw the wrld t reach us.

Even thugh I’m frequently annyed because my phne has “walked ff” again, my heart is very full. My kids and I are sharing. Were learning t c-exist, t set bundaries, and t think f each ther first.

Sharing my phne may be difficult, but it’s rewarding; it builds anther layer f cnnectin between us.

If yu have ever tried t catch a resting butterfly, yu knw it is surprisingly difficult. A new study helps explain why.
Previus research had suggested that a butterfly's verhead wing clap frces the insect frward. Researchers thught the wing clap likely frmed a pcket f air that shts ut like a jet. But n ne had tested that until nw.
T analyze their flight, they placed six butterflies ne at a time inside a wind tunnel which was filled with smke and then used a laser t light up the smke just behind the butterfly. Fur high-speed cameras were placed in the tunnel t take phts f the mvement f the butterfly and the smke as the butterfly was taking ff. This let the researchers create a 3D picture f that air mvement as the insect flapped its wings.
They analyzed a ttal f 25 takeffs by six butterflies. Each included up t three wingbeats after takeff. The butterflies prved mre likely t clap their wings tgether during the first few wingbeats than later in flight.
The phts shw that frces created by the wings give rise t a flight path. The butterflies rise as their wings mve dwn and sht frward as their wings mve up. A wing clap n takeff, paired with a quick turn, allwed the butterflies t fly away quickly. They als nticed the wings frmed an air pcket just befre clapping and that the wings' flexibility and this pcket imprved the jet frce created by the clap.
“The study is exalting,” says Aydeji Bde-Oke, a mechanical engineer in Charlttesville. That means “we have slved the lngtime puzzle abut hw butterflies fly, and it prves nthing is impssible n the rad f scientific research. I can't wait t learn abut hw the study might infrm designs fr small flying vehicles.”
17．Why was laser used in the experiment?
A．T frighten the butterflies int flying.B．T help researchers bserve the butterflies.
C．T help take clear phts f air mvement.D．T guide the butterflies thrugh the smke.
18．What is the finding f the research accrding t paragraph 5?
A．Butterflies fly frward as wings mve dwn.
B．An air pcket frms after butterflies clap wings.
C．Butterflies beat wings three times befre taking ff.
D．Upward wing mvements help butterflies fly frward.
19．What des the underlined wrd “exalting" in the last paragraph prbably mean?
A．Puzzling.B．Exciting.C．Simple.D．Impssible.
20．What can be the best title fr the text?
A．Why Can Butterflies Fly Like a Jet?B．Hw Can Butterflies Make Wing Claps?
