“What can you do when you have done____________ but mess up(搞砸) your whole life long?” These were the words I heard when I turned on the TV the other day. They were coming from one of the talk shows that are so popular on TV these days. I started to turn the channel but the words I had heard made me stop for a moment. I looked at the speaker of them. He ____________ more than 18 years old, but already he was writing off (認(rèn)為……已失敗) his life as a useless waste.

I wanted to shout at him:" You're not dead yet!"

It is so sad that so many people cannot ____________ their pasts and live in the present. There are so many people like that talk show guest. There are people still in their teen years thinking that their lives are over. There are people in their twenties who already think they have missed the boat to success and happiness. There are people in their thirties and forties who sit around complaining that life has passed them by. I want to shout to them all:" Wake up! You're still____________! What have you done today?" If you want a happy life, you can't just think about your past mistakes. If you want joy and love in your life, you have to choose them today.

Winter is cold and it can be difficult for animals to find food during winter. They get through winter in many ways.

Would you like to go to a warm place for the winter? That’s what migratory (遷徙的) animals do. When the weather starts to get cold, migratory animals like some birds and butterflies fly to a warmer place, and then they come back in spring.

Another good way to get through winter is to sleep through it. Many animals hide and sleep during the winter. Their body temperature drops and hearts beat more slowly. This helps them to save their energy. They do not eat. They live off their fat. They wake up when the weather gets warmer. We call this hibernation (冬眠). Snakes, frogs and bears hibernate in winter.

Many animals stay active in winter and adapt to (適應(yīng)) the cold weather. Some animals save food in summer and autumn and eat it in winter. This is what squirrels do. Other animals make changes in their bodies or behavior (行為). To keep warm, some animals grow thicker coats in winter. Some animals eat different kinds of food as the seasons change. The red fox eats fruit and insects in the other three seasons, but eats small rodents (嚙齒類動物) in winter. Other animals change colour. The arctic (北極的) fox is brown in summer. Its coat turns white in winter.

How do you live through the winter? Do you wear a thick coat? Do you stay inside? Or do you live in a warm place?

根據(jù)上面短文的內(nèi)容完成下列各句。

1.____________ animals like some birds and butterflies go to warmer places when the weather starts to get cold, and they come back ____________.

2.Some animals sleep through the winter without eating because they can live off their ____________. Their body temperature drops and this helps them to ____________.
