Most polar（北极）bears could disappear by the end of the century because of global（全球）warming, scientists say.

According to a study in Nature Climate（气候）Change, the number of most polar bears will_ 21_rapidly by 2080. There are two reasons. One is that the sea ice is melting（融化）. Polar bears catch seals（海豹）to eat on the ice. 22ice, they have to stay on land. But there is no_ 23food on land to support so many bears. The animals could die from hunger. The other reason is that mother bears may not be fat enough to _ 24milk for their babies, so some bears could stop having babies.

Polar bears are_ 25_land animals that eat meat on the planet. They help control other kinds of animals. Losing them would break the balance of their living place.

The Arctic（北冰洋）is the_ _26_to about 25, 000 polar bears. Arctic sea ice usually melts in spring and summer, then grows in winter. But now, the 27is taking longer to grow back. Scientists say the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planets.

The study also shows 28it is possible to slow Arctic melting. Greenhouse gas（温室气体）could lead to climate change. In order to avoid creating greenhouse gas, the world should try to stop burning coal and riding in cars.

Saving the bears is _ 29us. Holland, one of the writers of the study, says, "I believe there is hope, but humans need to act 30to make that hope come true. "Let's take action to protect our earth and save polar bears.

（In an English class)

Mr Wu: Boys and girls, yesterday I asked you to collect some information about China's Tianwen 1 probe. Let's see what you've    16   .

Li Ping: I downloaded something. May I use the PPT, Mr Wu?

Mr Wu: Sure.    17   

Li Ping: Look at this picture. On May 15, China's Tianwen 1 probe made a historic landing on Mars! Following the US, China is now the    18   country in the world to    19   land a probe on Mars. It will give Chinese    20   their first chance to study the Red Planet closely.

Gu Yue:    21   was Tianwen 1 probe sent?

Li Ping: In July 2020.The probe entered Mars orbit（轨道）in February 2021. Experts said the    22   of sending the probe into orbit was equal to hitting a small ball from Paris and landing it in a hole in Tokyo. And the final    23   was even more difficult.

He Mei: I hear it's    24   called the "nine minutes of terror".

Li Ping: Yes. In nine minutes, the probe had to reduce its    25   from 20,000 km per hour to zero, landing from 125 km above Mars.    26   the probe is 320 million km away from Earth, there is a signal delay（延迟）of over 10 minutes if the research team tries to control it from Earth. So the probe had to    27   the landing on its own!

Gu Yue: That's amazing!

Li Ping: Indeed. When the probe finally slowed down.at 100 meters above Mars.it stayed in the air and    28   the landing area. It had to move away from the objects in its way such as rocks,    29   finally touching down.

Even before my father left us, my mother had to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, "Mom, I can't peel potatoes. I have only one         1        ."

"Get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes," Mom said, without looking up. "And don't use that as a (n)         2        for anything again!"

One day, our teacher had each of us race         3        the monkey bars ( 攀爬架 ), swinging from one rung ( 横杠 ) to the next. When it was my         4        , I shook my head. Some kids behind me         5        , and I went home crying.

Hearing my story, Mom hugged me. The next afternoon, she took me         6        to school. At the empty playground, Mom looked carefully at the rungs. "Now,         7        up with your right hand," she advised. She stood by as I tried hard to lift myself with my right hand         8        I could hook ( 勾住 ) the rung with my other elbow ( 肘 ). Day after day we practiced and she praised me for every rung I         9        .

I'll never forget the next time, crossing the rings, I looked         10        at the kids standing there with their mouths         11        .

One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I         12        myself into the bed, crying. I could hear Mom come in, "Mom," I said sadly, "         13        of the boys would dance with me."

It was a long         14        before Mom said, "Oh, honey, someday you'll be beating those boys off with a bat." Her voice was so         15        that I could hardly get it. I could see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she had suffered ( 遭受 ) in bringing me up. She had never let me see her tears.

Mother's tears are always there in my heart. I will beat any difficulty off with one hand.

Have you ever noticed that your fingers are wrinkled （有皱纹的） when you've just finished swimming or（1） 　    　cloths？It seems（2） 　    　your hands have aged 30 years in a short time.But is this an accident？Or is it something that nature has built into our bodies？

   The wrinkles looked a bit（3） 　    　 the patterns on the bottom of the running shoes.So （4） 　    　made a guess that wrinkles on fingers might be able to help the hands hold things better.

   To test this，researchers asked 20 people to pick up marbles （弹珠） from water（5） 　    　their hands.But（6） 　    　they started to pick up the marbles，half the people had to keep their hands in water for half an hour.

   The researchers discovered the people who had wrinkled fingers completed the task faster that those whose hands were dry.But when they（7） 　    　to move dry marbles，all the people performed the same，no matter whether（8） 　    　 had the wrinkled fingers or not.

Our ancestors might not play with marbles，but wrinkled fingers could make（9） 　    　easier for them to climb around in the wet forests and catch fish from（10） 　    　.

   Similarly，our feet （11） 　    　get wrinkled in water.This may develop from our ancestors' need to run（12） 　    　 the wet ground.

   But the question is，if wrinkled fingers are so helpful， （13） 　    　don't our hands just stay that way all the time？In fact，there（14） 　    　several disadvantages about wrinkled fingers.They make us feel（15） 　    　.And wrinkled fingers don't have enough sense of touch.

Last Saturday, Du Juan came to a park with her red chair and tools as usual. She put a sign saying "    21    Haircuts" on the ground. Then a man, about 60 years old, came and sat down.

Du Juan took the    22    in her hands and began to work. They talked    23    like old friends. Du Juan spoke of some funny things in her life. The old man    24    his old days and shared his present life with her. He said that he was going to    25    his son's graduation ceremony the next Tuesday. Twenty minutes later, "OK, done," said Du Juan. The old man looked at    26    in a mirror. "I look good. Thank you!" he said.

So far Du Juan has    27    30 such free haircuts to people around the city. All began because of an illness. It made her ever thick hair    28    terribly. After that, she didn't dare to have her hair cut until a professional barber （理发师） appeared. "He talked with me and didn't regard me 29    a patient. I felt cared about and less    30 . He changed my appearance and more importantly, he changed me," Du Juan said.

" I learned the haircut    31    and later became a barber. I enjoyed    32    to people's stories of sadness and happiness," she added. During her spare time, she not only gave people free haircuts, 33    also made them feel the way she'd felt that day. In 2018, she    34    the Red Chair Project to help more people. "I can't fix their problems, but I can help them feel less alone for a moment," she said.

Du Juan believes simple acts of    35 , such as a free haircut, can make a difference. "The way you show up in the world is important," she said.

Dear daddy,

How's everything going? It has been so many days since you went to Wuhan. Do you still remember the    21    before you left? You looked worried, and I saw the luggage （行李） in your bedroom. I asked you, "Are you going to leave    22 ?"You smiled and put your hand on my head saying, "I'm just tidying up some clothes."

Later that night, I learned that you and mom had asked to be sent to Wuhan and were waiting for a    23 . At that moment, I really hoped that    24    of you would get the call    25 , your phone still rang. I almost cried out in fear as if I were going to Wuhan myself.

The next morning, I got up    26 . During the breakfast, you smiled and asked me if I would miss you. I pretended （假装） it was no big deal and said, "I    27    send you a message whenever I miss you."

You left even before the sun rose. I waved （挥手） to you until I couldn't see you any more. And my eyes were filled with    28 . I later realized it was Lantern Festival. I wrote down "Waiting for you to    29 "in my notebook. I knew the people of Wuhan needed you more than I did.

At night, Mom sent me some photos. I found you in the photos at once, "Hey, this is my daddy!" I was so    30    of you!

Daddy, we all miss you. I love you, forever and ever.

Yours,

Kathy
