听力原文：W: How did you become a bike messenger？
M: My brother was a bike messenger and he broke his finger. I was working as a security guard and his bike and his bag and his lock were sitting there and I was like," Oh, let me try", because I wasn't having fun as a security guard. So I tried it and ended up liking it.
W: Do you know how many messengers work in New York？
M: I heard it's something like 3000. Some people say more. Just bicycle messengers sending packages, maybe like 1500. But if you count food delivery, it's like 5000 or more. A lot of people in New York do it as a regular job. I know people who have families and everything.
W: How can one become a messenger？ There are big and small companies？ Basically you just go there and register？
M: You don't really register, you just get a job. Some companies, you need to give them your social security number for taxes and stuff. Some companies, they don't even ask your last name. I think it's one of the only jobs that doesn't check your record, I mean, a lot of people we work with could've been in jail before.

听力原文： Why don't birds get lost on their long flights from one place to another？ Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now they are beginning to fill in the blanks.
Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly by night？ Tests with artificial stars have proved that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.
A dove had spent his lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird's cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the artificial stars caused a change in the direction of his flight.
But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. When the stars are hidden by clouds, they apparently find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it's too dark to see these, the doves circle helplessly, unable to find their way.
The reason why birds don't get lost on long flights ______.
