Penguin(企鹅) Swims 5, 000 Miles Every Year

Joao, 71, lives on an island near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He has retired(退休), but still works as a part-time fisherman. One day, about five years ago, when he was fishing, he found a tiny, sick penguin on the beach near his home. The penguin's feathers(羽毛) were covered in oil. The poor bird was dying. Joao felt sorry for the sick, little bird, and so he took him back to his home. He cleaned him and fed him fish, and he gave him the name Din dim. The penguin soon became strong and healthy again.

After a week or two, Joao went down to the coast and tried to put Din dim back into the water. The penguin didn't want to go. He stayed with Joao, getting bigger and bigger—beautiful new feathers grew on his back. Eight months passed. Joao was very happy because he was enjoying the company of his new friend. Then suddenly, one day in February, Din dim disappeared. Joao was sad to lose him, but hoped that the bird just wanted to return to his penguin family. Four more months passed, Joao was walking sadly home from the beach, when suddenly he heard a familiar (熟悉的) "honking " sound—Din dim was back.

Every year since then, Din dim spends eight months with Joao and then disappears for four months. Where does he go? It is thought that he swims 2, 500 miles to the coast of Argentina or Chile to start a penguin family and then swims 2, 500 miles to Joao. That's 5, 000 miles a year to be with the man who saved his life.

Green Energy for Today and Tomorrow

Did you know that most of the energy we use comes from the sun? For example, the sun helps plants to grow. Plants that grew millions of years ago turned into coal, oil, and natural gas (天然气). We call these fossil fuels (化石燃料).

However, fossil fuels make pollution. This is bad for the Earth. Fossil fuels are also nonrenewable. Some day they will be gone. So, scientists want people to use green energy. Why is green energy important? First, it is clean. It doesn't hurt the Earth. Next, it is renewable. It won't run out. Green energy gives us almost 25% of the electricity we use today.

What are the main sources (来源) of green energy?

Water Power

Water power uses moving water in rivers and dams (堤坝). Moving water has energy. Water power makes 16.6% of the electricity we use. 

Wind Power

Is wind power new? No, it isn't. People used wind power many years ago. Wind power makes 4% of the electricity we use.

Solar Power

Soar power comes from sunlight. The sun shines on solar panels (太阳能板), and electricity is made. Solar power is now as cheap as some fossil fuels. It makes 15% of the electricity we use

Biomass (生物质能)

Biomass is energy that we get from plants around us. For example, deadwood or grass is burned in power stations. This makes electricity. Biomass is green energy because we plant new trees or crops (庄稼) after we use it. Biomass makes 2% of the electricity we use. 

New Green Energy

Ocean rise and fall each day. This moving water can make electricity. We call it tide power. There is also heat under the Earth's surface. Scientists can use this heat for energy, which is called heat power. We may find other sources of green energy in the future.

Some day, green energy could make 100% of the electricity we use. That's good news for the Earth!

Our lives are influenced by our general look on life, experiences, and how we choose to see things. While there are some roads that lead to a happy life, other roads lead to a life controlled by many things. 

Tip 1

There's no doubt that some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouths. They have certain advantages over others. Yes, you might have to work harder. But what kind of person you will be depends on how you regard your weakness and make it work for you.

Tip 2

It's natural for people to wonder and worry about opinions of others. But sometimes we lose ourselves when we spend too much time worrying about how other people see us. As long as you are happy, healthy, and not hurting anyone, you're living a good life.

Tip 3

We all have at least some unhappiness from things that have happened in our past. No matter how much we want to change what happened, we can't. It's a waste of time, and it's a waste of energy. Whatever has happened, you need to learn to let it go. See it as a lesson and move forward. When you can manage to do it, you will feel much relaxed.

Tip 4

A large number of people never really try or achieve much in their life. That is because they are too afraid of failing. Try to change how you look at failure. Then you'll realize that never starting or giving up are the only ways you can fail. Don't live a life full of regret because of fear.

A. Don't try to please everyone all the time.

B. So there's no need to let the past control the present.

C. Here are some tips for you to avoid being controlled. 

D. If you're too afraid to start, here is no chance to succeed.

E. However, where you came from should never control where you're going.

Moving from Here to There...

Do you know someone who moved to your city or town? Maybe they came from a rural(乡村的)area, or from another city. Perhaps they came from another country.

Every day, people and move to new places. Why do people move? Let's look at three important reasons.

Jobs

People move to find jobs and  . Sometimes, people move from rural areas to urban(城市的)areas to get a job. In 1990, about a quarter of the people in China lived in cities. Today, over half of the Chinese people live in cities.

People  to find a better way of life, too. For example, immigrants(移民)from Europe moved to Brazil in the 1950s to work in factories.

Li Lin: Last year my father moved to the city of Chengdu to find work. My mother and I stayed in our small town. I felt lonely . Now we all live together in an apartment in Chengdu. I'm in a good school, and I really like my new friends.

Services

When another city has good services, people want to move there. A city with good services may also be a cleaner and  to live in. 

Sometimes people move from a city to areas called suburbs(郊区). Suburbs are near the outside of a city. Suburbs have  for schools, hospitals, clinics, shopping malls, and zoos. Families   like to live in suburbs.

Mark: When I was three, my parents sold their flat in central London and bought a house in the suburbs. My dad has to drive further to work now, but I can walk to school. There's lots of space to play football here.

New Experiences

Finally, people move when they  in their lives, or to find new experiences. Older people often move to places with better weather. If students want to learn about other places, they sometimes go to universities in other countries.

Tiago: My grandparents moved to Portugal when I was five. They visit us here in Stockholm in summer, but in winter they stay in Portugal. They love  there.

As you can see, people move for many reasons. Maybe someday, you, or someone you know, will move, too!
