Wouldn't it be funny if your mom said to you，“It's time for bed，honey．It's almost November!” Well，if you were a baby，your mother would be getting you ready to go into a deep sleep around October．

Bears in cold places go into hibernation to survive the winter．By taking this long sleep，they can get through the cold and snowy months when the food，like berries and nuts，can not be found easily．

Have you ever heard someone say that they are as hungry as a bear? Bears need to eat a lot of food before hibernation．They eat so much that they may put on forty pounds of fat in a week．During the winter，bears will live off the fat stored in their bodies．Their bodies use a lot less energy during hibernation．That if because their hearts slow down．Their breathing slows down，too．Their bodies don't grow and their body temperature drops．

If you were going to sleep all winter，wouldn't you want to be in a safe and protected place? That is what a bear wants，so it looks for a cave or a hollow（空心的）tree．It also makes a bed using grass and leaves．The bear may start to hibernate as early as October and might mot wake up until April or May，when the weather is warm again．

When the bear wakes up，it will have lost much of his fat，but spring will bring a fresh supply of berries and nuts to enjoy until it is time to hibernate again in the fall．

A．eats a lot of food                                        B．slows down its heartbeat

C．drops its body temperature                          D．loses a lot of weight

44．According to the passage，what will a bear most likely do when spring comes?

A．Continue to sleep．                                    B．Search for food to eat．

C．Look for other bears       ．                                D．Build a new bed．

It is important to practice tolerance，because it will make everyone's lives easier．Learn to accept（接受）people for their different abilities and interests．The world is very different，and practicing tolerance m your own school and city can help make a difference．
