The Polar Bear
The polar bear is a very big white bear. We call it the polar bear because it lives
inside the Arctic Circle near the North Pole. There are no polar bears at the South
Pole. The polar bear lives in the snow and ice. At the North Pole, there is only
snow, ice, and water. There is not any land. People cannot see the polar bear in the
snow very well because its coat is yellow-white. It has a very warm coat because
the weather is cold north of the Arctic Circle.
This bear is three meters long, and it weighs 450 kilos (kilograms). It can stand up
on its back legs because it has very wide feet. It can use its front legs like arms.
The polar bear can swim very well. It can swim 120 kilometers out into the water.
It catches fish and sea animals for food. It goes into the sea when it is afraid. Some
people want to kill the polar bear for its beautiful white coat. The governments of
the United States and Russia say that no one can kill polar bears now. They do not
want all of these beautiful animals to die.

The Hippopotamus
The hippopotamus, or hippo, lives in the hot part of Africa. It is a mammal. That is,
its babies are born alive, and they drink milk from the mother's body. The
hippopotamus is a large animal. It weighs four tons. Its stomach is seven meters
long, and it eats only plants. It is a mammal, but it spends a lot of time in the water.
During the day, it sleeps beside a river or a lake. Sometimes it wakes up. Then it
goes under the water to get some plants for food. It can close its nose and stay
under water for ten minutes. Its ears, eyes, and nose are high up on its head. It can
stay with its body under the water and only its ears, eyes, and nose above the
water. Then it can breathe the air. At night, the hippo walks on the land and looks
for food. It never goes very far from the water. A baby hippo often stands on its
mother's back. The mother looks for food underwater. The baby rides on her back
above the water.

The Dolphin
Can dolphins talk? Maybe they can't talk with words, but they talk with sounds.
They show their feelings with sounds. Dolphins travel in a group. We call a group
of fish a "school." They don't study, but they travel together. Dolphins are
mammals, not fish, but they swim together in a school.
Dolphins talk to the other dolphins in the school. They give information. They tell
when they are happy or sad or afraid. They say "Welcome" when a dolphin comes
back to the school. They talk when they play. They make a few sounds above
water. They make many more sounds under water. People cannot hear these
sounds because the sounds are very, very high.
Scientists make tapes of the sounds and study them. Sometimes people catch
dolphins for a large aquarium. (An aquarium is a zoo for fish.) People can watch
the dolphins in a show. Dolphins don't like to be away from their school in an
aquarium. They are sad and lonely. There are many stories about dolphins. They
help people. Sometimes they save somebody's life. Dolphin meat is good, but
people don't like to kill them. They say that dolphins bring good luck. Many people
believe this.

Why Do We Yawn?
Bears yawn. Camels yawn. Most mammals yawn. Why do we yawn? No one
really knows the answer. We do know that everyone yawns in the same way. First
you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. Then
you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious, or
catching. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too.
Many people say that they yawn because they are bored or tired. This might be
true. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous.
Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? Some
scientists believe that yawning makes you more alert. When you yawn, you breathe
more deeply. You also stretch the muscles in your face and neck. Maybe this
makes you feel more alert. Scientists don't spend much time studying yawning.
That is probably because yawning doesn't hurt. It is just something we do.

Why Do People Laugh?
Do you laugh every day? Most people do. Scientists say that people laugh about
17 times a day. That is a lot of laughter. In India, there are hundreds of laughter
clubs. The people in these clubs get together every morning. First they stretch their
hands above their heads. Then they pretend to laugh. Soon everyone is laughing
naturally. People say they feel good after laughing together. Scientists believe that
laughter is good for you. Why? For one thing, laughter is good exercise. When you
laugh, you exercise many muscles in your body.
Scientists say that one hundred laughs equals ten minutes of running. When you
laugh, you also breathe deeply. This helps you relax. That's good for you, too. Why
do we laugh? That is a hard question to answer. We know that people laugh more
often in a group. They don't laugh very often when they are alone. Many scientists
believe that we use laughter to connect to other people. Laughter helps us feel part
of a group. In English, people say that laughter is the best medicine. Some think
that laughter helps sick people get well. Do you think so, too?

RICE
People all over the world eat rice. Millions of people in Asia, Africa, and South
America eat it very day of their lives. Some people eat almost nothing but rice.
Rice is a kind of grass. There are more than 7000 kinds of rice. Farmers grow rice
in many countries, even in the southern part of the United States and in eastern
Australia.
No one really knows where rice came from. Some scientists think that it started to
grow in two places. They think that one kind of rice grew in southern Asia
thousands of years ago. Someone in Chine wrote about it almost 5000 years ago.
Another kind probably grew in West Africa. Other scientists think that rice came
from India, and Indian travelers took it to other parts of the world.
There are two main ways to grow rice. Upland rice grows in dry soil. Most
rice grows in wet soil. People in many countries do all of the work of growing rice
by hands. This is the same way farmers worked hundreds of years ago. In some
countries, people now use machines on their rice farms. The farmers all use
fertilizer. Some insects are enemies of rice. Farmers poison them. People use every
part of the rice plant. They make animal feed and rice oil from it. They also make
baskets, brooms, rugs, sandals, and roofs for their houses. They burn dry rice
plants in fires for cooking.

THE COFFEE PLANT
How many cups of coffee did you drink yesterday? Where did the coffee come
from? There is a good chance that your coffee came from one of these countries:
Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, or Ethiopia. These five countries
produce most of the coffee in the world. Brazil produces about half of the world’s
crop of coffee beans. The coffee plant is really a small tree with shiny leaves. A
coffee plant grows for about three years before it produces any fruit. After that, it
produces fruit for about 40 years. The coffee bean is the seed of the fruit.
It’s difficult to pick the coffee beans. Machines can’t do it well, so people pick
most of the coffee beans by hand. Workers typically pick between 20 and 40
pounds of coffee beans a day. The old way to grow coffee plants is under large
trees. The trees protect the coffee plant from the sun. The trees are also home to
many kinds of birds. On many modern farms, however, farmers cut down the trees.
They grow the coffee plants under the sun. Large farms can produce more coffee
this way. Unfortunately, the coffee plants on these farms need more water and
more fertilizer. And without the trees, the birds don’t have a place to live.

Music and Behavior
Where did you go yesterday? Did you hear music at any of those places? There is a
good chance that you did. Today most stores and restaurants play music. You
might even hear music in an office or on a farm. Scientists believe that music
affects the way people behave. According to some scientists, the sound of western
classical music (Mozart and Bach) makes people feel richer. When a restaurant
plays classical music, people spend more money on food and drinks. When the
restaurant plays modem music, people spend less money. With no background
music, people spend even less.
Scientists also believe that loud, fast music makes people eat faster. People
actually chew their food faster when the music gets faster. Some restaurants play
fast music during their busy hours. This gets people to eat faster and leave quickly.
Restaurants can make more money this way. Some scientists think that music
makes you think and learn better. They say that music helps students to be more
alert. It is true that people learn better when they are relaxed. And listening to
music can help you relax. The next time you hear music somewhere, be careful. It
might change the way you behave.

Family-Friendly Companies
In many families today, both the mother and the father have jobs outside the
home. This can make it difficult to take care of the children. To help, some
companies are changing the work rules. These companies are trying to be more
family-friendly. What are companies doing to become family-friendly? Many
companies are allowing their employees to work flexible hours. With flexible
hours, or flextime, people can work full time, but they don't have to work a nine-
to-five schedule. Some employees choose to come in early and leave early. Some
employees choose to work ten hours one day and six hours the next. Most
companies say that flexible hours increase productivity. In the United States, about
one-third of full-time employees have flexible work schedules.
Family-friendly companies also allow two employees to share one job. Each
employee does half the job and gets half the salary. In the United States, 27% of
companies offer some kind of job sharing. Many family-friendly companies also
give paid leave to both parents when a baby is born. In many countries, employers
have to give female workers time off before and after the birth of a child. In the
United States, for example, female employees get 12 weeks of unpaid time off.
New mothers can stay at home, but they don't get their salary. In some countries,
employers have to give all workers paid leave for the birth of a child. In Finland,
for example, both male and female employees get paid leave. Women get 105 days
of paid leave and men get 42! The way people work is changing. For many people,
that is a good thing.

Time Off
Amal works 45 hours a week. It takes him an hour to travel to work every day.
That means he spends 10 hours commuting each week. At home, Amal spends
about 23 hours a week doing work around the house. Of course, he needs to sleep
(56 hours a week) and prepare and eat meals (14 hours a week). So Amal has 20
hours of leisure. That is a typical amount of leisure time for someone in the United
States. What do people do in their leisure time? Obviously, watching television is a
popular free-time activity in many countries. Studies show that people are
watching more TV today than they did twenty years ago. That is probably because
there are many more TV channels today. People can choose programs from
hundreds of TV channels.
Computers are also changing the way people use their leisure time. Today people
are spending more time doing things on their computers. Surfing the Internet is
becoming another popular free-time activity. In fact, some employers are finding
that workers are skipping lunch to surf the Internet. More and more, people are
mixing their work time and play time. They talk on the telephone while they are
commuting to work. They read work papers while they are eating. They listen to
music while they are studying. Maybe this is why people believe that they have
less free time today.

A Giraffe in Central Asia
Tamerlane (1336?-1405) was a very strong Mongol leader. He and his soldiers
fought until Tamerlane became the ruler of all Central Asia. Rulers of other
countries wanted to make friends with Tamerlane. It was safer to be friends than
enemies. Ambassadors from many countries took gifts to Tamerlane. They took
beautiful cloth, jewelry, gold, and silver. They often tried to take something
unusual as a gift, too. In 1404, near the end of Tamerlane's life, an Egyptian
ambassador arrived in Samarkand. This was where Tamerlane lived. The
ambassador and his men traveled on horses and camels. They brought a giraffe
from Africa as a gift.
Egyptian camels and horses were used to walking in the desert. They did it all the
time. A giraffe is not used to the desert. But this giraffe walked 5,000 kilometers
from Cairo to Samarkand. We know about the Egyptian ambassador's gift because
several people wrote about it. No one wrote that Tamerlane liked it. However, we
suppose that he was very pleased to have this strange African animal in Central
Asia.

The lditarod
Every year in early March, dogs pull sleds in a race along the Iditarod Trail. This
trail is 1,770 kilometers long. It goes from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska. The
people who drive the dog teams are called "mushers." A musher is an adventurer.
Each musher races alone with a team of dogs. Some mushers are women. Susan
Butcher is a famous musher. She won the Iditarod race four times. Rick Swenson
won the race five times. Mushers are very brave to go on this adventure. The dogs
run across snow and ice pulling their sleds. Sometimes the mushers ride, and
sometimes they walk.
In 1991, Rick Swenson led his dogs through heavy snow in a bad storm. It was so
dark that no one could see. He fell to his knees and got up again. In 1990, Susan
Butcher's dogs got sick. Then they came to a river where there was water on top of
ice. They were very lucky that they didn't fall through the thin ice. No one could
live in the icy water below. At night, the mushers sleep in tents. In the morning,
they can see footprints of wild animals near the camp. Sometimes they have to
shoot at the wild animals to make them go away. The Iditarod race is very long,
dangerous, and cold. The mushers spend eleven or twelve days running this race.
The temperature can go down to -46°C (minus forty-six degrees Celsius). The dogs
and the mushers take care of each other during this adventure.

Sailing Alone
In 1996, Subaru Takahashi sailed alone across the Pacific Ocean. Many other
people did this before Subaru, but he was special. At age 14, he was the youngest
person to sail across the Pacific by himself. Subaru left Tokyo on July 22, 1996.
His boat was 30 feet (9 meters) long. In the boat he had a two-month supply of
food and water. He also had a radio and other modem equipment for sailing. The
beginning of the trip went very well. Subaru often talked to his parents by radio.
He didn't have any problems with his boat.
Then, on August 11, the engine in his boat quit. Suddenly, Subaru was without
electricity. This affected his navigation equipment. Then, five days later, his radio
quit. Now he wasn't able to communicate with anyone. And he was still 2,770
miles (4,490 kilometers) away from his destination San Francisco. By the end of
August, many people believed that Subaru was lost. No one was able to contact
him by radio. His parents expected him to arrive in San Francisco on September 3,
but he didn't. Then, on September 13, Subaru sailed into San Francisco. After 55
days in his boat, his trip was finally over. Many people believe that Subaru was too
young to sail alone. They say that parents shouldn't allow children to make such
dangerous trips. However, other people say that children should have adventures,
too. What do you think?
