7、e you remember your own dad! The male giant water bug doesnt seem to mind a heavy load on his back for his kids. The female puts about 100 to 150 eggs on the back of the male, and then she leaves. Once the female is gone, the male has to look after the eggs. It usually takes one to two weeks for the

8、 eggs to hatch. The father giant water bug jumps around to make sure the growing eggs get enough air and water. All this time he cant fly because of the weight of the eggs growing rapidly on his back. Now lets turn to the male stickleback fish. When the mother leaves after laying her eggs, the fathe

9、r tends his young. If the young fish go too far away, their father helps with their safe return by carrying them back in his mouth. The male stickleback looks after all his young as many as 100 until they can live on their own. A similar example can be found in emperor penguins living in cold areas.

10、 The male emperor penguin goes without food while looking after his egg until it hatches.

13、Forgets about C. Takes care of D. Loses control ofCWhen a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does notlive up tothe manufacturers claims, the first step is to present the warranty, or any other records which might help at the store of purchase. In most cases,

14、this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” his or her complaint, the faster he or she can exp

15、ect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter. Complaining is

16、 usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statemen

17、ts. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work”. The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and

18、firmly as possible. If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers rights.9. When a consumer finds that

22、 with complaints from customersDPeople are seeking for opportunities that will assist them in reaching their goals. Marketing yourself can be a good choice, which can help you achieve your goals. Though when people talk about marketing, they usually think that this is about producing a sale, it does

23、 not necessarily have to be.If you are an employee then you want your boss to take your ideas, and if you are on a job hunting then you want to find a good position. So in reality, marketing really leads to sale. So marketing yourself means you are simply “selling” yourself!The common problem in mar

24、keting yourself is that most people think that it is unpleasant to market themselves. They think that marketing concerns only to a business. Of course, this is absolutely not true.

25、er you market yourself, the more opportunities you will have. Marketing yourself does not really mean telling every person how beautiful and wonderful you are.
