Second week's journal


I read " The Trick to the Archer Fish’s Powerful Attack" in this weekend.

Sorce : http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/30/science/the-technique-behind-an-archer-fishs-powerful-attack.html?ref=science

This article is about how to capture archer fish's prey. They usually capture their prey by using their unique power. According to this article, they spit out powerful jet water, and then they can drop their prey such as insects from a branch. It becomes their dinner. And they can change speed of thire jet water, so they can certainly get their prey. This large drop of water is able to hit and knock down prey with incredible force.

vocablaries:

1. capure (verb):to catch someone or something after chasing or following it.

2. stream (noun):a natural flow of water that moves across the land and narrower thatn a river.

3. modulate (verb):to change the form
