Many of us feel sleepy in winter, but other species often take it a step further and hibernate (冬眠). 【1】 The body slows down and breathing, temperature and metabolic and heart rate all decrease. Dormice (睡鼠) head underground and hedgehogs (刺猬) hunker down in their nests.

Hibernation seems to do them good. But human cannot bed down for long periods. 2 To work out why we do not, first we need to find out why animals do. The most obvious reason for hibernating is to avoid the cold. Conditions are harsh and there is little food to eat, as fewer plants are growing. 3 Then they live off body-fat reserves until it’s time to wake up.

But a 2015 study of dormice found that they continued hibernating even when cold conditions had ended. 4 The key issue seemed to be connected with their main food: beech trees. The dormice need their seeds to reproduce, or for the baby dormice to gain enough body fat. In a harvest year, they produce plenty of seeds. Somehow the dormice could predict it. Otherwise, they stop reproduction these years and increase their survival by staying underground.

5 By staying out of sight, the dormice avoided being hunted by their predators (天敌) like owls. Until recently people thought hibernation was just about energy saving, a defense against cold weather and food shortage, and now we think it’s more predator avoidance. The survival rates in hibernation are close to 100%.

A. So obviously there are other reasons.

B. They were hibernating underground to save energy.

C. Hibernation is an extended period of energy-saving state.

D. All kinds of animals hibernate, from insects to birds and primates.

E. Why, if it is so beneficial, do we not hibernate?

F. The dormice had another reason to stay underground.

G. So many animals fatten themselves up during summer.

When you’re searching for a summer job, look for help beyond the wanted signs. 4 And even if a business doesn’t have a sign or advertisement indicating that they are looking for help, stop by and ask a manager. You might fill in an application anyway, which could lead to a position in the future.

【题目】

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange and red? 1Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. 2 If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

3 A yellow room makes most people more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one. And a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 4 A black bridge over the Thames River near London, used to be the scene of more suicides (自杀) than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

G. Colors do influence our moods. There is no doubt about it.

【题目】I climbed Kilimanjaro with Lava Expeditions (探险队) during the rainy season.

I flew to Nairobi in Kenya and spent several days there. At my hotel in Nairobi I met the rest of the group with whom I would spend the next week. We all travelled on the bus together for a 6-hour journey into Tanzania and then Arusha, a quiet town.
