散步減肥 Take a walk to lose weight
A group of penguins at a zoo in Japan take a walk to lose weight. Every day, 15 king penguins there walk 500 meters twice. "Just like human, penguins don't exercise much during winter. They become fat easily," says a zookeeper.
在日本的一個動物園裡一群企鵝在散步減肥。哪裡的15只金企鵝媒體散步兩次,每次500米。 動物園工作人員說:“和人類一樣,企鵝冬天不怎麼運動,容易發胖。”
聰明的熊貓 A Clever Panda
A little panda picks up a pumpkin and wants to take it home. But the pumpkin is too big. The panda can't take it home.
一隻小熊貓摘了一隻大南瓜,想把它拿回家。但是這隻南瓜太大了,她沒有辦法把這麼大的南瓜帶回家。
Suddenly she sees a bear riding a bike toward her. She watches the bike. "I know! I have a good idea." she jumps and shouts happily, "I can roll a pumpkin. It's like a wheel."
突然她看見一隻狗熊騎著一輛自行車朝她這邊來。她看著自行車,跳著說:“有了!我有辦法了。我可以把南瓜滾回家去。南瓜好像車輪。”
So she rolls the pumpkin to her home. When her mother sees the big pumpkin, she is surprised, "Oh, my God! How can you carry it home?" the little panda answers proudly, "I can't lift it, but I can roll it." Her mother smiled and says,"What a clever girl! Use you heard to do something,"
於是她把那瓜滾回家。當她媽媽看到這隻大南瓜的時候,很驚訝:“天啊!這麼食的南瓜!你是怎麼把它帶回家來的?”小熊貓自豪地說;“我拎不動它,可是我能滾動它啊!”她媽媽微笑著說:“真聰明啊!記住:只要你肯動腦筋,沒有難辦的事。”
冬眠 Hibernation
Hibernation is more than sleep. It is a very deep sleep.The animal's temperature drops to just over zero centigrade,and its heart beats very slowly. People who find hibernating animals asleep often think that they are dead: the body feels very cold, and the creature may breathe only once every five minutes. A hibernating animal cannot feel any pain. You can touch it, or even pull its tail, without causing it to move or wake up. In its hibernating state it can even live in a poisonous atmosphere for a long time without any ill effect.
冬眠不僅僅是睡眠,而是一種沉睡。動物的體溫降到剛好在零攝氏度以上,心臟跳動非常緩慢。人們看到處於冬眠狀態的動物,常常以為它們是死的:身體摸上去冰涼,可能每5分鐘才呼吸一次。冬眠的動物感覺不到任何疼痛。你可以摸它,拉它的尾巴,也不能使它動一動或醒過來。當它處於冬眠狀態時,甚至可以長時間地生活在有毒空氣中而無任何不良後果。
Hibernating in this way, the animal can sleep all through the winter. You might wonder how it manages to live without eating for so many months. The answer lies in two facts. Thefirst is that it has stored supplies of fat in its body during the summer and autumn. The second is connected with the main use the body makes of food -- to supply the energy for movement. We have seen that hibernating animal reduces movement to far below the ordinary level. Even the movements of the heart and lungs are greatly reduced. The animal hardly makes any movement, hardly use any energy, and hardly needs any food.
用這樣的方式越冬,動物可以睡過整個冬天。你或許會覺得奇怪,它好幾個月不吃東西,怎麼活過來的呢?可以從兩方面的事實中得到答案。第一,在夏秋季節,動物體內儲存大量的脂肪。第二是與食物對身體的主要用途,即食物供給身體活動所需的能量有關。我們已經知道,冬眠的動物把活動量減少到大大低於一般的水平。甚至心肺的活動量也大大減少了。冬眠的動物幾乎沒有什麼活動,幾乎也不消耗什麼能量。因此它也幾乎不需要什麼食物。
Some animals, including some bears only half hibernate.That is to say, they sleep during the winter, but their sleep is not deep and their body temperature does not drop, as they are warm-blooded animals. In the antumn the bear eats and eats and becomes very fat. His hair grows longer. Soon he has a thick covering of fat and fur. In November he finds a place to lie down and goes to sleep. On warm winter days he may think spring has arrived; he gets up and walks around. When he sees that the snow is still thick on the ground, he quickly goes to sleep again.
有些動物,包括有些熊,只是半冬眠。就是說,每到冬天它就睡覺,不過他們睡得不那麼沉,因為他們屬溫血運動,所以體溫不下降。在秋天,熊吃了又吃長得真是肥極了。它身上的毛也長得更長了,很快全身就包滿了一層厚厚的脂肪和毛。到了11月,它找個地方躺下睡覺了。在冬天暖和的日子裡,它可能以為春天已經來到了,便起來四處走走,當它看到地上積雪仍然很厚時,它很快又去睡了。
