Daily Telegraph - An enormous number of sardines （沙丁鱼） have been photographed as they swam in the formation of a dolphin （海豚）．Steve De Neef photographed the fish near Cebu in the Philippines grouping together to protect themselves from larger animals．He said: "Getting the picture of the dolphin shape was just about being in the right spot at the right time, but it would be to their benefit if they could imitate （模仿） a larger animal．"

BBC - Researchers in the United States have developed the first wirelessly controlled device （装置） that can supply a drug directly into the body．A small chip is implanted under the skin．It contains the medicine, which it releases at programmed times．The developers say the device could improve the lives of millions of people who take medicine for long-term illnesses and may one day free patients from having to remember to take their medicine, or give themselves injections．

VOA - Global warming could make humans shorter, warn scientists who claim to have found evidence that it caused the world's first horses to shrink nearly 50 million years ago．As temperatures went up their size went down, and vice versa （反之亦然）; at one point they were as small as a house cat．The scientists say that the current warming could have the same effect on mammals, and even humans．
