Paul Nicklen waited patiently on the ice in the Arctic (北极). He was there to take pictures for National Geographic (《国家地理》). Finally, he saw something big and white. It was a polar bear (北极熊), swimming towards food in the icy water.
Nicklen lay down on the ice to get a better photo. The swimming bear climbed onto an ice floe (浮冰). Unluckily, it broke, and the bear fell back into the water. The polar bear couldn’t find a meal, and had to swim farther away to find food.
Polar bears need ice to hunt seals (猎取海豹)—their favourite meal. They stand on the ice floes, and wait for the seals to come up for air. However, because of global warming (全球变暖), Arctic temperatures are rising and polar ice is melting (融化). As polar ice melts, polar bears have to swim farther to find ice floes. Sometimes, bears have to swim more than 200 kilometres to find an ice floe. Some bears cannot swim that far and, sadly, they die in the water.
On his last trip, Nickden saw three polar bear bodies. Before global warming influences the Arctic, a dead polar bear is hardly seen. Wildlife experts (野生动物专家) think that global warming will have a terrible influence on polar bears. In the future, polar ice will continue to melt. Some scientists believe that about two﹣thirds of the world’s polar bears will disappear by 2050.

A．take photos
B．do research
C．spend a vacation
D．watch polar bears

8．The polar bears hunt seals ________ .
A．by waiting on ice floes
B．by waiting under the water
C．when the seals get tired in the water

I’m glad that you’ll travel to China for vacation.
I’d like to tell you some body language used in China. Maybe body language in China is quite different from that in your country. In China, when people agree with each other, they will nod their heads. However, when they have different opinions, they will shake their heads instead. Eye contact is an important part of body language. But to be polite, you’d better not look at the older people’s eyes for a long time. To make a good impression on others, you should smile at others when you are talking with them. If someone does something well, you can raise your thumb to praise him or her.
I hope my advice will help you and you can have a good time in China.
Yours,
Li Hua
