Polar bears(北极熊) are in great danger. And human beings are possibly the cause of the danger. As we burn gas to produce electricity or get us around town in our cars and trucks, we create tons of carbon dioxide (二氧化碳). This is causing global warming.
Polar bears need sea ice to live because the ice is their hunting ground. The bears’ main source of food is the meat of seals(海豹). These animals come to surface holes in the ice to breath. It is there that the polar bears catch the seals. Without any ice, there is nowhere for bears to hunt. The seals hardly come onto the land and spend their time out on the sea ice.
In recent years, the seal ice has disappeared in the Arctic during the late summer. This is dangerous for the polar bears, as they depend almost only on seals for food. Unlike brown and black bears, polar bears do not hibernate(冬眠) during the winter. Only female polar bears will go into a “little house” and stay for a long time if they are giving birth to baby bears.
It may be strange to think about, but winter is the time for polar bears to get food while summer is the time of hunger. The bears have got used to a cold world, and they need the low temperatures in order to stay alive. If the world continues to warm up and sea ice is absent for longer and longer periods of time, polar bears might unluckily go the way of dinosaurs (恐龙).
【1】Because of human beings, all the bears in the world are facing great danger now.
【2】If there are no seals on the sea ice, polar bears may have no food to eat.
【3】Unlike brown and black bears, only female polar hibernate in winter.
【4】Polar bears can get much more food in summer than in winter.
【5】Global warming may make polar bears die out in the future.

There once lived a man with his wife and children in a very small house. There was always noise in his house as his children played, laughed and sang. He could find no peace at all.
Life in this noisy house was unbearable (无法容忍的). So the man decided to turn to a wise old woman nearby. He told her about his problem. As she was a wise lady, she had an answer for him at once.
“Go home and bring all of your farm animals to live in your house,” advised the woman. “Bring in your sheep, horses, cows, chickens…” The man thought it was not a good idea. But since the old woman was known for her wisdom, he agreed to do as she said. He went home and brought inside all the farm animals he had. As you can imagine, it was out of order at home. The animals made all kinds of noise. The dogs barked. The sheep cried.
The man could find no peace at all. So he went back to ask the wise old lady.

Have you ever had a problem you couldn’t solve? Maybe you went to the store to look for a solution, but came home empty-handed. More and more, when the situation happens, people are creating their own device(设备) as the solution. It’s all part of the Maker Movement (创客运动)—make up of thousands of wise people who make and fix things, rather than buy them in stores. For makers, making some things by themselves is often cheaper and more satisfying than simply buy them in stores.
Thanks to technology, it’s easier than ever to turn a thought into reality. Many makers use the tools just in different ways. For example, Arduino is popular with makers. This open-source mini controller is used to develop all kinds of electronic devices.
Another key piece of technology for maker is 3D printers. You can even use a 3D printer to build your own 3D printer! The usage of these technologies inspires people to be creative.

Every culture has some kinds of person-to-person greeting. But they are different all over the world.
In some countries such as the United States, handshakes and hugs are very common. In many European cultures, kisses on the cheek or air kisses are the thing to do when greeting people. And if you play on a sports team, high fives may be the greeting — no matter what your cultural background.
These are our traditions during normal times.
With the outbreak of the new coronavirus (新冠病毒), health official (官员) all over the world are asking people to wash their hands frequently. People are warned to avoid large crowds to control the spread of the disease. This has led to new ways of greeting around the world.
In the video, a man offers his hand to another man for a handshake. Instead of shaking hands, the two men greet each other by kicking feet — quick right kick, quick left kick. The video then shows more men greeting each other this way. It looks like a dance step or a soccer move.

So, she says she had changed her guest greeting rule, “So, starting today (March 12) was telling all my guest who appear in the studio — we don’t shake hands anymore. We do elbow touch, we do foot tapping or, we say, foot kissing ...”
Another reporter in VOA, Sharon Wu, is taking a different way. For now, she has not changed the way she greets guests. However, she has a new after-greeting habit — group hand-washing. “Recently we’ve had some guests coming to the studio. And for me, I still shake hands with them. But after that I say, ‘Okay. Let’s both go to the restroom and wash hands.’”
