　　Terms considered proper for a group or phenomenon seem to change every generation or so. The term crippled, for example, sounds abusive today, 　36　 it was once considered civil by educated, sensitive people. Crippled began as a（n）　37　 term. However, a sad reality of human society is that there are negative associations and even dismissal harbored 　38　 those with disabilities. Crippled thus became accreted with those overtones to the point that handicapped was fashioned as a replacement term 　39　 from such baggage. Similarly, because humans stayed human, handicapped, later 　40　 shades of abuse, also conditioned another replacement like disabled. Such a（n）periodic semantic renewal is an inevitable and healthy process.

　　Have you been caught up in a swarm of flying ants? And is there really a special "flying ant day"? Read on to discover more...
1.Flying ants are just normal ants - with wings! The ants we are most used to seeing are female black garden ants, marching around collecting food. But during summer, winged males and new queens of the same species take flight!
2.They fly to set up new ant colonies. The ants take to the skies so that queens can mate with males from different colonies, and set up new nests of their own.
3.They only swarm during hot summer weather. For a swarm of ants to occur, conditions must be just right - they are usually triggered by hot and humid weather in July or August.
4."Flying ant day" is a myth. Because so many ants appear in the same place at the same time, the phenomenon is often known as "flying ant day" - but it's really more of a short flying ant season. Depending on weather, the winged insects may appear in different parts of the country any time between June and September.
5.They're harmless. These flying beasties might be super annoying, but they won't hurt you. Plus they provide loads of extra food for hungry birds!
6.Female flying ants are bigger than males. Brave enough to take a closer look? You'll see that some of the winged ants are much larger than others. The bigger ones are the queens - they're up to 15mm in length.
7.Queens bite their own wings off! After mating, queens chew off their wings and crawl around looking for a place to dig a new nest. Look out for their discarded wings on the floor!
8.Flying ants are also called alates, the name given to the winged form of many insects.

　　This month Cupid takes flight because love is in the air. And this year it smells like grease and salt. A perfume that smells like French fries has proven to be as irresistible as the fast-food staple after selling out almost instantly. The Idaho Potato Commission（IPC）released the limited-edition fragrance - "Frites by Idaho" - just in time for Valentine's Day, and fans couldn't wait to get their hands on a bottle. Frites by Idaho is manufactured using distilled homegrown potatoes and essential oils. Whether you and your valentine are planning to have a quiet dinner at home or will be heading out for a fancy meal on that most romantic of days, you can make sure you crave fast food the entire time with Frites by Idaho.
　　Sure this sounds silly, but think of all the words and feelings you associate with both perfume and French fries: desire, alluring, intoxicating, irresistible, tasty. Okay, maybe not that last one, but you get the idea. The great state of Idaho isn't taking its novelty fragrance too seriously, either. The 1.7 fluid ounce bottle was available for the same price as a side of fries, just US$1.89. Unfortunately, that's also why it sold out immediately on the IPC website. But don't give up hope just yet, French fry romantics. You can enter a contest to win one of 10 bottles the state is giving away for free. Just head to the Idaho Potato Instagram page for how to enter.
　　Even if you don't end up nabbing one, we have an idea. Just rub some French fries on your neck before your loved one shows up. Just remember to make sure you let your fries cool down before you do that. Things are heating up this month, but hopefully not because of second degree burns.
