The remainder resides in the oceans, atmosphere, plants, ____ and fossil fuels.
Carbon dioxide inside Earth is released continually during volcanic eruptions, and before the Industrial Revolution volcanoes were the largest source of carbon ____ entering Earth’s atmosphere.
However, the release of carbon is largely regulated by ____ natural carbon cycle, which draws down as much carbon from the atmosphere as volcanoes release into it, acting as a planetary scale thermostat.
If temperatures increase due to a period of intense volcanism, more carbon will be drawn down from the ____ which will take temperatures back to their previous levels.
However, given the slow rate of some of these chemical reactions it can ____ hundreds of thousands of years for the system to stabilize.

Ignacio Varchausky from the Buenos Aires tango orchestra El Arranque says in the documentary Si Sos Brujo that he and others tried learning from records ____ the older orchestras did what they did, but it was difficult, almost impossible.

Records may do a lot to preserve music and disseminate it, but they can’t do ____ direct transmission does.
In that same documentary, Wynton Marsalis says that the ____ the baton passing, happens on the bandstand — one has to play with others, to learn by watching and imitating.

Teams have many communication technologies at their ____ ranging from email and chat platforms to web conferencing and videoconferencing.
People often default to using the tool that is most convenient or familiar to them, ____ some technologies are better suited to certain tasks than others, and choosing the wrong one can lead to trouble.
Communication tools ____ along a number of dimensions, including information richness (or the capacity to transfer nonverbal and other cues that help people interpret meaning) and the level of real-time interaction that is possible.
A team’s communication tasks likewise ____ in complexity, depending on the need to reconcile different viewpoints, give and receive feedback, or avoid the potential for misunderstanding.
The purpose ____ the communication should determine the delivery mechanism.
So carefully consider ____ goals.
Use leaner, text-based media such as email, chat, and bulletin boards when pushing information in one direction — for instance, ____ circulating routine information and plans, sharing ideas, and collecting simple data.
Web conferencing and videoconferencing are richer, ____ interactive tools better suited to complex tasks such as problem solving and negotiation, which require squaring different ideas and perspectives.
10 동물의 미래 지향적인 행동
Animals regularly engage in future-oriented behaviors, from ____ to hibernation.
Clearly these behaviors are functionally prospective, but the extent to which they are controlled by cognitive processes remains an open ____
Migrating birds, for example, travel long distances to avoid cold winters, without ever having experienced a winter, ____ climates, or the dangers of travel.
These birds are unable to know what it is they are avoiding and why ____ course of action benefits them.
Indeed, ____ two bird populations with different migratory paths are cross-bred, the resulting offspring migrate in a direction halfway between that of their parents, suggesting that direction of migration is genetically determined.
From this example we can see that not ____ prospective behaviors can be considered to involve awareness of the future, but may instead be automatic responses to natural (e.g., seasonal changes in day length or hormones), or learned, cues.
11 토양과 식물 간의 상호 작용
Soil and the plants that grow in it are continually interacting in many ways, both directly and through the effects of the many kinds ____ bacteria, fungi and other small organisms that are always present.
Most notably, plants are continually dropping leaves and other parts which fall to ____ ground to rot in place where they release their nutrients, although in some drier climates, lightning-set fires are necessary to liberate the mineral nutrients present in the plant litter.
In any case, ____ of the nutrients present in dead plant material end up locally in the soil, while the vast networks of plant roots and fungal threads join with bacteria, lichens and sticky humus to effectively hold the soil together even in the face of heavy rains and strong winds.
The result is effective and continuous recycling of plant nutrients which are capable of moving back and forth between the soil and the ____ almost indefinitely.
Soil is also a vast storehouse for the seeds and spores produced by the local plants, a key ____ in allowing vegetation to regenerate following disturbance.
12 진화의 속도
When Darwin developed his theory of natural selection, he imagined evolution unrolling on geological timescales: the way a glacier sculpts a valley or weather beats on a rock, ____ time molds one species into another.
Such was the conventional ____ for over a century.
But in ____ late twentieth century, our understanding of evolution started to change, thanks in no small part to the continuing study of the Galápagos finches that Darwin himself had observed on the

Their genes rapidly ____
Selection ____ traits can happen over the course of years or decades, not just eons.
And Darwin’s finches ____ exemplary, not exceptional.
