Biology: 1.OG06—the Swimming Machine Tuna; sailfish; marlin; mackerel—super fish (coitus and sleep in water) a.super body—streamline; few scales—smooth; eyes level with grooved body; sharp fins and needles; special scales—finlet小鳍; corselet胸鳍(help reduce resistance); must swim constantly—mostly lack of gas-filled sac and bladder, so open mouth all the time b.high-narrow tail—super propulsion; sensitive to eddies and twirls in sea—make use of them to add propulsive force c.special temperature maintaining muscles (25C in 7C water); keep brains and eyes warm; billfish—modified muscles
2.Online test 01—Opportunists and Competitors Introduction—the principle of energy allocation followed by organisms decides that the major difference that categorizes organisms is how they allocate energy between to growth and to reproduction.a.Almost all energy used to reproduction—opportunists; that to growth of a huge body—competitors b.Opportunists—dandelions disperse a huge number of seeds constantly and can survive in human habitats but has no strong stems and died easily under the influence of disasters or competitors—the population varied hugely along the time c.Competitors—oak trees have longevity (200years averagely) and strong competitive power against draughts, pests and fire even; leaves have foul-tasted tannins that pests hate; population is stable.
Conclusion: few plants are extremely opportunistic or competitive but blenders of both features
3.TPO04 paage01—Deer Population of Puget Sound Washington, Pacific Northwest of United States—2 dominant deer species: 1.black-tailed mule-like deer in east Washington (lowland);2.white-tailed Columbian deer (prairie and flood) a. black-tailed: forest understory plants—herbal; berry; dogwood水木; in harsh season—migrate to lowland area—bushes and arboreal plants木本植物 (cedar leaves and red alders红恺木) b. 1800-1832, deer population was reduced remarkably by the gaming of human colonizers, European explorers and by the hunting aiming at protecting farm plants c. Further population decrease—urban development caused the disappearance of habitats d. Population rebound (1940 witneed the presence of 320,000 mule and black-tailed deer with annual increase of 65,000 deer) should give thanks to other human actions: removal of predators like wolves and limiting time for hunting, and, logging the forest where bushes, the food of deer, have been much more nutrient than before

Arts: 1.OG01—Applied Arts and Fine Arts Main Ideas: 1.Paragraph 01: Applied arts have to be made following particular patterns/norms in accordance with physical laws and basically are of three functions, namely, to contain, to support and to shelter.For example, a gla bottle, a fiber-woven vase or a clay jar needs to have a bottom to contain stuff.
2.Paragraph 02: The production of fine arts is often aumed to follow the rules, too.However, fine arts are not purposed to function so they are more subject to artists’ conceptions.During Renaiance, bronze sculpture/statue of a horse with a leg suspended needed a cannonball under the leg, but later iron one needed no cannonball.It shows that fine art objects in terms of stability also need to follow physical laws but can be made in wider range of patterns provided proper internal structure and properties of materials.
3.Paragraph 03: It is not an exaggeration, in conclusion, that fine artists work to overcome the limitations of materials while those of applied arts work in concert with materials.
