Suppose you're floating on a big piece of ice. Ice water is all around you. To find food, you have to swim in the cold water. Can you survive? Of course you can , if you're a polar bear!
How does a polar bear stay warm? Its large body can hold a lot of heat. The polar bear's long nose warms and moistens the cold, dry air before it reaches its lungs(肺). The polar bear's tail and ears are short and close to its body. This keeps the polar bear from losing too much heat. What's
more, a polar bear has a thick fur coat and it keeps it from losing heat.
What's for dinner? Seals! Seals swim in water that is covered with ice. They must come to the surface to breathe. When a seal comes to the surface to breathe, it's a chance for polar bears to catch it.
A polar bear depends on its long, sensitive nose for hunting. It can detect a seal's breathing nose in cold from as far as a kilometer away. When the polar bear finds a hole in the ice, it lies down next to it and waits, sometimes for hours. When a seal comes up for air, the polar bear catches the seal with its sharp claws and teeth. That's how the polar bear gets its dinner!

A. 使暖和

There was once a famous scientist who made several important discoveries. Once he was asked how he was able to be so creative. He replied that it all came from an experience he had with his mother when he was 2 years old. He was trying to take a bottle of milk out of the fridge. But the bottle was too slippery (滑的) and he dropped it. The kitchen floor was covered in milk.
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him or punishing him, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have never seen such a huge puddle of milk. Would you like to play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"
So he did. After a few minutes, they cleaned it up together. Then his mother said, "This was a failed experiment in how to carry a big bottle of milk with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can find a way to carry it without dropping it."
The little boy learned that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!
The scientist then added that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes. He learned that mistakes are just opportunities (机会) to learn something new –which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment doesn't "work",
we can still learn something valuable from it.
38. How did Robert make a mess on the kitchen floor ?
A. By doing an experiment.
B. By drinking a bottle of milk.
C. By throwing bottles around .
D. By dropping a bottle of milk.
39. What did Robert's mother do after he made the mess?

B. She shouted at him and punished him.

D. She showed him a huge puddle of milk.

C. Careful.
D. Protective.
41. What does the writer try to express with this story?
A. To tell readers how much he loved his mother.
B. To suggest that we should treat life as a big experiment.
C. To show that scientific discoveries come from everyday life.
D. To tell readers that they should keep an open mind about mistakes.

Lindy Tse will never forget the night her parents brought her back to the United States from Fujian Province when she was 4 years old. She cried silently throughout the journey because she missed her grandmother, who raised her in China.
Tse was a "satellite baby". Such babies are born in the US to Chinese immigrant(移民) parents and sent to China as little babies and raised by relatives — normally grandparents. When they are 5 or 6, they are then returned to the US to start school. Parents do this for different reasons. They often work long hours every day and can't afford child care, which costs from $11,700 to $ 14,144 a year in New Y
ork. They also want to send their children to China for cultural reasons. On her return, it took Tse a year before she spoke to her father. Now 17, she said, "I think it was because we had both lost four years that could have been important to our relationship." She speaks only English now and has forgotten most of her early childhood spent in a small village with her grandmother. She still feels not close to her parents. "I just don't know how to show my feelings to them," she said.
The term "satellite babies" was invented by Yvonne Bohr, a clinical psychologist(临床心理学家) at York University in Toronto, Canada, who has been studying such separations since 2006. "Babies are often sent away at around the time they have just become fond of their parents. As a result, they may experience great pain and sorrow during this separation," Bohr said. "When they return, the parents in turn may expect the children to be very happy to be home, often not understanding that for the child, this isn't home," she said.
Research suggests that this way of raising a child can affect a child's environment which can lead to depression, anxiety and misbehavior at school. Studies show that the shock and pain experienced by both children and parents can last a lifetime.
