Do You Need to “Edit Your Friends”？
Is your mobile phone directory full of phone numbers of people you don't really want to talk to? Do you go out with people from work or school more often than with your real friends? Do you say yes to invitations because you think you should,not because you want to? If you answer yes to at least two of these questions,then perhaps you need to “edit your friends”.
Nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at school. The result is that we don't have enough time to see our real,close friends. As our lives get busier,it becomes more important to spend the little free time we have with people we really want to see,people we love and who really love us.
Who are the friends you need to edit? A few years ago I read a book about how to get rid of unnecessary possessions (物品) . It said you should ask yourself about each thing you have： Is it useful? Do I really like it? Do I feel better every time I look at it? If the answer is no to any one of those questions,you should throw it away. Maybe we should ask similar questions about our friends. What kind of friends will you probably need to edit? Sometimes it's an old friend. Somebody who you used to have a lot in common with,but who,when you meet now,you have very little or nothing to say to. Or it might be a new friend who you get on quite well with,but who is taking up too much of your time. Next time one of these people calls you and suggests a meeting,think “Do I really want to see this person?” and if the answer is no,say no,and make an excuse. That way you’ll have more time to spend with your real friends.

Winter is coming. It's time for the arctic ground squirrel (北极松鼠) to get her underground home ready. Winter is long and cold in northern Canada. Plants can't grow,so there are no leaves or grass for animals to eat. They must find other ways to live. The arctic ground squirrel “sleeps” the winter away.
① For months the ground squirrel has been eating lots of seeds,mushrooms,and berries. Now she is fat. The extra fat will keep her alive through the winter. At last she crawls through a tunnel (隧道) into the nest she has made. She curls up,wraps her tail around herself,and goes to “ sleep. ” Only she won’t really be sleeping. She will be hibernating.
② The ground squirrel's body is usually as warm as yours. When she hibernates,her body becomes colder than ice. But she doesn’t freeze. Her heart beats just one or two times each minute. She will take only about three breaths each minute. These changes in the ground squirrel's body let her live through the winter. When she hibernates,she doesn’t need much food.
③ The ground squirrel will not stay in hibernation all winter. Her body warms up and becomes active for a few hours once every few weeks. Over the winter,these active times use up more than half of the energy that she worked so hard to store. Why does she do this? Scientists aren’t sure. Some think arctic ground squirrels must warm up in case their bodies need to fight off any germs that would make them sick.
根据短文内容，完成下面的任务。
1. 根据上下文，画线单词hibernating的汉语意思是。
2. 用temperature写出画线句子的同义句。

Maybe many people in the world can not believe this,but the world's most expensive coffee is pretty terrible. Black Ivory coffee is made from beans which are often eaten and digested (消化) by Thai elephants,and the price of it is at $ 1,100 per kilogram. Isn’t it very funny?
As we all know elephants in Thailand are very good at painting,but we don't know they also make great coffee at all. People can enjoy the rare (稀有 的) Black Ivory at only four resorts (度假村) around the world,and there are three in the Maldives and only one in Thailand. However,people in the special Anantara Resorts come up with an unusual idea of making coffee from elephant-digested beans. Why do they use this way to make the great coffee?
It seems like a very terrible and boring idea,but in fact this idea is correctly right in theory (理论) . According to the research,enzymes (酶类) in the elephant's stomach are able to break down the proteins (蛋白质) in the coffee beans,and because proteins are one of the main ingredients of its bitterness (苦 味) ，less protein means less of the bitterness.

Have you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon”？People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example,someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy,but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “ I visit the shore once in a blue moon. ” While many people use this phrase,not everyone knows the meaning behind it.
The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never actually blue. This is just an expression. The phrase “blue moon” actually has to do with the shape of the moon,not the color.
As the moon travels around the earth,it appears to change shapes. We associate (联系) certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example,when we can see a small part of the moon,it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail. When we cannot see the moon at all,it is called a new moon. When we can see the entire moon,it is called a full moon. Usually,there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes,however,there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens,the second full moon is called a “blue moon”.
Over the next 20 years,there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see,a blue moon is a very rare event. This fact has led people to use the expression “once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.
1. A blue moon will happen in nature .
A. when there are two full moons in one month
B. when the moon has a blue color

Do you want to collect stamps? Getting started on a new stamp collection can be fun. There are a number of ways to start getting stamps.

Be sure to have them cut all the way around the stamp so they don't bend or cut the stamp. Also,ask them if they have any old letters in the envelopes. These can be some of the most interesting stamps you’ll come across.
