As we went back and forth about what to do next, our girls jumped in and told us exactly what they wanted to do. “We want to go to the butterfly museum,” said Emily and Hanna.As soon as we walked into the main area of the museum, we saw thousands of beautiful butterflies. They all flapped their colorful wings.My girls were jumping up and down, and I knew we had made the right decision to come to the museum. They were having so much fun.I turned to our museum tour guide because I was curious (好奇的), and asked, “How long do butterflies live?”She said: “About ten days.”“What can butterflies do in ten days?” I asked.The guide stopped, looked at me, and said, “They make the world a more beautiful place.”“Wow,” I said, “I never thought about butterflies like that. Thank you.”After we said goodbye, I couldnt stop thinking about what the guide had said. She was right. We all have something to offer the world with the time we have. When we focus our gifts on taking care of each other every day, we can make a difference.Appreciate (欣赏) the impact you can have on your family, friends, co-workers and neighbors.

But as soon as you turn the corner, you find yourself at the end of a very long queue. Its another_! It is stop-start for the rest of your journey. Meanwhile, at the same time in Antarctica(南极洲), 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, thats 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(流动) 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(延时) 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!31 . Emperor penguins get together to _.Akeep warmBplay gamesClearn from each otherDcross the road32 .

If a penguin is in a group, it _.Aneeds to move orderlyBcan move as fast as it likesCwill not leave others behindDshould move as slowly as it can35 . The last paragraph wants to tell us that _.Apenguins wont move together if it is not very coldBtraffic jams happen probably because people are impatientCpenguins learn their skills from human beingsDpenguins are likely to crash into each other in a groupFor more than four hundred years, people all over the world have been reading ,watching and listening to the plays and poetry of the British writer William Shakespeare.Most people think of Shakespeare as a writer.
