More than 70 percent of king penguins could 【1】 (wipe) out by rising ocean temperatures, according to a recent survey.

Their total population of 1.6 million today could be reduced by more than 1.1 million by 2100.【2】, many people are optimistic because these statistics show that the birds are not endangered at present. Rated as 'of least concern', they occupy the lowest category of extinction risk.

But that could change as their fish 【3】 (supply) move further into the Southern Ocean, where there is only a 【4】 (hand) of islands to provide a home for the birds.

King penguins require remote islands 【5】 are not too cold, have no winter sea ice and no fierce animals. If they have to swim more than 435 miles on 【6】 round trip to hunt for fish, their waiting children can starve to death as their fat reserves become steadily 【7】 (few). It can take a parent three months 【8】 (deliver) fish to its young.

The scientists, from the University of Strasbourg in France, whose study 【9】 (publish) in the journal Nature Climate Change so far, warn that the effects of fish population moving further south could give rise 【10】 a large population crash of the penguins.

Dear Peter,

I am Li Jin, the chairman of the Students’ Union.

Look forward to seeing you soon.

Yours,

Li Hua listens to her teachers 【2】 (attentive) and asks her teacher 【3】 help as soon as possible if she has some problems. Because of this, she spends less time 【4】 (do) her homework, so it is 【5】 (certainly) that she can keep energetic in the day. However, Wang Hai has quite a 【6】 (difference) way of learning 【7】 (compare) to Li Hua. He likes to sit up late at night doing his homework, so he often feels sleepy in class. As a result, he misses lots of key points, 【8】 makes it difficult for him 【9】 (concentrate) on what he is doing.

In my opinion, Li Hua learns more effectively in class and has more free time to enjoy herself. So I prefer 【10】 (she) learning method.

A public school in Quechee, Vermont is taking it seriously and fighting against indoor-centric (中心的) childhoods. Eliza Minnucci’s kindergarten class there engages (參與) in Forest Mondays, during which the students spend the whole day in the woods. It’s modeled after the Forest Kindergarten in Switzerland, which is all outside all the time. The idea that’s shared across the school is to let kids learn lessons from the natural world.

So what have the results been? Mostly good.

I taught kids aged 4 through middle school. While I had some basic ideas to teach, it was mostly kids’ natural interest that drove much of what we did.

They wanted to know the names of birds and plants (biology). We created something with wood and stones (physics and teamwork). We even made up stories about ants and butterflies (language, organizing information and creativity). For the older kids, we had much clearer lesson plans, but we were still outside the whole time, and we would often suddenly start talking about a completely new subject if something interesting was happening. So the learning experience was always fresh.

On top of learning and moving around freely instead of sitting at desks, the kids were having fun while they learned, which made them excited for the next lesson. Shouldn’t that be the goal of all education?

Perhaps Vermont’s kindergarten program is an example of breaking away from the test-centric educational method. While some parents are taking their kids out hiking on the weekend or stopping their use of electronic media, teachers are bringing some of that same thinking to their classrooms.

Considering all the good evidence that being outside is great for mind and body ---as well as test scores---it seems like this kind of education is a natural next step for teachers.

It wasn’t early summer: it was February. And the entire developed world has been attacking the global ecosystem (全球生態(tài)系統(tǒng)) for many years, and that’s how we go into this pickle.

We should try to hold on to this fact that this is not supposed to be happening. Less than a month ago, there was a video of extreme ( 極 端 的 ) cold weather coming out of Chicago. Water poured from cups immediately froze on its way to the ground. OK, that was on the other side of the world, and its temperature was- 11℃ then.

On Monday, though, the temperature hit 20.3℃ in Ceredigion, West Wales: the highest February temperature ever recorded in Britain and the first time the temperature had reached 20℃ in winter.

This isn’t good, is it? The 10 hottest years on record have all happened within the past 20 years, the five hottest were the last five. Yet the beaches and the beer gardens fill up, while the papers describe the weather as wonderful. There were those who gave in to the heat wave a little too easily. They let themselves forget it was winter and found themselves, when the sun went down and the temperature dropped, suddenly shaking and unprepared for the cold. It feels uncomfortably like a symbol.

A.To introduce a beautiful summer.

B.To encourage kids to play outside.

C.To share his daily activities with us.

D.To describe the scene of a warm winter.

B.To attract more people to Chicago.

C.To show it is well-known for an online video.

D.To encourage more people to post videos online.

B.The author worries about global warming.

C.The papers misled the public in weather reports.

D.The papers asked the public to prepare for the cold.

Brad Ryan had been feeling tired of studying in a vet school when he visited his 85-year-old grandma in 2015. He hoped that spending some quality family time would help lift his spirits.

As he was telling his grandma stories of his travels, however, he was heartbroken to hear that she had never seen the ocean or mountains. Ryan then asked his grandmother if she would like to go hiking with him. Needless to say, she was more than happy to agree.

They have since visited 29 different national parks across America---from the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado to the Acadia National Park in Maine. Over the four years, Ryan and his grandma have driven 25,000 miles through 38 states. And it has greatly affected his quality of life. “Seeing it through my grandmother’s eyes, who every morning wakes up and is thankful to be alive has taught me how to live,” Ryan said. “With her, I’ve had to slow down and see life in a different way, which has made it a lot richer.”

“I love my grandma so much, and it’s just really giving me a lot of peace when she passed away. I can go back to these places, feel her spirit, and feel connected to her,” he added.

Ryan posted all of their trips on Facebook. He hopes more young people will spare time to be with their elders. “I want young people to know that hanging out with your grandparents is cool. And there’s so much we can learn from our elders,” Ryan said.
