Isaid it enough performed it enough—that I even fooled myself. I believed that I was okay.But pain doesn’t just “go away”—that whole “time heals”thing is a total crock. 30 years after myfather died, when I looked around for an explanation for all the years ofdestructive behavior, I couldn’t find the root of the pain in my life because Ihad covered it up so well. All the “I’m fine”—- 30 years of them- buried the pain of that nine years old girl.Her pain had been trying to come out, to be heard, to be healed.And, finally, it was.After years of treatment, I found my way back to that night where the painstarted, back to the tsunami.

Butits great popularity can be largely due to the Canadian bandleader Guy Lombardo.In 1965, he explained how he himself came to associate the song with theend of the year to Life Magazine:“Auld Lang Syne is our theme song—and was long before anyone ever heard us on the radio.

They foundthat populations of this dragonfly, called Pantala flavescens, in Texas, easternCanada, Japan, Korea, India, and South America, have genes so similar thatthere is only one likely explanation. Apparently- somehow- these insects aretraveling distances that are extraordinarily long for their small size, breeding(繁殖)with each other, and creating a common worldwidegene pool.But how do insects from different continents manage to meet and hook up?Ware says it appears to be the way their bodies have evolved. “Thesedragonflies have adaptations such as increased surface areas on their wingsthat enable them to use the wind to carry them.”Dragonflies, in fact, have already been observed crossing the Indian Oceanfrom Asia to Africa. “They are following the weather,” says Daniel Troast, whoanalyzed the DNA samples in Ware’s lab. “They’re going from India where it’sdry season to Africa where it’s wet season, and apparently they do it once ayear.”Wetness is a must for Pantala to reproduce, and that, says Ware, is whythese insects would be driven to even attempt such a dangerous trip,which shecalls a “kind of suicide.” The species depends on it. While many willdie on the route, as long as enough make it, the species survives.For the moment, the details of this extraordinary insect travel are aneducated best guess. Much more work is needed to bring many loose ends together.Ware and Troast hope that scientists can work on plotting those routes.What proves Pantala flavescens are the world’s longest-distance flyers?A. Scientists have tracked the dragonfly across the world.B. There are many Pantala flavescens in various continents.C. The same dragonfly was found both in Asia and America.D.
