    The polar bear(北极熊) is white. We call it polar bear because it lives inside the Arctic Circle(北极圈) near the North Pole. There are no polar bears at the South Pole.

    The polar bear lives in the world of snow and ice. At the North Pole, there is only snow, ice and water. There is not any land. It's not easy to see the polar bear in the snow because its fur is white. It has a very thick(厚的) coat of hair because it is very cold in the Arctic Circle.

    A polar bear can be three metres long and weigh 450 kilograms. It has very wide feet, and it can stand up on its back legs. It can swim 120 kilometres out into the water at a time. It catches(捕获) fish and sea animals for food. It hides when it is frightened(受惊吓的). Some people kill the polar bear for its beautiful white coat. The governments of Canada and the USA say that no one can kill polar bears in the two countries now. They hope these beautiful animals won't die out.

    (1)、Why do we call this kind of bear "polar bear"?
    A、Because it lives outside the Arctic Circle near the South Pole. B、Because it lives inside the Arctic Circle near the South Pole. C、Because it lives inside the Arctic Circle near the North Pole. D、Because it lives outside the Arctic Circle near the North Pole.

    One day, a wild fire happened in the forest. The animals ran to safer places. The dry trees caught fire and the fire was sure to go all around the forest. The baby elephant ran to the nearest river, collected much water in his trunk(象鼻) and rushed to the burning(燃烧的) trees. He sprayed(喷) the water on the fire. Finally, he put out the fire.

    Later, while he was resting after the hard job, all the animals came to him and showed their thanks for his kind help in time. They were now ready to treat him as their good friend and their hero. They said, "A friend in need is a friend indeed(真正地). "
