13、rates were not calculated using the proper baseline date for when the species was first described.taking these points into consideration, the extinction rate is closer to one bird species per year, says pimm, the leading author of the study. and the rate could be three times as high as that if not f

32、n ran out. in fact, laika lasted only hours in orbit before over heating in her capsule(太空艙) took her life.that next step, occurred in august 1960, when the dogs belka and strelka made 18 orbits of earth and returned alive. like laika before them, they becamedistinguished, featured in newspapers and

40、collecting information is incredibly difficult. to study the past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen（花粉）kept in lake mud, going back to the last ice age means drilling down into lake sediments（沉淀物）, which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery. there are very few roads

41、 and paths, or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes. rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled（未取樣）. so far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide
