As the world's largest terrestrial carnivore (陆地食肉动物), the polar bear is the king of the great white north.Adult males can measure more than 9 feet in length and weigh between 770 and 1,430 pounds.The polar bear has a strong body while their heads are narrow with small, rounded ears. Polar bears can be found in northern Canada, Greenland, Norway and Russia, and there have been reports that polar bear tracks have been found as far north as the North Pole.The 5,000,000－square－mile range of the polar bear circles the Arctic and contains pieces of open water where seals are easily caught. Polar bears live on the annual Arctic sea ice that provides a platform from which they can hunt.They hunt seals on the sea ice by breaking into seal dens in the sea ice.The dens aren't visible from above, but seeing is less important than smelling to polar bears—with their sharp sense of smell, polar bears can sense the breathing holes of seals in their dens beneath the snow and ice.As the southern edge of the Arctic ice cap melts in summer, polar bears are forced to stay on land and spend their summers fasting (禁食), living off body fat stored from hunting in spring and winter. With about 22,000 polar bears living in the wild, the species is not endangered at the moment, but its future is far from certain.Climate change is causing the disappearance of sea ice from which polar bears hunt seals.Sea ice in the Arctic is melting earlier and forming later each year.People have reached an agreement that controls the hunting of polar bears and directs each nation to protect their habitats, but it does not protect the bears against the biggest man－made threat to their survival: global warming.If current warming trends continue, scientists believe that polar bears may disappear within 100 years. 1.Polar bears search for seals mainly through their ____. A. eyes B. ears C. noses D. necks 2.The underlined word “dens” in paragraph 3 most probably means “____”． A. the skin of the wild animals B. the home of wild animals C. the breathing holes of seals D. water of the deep sea 3.Which of the following statements is TRUE？ A. A polar bear measures at least 9 feet long. B. Polar bears can be found in both the North Pole and the South Pole. C. Polar bears stop hunting in summer because seals are hidden at that time. D. Polar bears may die out as a result of climate change.

People who seem to have all the luck are not usually blessed by a shocking amount of good fortune. They simply have a healthy attitude, which enables them to take advantage of their situations.Those who are closed－minded and negative simply don't allow as many good things into their lives, or if good things appear, they don't even recognize them. Having a positive way of organizing your thoughts allows you to create your own luck in everyday life.1. Focus on what you want Whatever you focus on, you tend to get more of. Many people spend time thinking about what they don't want—and that same horrible stuff keeps showing up in their lives.2. Be flexible Closed－minded people don't often come up with solutions, because they see only one way of achieving something.And if that doesn't work out, they just give up. If you open your mind to alternative options and possibilities, you'll find that things start working out where you thought they wouldn't. It seems like luck.3. Be determined Many celebrities, tycoons(大亨) and business owners are called lucky，with everyone assuming that they got a break(机会) to be where they are now.4.If you work hard and do the right things, it will be acknowledged，and you will be rewarded with more luck in everyday life. 5. Instead of focusing on what's lacking, look at how lucky you already are. You no doubt have some wonderful friends, family, a roof over your head and food on the table. By acknowledging these things regularly, you can instantly feel more lucky. A．Be grateful for what you have B．Here are the tips for creating your own luck C．Be grateful for the good that came from your past D．But often success is down to determination rather than luck E．Trying something new is a great way of getting more opportunities F．But it's your open－mindedness and flexibility that allow luck to happen G．Instead，paying attention to what you want will make you have more access to luck

Some time ago，a man punished his 5－year－old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping (包装) paper. Money was tight and he became more upset when the child wasted the gold paper so as to decorate a box to put under a Christmas tree. Nevertheless，the little girl brought the gift box to her father the next morning and said，“This is for you，Daddy.” The father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction，but his anger flared again when he found the box empty.He spoke to her in a harsh manner，“Don't you know young lady，when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package？” The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said，“Oh，Daddy，it is not empty.I blew kisses into it until it was full.” The father was crushed.He fell on his knees and put his arms around his little girl and he begged her to forgive his unnecessary anger.

Those with a fear of heights might want to give this exclusive eatery(餐厅) a miss，because it juts right out hundreds of feet above a canyon(峡谷)—and there's a glass floor to make the experience even more frightening.
Designed by Tall Arquitectos，the Copper Canyon Cocktail Bar(铜峡谷鸡尾酒吧) will overlook the Basaseachic Falls(萨赛奇瀑布) in Mexico from above. The Copper Canyon，if built，will consist of two levels，with the first featuring a bar—for those who need a stiff drink to calm their nerves—and a dining area，which will have tables positioned around to make the best of the views. Once their meal is over，diners can retreat to the upstairs observation deck for a more chilled view. They can also take a dip in the swimming pool to cool down after their one－of－a－kind fine dining experience, which is bound to leave them with vertigo(眩晕)．Or they'll be able to abseil(绕绳下降) down to the canyon floor. Renderings(效果图)show that if approved，the restaurant and bar will be completely elevated above the canyon in Mexico. The world's tallest restaurant title currently remains with Atmosphere，which opened its doors 1,350 feet up on the 122nd floor of the Burj Khalifa(哈利法塔)in Dubai(迪拜)． 1.What makes the customers to this exclusive eatery feel more frightened than other places in the world？ A.
