Over millions of years, penguins(企鹅)have developed a keen sense of where to find food. Once they’re old enough, they set off from the shores on which they were hatched for the first time and swim long distances in search of tasty fish like anchovies and sardines. But they don’t search directly for the fish themselves.

For example, when young African penguins head out to sea, they look for areas with low surface temperatures and high chlorophyll(叶绿素) because those conditions signal the presence of phytoplankton(浮游植物). And lots of phytoplankton means lots of plankton(浮游动物), which in turn means lots of their favorite fish. Well, that’s what it used to mean.

Climate change plus overfishing have made the penguin feeding grounds a mirage(海市蜃楼). The habitat is indeed plankton-rich—but now it’s fish-poor. Researchers call this an “ecological trap.”

“It’s a situation where you have a signal that previously pointed an animal towards good quality habitat. That habitat’s been changed, usually by human pressures. The signal stays, but the quality in the environment deteriorates.”

Richard Sherley, a zoologist at the University of Exeter and his team used satellite imaging to track the African penguins from eight sites along southern Africa. Historically, the birds benefited from tons of fish off the coasts of Angola, Namibia and western South Africa, but now they’re going hungry.

“I was really hoping we’d see them going east, and finding areas where the fish had moved to but it ends up being quite a sad story for the penguins.” said Richard.

The researchers calculate that by falling into this ecological trap, African penguin populations on South Africa's Western Cape have declined by around 80 percent.

Some research groups are exploring the idea of moving chicks to a place where they can’t get trapped, like the Eastern Cape. But Sherley thinks that a longer-term solution means making and carrying out rules to create more sustainable(可持续的) fishing industry, something that he says needs public support.

In many cases they have built their reputations over hundreds of years, and they have become names that millions of Chinese love, respect and most of all buy.

At least once a year, Meng Wei visits several shops in Beijing that specialize in traditional goods, longing to buy something for his family in Xi’an.

“It’s a routine I go through before I head home for big holidays such as the Spring Festival,” Meng says.

His shopping list includes Daoxiangcun pastries and Niulanshan Erguotou. “My mother has a sweet tooth and she always has a preference for Daoxiangcun, and my uncles love the kick of Erguotou,” Meng says.

A trust in quality and a desire for things of the past are among the reasons why many people buy these time-honored brands.

However, with such brands one characteristic stands out above all else: Their popularity has endured for years, decades and in many cases centuries. That popularity was evident in the attention the public gave to them in a survey(调查) of time-honored brands in Beijing last year, which drew more than 4 million respondents.

Yili, a century-old pastry brand, came out on top as the favorite. There are some old brands, too, that have been bywords for older generations, faded from view but then made spectacular comebacks.

One of these is Beibingyang (Arctic Ocean) a soft drink that was the first commercial beverage many Beijingers tasted. It disappeared from the market for 15 years but resurfaced in 2010. It again proved to be a hit, many people saying it took them back to the 1960s and 1970s, and was a natural reference point as older people started recounting childhood stories to their children.

"Such brands are the product of market competition and real quality," says Yin Jie, an official with a committee of experts charged with revitalizing Chinese time-honored brands. These brands are 230 years old on average, and some were highly popular back when the country enjoyed great prosperity(繁荣) hundreds of years ago, Yin says. "To this day what China contributes to these brands is certain rare natural ingredients(成分), and that keeps them going."

You're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater.You listen to their conversation:

“I can't believe it-Lorenzo Bertolla! They are almost impossible to find.Isn't it beautiful? And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome.”

They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater.It's nice and the price is right.You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish.They must know.So, you buy it.You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency.They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.

Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating.If the person looks cool, the product seems cool, too.This is the secret of undercover marketing.Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.

Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising.This is particularly true of the MTV generation-consumers between the age of 18 and 34.It's a golden group.They have a lot of money to spend, but they don't trust ads.

So advertising agencies hire young actors to “perform” in bars and other places where young adults go.Some people might call this practice misleading, but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative.“Look at traditional advertising.Its effectiveness is decreasing.”It is true, because everyone knows an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something.However, you don't know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.

1.The two attractive young women were talking so as to ________.

A. get the sweater at a lower price

B. be heard by people around

C. be admired by other shoppers

D. decide on buying the sweater

In the early morning, I head for the back door and find 10 inches of snow covering our home. Oh no, Bryan will have to clear the roof again, I think. But Rio rolls onto his back, playing in the white snow and kicking his back legs, delighted. His days in an animal shelter in New Mexico are long forgotten—he’s wholeheartedly enjoyed life as a Colorado dog.

Rio needs a walk. I’ve planned to attend an emergent webinar, but my husband is busy clearing. Rio pushes my leg with his snout(口鼻部), wondering why we are still inside. We’re late for our morning hike. I pull on my boots reluctantly. I don’t have time for this!

Rio and I walk a block through our neighborhood to the beginning of a road. Rio jumps happily into the snow, which is up to his neck. But I walk slowly with heavy steps, worrying about my to-do list, and I don’t notice the world around me until Rio starts barking.

A squirrel (松鼠) chitters at him from a high branch of a pine tree. We haven’t seen a squirrel in at least a week because of all the snow storms, so this is a treat for us.

Once again, my animal teacher is reminding me to enjoy the present moment, and I’m grateful. I take a deep breath and look around. Suddenly there is an explosion(爆炸) of snow. a nearby tree has released its heavy burden, snapping(迅速恢复) back upright. Silver snowflakes(雪花) dust the air around me as a group of birds flees the area, talking to one another as they fly overhead.

I watch and listen in wonder for what seems like a full minute. There will be 1440 munites on this day, but this is the one I’ll remember most. Then I look back to the earth and there is my sweet dog, waiting patiently for a treat. He knows I’ll want to celebrate this moment we’ve just shared. “I love you, Rio!” I say as I give him a cookie. He has trained me well!

When we walk home, I smile broadly, spirit washed clean, ready for whatever the day may bring.
