[00:13]male

[00:14]Being a male has always been dangerous. There are about 105 males born

[00:21]for every 100 females, but this ratio drops to near balance at the age of

[00:28]maturity, and among 70-year-olds there are twice as many women as men.

[00:36]whale

[00:38.11]You might be swallowed by a whale and find yourself sitting in its belly

[00:42.94]and bleached white by its gastric juices, like the sailor who tumbled overboard

[00:47.97]from his ship and was found by his crew inside the whale's stomach

[00:55.38]inhale

[00:56.91]When animals breathe they exhale carbon dioxide, which is a waste product

[01:03.69]of animal energy use, and inhale the oxygen they need to create energy.

[01:12.05]The oxygen, of course, comes mostly from plants.

[01:19.43]If ambition is to be well regarded, the rewards of ambition-wealth,

[01:26.13]distinction, control over one's destiny must be deemed worthy of the

[01:32.70]sacrifices made on ambition's behalf.

[01:38.62]esteem

[01:40.57]Back in 1993, voters focused much of their anger at Democrats,

[01:47.39]holding Republicans in much higher esteem. That's not the case today.

[01:53.85]Recent polls show the disapproval rating for congressional Republicans

[01:59.78]on average exceeds 60 percent.

[02:08.09]A: I remember there is a column called Mosaic on the VOA site.
