Emperor Penguins
Emperor penguins are considered the most beautiful and the largest of all penguins. They are amazing birds. They are good survivors, excellent swimmers and great parents. Do you know where we can see them?
You are absolutely right! Antarctica. Only Antarctica!
Antarctica is the continent which is the most southern area of land on the Earth and is mostly covered with ice. It is colder, drier and windier than any other place on the Earth. The lowest temperature can reach -89. 2℃. In order to survive the extremely tough environment, emperor penguins have to cooperate. They crowd together to protect themselves from the wind and keep warm. Meanwhile, they take turns to move to the relatively warm inside.
Emperor penguins live on a diet which consists of different types of fish and other kinds of sea life. To find food, these birds, which are unable to fly, can dive much deeper than any other kind of penguin. Their dives often reach about 244 metres, and they can even dive to more than 535 metres when necessary. They can remain under water for almost 18 minutes, longer than any other kind of penguin.
Emperor penguins have a very hard time bringing up their babies. They have to go to great lengths to care for their children. After laying an egg, the tired female emperor penguin will leave the family behind to feed at sea, while the male is left to take care of the egg. For two months, the father, whose duty is to keep the egg safe and warm, carries his egg around on his feet and will give up eating until the mother returns. He does not sit on the egg like many other birds, but stands and balances it on his feet. Thus he is at the mercy of the Antarctic weather. When the mother returns from the sea, sometimes up to 60-80 kilometres away, she throws up some of the food for the chick and takes the male's place to look after it. The father then takes his turn to feed at sea. Cooperative parenting at its finest.
By December, during the Antarctic summer, when the ice begins to break up and open water appears, the young emperor penguins are now ready to be excellent survivors, good swimmers and great parents on their own. What an amazing cycle it is!

A. work together B. fight against cold
C. protect themselves D. move to warm places
9. Emperor penguins ___________.
A. feed on only certain types of fish
B. live in the most terrible weather conditions
C. are amazing birds that can both fly and swim
D. stay in water 18 minutes longer than other penguins

A. great parents who sit on eggs to keep them warm
B. the most beautiful and the largest birds in the world
C. good survivors and they move to warm places in winter
D. excellent swimmers and they can dive deeper than other penguins
11. We can learn from the passage that ___________.
A. the chicks break up the eggshells in summer
B. an Emperor Penguin lays several eggs at a time
C. the male Emperor Penguins hatch the eggs in winter
D. the chicks are ready to live on their own one year later

Strangers Under the Same Roof
Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into an argument? Have your once warm and open conversations become cold and guarded? Do you feel that you just cannot see eye to eye with them on anything? You are not alone. Heated arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents.
Teenagers' physical changes may result in such family tensions. You may feel anxious that you are developing at a different rate to your friends, shooting up in height or getting left far behind. You might worry about your changing voice, weight problems or spots(粉刺) . When it all gets too much, your parents are often the first targets of your anger.
It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental needs too. You enter a strange middle ground—no longer a small child but not quite an adult. You have both a new desire for independence and a continued need for your parents' love and support. You feel ready to be more responsible and make decisions on your own. Unfortunately, your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy. "Why can't they just let me go? " you may wonder. On the other hand, when you are struggling to control your feelings, you wish they could be more caring and patient—sometimes they forget that growing up is a rough ride. It can be difficult when your parents treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult. All of this can lead to a breakdown in your relationship.
Although sometimes it may seem impossible to get along as a family, you can take action to improve the situation. The key to keeping the peace is regular and honest communication. When you disagree with your parents, take a minute to calm down and try to understand the situation from their point of view. Perhaps they have experienced something similar and do not want you to go through the same pain. After you have thought it through, explain your actions and feelings calmly, listen carefully, and address their concerns. Through this kind of healthy discussion, you will lean when to back down and when to ask your parents to relax their control.
Just remember that it is completely a common thing to struggle with the stress that parent child tensions create, and that you and your parents can work together to improve your relationship. The good news is that this stormy period will not last. Everything will turn out all right in the end, and the changes and challenges of your teenage years will prepare you for adulthood.
12. The first paragraph is mainly introducing ___________.
A. the importance of close family relationships
B. the quarrels between teenagers and their parents
C. the wall of trust between parents and their teenagers
D. the common conversations between parents and children
13. What mainly causes the teenagers family tensions according to the author?
A. Their parents' attitude towards them.
B. Parents' strict control over their teenagers.
C. Parents' expectation on their children's development.
D. Teenagers' physical changes and their mental needs.
14. What would the author agree according to the passage?
A. Parents should let go of the control over their teenagers.
B. Teenagers should always follow their parents' points of view.
C. Parents and teenagers should always keep open conversations.
D. Teenagers should not depend on their parents' love and support.
15. The author thinks the stress that family tensions cause is ___________.
A. normal B. terrible
C. avoidable D. natural
