southern ,Asia1 some species live in desert habitats1 while others are rainforest dwellers4 ,Along with many other lizards1 larger chameleons have tails that are adapted for grasping trees4 ,They also have rapidly extendable tongues to catch prey4 ,Chameleons have two forward-facing toes and two back toes1 a climbing adaptation they share with some bird and owl species4 ,Still another unusual characteristic possessed by chameleons is their independently mobile eyes4 ,This is a strong advantage in both hunting prey and spotting predators4 ,Most enchantingly1 of course1 chameleons can change the color of their skin4 ,You might think the only reason chameleons change color is to elude predators by blending in with their surroundings1 but you would be wrong4 ,The many purposes for their shifting appearance are much more interesting and include mating1 hunting1 social interaction1 and defense4 ,While chameleons can run very fast and usually flee from predators successfully using only their speed1 they still need to hide1 sometimes using camouflage4 ,This adaptation enables the animal to regulate its body temperature and display its mood1 signaling its intentions to other chameleons4 ,Changing to a darker color increases the animal's body temperature1 while taking on a lighter shade produces the opposite effect4 ,Chameleons also darken themselves in reaction to fear and change into their brightest colors in a display of excitement4 ,A red chameleon is excited2 a green one is probably calm4 ,Males change color more often1 and females do it to signal their willingness to mate4 ,Chameleons can exhibit a wide range of the color spectrum1 allowing people who keep pet chameleons1 some claim1 to easily read their pet's mood4 #a4 ,What can be inferred about

address of the ,,EMI studio in ,London where the band was working at the time4 ,Although the album cover is among the most imitated and recognizable photos in rock-and-roll history1 the photo shoot itself only lasted #aj minutes4 ,From atop a ladder1 photographer ,Iain ,Macmillan captured history in the making as the four members of the band crossed the street outside the studio while a police officer held traffic4 ,Six days before the album was released in #aifi1 ,John ,Lennon announced his departure from the band4 ,Abbey ,Road went on to become the first album by ,The ,Beatles to sell over #aj million copies1 and it remains one of their best-selling albums of all time4 ,Because the band was so famous1 their use of the crosswalk on ,Abbey ,Road made it a popular destination for tourists in ,London and fans of ,The ,Beatles' music4 ,One interesting piece of ,Beatles mythology uses the album cover to perpetuate an urban legend that surrounded the band during the #aifjs4 ,Some diehard fans were convinced that there were clues left in the music and album art that hinted at the death of ,Paul ,Mc,Cartney1 who wrote some of ,The ,Beatles' most famous tunes4 ,The appearance and order of the band mates crossing the road is said to be a reference to ,Mc,Cartney's funeral procession4 ,From the right1 ,Lennon appears in white as the preacher1 drummer ,Ringo ,Starr is the undertaker1 ,Mc,Cartney is the corpse with no shoes on1 and lastly ,George ,Harrison is the gravedigger wearing denim4 ,Of course1 these details were meaningless parts of a contrived story1 but the

,Portugal is only #ajth in size among the countries of ,Western ,Europe1 but don't let its relatively small size fool you--,Portugal was once one of the most powerful nations on ,Earth4 ,During the ,Age of ,Discovery1 ,Portugal established one of the longest-lived colonial empires4 ,Today1 it is best known for its rich culture and culinary traditions4 ,One of the best places to experience all that ,Portugal has to offer is in ,Porto1 the nation's second-largest city4 ,Walking around ,Porto1 you will immediately notice the city's majestic architecture4 ,The buildings and structures of ,Porto have a warm and rustic feel to them4 ,This is due in large part to the use of azulejo tiles1 elaborate ceramic tiles that were introduced to ,Portugal by the ,Moors4 ,The name azulejo comes from an ,Arabic word that translates to mean 8polished stone40 ,A prime example of the tile's beauty can be seen at ,Sao ,Bento ,Station1 which has more than #bj1jjj tiles covering the walls4 ,Legendary artist ,Jorge ,Colaco painted key scenes from ,Portugal's history on the tiles1 which help educate visitors about the nation's past4 ,Pictures depicting the lives of the ,Portuguese royal family or images commemorating historic events introduce an element of contemplation to the normally busy place4 ,Just don't stare at this masterpiece for too long1 or you might miss your train4 ,Another must-see destination in ,Porto is the ,Lello ,Bookstore4 ,Located in the northern part of the city1 it's one of the country's oldest bookstores4 ,Many also consider it the most beautiful4 ,The two-story interior features wooden walls and an intricate stained-glass ceiling4 ,It was a favorite spot for author ,J4 ,K4 ,Rowling when she was teaching ,English in ,Portugal4 ,Many believe that the sights she saw in ,Porto inspired her as she wrote the ,Harry ,Potter series4 33333333333333333333 p/1f%1)1hw"mt"k*'ix"k?`i:"e*'('d*"i:1 d>":1*`2dv"o+1o0"f>'g/1j:`e{`d!amt"k*'

a short distance upstream from the city center1 ,Douro ,,DOC has been the home of fine wines for over #b1jjj years4 ,The valley's mountainous terrain offers the perfect climate for making wine4 ,Although several varieties of wine are produced here1 ,Douro ,,DOC specializes in port wine4 ,Port is a fortified wine1 which means that extra alcohol is added to it4 ,During the production process1 winemakers will add a small amount of brandy or grape spirit to the wine4 ,This gives the wine a sweet taste and makes it stronger than normal wines4 ,Port is typically served after meals1 when it is time to have dessert4 ,It pairs well with sweet treats like chocolate and complements the flavor of a cigar4 ,The best way to experience the magic of port is to share a bottle with friends on a chilly evening4 ,Before knocking back a glass of local wine1 make sure to sample the city's most famous dish3 the ,Francesinha4 ,Many believe a man named ,Daniel da ,Silva invented it in the #aifjs4 ,It was supposedly his attempt at adapting ,French food to the ,Portuguese palate4 ,The ,Francesinha is a mouthwatering sandwich stuffed with ham1 sausage1 or steak and topped with melted cheese4 ,To add the finishing touch1 a thick sauce made from beer and tomato sauce is drizzled over the sandwich4 ,Since it's covered in this juicy liquid1 the ,Francesinha must be eaten with a knife and fork4 ,Restaurants in ,Porto typically have their own secret sauce recipe1 so you should plan on trying a few different versions before leaving town4 ,There is no shortage of delights to indulge in while

living on the continent ,Down ,Under4 ,The marsupial species is only native to ,Australia1 and there are strict rules and regulations about hunting them4 ,To maintain a healthy population of kangaroos1 there can't be too many or too few4 ,A certain number of culling licenses are given out every year1 but reports say that low trade prices and demand shortages are stopping commercial hunters from profiting on the sale of meat4 ,As ,Australia's national animal1 killing and eating kangaroos is stigmatized4 ,Most ,Aussies see it as a novelty bushmeat for tourists to try on their visit4 ,As the target of hunters1 kangaroos are most often used for their leather or hides1 but the meat is lauded as being low in fat4 ,They also produce less methane gas than other farm animals1 which makes them a more environmentally friendly source of meat4 ,Some environmentalists are even encouraging their fellow ,Australians to eat more kangaroo4 ,Professor ,David ,Paton of the ,University of ,Adelaide said1 8,If we're going to cull these animals1 we do it humanely1 but we also perhaps should think about what we might use the animals that are killed for40 ,He and other experts say that hunting kangaroos is an important part of keeping an ecological balance for the good of the country's wildlife and land4 ,Opponents of culling would argue that there is no evidence that lowering the kangaroo population has a positive effect on the environment4 ,Either way1 could kangaroo steaks be the next eco-friendly food fad8 #a4 ,What is the ,Australian government's role in kangaroo hunting8 7,A7 ,They think no one should kill their country's national animal4 7,B7 ,They issue a limited number of hunting licenses every year4 7,C7 ,They are against the eating of kangaroo meat4 7,D7 ,They want as many kangaroos dead as possible4 #b4 ,What is ,,NOT mentioned as a benefit of eating kangaroo meat8 7,A7 ,It is low in fat compared to other kinds of meat4 7,B7 ,Kangaroos produce less methane than cows4 7,C7 ,Their population numbers in the wild are high4 7,D7 ,Killing kangaroos protects people from being attacked4 #c4 ,Why are some people against hunting kangaroos in the wild8 7,A7 ,They don't think it has a positive effect on the other wildlife4 7,B7 ,They believe that kangaroo populations are dangerously low4 7,C7 ,They are worried about eating meat that isn't

officials across the country were ordered to reduce their use of these life-sized mascots1 which are known in ,Japan as yuru-chara4 ,The term directly translates to mean 8loose character10 and1 in this case1 it signifies gentle or lighthearted figures4 ,Despite the ,Japanese public's fondness for mascots1 the government has determined that a lot of them are really just a waste of money4 ,Osaka1 for example1 has cut down on the number of mascots from #ib to #fi1 meaning the city doesn't need to hire as many people to don the mascot costumes and attend events4 ,While many yuru-chara have been downsized in what one ,Osaka official cleverly described as 8virtual restructuring10 there is a superstar among ,Japanese mascots that's unlikely to ever face the chopping block3 a plump bear named ,Kumamon4 ,Appearing as a predominately black bear with big red circles on his cheeks1 big eyes1 and a large1 white snout turned into a wide smile1 ,Kumamon was created in #bjaj4 ,The character was part of a campaign to attract tourists to ,Japan's ,Kumamoto ,Prefecture1 following the opening of a high-speed rail line in the region4 ,From that humble beginning1 ,Kumamon's popularity grew and
