In the most southern part of our planet, there’s a place that’s covered with snow and ice all year round. But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky. This place is Antarctica (南极洲): the coldest, windiest and harshest (恶劣的) place on the Earth.
As the world’s least-known place, Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world. In 1983, China joined the Antarctic Treaty (《南极条约》). The treaty made Antarctica a peaceful place for member countries to do scientific research. During 30 years, China has sent many scientists to Antarctica. They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.
Antarctica is a place with fantastic views. However, life there is very hard. Food is one of the biggest problems. Frozen (速冻) food which can be heated easily is people’s daily food. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, scientists often eat dried or canned vegetables.
Sleep is also troublesome. In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create “night”.
Working in Antarctica is dangerous, especially when meeting gale-force (七级以上的) winds. Sometimes the wind is even stronger than a typhoon. It can easily blow people away. So there are ropes that connect buildings of some research stations. People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds.
What’s more, communicating with others is difficult. Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the only tools to communicate. If people want to say hello to friends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.
Although it is challenging to work in Antarctica, scientists’ passion to learn about this mysterious land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land.
1.From Paragraph 1, we learn that the Antarctica________.
A.is covered with snow and ice B.rains heavily from time to time
C.has little wind most of the time D.has sunshine during every night
2.Scientists from China go to Antarctica to ________.
A.find out ways to control water pollution
B.research climate change and marine biology
C.grow plants and vegetables in special condition
D.stop the hunters from killing the marine biology
3.We can replace (替换) the underlined word passion in the last paragraph with________.
A.strong love B.full preparation
C.pleasant introduction D.amazing imagination
4.The passage is mainly about________ .
A.view of the Antarctica B.exploring the Antarctica
C.how to survive in the Antarctica D.climate changes of the Antarctica

Our body is made of many wonderful parts, but brain is the most amazing of all. Many things are unknown about human brain and scientists are still working hard to understand it.There are many misleading（误导的）facts about the power of the human brain.
Do you know every day we use 100% of our brain? Some think that no one uses 100% of their brain. But, in fact, we all use it completely. Every part of our brain is connected with some part of our body, and while we are still alive, we use all the parts. So our brain is fully used. But one thing we can say is that we do not use the full potential(潜能) of our brain. The human brain has more potential. For example, there is nothing in the world you cannot learn, but some give up just because they don't think they can do it. In fact, every brain is strong to learn and understand. You need to develop that untouched potential of your brain and give some more time to that work.
There are also some interesting facts you didn't know about the human brain. Our brain can't do many things at the same time. Neurons(神经细胞) in our brain work so quickly that we feel we're doing more than our task, but actually we are not. Our brain does more creativec(创造性的) work when we're tired.
Seeing positivec积极的) in others shows our positive traits(特质) , and seeing negative(消极的) in others shows our negative traits. Being with happy people makes happier. Happiness, anger, sadness, fear(惧怕), disgust(厌恶), and surprise are the six feelings that people all over the world show.
We are happier when we are kept busy, as this stops us from thinking about the negative things in life. Our brain makes us different from other animals and enables human to progress and grow. Just put your potential to full use and achieve (达成) the unbelievable.
1.Is brain the most amazing part of our body?
2.Why do some people give up learning something new?
3.When is the brain more creative?
4.How many kinds of feelings do people show?
5.What is the main idea of the passage?
