Winter is coming. It's time for the arctic ground squirrel (北極松鼠) 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.

  根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，完成下面的任務(wù)。

1. 根據(jù)上下文，畫線單詞hibernating的漢語(yǔ)意思是。

2. 用temperature寫出畫線句子的同義句。

3. The underlined word “changes” in paragraph three comes from his body's , and.

4. 從下面A - D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中為每一段選擇恰當(dāng)?shù)闹髦季�，其中有一�?xiàng)多余。

   ① ② ③

   A. Colder Than Ice   B. Not Really Sleeping   C. Store food   D. Staying Well

  在加拿大北部，冬天是漫長(zhǎng)而寒冷的，植物無(wú)法生長(zhǎng)，所 以沒有樹葉或草為北極松鼠提供食物，因此這些小家伙選擇 “冬眠”抵抗嚴(yán)寒�？恐w內(nèi)儲(chǔ)存的能量，以它們特有的方 式安全地度過漫長(zhǎng)的冬季。

1. 冬眠 。根據(jù)前一句中的goes to “sleep”，再聯(lián)系全文和我 們的常識(shí),可猜測(cè)hibernating意為“冬眠”。

2. The ground squirrel's body usually has the same temperature as yours.

畫線句子意為“北極松鼠的體溫與你的一樣溫暖”。as. .. as可以與the same as替換， 都意為“與……一樣”。

3. temperature;heart;breath 

仔細(xì)閱讀本段，可知北極松鼠冬眠時(shí)，體溫、心跳和呼吸都發(fā)生了變化。

4. ①B 根據(jù)第二段主旨句 Only she won’t really be sleeping 可知答案選B.

② A 由第二段主旨句 “ When she hibernates,her body becomes colder than ice. ”可知答案選 A.

③ D第四段主要介紹了北極松鼠用溫暖身體來(lái)戰(zhàn)勝細(xì) 菌，保持身體健康，故答案選D.

                  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.

1. People need to edit their friends when.

   A. they have moved to a different area

   B. they have no time with their real fiends

   C. some of their friends don't talk very much

   D. their friends are people from work or school

   A. real friends

   C. young friends

   D. new friends
