Pierre is a 25-year-old penguin at the California Academy of Sciences.Due to his old age,he was going bald,which made him feel too cold to swim in the pool.Therefore,biologists at the academy had a wetsuit created for this penguin to help him get back in the swimming pool.

Unlike marine(海生的) mammals,which have a layer of blubber(鲸脂) to keep them warm,penguins depend on their waterproof feathers.Without them,Pierre was unwilling to jump into the swimming pool and ended up trembling on the side of the pool while his 19 peers played in the water.

“He was cold:he would shake,”said Pam Schaller,a senior biologist.Schaller first tried a heat lamp to keep Pierre warm.Then she got another idea:if wetsuits keep humans warm in the cold Pacific,why not make one for Pierre?

Schaller designed the suit,which covered Pierre’s body and had small openings for his flippers.

“I would walk behind him and look at where there were any gaps.and cut and refit until it looked like it was extremely suitable.”she said.

One concern was that the other penguins would reject Pierre in his new suit,but in fact,they accepted his new look.He swam freely and got along with others well,although he was the only penguin with a black stomach.

Schaller couldn’t say for sure whether the wetsuit allowed Pierre to recover his fine feathers,but” certainly we were able to keep him comfortable during a period of time that would have been very difficult for him to stay comfortable”.

Pierre will take off his suit after his new feathers grow back.

Lillian was a young girl who grew up in a village. At the age of 16, her father forced her to drop out of school and find a job to help the family.

With limited education, skills and hope, she would take the bus into the big cities of Windsor and Detroit, walk aimlessly about and then return home every day. She couldn’t even bring herself to knock on a door.

As the days passed, Lillian knew she would soon have to knock on a door. On one of her trips, Lillian saw a sign at Carhartt Overall Company, saying, “Help Wanted, Secretarial. Apply Within.”

She walked up to the office and was met by the office manager, who sat her down at a typewriter and said, “Let’s see how good you really are.”

She directed Lillian to type a single letter and then left. Lillian looked at the clock: 11:40 am. She figured that she could run away in the crowd then. But she knew she should at least try the letter.

On her first try, she got through one line. It had five words and she made four mistakes. The clock read 11:45. “At noon,” she said to herself, “I’ll move out with the crowd, and she will never see me again.” On her second try, Lillian got through a full paragraph, but still made many mistakes. Again she pulled out the paper. At last she completed the letter with some mistakes.

Just then, the door opened and the office manager walked in. She came directly over to Lillian, read the letter, paused and then said, “Lillian, you’ve done a good job.”

A new study has found evidence of aggressive(富于攻击性的)behaviors in children who drink four or more servings of soft drinks every day. Information for the study came from the mothers of 3, 000 5-year-olds.

Researchers asked the women to keep a record of how many servings of soft drinks their children drank over a two-month period. The women were also asked to complete a checklist of their children’s behaviors.

The researchers found that 43 percent of the boys and girls drank at least one daily serving of soda, 4 percent of the youngsters had four or more servings of soda to drink every day.

Shakira Suglia is with Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health in New York City. She worked on the study with researchers from the University of Vermont and Harvard University School of Public Health. She says they found that children who drank the most soda were more than two times as likely as those who drank no soda to show signs of aggression.

“For the children who consumed four or more servings of soft drinks per day, we see an association between aggressive behaviors, attention problems and withdrawn behaviors. ”

The aggressive behaviors included destroying possessions belonging to others, taking part in fights and physically attacking people.

Doctor Suglia says it’s not clear why young children who drink a lot of soda have behavior problems.

“We can’t prove that this is a direct cause and effect relationship, having said that, there are a lot of ingredients in soda, a lot of ingredients that have not been examined in relation to behaviors. ”

Earlier studies of young adults have found the highest sugar levels in those who carry weapons and show signs of negative social behaviors.

B. Mothers played an important part in the study.

C. Half of the children drank one daily serving of soda.

D. The result of the study is unknown.

3.What does the underlined word mean?

A. Bought. B. Drank. C. Fought. D. Studied.

4.What can we learn from Doctor Suglia?

A. The relation between aggressive behaviors and soft drinks is not clear.

B. Children who drink a lot of soda must have behavior problems.

C. There are a lot of ingredients examined in relation to behaviors.

D. Children shouldn’t drink soda.
