Sun bears（马来熊）are the smallest of the world's eight bears species（物种）． They have a black coat and a white or golden colour on their bodies． Their homes are in the tropical（热带雨林）of Southeast Asia． They live in trees and eat both plants and animals． They can grow to be 1.4 metres in height and 65 kilograms in weight． They usually live alone and are happy to spend most of their time by themselves．
Scientists studied sun bears in the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Center． They found that although sun bears live alone， they have developed a surprising social skill． They can copy （模仿） other sun bear's facial expression （面部表情） as a form of communication． They can even copy exact muscular （肌肉的） movements that other sun bears make﹣ such as making a face．
The ability to copy facial expressions is found in humans， gorilla's （大猩猩）， some monkeys and some other animals． But until now， only humans and gorillas have the ability to exactly copy facial expressions． However， scientists found that sun bears can copy facial expression as well as humans and gorillas． This surprised them because sun bears are alone and they have no close relationship with human beings．
Although they live alone in the wild， the sun bears in the study often played gently with each other． Sometimes they played with faster actions as hitting and biting． Scientists are still not sure what messages the sun bears were sending to one another．

Have you heard about “Survival (生存) Holidays”? “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing (打扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, but something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge for the children. Children feel uncomfortable when in danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.Is “Survival Holidays” for children?
