A
Pierre is a 25-year-old penguin(企鹅)at the California Academy of Sciences. Due to his old age, he was losing his feathers, which made him feel too cold to swim in the pool. Therefore, biologists at the academy had a wet suit 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 woul d shake,” said Pam Schaller, a senior biologist. Schaller first tried a heat lamp to keep Pierre warm. Then she got another idea: if wet suits 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 (鳍).
“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 wet suit allowed Pierre to recove r 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.

A. having few feathers due to old age

D. others penguins rejecting him

Beijing is pulling out all stops to make sure that leaders attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting on Nov7 to 8 get a taste and feel of China’s rich culture. Here’s what you need to know about Beijing’s preparations for the summit: Huairou, has been given a major makeover in the past year since its Yanqi Lake was picked to host the APEC summit.
The once-quiet place in mountains, which is about 50 km from Beijing’s city center, now has a surprising convention center built in traditional Chinese architectural(建筑) style and a 21-storey scallop-shaped(扇贝) hotel.
Costumes
Traditional Chinese-style jackets, or tangzhuang, have been designed for the more than 20 leaders who attend the summit, in keeping with APEC tradition.
Dishes
A menu including dishes from Beijing and other parts of China is waiting to be served. The menu even includes simple food that is popular with the locals, such as spring rolls, pork dumplings and tanghulu, said the People’s Daily.
Security
Some 1000 surveillance cameras have been set in Beijing’s Huairou district to keep safe, where the meetings will be held.
Pollution control
To ensure blue skies for the APEC meetings, Beijing made a traffic control system that allows cars to be used in turn, based on whether the licence plate numbers are odd or even.
The system took effect on Monday (Nov3, 2014) and will last until the next Wednesday (Nov 12, 2014). It aims to cut total traffic by 35 percent.

Are you a gourmand(美食主义者)? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program? “A Bite of China” is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcasted by CCTV. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with a special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods:
Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures, and China is no exception. The Chinese believe eggs mean producing something new. After a baby is born, parents may hold a "red egg and ginger party," where they pass out eggs to announce the birth. In some areas of China the number of eggs represents the sex of the child, for example, an odd number for a girl, and an even number when a boy has been born.
Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with lit candles is in many countries. Since noodles represent long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.
Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on a plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last, pointed toward the valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, and sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.
A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanut or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great patriot, Qu Yuan.
The 50-minute program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements, such as eating habits and the quality of eating.
12. A bite of China is _______________.
A. a documentary
B. a book
C. a magazine
D. a newspaper
13. A girl has been born in Mr. Li’s home. How many red eggs may he pass out to his friends according to Chinese tradition?
A. two eggs
B. none
C. three eggs
D. six eggs
14. Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?
A. We can cut birthday noodles off in China if we think they are too long.
B. It is impolite to serve a whole fish last at a party in China.
C. The program lasts for one hour only.
D. There are many kinds of Zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival.
15. What does the writer mean in the last paragraph?
A. The writer thinks the program is too long.
B. The writer thinks the program has more meanings inside than the story itself.
C. The writer thinks everyone can have a good eating habit after watching the program.
D. The writer thinks the program has brought many kinds of delicious food to us.

Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp
Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit-and that can be a very annoying thing. 16 Read on for some techniques worth trying.
1. 17
People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (老年性痴呆症), according to a recent
study. 18 Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.
2. Go for a walk.
Mildly raised glucose(葡萄糖)levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise
produces chemicals that are good for your brain. 19
3. Learn something new.
Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time. 20 Or you can just go dancing with your friends.
A. Focus on the future.
B. This can be especially harmful to the aged.
C. It should be something like learning gardening.
D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.
E. But don't worry if our schedule isn't filled with life-changing events.
F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.
G. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.

He rubbed his nose with his
forefinger, 28 a funny turn, laid a small parcel by the front gate, and began 29 a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 30 , for the tramp’s face lit up with 31 . He entered the front gate confidently and ran the bell.
When the door opened, I saw him 32 his hat but couldn’t hear his words. The 33 was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words 34 the door closed fiercely in his
face. I felt sorry for him as he walked 35 out of the house. But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and 36 his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 37 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the 38 sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his 39 , pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 40 , whistling as he went along.
