You’re on the school bus. But as soon as you turn the corner, you find yourself at the end of a very long queue. It’s another traffic jam! It is stop-start for the rest of your journey. Meanwhile, at the same time in Antarctica(南極洲), snow covers the land. A group of emperor penguins crowd together to keep warm, using stop-and-go movements to protect themselves from the winds. Can you see the connection?
Emperor penguins move like cars in traffic jams to keep warm, that’s according to new research by the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marina Research in Germany. A penguin only needs to move 2cm in any direction for its neighbor to do the same thing. These movements then flow(流動(dòng)) through the whole group of penguins like a “traveling wave”.
These waves also help smaller crowds join bigger groups, keeping more and more of their friends warm. A single Antarctic “traffic jam” has thousands of penguins. Interestingly, the technology used for studying road traffic jams was used to study the penguins. This included studying time-lapse(延時(shí)) videos. Scientists also discovered that unlike on the road, these waves can be made by any penguin and in any direction.
With temperatures usually dropping below –50℃, and winds reaching speeds of up to 200km/h, these traveling waves are very important for penguins to keep warm.
These penguins can also teach us a lesson. In big groups, they learn to be orderly and patient, and to never crash into each other. These are skills we should all learn from them when we are on the road!
小題1:Emperor penguins get together to _____.
A．keep warmB．play gamesC．learn from each otherD．cross the road
小題2:In a traffic jam on the road, __________.
A．drivers can drive fastB．drivers can drive carelessly
C．cars are not moving fastD．cars will stop working
小題3:From the passage, we learn that a “traveling wave” _____.
A．is caused by a traffic jam on the road
B．is caused by the strong wind in Antarctica
C．is formed by the movement of the penguins
D．is made by just one or two penguins
小題4:If a penguin is in a group, it _____.
A．needs to move orderlyB．can move as fast as it likes
C．will not leave others behindD．should move as slowly as it can
小題5:The last paragraph wants to tell us that _____.
A．penguins won’t move together if it is not very cold
B．traffic jams happen probably because people are impatient
C．penguins learn their skills from human beings
D．penguins are likely to crash into each other in a group

The film of this week is Life of Pi. Pi has been raised in a zoo in India. When his father decides to move the family to Canada and sell the animals to American zoos, they get on a Japanese ship. The ship sinks, and 16-year-old Pi finds himself alone on a lifeboat with a hyena, an orangutan, a zebra, and a tiger.
Soon, there’s only Pi and the tiger. They spend 227 days in the Pacific Ocean. Pi’s fear, knowledge, and wisdom keep him alive. Finally, they reach the coast of Mexico, where the tiger disappears into the jungle. The Japanese who question Pi don’t believe his story, so he tells a second one --- more normal, less interesting.
