But unless they are hurt or angered, water buffaloes are probably the gentlest farm animals

17、in the world. Though they look scary, they are much like household pets. Unlike cattle（黄牛）, they are quiet and have a natural fondness for humans.Water buffaloes are so patient and gentle that there is no need to control them during milking. Because of the animals calm nature, water buffaloes almost

18、 never have their horns(角) taken off. However, most cattle which are raised for their milk will have their horns taken off, when they are young.

19、y love to roll in muddy water, water buffaloes usually live and have babies in situations where there is not enough water to do this.

20、rms on their skin protects them from insects and parasites(寄生虫).Another untrue belief about water buffaloes is that they can live only in tropical (热带的)areas.

24、people call them. Songs that get stuck in your head go round and round, sometimes for days, sometimes for months. For no clear reason you cannot help yourself from humming or singing a tune by Lady Gaga.To a psychologist, the most interesting thing about earworms is that they show a part of our mind

25、 that is clearly outside of our control. Earworms arrive without permission and refuse to leave when we tell them to.

Much better is to employ the inner ear in another task. I
