Practice Listening: Fill in the Blanks (Type In) ID: #34866 Short Counterintuitive Findings
Instructions
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
To  figure  out  these  counterintuitive  findings,  the  researchers  conducted  an  experiment  in  a  hotel  room.  They  rounded  up  some  lizards,  gave  them  a  perch,  and  used  a  leaf  blower  to    the  effects  of  high  winds.  They  set  up  a  net  to  catch  any  lizards  that  lost  their  grip.  As  the  artificial  wind  blew,  the  lizards    so  the  perch  took  most  of  the  air  flow.  But  their  hind  legs  would  stick  out,  and  if  those    limbs  stuck  out  too  far,  they  acted  as  sails.  "Eventually  those  back  legs  were  blown  off  the  perch,  and  the  lizards  were  just  holding  on  with  their  front  two  legs.  And  they  could  only  hold  on  like  that  for  so  long  as  the  wind  speed    further  and  further,  until  eventually  they  were  blown  off  the  perch  and  into  the    so  shorter  back  legs  gave  a    advantage.  A  trait  that  might  be  passed  on  to  the  next  lizard  generation.
