n and fights climate change. Bird Friendly coffees are also certified organic, meaning they are grown without pesticides, which is better for people and for the planet. Bird Friendly producers can also earn more for their crops. The wood and fruit trees on shade coffee farms provide farmers with additional ine. Every cup of Bird Friendly coffee purchased rewards these farmers with a little more money for being good stewards of the environment and encourages them to continue conserving Bird Friendly habitat. Buying Bird Friendly supports the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center39。s conservation research aimed at understanding and protecting your feathered friends. You can purchase Bird Friendly certified coffees around the world and protect wildlife and habitat with every cup.

The Earth isn39。t flat. Nope, your hair and nails don39。t grow after you die. The holes at the top of Bic biro pens are there so that, if you swallow one accidentally, you can still breathe and won39。t choke to death. It39。s debatable whether that last one there is mon knowledge or not. A quick Google search of the fact, rewritten as a question, shows articles addressing this point going back several years, with the latest (re)appearing just this week over on ScienceAlert. We suppose it39。s one of those things that e up from time to time, like what would happen if you attack Yellowstone with a nuclear weapon (not much, as it turns out). If you jump over to Bic39。s website, under their FAQs (frequently asked questions), it quite clearly states: The reason that some BIC174。 pens have a hole in their cap is to prevent the cap from pletely obstructing the airway if accidentally breathed in. This is requested by the international safety standards ISO11540, except for in cases where the cap is considered too large to be a choking risk. That39。s rather lovely of them. In appreciation of their want to not kill off their more clumsy customers, we thought we39。d share a few more random facts about Bic that are probably going to e up in a pub quiz one day. Did you know, for example, that each Bic ballpoint pen can produce at least 2 kilometers ( miles) of ink before it begins to run out? In fact, in 2018, 7,250 kilometers (4,505 miles) of writing tests on such pens were carried out on ballpoint pens, gel pens(中性筆), and rollers to make sure they worked to the highest standard. The best part of the Bic site, however, is this rather curious fact: 100 percent of pen balls are made through a highlycontrolled process. As opposed to a highly uncontrolled process, involving explosions and bouncy castles and total chaos, we suppose.(1)Why does the author mention the case of Yellowstone? A.To list the facts.B.To prove his point.C.To pare the two situations.D.To emphasize the importance of safety.(2)What does the underlined word obstructing in paragraph 2 mean?
