| In Britain, some people say they will do anything if a famous person they love asks them to. One in three people in Britain have a new kind of disease (病) —they love a famous person too much. Some people love famous stars like Britney Spears, David Beckham or even Tony Blair. It is not just the young; grown-ups have the same problem. One in four people are so interested in their hero that it affects (影响) their life. There are two ways of worshipping (崇拜) famous people. One way is just to follow them or talk about them with friends for fun. The other is a more serious way. People have very strong feelings for them and think they are their friends. People who do so for fun are found to be happier. But those who have strong feelings for a famous person are perhaps to feel more lonely and worried. "Worshipping famous people is not certainly a bad thing," Dr. John, an expert (专家) said. "But like many things, overdoing it may not always be good for you." |

| Can you think of a bird that can't fly but is a very good swimmer? The emperor penguin is one! Since last week, six emperor penguins have been on show at the Beijing Pacific Underwater World (太平洋海底世界, BPUW). "I had only seen penguins in my geography textbook," said 13-year-old Yu Yaxin, when she was watching the birds in the aquarium. "Emperor penguins are much bigger and taller than I had thought. They're up to my shoulders!" One month ago these penguins came to China from the Antarctic. At BPUW, emperor penguins have their own room with a swimming pool! A big air-conditioner helps to keep the room as cold as minus four degrees Celsius. "They're starting to enjoy their new life now," said Shi Xiaomin, head of the BPUW. "They no longer hide in the corner when people try to get close to them." Shi told TEENS that all six were quite lazy. They spend the whole day eating and sleeping. They sleep for more than ten hours a day! They're not always as nice as they seem. When they get angry, they make loud noises and move their bodies from side to side. They also hit very fast with their hard flippers (鳍状肢). There are 17 kinds of penguin and the emperor penguin is the largest and also most beautiful of all. Its colourful feathers and lively spirit (气度) made people call it the "emperor" of penguins. Emperor penguins can swim as fast as 30 kilometres per hour. That's faster than large ships! In the wild, emperor penguins spend half their time on the cold Antarctic (南极的) ice and the other half in the water. They're the only birds that give birth during the cold winters in Antarctica. There are now about 570,000 emperor penguins in the Antarctic. |
| 1. The penguins are from ____. |
| A. The North Pole. B. The Antarctic. C. Beijing zoo. D. The Indian Ocean. |
| 2. According to Yu Yaxin, emperor penguins ____. |
| A. are very lazy B. are just big birds C. are taller and larger than expected D. sleep and eat all day long |
| 3. Emperor penguins get their name because they ____. |
| A. are brave enough to give birth in winter B. can swim faster than large ships C. spend most of their time eating and sleeping D. they are beautiful and lively |
| 4. When penguins are angry, they ____. |
| A. make loud noises and shake their bodies B. cry out and refuse to eat C. play tricks on people who feed them D. hide in a corner and cry |
| 5. How do the emperor penguins spend their years? |
| A. They give birth during the cold winters in Antarctica. B. They spend half their time on the cold Antarctic (南极的) ice and the other half in the water. C. They can swim in the cold water in Antarctica. D. They fly up in the sky like other birds in Antarctica. |

| Three kids have been learning chemistry for only a few months. But they have already begun to challenge a world famous scientist! Li Weichi, Huang Runling, and Xiao Yan are from Zhongshan Huaqiao Middle School in Guangdong. They have just found a red cabbage that could be a new kind of acid-base indicator (酸碱指示剂). They want it to take the place of litmus (石蕊) paper. "We've learnt to think of and ask questions about life by ourselves," said Li, "We work well with each other." British scientist Robert Boyle discovered the use of litmus paper over 300 years ago. Now it is used widely in experiments all over the world. But when the kids did some experiments in class last winter, they saw that the litmus paper didn't turn very blue with base matter. It's hard to get a clear result. Will there be a better indicator than litmus paper? The three kids decided to try and find out! How? They went to collect over 40 plants in parks, gardens and markets. Then they ground (研磨) leaves, flowers and stems (茎) to get the pigments (色素) from them. The kids mixed pigments with acid and base. They spent months watching carefully to see which paper showed the best colour change. They decided it was the litmus paper! "It's our first scientific journey, Huang said, "But it makes me want to try harder." |

| In a classroom in any countries, the teacher teaches more than art or history or language. He or she teaches something behind-the culture(文化)of the country. In a country such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join together and they pay much attention to personal ideas. Teachers try to make each student special. Students do not have to remember a lot of information, instead, they work and find answers by themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age students learn to have their own ideas. Their education encourages personal thought(思想). (3) The importance is placed on how to arrive at an answer and not only to get the correct answer. In most Asian countries, people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the education there pays more attention to group goals than personal ideas. Children in China and Japan often work together and help each other on homework. In the classroom, the ways of teaching are often very traditional. The teacher says, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students repeat(重复) rules or information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind. In many ways these differences come from different educational ideas. In Western countries teachers are taught to help students to learn. They make it easier for the students to learn by themselves. (4) In some Asian countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students. |
