How are you is a nice question It’s a friendly way that people in the USA greet each other But How are you is also a very unusual question It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer The person who asks How are you hopes to hear the answer Fine even if the person’s friend isn’t fine The reason is that How are you isn’t really a question and Fine isn’t really an answer They are simply other ways of saying Hello or Hi
Sometimes people also don’t say exactly what they mean For example when someone Asks Do you agree the other person might think No I disagree I think you’re WrongBut it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly so the other person might say I’m not sure It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people For example many talks over the phone finish when one person says I’ve to go now Often the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse Someone’s at the door Something is burning on the stove The excuses might be real or not Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more but it isn’t polite to say that The excuse is more polite and it doesn’t hurt the other person
Whether they are greeting each other talking about an idea or finishing a talk people don’t say exactly what they are thinking It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other and it’s part of the game of language

Emperor penguins move like cars in traffic jams to keep warm according to a new research A penguin only needs to move 2cm in any direction for its neighbor to do the same thing These movements then flow(涌动) through the whole group of penguins like a traveling wave(波浪)

The SAT test is very important A high school student who gets a high score on the two parts of the test has a good chance to enter a top American college For this reason many students hit the books for months to prepare for the SAT

There might not be anything cooler in the whole ocean than a coral reef
Did you ever wonder how a coral reef forms Tiny animals called coral polyps (珊瑚虫) are responsible for the formation of coral reefs The coral polyps attach(贴) to rocks or other hard surfaces When they die they harden Then new coral polyps grow on top of them This makes the reef expand In fact coral reefs are always growing They grow about 12 cm per year
Coral polyps eat algae and other tiny animals The algae get their food from the sun Because sunlight can only make a way into shallow(浅) water the algae and coral polyps live in shallow water This is where coral reefs generally form
Coral reefs exist all around the world The biggest one is called the Great Barrier Reef The Great Barrier Reef is located off the northeast coast of Australia It is 2300 kilometers long It can even be seen from outer space Every year the beautiful Great Barrier Reef attracts many scuba divers and tourists about 2 million visitors per year
Coral reefs are an important part of our planet First of all they are a home for many animals They also protect shorelines(海岸线) against storms and floods They can even provide us with the natural resources we need to make some kinds of medicine However many coral reefs are dying Pollution and overfishing are the main causes And since coral reefs take a very long time to grow they cannot grow fast enough to take the place of the damage(损害) As a result the coral reefs around the world are starting to disappear Some scientists predict that someday soon most of the coral reefs will be gone That is why we have to take good care of them

What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner or a car full of passengers who are reading listening to music or even sleeping but none of them are worried about the road ahead
Well all of this could be the future of driving There are several companies including Google working on driverless (驾驶) cars which are currently in the testing stages If the tests are successful these electric selfdriven cars could be available very soon But how is it possible for a car to drive itself
Cars already have many features allowing them to take over for drivers in certain situations Some features include cars being able to park themselves or slow down when they detect objects close by They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions such as snow or slippery (滑) roads
Other features have also changed the way drivers react to some situations Scientists and engineers believe with the help of wireless signals cameras and GPS we are now at a stage where creating a safe selfdriving car might be possible
The selfdriven car may be the answer to lowering the number of deadly accidents caused by careless drivers or dangerous conditions However there are still some people who do not like the idea American lawyer Whit Drake for example doesn’t believe these cars are safe He thinks the possibility of the technology making a mistake will be too high

In the morning you’re on the school bus But as soon as you turn a corner you’ll find yourself at the end of a very long queue(队)it’s another traffic jam Meanwhile in Antarctica(南极洲) snow covers the land A group of emperor penguins crowd together to keep warm using stopandgo movements to protect themselves from the winds Can you see the connection
Emperor penguins move like cars in traffic jams to keep warm according to a new research A penguin only needs to move 2cm in any direction for its neighbor to do the same thing These movements then flow(涌动) through the whole group of penguins like a traveling wave(波浪)
These waves also help the smaller crowds join bigger groups keeping more and more of their friends warm A single Antarctica traffic jam has thousands of penguins Interestingly the technology once used for studying road traffic jams was used to study the penguins It included studying timelapse(延时)videos Scientists also discovered that’s unlike on the road these waves can be made by any penguin and in any direction
With temperatures usually dropping 50 degrees below zero and winds reaching speeds of up to 200kmh these traveling waves are very important for penguins to keep warm
These penguins can also teach us a lesson In a big group they learn to be orderly and patient and never to crash into each other These are skills that we should all learn from them when we are on the road

Every society has its own ways of saying things One popular expression in the United States is hitting the books It means studying a subject with great effort

The SAT test is very important A high school student who gets a high score on the two parts of the test has a good chance to enter a top American college For this reason many students hit the books for months to prepare for the SAT

There might not be anything cooler in the whole ocean than a coral reef
Did you ever wonder how a coral reef forms Tiny animals called coral polyps (珊瑚虫) are responsible for the formation of coral reefs The coral polyps attach(贴) to rocks or other hard surfaces When they die they harden Then new coral polyps grow on top of them This makes the reef expand In fact coral reefs are always growing They grow about 12 cm per year
Coral polyps eat algae and other tiny animals The algae get their food from the sun Because sunlight can only make a way into shallow(浅) water the algae and coral polyps live in shallow water This is where coral reefs generally form
Coral reefs exist all around the world The biggest one is called the Great Barrier Reef The Great Barrier Reef is located off the northeast coast of Australia It is 2300 kilometers long It can even be seen from outer space Every year the beautiful Great Barrier Reef attracts many scuba divers and tourists about 2 million visitors per year
Coral reefs are an important part of our planet First of all they are a home for many animals They also protect shorelines(海岸线) against storms and floods They can even provide us with the natural resources we need to make some kinds of medicine However many coral reefs are dying Pollution and overfishing are the main causes And since coral reefs take a very long time to grow they cannot grow fast enough to take the place of the damage(损害) As a result the coral reefs around the world are starting to disappear Some scientists predict that someday soon most of the coral reefs will be gone That is why we have to take good care of them

What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner or a car full of passengers who are reading listening to music or even sleeping but none of them are worried about the road ahead
Well all of this could be the future of driving There are several companies including Google working on driverless (驾驶) cars which are currently in the testing stages If the tests are successful these electric selfdriven cars could be available very soon But how is it possible for a car to drive itself
Cars already have many features allowing them to take over for drivers in certain situations Some features include cars being able to park themselves or slow down when they detect objects close by They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions such as snow or slippery (滑) roads
Other features have also changed the way drivers react to some situations Scientists and engineers believe with the help of wireless signals cameras and GPS we are now at a stage where creating a safe selfdriving car might be possible
The selfdriven car may be the answer to lowering the number of deadly accidents caused by careless drivers or dangerous conditions However there are still some people who do not like the idea American lawyer Whit Drake for example doesn’t believe these cars are safe He thinks the possibility of the technology making a mistake will be too high
