Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words
Hamams, or bath houses, are a traditional part of Turkish (土耳其的) culture. They represent an important piece of Turkey's long history and serve as a window into the past. However, these bath houses are quickly d1. because of the changing habits of the Turkish people.
Hamams hold a strong place in the history of Turkey and many date back hundreds of years. Traditionally, all kinds of people went 10 hamams because Islam has strict laws for cleanliness. Believers must w2.themselves regularly, especially before their daily prayers (祷告): As most people in Turkey didn't have running water in their homes, the Hamam was the perfect place to get clean, r3. and catch up with friends.
Today, h 4., the tradition of going to the hamam is dying out for many young people. Now almost everyone has running water in their bathrooms, so they prefer to bathe at home. As a r5., Turkish people are not going to hamams as often as they used to. These days, instead of relying on locals, many hamams are trying to attract f6.tourists
A typical process at a hamam can last well over an hour. Visitors will be welcomed into entrance hall. There they will be able to relax with friends and chat over a cup of tea. They will also be able to change into the Turkish towel, which wraps around the waist like a skirt. When ready, visitors will head into the hot room. There they will lie on the hot floor and be scrubbed clean and massaged by one of the in-house masseurs or masseuses. Men and women always bathe separately (分开地)，but their experiences are very s7.
Although many hamams are in danger of closing, they will always remain a part of Turkish culture. An experience in one of Istanbul' s famous bath houses should not be missed on any visit to Turkey. It will certainly leave you refreshed, relaxed, and squeaky clean for your next adventure.

Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a change in number. Human beings are born with this ability. ______________, experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest (巢) has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will notice. However, if you remove two, the bird generally leaves. This means that the bird ______________the difference between two and three.
Another interesting experiment showed a bird's______________number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow (乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not______________ until the man left the tower. The man had an idea. He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they weren't successful in fooling the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was_______________with three men and then with four men. It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they finally managed to take a photo.
How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old______________ notice if something is taken away from a small group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are often very confused.
It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human ability is not much better than a crow's.

If you're planning on buying a small pet for your kids or family or are looking for a pet that is cute, friendly and fun, then you should consider a sugar glider (蜜袋鼯). It lives in Australia, Indonesia, New Guinea and Tasmania.
Sugar gliders are known by this name because they are fond of sweet food. Sugar gliders are also known as “pocket pets” because they're small in size and they like being carried in pockets. That is why many sugar glider owners keep these animals in their pockets to carry them wherever they go.
Sugar gliders are covered with the patagium (翼膜)，which looks like a parachute (降落伞) when they spread out their hands and feet, making them move in the air. Another attractive feature of sugar gliders is that they have big toes (脚趾) on their back which help make them stay on the tree.
It's known that sugar gliders are extremely lovable and social. This is why these pets get along well with their owners and their families. If you don't spend much time at home, the best idea is to keep another sugar glider pet. Sugar gliders aren't like other pets that can get used to anywhere in the house. They need a special and large area to live. So, you should get a comfortable and big space for your special pet.
The average lifespan（寿命）of sugar gliders is around 12 to 15 years. They' reactive pets that love to jump and glide. But the owner has to give enough care and love to them in order to keep them healthy. Sugar gliders are wonderful pets to keep. They're fun to watch and play with.
