Last Saturday, some of my friends and I went to a park for a walk. I saw a elderly woman collecting rubbish throw by people. She obviously had some difficulty collect some small things. Suddenly, I came up with an idea. Why not asked my friends to help her collect rubbish? Much to their surprise, all my friends agreed and were willing help. So we worked hard together with her and collected much rubbish. At the end of this activity, and we said goodbye to her. Felt tired, I was really happily. I really think we'll have a beautiful society if all people help each other. How a meaningful day!

Why do Chinese like drinking hot water?
In Western countries, drinking hot water isn't common. 1.
2..A British man, who has been in Beijing for over five years, visited local cafe during his trip in England. He said to a friendly waitress in a classy British accent, “Can I have a glass of hot water, please?” The waitress' eyes widened. She was so confused. “To...to...to drink?” she replied. Eventually, the man received the steaming liquid but felt cold stares from every corner of the cafe. Westerners are as curious about why Chinese people drink hot water as Chinese are curious about why Westerners drink cold water.
This cultural difference is not a simple issue, but related to history, culture, and science. When did Chinese start to drink hot water?3.. Archaeologists found pottery dating to 20,000 years ago. They believe the pottery was used to cook food and heat water.
Drinking hot water is considered to be healthier among Chinese people.4. Bodies’ normal temperature is 37℃, which keeps the smooth flow of blood cycle and the regular operation of the body's organs. Cold water has the effect of slowing.
5.If the body is too weak to warm up, some syndromes(症状)may present themselves, like cold hands and feet, Raynaud's phenomenon(the fingers turning white after exposure to low temperature or emotional events),a weak desire to eat food, poor digestion or body pain.
A. The answer lies in history.
B. There is a story online.
C. It is easy to provide an accurate answer.
D. Westerners often drink with ice almost every day.
E. Drinking cold water leads to an imbalance of temperature inside a body.
F. Hot water was reserved for the pregnant women, the elderly and the sick.
G. When drinking cold water, you will consume more energy to warm up.
Scientists have recently discovered a major habitat where live more than 1.5 million Adelie penguins(企鹅)near the Antarctic Peninsula. Based on direct ground counts and computer counts, the researchers found a total of 751,527 pairs of Adelie penguins on the Danger Islands in the Weddell Sea on the east side of the Antarctic Peninsula. The Adelie penguins discovered here is more than the rest in the other places of Antarctic Peninsula, which was published in the journal Scientific Reports.
Moreover, the number represents the first complete census of Adelie penguins in the Danger Islands, the researchers added. “Until recently, the Danger Islands wasn't known to be an important penguin habitat.” Heather Lynch, an ecologist from Stony Brook University who led the study, said, “These super habitats have gone undiscovered for decades partly because the islands themselves are distant and the dangerous waters that surround them.” The Danger Islands appears to have avoided recent loss in penguin population documented on other parts of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Another study published earlier suggested that more than 70 percent of king penguins may disappear by the end of the century as a result of global warming and overfishing. As the Danger Islands is likely to remain important islands for many penguins under climate change, scientists believe it deserves special consideration in the design of Marine Protected Areas in this area. “Now that we know how important this area is for penguin, we can better move forward designing Marine Protected Areas and managing the fishery,” said Lynch.
The idea of building the Marine Protected Areas, which covers 1.8 million square km of the Weddell Sea and around the Antarctic Peninsula, was first put forward by the European Union and supported by nongovernmental organization Greenpeace. In January, a global campaign has been started in the vast fishing-free zone to better protect wildlife.
