Light gets through, and this is (68) for plants to make the food (69) we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays (70) through the air from outer space, (71) enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are (72) off.

A (38) that I know went abroad last summer. They traveled with a tour group. It’s interesting to (39) their experiences with some of the experiences of other people in the same tour group. My friends, (40) , had some acquaintances, or friends, actually, along the (41) of their tour.
