Move as Millions，Survive as One
Great white sharks in the Pacific Ocean．Wildebeest in Africa．Arctic terns in the Atlantic．At first，these animals seem completely different．One swims，one walks，and the other flies．But they all have one thing in common．They all migrate．
Some migrating groups move to a place with a better temperature．Some go to find food or wather．The groups travel as one，trying to survive（生存）．During the trip，they face many different challenges．One challenge is distance．Some migrating animals take very long trips．They go far away from their home areas．For example，one great white shark swam from Australia to South African and back．In nine months，it swam about 20，000 kilometers．
Another chanllenge is finding enough food and water during the journey．For example，each Malielephant needs over 200 liters of water each day．To get this，they need to go from one waterhole to another．
In addition，migrating animals have to avoid other animals that want to eat them．For example，the zebra has to stay away from lions．Traveling as a group helps keep them safe．All the zebras in the group can watch for danger．When one zebra is in trouble，the other members make a circle around it．
By working as a group，migrating animals can survive some of the world's most extraordinary journeys．

A city without cars would be very strange，right？But Venice is such a city．
Venice is in the northeast of Italy．It wasn't built on land，like Beijing or Shanghai，but on more than 110islands．Seawater is everywhere around the city．
Even so，travel isn't difficult．The waterways have always been the best way to get around．There are 117waterways and more than 400bridges that can guide you where you want to go．People in Venice move from place to place by boat．
Water makes the city special，but it is also a big problem．Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences．One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge，and there's nothing special．But when they come back to the bridge an hour later，it's underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes．
Once，people used too much underground water．This made the city get lower little by little．Now the city has gone down by 23centimeters．Another problem is the rising seawater．The temperature has risen over the years．This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean （北冰洋） melt（ 融化）．Every year，high waters hit the city in autumn and winter．When a lot of water comes，more than half of the city is underwater．
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower．The Italian government has asked some of Italy's biggest companies to build the MOST project，which was planned to be build under the seawater to stop the rising water．Anyway，this project is helping solve the problem．

When we exercise hard，we burn fat （脂肪）．But have you ever wondered where exactly the fat goes？
Some doctors think that fat is changed into heat and given off in the air．Others think the body burns it．Some even joke that someone comes and takes it．That's why you always weigh less in the morning．
Now a new study from Australia solves the mystery．
"The correct answer is that most of the fat is breathed out as CO2．It goes into thin air，"says the study．
Scientists followed the atoms （原子）in 10 kilograms of fat as they are lost．They found that 8.4 of those kilograms are breathed out as CO2 through the lungs （肺）．The other weight，1.6 kilograms，becomes water and leaves the body．
"None of this is easy to understand because we can't see the CO2 we breathe out，said the study's lead expert．
Does that mean you can lose more weight by breathing more？It is not as easy as you think．Breathing more than the body's metabolic rate （新陈代谢速度）can make you uncomfortable．You may feel dizzy （眩晕的）and become unable to see，move or feel，according to the study．
So how can people lose weight healthily？The key is to eat less and move more．You may have heard this many times．During a day．a 70kg person breathes out about 200g of CO2．So if the same person wants to lose weight，he or she can do some light exercise，for example，walking fast．This can help lose 24Og of CO2．

I'm Jenny．Nothing is cuter than my dog，Marley．He sleeps near my bed at night and gives me kisses every morning．He gets sad when I leave for school．But he's always there waiting when I get home，ready to go for a walk or play a game．

That night，I didn't sleep well．My cat seemed to know I was sad and hugged （拥抱）me to make me feel better．On Christmas morning，I woke up and called for Marley．Then I remembered that he had gone．
Even though it was Christmas，I didn't want presents．I didn't want anything，except my friend．

For people，it's not surprising that we can open a door，lift a heavy box and control our while walking in the snow．But can a robot do this？Well，Google's new robot，Atlas，can not only do this？Well，Google's new robot，Atlas，can not only do these things，but it can also stand up if fall down．Although the robot may be slow and clumsy，it was created mainly to work in dangerous places for humans．
Now，robots are much smarter than you might imagine．On March 9this year，Alpha Go，an artificial intelligence（AI，人工智能）program made by Google's Deep Mind，challenged top professional Go player Lee Se﹣dol from South Korea．And Alpha Go bear Lee 41．
AI is when computers or computer software are able to have intelligent behavior，such as thinking or acting like a human，In our daily lives，we already use AI in many ways，like Apple's Siri and search engines Baidu and Google．
Some People may worry whether computers are now smart enough to beat us at everything．But experts say that the case．Real life problems can be more difficult than the Go game．For example，humans can watch a person throw down a cup of coffee and know that the result will be a mess on the floor．A computer program would have to know the size of the cup，the height of the cup from floor and many other things to find out the result．But we never know what will happen in the future．

Fraser Island is in Queensland，Australia，about 200 kilometers north of Brisbane．It is about 120kilometers long and 240 kilometers wide．It is a very important island because it is completely made of sand．In fact，it is the largest sand island in the world．There is no airport on the island，but there is a long beach along the east coast．Planes arrive and leave from here．
The sand makes unusual shapes．There are hills made of sand called sandblows．Nothing grows on them．They move one or two meters a year from the northwest towards the southeast of the island，getting bigger and bigger．At other places on the island，such as Rainbow Gorge，The Cathedrals and Red Canyon，the sandy rocks have different colors．Sometimes the rocks are so brown that they turn the sea brown，like coffee．
Surprisingly，the sandy island has a lot of different plants and animals．There are dark forests﹣eucalyptus woods，beautiful flowers and over a hundred lakes．There are many kinds of birds，like owls and curlews．There are many animals there，too，such as crocodiles，flying foxes and wild dogs called dingoes．
About 500，000 people visit the island every year to see the island's beauty and nature．People enjoy camping and hiking（徒步）there．Unluckily，the visitors create problems．They damage plants and frighten animals．Their sun cream（防晒霜）makes the water dirty．So it is necessary to manage the visitors．For example，people may not use motor boats or go fishing in the lakes，and they need official papers to drive there．

D．Different Monkeys．
I arrived in the UK last weekend to learn English．So far I have already made a few friends and had some traditional English food there．But after having three days of hamburgers，sandwiches and potatoes，I thought none could be more delicious than Chinese food，especially my favorite﹣huo guo．You can't imagine how excited I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students．On the way to the canteen，I seemed to smell huo guo in the air．
To my surprise，when I stepped into the room，I didn't see any sign of huo guo．Where was it？
With many questions in my head，I sat down to have the free meal．After talking with an English girl，I got to know that Chinese huo guo is completely different from hotpot．Chinese huo guo is written in two words﹣hot pot； and hotpot，one word，is a traditional English dish．
Hotpot is made from mutton and onion．On the top are pieces of potatoes．People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot on a low heat．It takes very little effort to prepare．You can often see it at parties in the UK because it's easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive．
Hotpot doesn't taste bad．However，I still miss huo guo﹣hot pot，two words!
