According to a study in Nature Climate (气候) Change, the number of most polar bears will1 rapidly (快速地) 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.2 ice, they have to stay on land. But there is no3 food on land to support so many polar bears. The animals could die from hunger. The other reason is that mother bears may not be fat enough to4 milk for their babies, so some bears could stop having babies.

Polar bears are5 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 is the6 to about 25,000 polar bears. Arctic sea ice usually melts in spring and summer, then grows in winter. But now, the7 is taking longer to grow back. Scientists say the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet.

The study also shows8 it is possible to slow Arctic melting. Greenhouse gases (温室气体) could lead to climate change. In order to avoid creating greenhouse gases, the world should try to stop burning coal and riding in cars.

Saving the bears is9 us. Holland, one of the writers of the study, says, "I believe there is hope, but humans need to act10 to make that hope come true." Let's take action to protect our earth and save polar bears.

The students' answers were2, from 20g to 500g. The teacher said, "It doesn't matter on the real weight. It3 how long you hold it. If I hold it for a4, it's OK. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to help me call a5. The longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. What we have to do is putting the glass down, and6 for a while before holding it up again."

"If we carry our burdens (负担) all the time, sooner or later, we'll be tired. The burden will7 become heavier. Sometimes we have to8 the burden in order to carry on."

"So after you return home from school tonight, take a9 to have a break. Forget your burdens."

"Whatever burdens you have, you should learn to10 yourselves for a moment. Life is short but amazing. Enjoy it!"

Laba Festival falls on the eighth day of the 12th lunar month. At the beginning, it was a time for people to give sacrifices (祭品) to their ancestors (祖先), and to pray (祈祷) for a good harvest (收成) and good luck for the family. Many years later, it becomes a Laba Porridge eating event.

The custom of eating Laba Porridge first started in the Song Dynasty and became popular in the Qing Dynasty. Now it is over one thousand years. When farmers get a good harvest after their hard work, they will show their thanks to the ancestors, and heaven and earth. And they will celebrate their harvest by boiling Laba Porridge.

Laba Porridge is mainly made of different rice, beans and dried nuts. People add sugar and dried fruits to make it more delicious than before. After hours of boiling, the porridge is offered as a sacrifice to the ancestors and is served to friends before noon.

Family members eat Laba Porridge together and some kind people hand out the porridge to the poor.

After more than 10 centuries of development, Laba Porridge becomes a very healthy food in winter. All people of different ages love it.

Alqahtani found some of her family and classmates were worried. "They can't sit in a chair for a long time, and always talk to themselves," said Alqahtani.

Do you want to do volunteer work but don't know how? Here are some ideas for you.

Helping your old neighbors

When people get older, it becomes harder to do many things. Old people living alone can also feel lonely. As a volunteer, you can do a lot to help the old in your neighborhood. You can visit and talk to them. And there is also much housework you can help with.

Helping the disabled

Many people with disabilities need help. Some of them even can't live on their own. You can volunteer to read books to the blind or deliver (递送) something for people who can't get around too well.
Helping poor families

Some families don't have enough money to buy food and clothes for their kids. Some people even have no place to live. To help these people, you can give clothes, food or money to, or raise money for, a charity (慈善机构).

After waiting in the rain for hours, she finally heard a peafowl singing on the mountain. It was moment of breathtaking beauty.

Researchers at California Polytechnic State University(简称 Cal Poly) did a study. They studied the effects(作用) of birdsong on people walking through a park in the U.S. state of Colorado. Danielle Ferraro led the Cal Poly study.

Feraro said there could be an evolutionary(进化的) reason why we like birdsong so much. "The idea is that when we hear birdsong, it could mean that we are in a safe environment," she said. There could be many other reasons, too. Ferraro said that in some areas birdsong could also mean the arrival of spring and nice weather. "Bird diversity(多样性) could also mean a healthy environment," she added.

Ferraro and her team played recorded songs from a group of different kinds of birds. They did this in a park in Boulder, Colorado. Over several weeks, the researchers played recorded birdsong at certain times of the day and other times they did not. Then they talked with hikers(徒步旅行者) after they passed by. People who heard the recorded birdsongs reported a greater sense of happiness than those who heard simply the natural birds. The researchers said that both the bird sounds and bird diversity could increase feelings of happiness.

The research team did the study during the summer. Ferraro explained why this was important. "The spring is the most birds' breeding(繁殖)season. We didn't want to disturb(打扰) the birds too much."
