Simon hardly listened to his teachers or worked hard in class. For him, talking was so much better. He never stopped talking. He wanted to be heard. “If you listen carefully, you’ll learn something.” Mrs. Jacobs told him many times, but it didn’t work.
Last Sunday, Simon had a sore throat (喉咙痛) and he lost his voice the next morning. “Can I stay home?” he tried to ask, but words didn’t come out. His mother thought he could go to school. He felt upset.
When he got to school, he didn’t say anything to his friends or teachers. Everyone started talking at once. They were excited, worried and surprised. Mrs. Jacobs seemed happy. Simon was bored because he couldn’t talk.
But it wasn’t so bad. He could do his homework. The next day, even though his voice was coming back, he stayed quiet again. He listened and put up his hand to speak. What a great difference!

Can animals be made to work for us? Some scientists think that one day animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs. They spent that in a film or on TV. We may see elephants, monkeys, dogs, bears, or other animals doing a lot of things. If you watch carefully, you may find that those animals are given something to eat in return for doing them. The scientists say that many different animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs if they get something to eat.
Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and elephants can be used to do some heavy jobs .And we can also teach animals to work in factories.

Do you think of white when someone talks about a polar bear? In fact, the polar（北极） bear does not have white fur. It just appears to be white. Polar bears have a very good sense of smell. It helps them to find food. During summer, polar bears sleep longer, because they are able to find their food more easily at night. Usually, after a meal, polar bears have a short sleep. A polar bear can have 2-3 babies at a time. They live with their mothers until they are about two-and-a-half years old.
However, polar bears will die out soon because of people. There are only 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears in the world. The ones that are left are trying to survive today. The number of polar bears is becoming smaller and smaller because of the loss of sea ice— polar bears mostly inhabit (居住于) the sea ice, not the land ice. This is happening because of global warming (全球气候变暖), pollution, hunting and so on.
