4 . 阅读下面短文.在空白处填人l个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Scientists have discovered six new species of frog the size of a thumbnail (拇指甲) in the forests of Mexico, with one earning the distinction of Mexico’s smallest frog.

All six species are     1     ( small) than an Australian five-cent coin around 15 mm long when they are fully    2     ( grow). Adult males of the tiniest of these species, named Craugastor candelariensis, grow    3    only 13 mm. The newly discovered species    4    (know) as “direct-developing” frogs: Rather than hatching from eggs into tadpoles ( 蝌蚪)like most frogs. they emerge from the eggs as perfect mini frogs. And they’re so small that they’ re right at    5     bottom of the forest food chain.

With millions of these frogs    6    (live) in the leaf litter, they’re likely to play a    7    (huge) important role in the ecosystem as a source of food for everything else, from lizards to predatory birds. Until now these new species     8    ( go) unnoticed because they’re small and brown and look really similar to other frogs.

Their lifestyle is completely fascinating. These frogs live in the dark, humid leaf litter of the forests，    9    is like a secret world. Scientists don’t really know anything about what goes on there. They don’t understand their    10    ( behave), how they socialize or how they breed.

In Africa, the honeyguide birds can respond to human calls to lead people to honey—what scientists describe as a mutualistic interaction,   or one that benefits both creatures. The birds tweet and fly from tree to tree to guide honey seekers to hidden bee nests, typically inside trees. Then, humans open the trees to find honey, and the birds can dine on beeswax, their favorite food.
Dogs have an excellent sense of smell, which is why the folks at Penn Vet Working Dog Center are training dogs to identify the smell of cancer using tissue and blood samples from people who suffer. The scientists hope to develop a way for dogs to screen samples first, then perform follow-up testing on the samples the dogs flagged—a system for spotting cancer in its early stages.
Having a snake wrapped around your neck isn’t necessarily what you usually expect. But Monty, a 13-year-old snake has been helping customers relax with neck massages(按摩). It’s unlikely he was trained to do the job and is just pulsating like any other snake would when   around a person’s neck. Regardless, this special snake books out a few weeks in advance.
The Guide Horse Foundation has been training miniature horses (those standing 34 inches or less) as assistance animals for the visually damaged since 1999. Miniature horses are ideal service animals for people who feel uncomfortable with dogs or who want a guide animal with a longer life span. The horses typically live from 30 to 40 years.
