Chile，South America February 16
The sunlight was shining so brightly as our plane flew over the snow-covered Andes mountains，which seemed to go on forever．

Drake Passage-aboard the tour ship Explorer February 19
We were welcomed today by the captain and crew．They gave us warm Antarctic jackets and talked happily with us．Sea birds followed the ship closely，sailing in the cold wind．As we headed south，we saw a pink ship in the distance．Our captain explained that it was not a ship but an iceberg-the first one of our trip．

Deception Island，Antarctica February 21
We landed on Bailey Head，where thousands and thousands of penguins （企鹅） greeted us．The crew gave us a set of rules to follow to protect the environment．Mark，one of the scientists on our ship，asked us to bring him any rubbish that we find．He is studying the amount of rubbish created by tourists in Antarctica each year．
At night we listened to Christina，a woman scientist．She explained the plant and animal life to us．Then she showed us a DVD on Antarctica．
The more I see，the more I want to learn．

Cuverville Island，Antarctica February 23
We awakened this morning to the noisy sound of penguins．They're loud!We met a team of biologists living in tents．They are studying the effect of tourists on baby penguins．When our captain invited the biologists to come on board for a hot shower，they joined us immediately．Then we cruised （乘邮轮） through the icebergs，which appeared in unbelievable shapes and sizes，as the sun was sinking in the sky．They seemed to be works of art．

5．Science can't explain the power of pets，but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack，reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer．
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings．For some，an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife．A 2002study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress levels and blood pressure in people-half of them pet owners-while they performed 5minutes of mental arithmetic or held a hand in ice water．Subjects completed the tasks alone，with a husband/wife，a close friend or with a pet．People with pets did it best．Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates．With pets in the room，people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions．It seems people feel more released around pets，says Allen，who thinks it may be because pets don't judge．
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits．Researchers at northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36fat people and were put on a diet-and-exercise programs； a separate group of 56fat people without pets were put on a diet program．On average，people lost about 11pounds，or 5% of their body weight．Their dogs did even better，losing an average of 12pounds，more than 15% of their body weight．Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but，say Researchers，got more exercise overall--mostly with their dogs--and found it worth doing．

4．In Western countries，bread is one of the most important foods．When they get up in the morning many people eat toast （烤面包）．They spread butter and jam on their toast．People eat bread at other times of the day too．For example，at main meals，they often eat bread with soup．
It's also very common to eat sandwiches．A sandwich is two pieces of bread with a filling inside-salad，cheese or fish．A hamburger is a kind of sandwich．
There are many different kinds of bread．Some are special to some countries．For example，the baguette （法国棍子面包） is a long，thin loaf that began in France．
There is also white bread and whole-wheat （全麦面） bread．What's the difference？White bread is refined （精制的）．It has things taken out of it to make it softer and easier to eat．The trouble is，white bread also has lots of goodness taken out．Although some people dislike the taste of whole-wheat bread，it is much healthier．
Some kinds of bread have additives （添加剂）．They are put into the bread for many reasons．Some additives are good for you-for example vitamin C．Others are there to make the bread last longer．Still others to make it taste better-but they do not necessarily make the bread healthier to eat!

1．Nowadays，more and more schools in China have rules making students wear school uniforms to School．A lot of Chinese students complain about（61）wearing（wear） their school uniforms every day．But（62）doAmerican students get annoyed about their uniforms，too？American high schools usually have a dress code，（63）which is about requirements for students'dressing．Boys at school must wear clean jackets every day．Girls are（64）luckier （luck） than boys，they have more flexible（65）choices （choose） than boys．They can either dress similarly to the boys （66）orwear a dress．In general，it takes a student 10-15minutes every morning（67）to dress （dress） up for class．As students do in China，plenty of American students also have their complaints about school uniforms．What if students really dislike the dress code and want to get rid of it？Instead of getting punished，（68）actually（actual） there're ways to do that．At my school，"dress down"tickets（69）are sold （sell） on school days．If students are willing to buy a ticket，they don't need to wear school uniforms the following day．I have a strong （70）belief （believe） that one day Chinese students can buy these tickets，too．

20．Although problems are a part of our lives，it certainly doesn't mean that we let them rule our lives forever．One day or the other，you'll have to stand up and say-problem，I don't want you in my life．
（36）DProblems with friends，parents，girlfriends，husbands，and children-the list goes on．Apart from these，the inner conflicts within ourselves work，too．These keep adding to our problems．Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings．
But good news is that all problems can be dealt with．Now read on to know how to solve your problems．

19．Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger，but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways．You may wonder how paving（铺砌） a road can lead to less usable fresh water．A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater．Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers．It comes from underground．The more roads and parking lots we pave，the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater．
Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages（短缺）．Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts（干旱） than areas with more rainfall，but in any case，good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs．
Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference，too．In the United States，a family of four can use 1.5tons of water a day!This shows how much we depend on water to live，but there's a lot we can do to lower the number．
You can take steps to save water in your home．To start with，use the same glass for your drinking water all day．Wash it only once a day．Run your dishwasher （洗碗机）only when it is full．Help your parents fix any leaks in your home．You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away．

18．Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman．A man goes shopping because he needs something．His purpose is settled and decided in advance．He knows what he wants，and his objective is to find it and buy it； the price is a secondary consideration．All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want．If the shop has it in stock，the salesman promptly produces it，and the business of trying it on follows at once．All being well，the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes，with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction．
For a man，slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants，or does not have exactly what he wants．In that case the salesman，as the name implies，tries to sell the customer something else，he offers the nearest he can to the article required．No good salesman brings out such a substitute impolitely； he does so with skill："I know this jacket is not the style you want，sir，but would you like to try it for size？It happens to be the color you mentioned．"Few men have patience with this treatment，and the usual response is："This is the right color and may be the right size，but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on．"
Now how does a woman go about buying clothes？In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way．Her shopping is not often based on need．She has never fully made up her mind what she wants，and she is only"having a look round"．She is always open to persuasion； indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her，even by what companions tell her．She will try on any number of things．Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her．Contrary to a lot of jokes，most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes．They are always on the lockout for the unexpected bargain．Faced with a roomful of dresses，a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another，to and fro，often retracing her steps，before selecting the dresses she wants to try on．It is a laborious process，but apparently an enjoyable one．Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands．

17．When you go to have dinner in a restaurant，do you finish the meal？Many people who have in a restaurant think leaving some food is a good manner．（61）C To solve this problem，an Australian restaurant called Wafu had made a new rule：Finish your plate or pay more．
Wafu is in Sydney．It has only 30seats．However，it is famous．（62）A
When customers go to Wafu，the waiters tell them about the new rule．（63）E If they don't finish everything on their plates，they are asked not to welcome back．Canadian Broadcasting Center（CBC） reported that customers who eat all the food are offered a 30% discount，but those who do not finish it are not welcomed back．
"To find pleasure in our dishes is to finish the meal．（64）B"When you visit Wafu's website，you will see those words．
Yukako Ichikawa is the manager of Wafu．She said，"Wafu is not just a restaurant，it is also a call for treating food in the right way．（65）D"
