【题目】 Every culture has some kinds of person-to-person greeting. But they are different all over the world.

In some countries such as the United States, handshakes and hugs are very common. In many European cultures, kisses on the cheek or air kisses are the thing to do when greeting people. And if you play on a sports team, high fives may be the greeting — no matter what your cultural background.

In the video, a man offers his hand to another man for a handshake. Instead of shaking hands, the two men greet each other by kicking feet — quick right kick, quick left kick. The video then shows more men greeting each other this way. It looks like a dance step or a soccer move.

We do elbow touch, we do foot tapping or, we say, foot kissing ...”

Another reporter in VOA, Sharon Wu, is taking a different way. For now, she has not changed the way she greets guests. However, she has a new after-greeting habit group hand-washing. “Recently we’ve had some guests coming to the studio. And for me, I still shake hands with them. But after that I say, ‘Okay. Let’s both go to the restroom and wash hands.’”

【题目】 Have you ever had a problem you couldn’t solve? Maybe you went to the store to look for a solution, but came home empty-handed.

【题目】 Polar bears(北极熊) are in great danger. And human beings are possibly the cause of the danger. As we burn gas to produce electricity or get us around town in our cars and trucks, we create tons of carbon dioxide (二氧化碳). This is causing global warming.

Polar bears need sea ice to live because the ice is their hunting ground. The bears’ main source of food is the meat of seals(海豹). These animals come to surface holes in the ice to breath. It is there that the polar bears catch the seals. Without any ice, there is nowhere for bears to hunt. The seals hardly come onto the land and spend their time out on the sea ice.

In recent years, the seal ice has disappeared in the Arctic during the late summer. This is dangerous for the polar bears, as they depend almost only on seals for food. Unlike brown and black bears, polar bears do not hibernate(冬眠) during the winter. Only female polar bears will go into a “little house” and stay for a long time if they are giving birth to baby bears.

It may be strange to think about, but winter is the time for polar bears to get food while summer is the time of hunger. The bears have got used to a cold world, and they need the low temperatures in order to stay alive. If the world continues to warm up and sea ice is absent for longer and longer periods of time, polar bears might unluckily go the way of dinosaurs (恐龙).

1Because of human beings, all the bears in the world are facing great danger now.

2If there are no seals on the sea ice, polar bears may have no food to eat.

3Unlike brown and black bears, only female polar hibernate in winter.

4Polar bears can get much more food in summer than in winter.

5Global warming may make polar bears die out in the future.
