Bring back the Woolly Mammoth?

Scientists estimate that throughout the course of Earth's history, more than a billion different species of animals and insects ___________ 20 (exist). Today, there are only about 30-50 million species left, according to the World Animal Foundation. That means that for every species living on Earth today, 20 more are already extinct. Scientists study extinct species to get a better understanding of the past. In addition to studying what these species might have been like when they ________ 21 (be) alive, some scientists __________ 22 (interest) in the possibility of seeing some of them walk the Earth again.

There are a number of serious __________ 23 (proposal) to try to revive extinct species. Some animals on this list include: the woolly mammoth (an elephant-like creature that _________ 24 (wander) the plains of Siberia), the moa (a giant flightless bird from New Zealand), the thylacine (also ________ 25 (know) as the Tasmanian tiger because of the dark stripes down its back), and the bucardo (a mountain goat from Spain). These animals had very little in common and in most cases lived eras apart. The woolly mammoth, for example, __________ 26 (die) many thousands of years ago while the bucardo ________ 27 (become) extinct only around the year 2000. But all these species lived at the same time as humans, and humans have been largely responsible for their destruction. So it seems somehow fitting that we _________ 28 (think) of reviving them now.

Monsoon season

In most parts of the world, storm clouds would be greeted with a frown. But in India, it's said that when the monsoon rains come, a billion people smile. Monsoon season, also known as the __________ 29 (rain) season, is closely tied to India's economy. The abundant rains bring life to India's farmland, which provides hundreds of millions of jobs to farm __________ 30 (work) and helps feed its vast population.

While monsoon season is traditionally a _________ 31 (joy) and important time for _________ 32 (India) agriculture, it affects the tourism industry in a very different way. During this time, the number of _________ 33 (travel) to India can drop by half. ___________ 34 (Understand), very few tourists want to spend their holiday in the rain. But there has been a government push over the last few years to convince them otherwise: that India's rain is to be celebrated and not shunned. "Watching the rains is one of the best sightseeing options I can imagine," says journalist Somini Sengupta, a Calcutta native.
