Mike worked for the Canadian government.One day, he was 1 to learn more about wolves.Do wolves kill lots of caribou (北美驯鹿)? Do they kill people?
They gave him lots of food and clothes and guns.Then they put him on a plane and 2 him to a far-away place.The plane put him down and went away.There were no houses or 3 in this place, but there were lots of animals and lots of wolves.
There are many 4 stories about wolves.Wolves are said to like to kill and eat people.Mike remembered these stories, and he was afraid.He had his gun 5him all the time.
Then one day, he saw a group of wolves.There was a mother wolf with four baby wolves.A father wolf and another male wolf, younger than him, lived with them.
Mike watched these wolves every day.The mother was a very good mother.She gave milk to her babies.She gave them lessons about life.They learned how to 6 food.The father wolf got food for the mother.The young male wolf 7 the children.They were a nice, happy family—a wolf family! Mike did not need his 8 any more.In a short time, he got on well with the family.Mike 9 them for five months.He learned that many stories about wolves were not true.Wolves do not eat people, and they do not eat many large animals.And he also learned bad things about 10.It was men who killed many caribou and wolves.
Later, Mike wrote a book about wolves.He wanted people to understand them and stop killing them.
A beautiful and very successful actress played the lead role in a new musical show. Her home was in the countryside, but she did not want to go back there every night, so she bought an expensive house in the centre of the city, she got some beautiful furniture(家具) and had a man to paint the rooms in new colours.
It was very difficult to get tickets for her show, because everybody wanted to see it. So she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month, when she got the painter's bill (帐单). At the bottom of it were these words: “Four hours watching Miss Hall sing and dance : 3 pounds,” with this note: “ After 5 p.m. I get 15 shillings (先令) an hour instead of 10 shillings.”
Mobile phones help us easily find people anywhere at any time. A mobile phone can include many things, such as games, music and Internet access(互联网接入). Today, 4.6 billion people around the world have mobile phones, according to CBS News.
However, mobile phones may cause cancer, according to the World Health Organization. In a 2010 study, people who used a mobile phone for 10 years or more were more than two times as likely to get brain cancer, according to CNN.
“I think it is a good idea to give the public some kind of warning that long-term exposure(暴露) to radiation (辐射) from your mobile phone could possibly cause cancer,”told Dr Henry Lai. Lai is a scientist of bioengineering(生物工程) at the University(大学) of Washington who has studied radiation for more than 30 years.
These suggestions may help you reduce your risk of cancer:
⒈Use a headset(耳机) or speaker
Headsets give out much less radiation than phones. Some headsets give out low-level radiation. However, you should take it off your ear when you're not talking to anyone. Using your phone with a speaker will also make it safer.
⒉Listen more, talk less
Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or text, but not when you're listening or getting messages. Listening more and talking less can lower the risk of cancer.
⒊Hold the phone away from your body
Hold the phone away from your body when you're talking, not against your ear. Also, don't keep it in your pocket.
⒋Choose texting over talking
Phones give out less radiation to send texts than to carry a person's voice. Texting also keeps radiation away from your head.
⒌Poor signal? Stay off the phone
A poor signal means that the phone needs to give out more radiation to work. Make and take calls when your phone has a strong signal.
A study of sleep in sparrows suggests the relationship between sleep and the ability to learn may be more complicated (复杂) than realized．
Niels C. Rattenborg of the University of Wisconsin—Madison wanted to find out how the sparrows were able to deal with getting so much less sleep．He and his team brought eight wild birds into a lab and watched them for one year．They invented a game to check how well the birds could learn．In the game, the sparrows had to peck (啄) three buttons (按钮) in a certain order to get a food treat．The scientists discovered that the birds' ability to learn the right button order depended on (依靠) two things, the time of year and the
amount of sleep the birds had．
During the migration (迁徙) season, the sparrows were restless at night and got much less sleep than usual．Even so, they were able to understand how to get the food quickly as if they'd had a regular night of sleep．Outside the migration season, they found the sparrows that got less sleep than usual had much more difficulty learning how to get the food treats than birds that had a regular sleep．
The results show that the sparrows can deal with much less sleep during the migration season than usual．If scientists can find out why, they may learn from sparrows and find ways of helping people deal with getting much less sleep．Until scientists fully understand the relationship between sleep and learning, it's better to get plenty of sleep when preparing for an exam．
Do you suppose Darwin, one of the greatest scientists of all time, really did fools' (傻瓜的) experiments? Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic (基础的) that other people just thought they were foolish?
Sometimes, people think they already know the answer to a question or a problem．Sometimes, they really do know an answer, but without thinking it is important．
Charles Darwin didn't just think he knew something．And, he believed all things could be important no matter how simple they seemed to be．
Suppose you drop pieces of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape．If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way．Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight little ball and let it drop along with the other pieces．What happens? You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn't be worth anything．
But this simple experiment is important．It explains part of our present day understandings of physics (物理学) ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton．And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek (古希腊的) physics．
The scientist sometimes stops to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them．Even the simplest idea, which we might think is foolish, can shake the foundations (基础) of science．
— Oh, no, I forgot about it．I (phone) him immediately．
— Oh, my parents and I (be) in Nanjing last month．
Playing is serious business for children．In fact, it's what they do best! Ask them why they do it, and kids will probably say, "Because it's fun!" But it's much more than that．It's also good for them．
Studies show that from birth babies begin learning through playing．They use their five senses to get to know their new world．Touching allows them to discover how different things feel．Brightly coloured toys and clothing help develop a baby's sense of sight (视觉)．When small children choose which toy to play with, they begin developing their abilities in making decisions．
Children love toys that allow them to use their imagination (想象力)．Sometimes an empty box is more fun than a high-tech (高科技) toy．That's because a box can become anything to a child．
Crayons, paints and Play-Doh (彩色塑泥) are also good because they allow children to create．Traditional building blocks teach important pre-maths skills．
Playing doesn't become any less important once children start school．Many valuable lessons about life are learned on the school playground．Kids learn how to share, take turns and play by the rules．
