Do you remember a time during the past summer: after stepping outside, you immediately began to sweat(出汗). However, have you ever noticed any of the animals around you sweating?
In the animal kingdom,cold-blooded animals, such as reptiles(爬行动物),change their body temperature to match the surrounding temperature. During times of heat, you’ll find that reptiles stay under the shade(阴凉处)of rocks to cool down. In colder months, they might come out to enjoy the sunshine for several hours each day to raise their bodytemperature.
On the other hand,warm-blooded animals,like birds,keep their body temperature stable nomatterwhattheweathermaybelike. Thenormal body temperature for humans is around 37℃. If the weather is too hot or too cold,our body will make changes to itself to keep its temperature around 37℃. Warm-blooded animals have many different ways tocool down when the weather gets a little too hot. One of these methods is to sweat.
Primates(灵长类动物)like monkeys and humans sweat in the heat. Sweating is amethod by which the body changes its temperature. Sweat is produced by sweat glands(汗腺). It is soon evaporated(蒸发)off the skin,taking some of the heat from the body alongwith it.
In addition to primates, horses also use sweat to keep themselves cool. However,theirsweat is very different from that of humans.

Birdsong is powerful. It can calm and comfort people, bring joy and hope. It might even help with your homework. Birdsong is loudest in spring and summer, but you can enjoy its advantages all year round.
Birdsong is what we call the song of a bird. It sings to interest a partner or to protect its home. Although most birds make a sound, there is a group of birds called songbirds that are “expert singers”. These include blackbirds, nightingales (夜莺), blue tits (蓝山雀) and robins (知更鸟).
Research has shown that birdsong can be good for us. Dr. Eleanor found that some birdsong made people feel less stressed, and many people say listening to birdsong for five minutes a day could lift their feelings in winter. Birdsong connects humans to nature, which can be good for both mind and body. One opinion is that before humans lived in cities and towns, they spent more time in the wilderness (荒野). This developed a positive connection to birdsong. Another reason is that birdsong helps to draw people’s attention. Some say listening to birdsong while doing homework can help them think. “Birdsong can make us less stressed and improve our happiness.” Elaine Bradley tells reporters.
You can hear birdsong in a city street, a park, or even indoors through a window. “Simply enjoy, the different songs and understand the different tones (音调) and richness of sounds.” Bradley says.

Skateboarding makes me feel free, like I’m flying. When I’m in the air, it feels like I can do anything. I started skating when I was two or three, same with surfing. My dad built a mini-ramp in our backyard. He would skate every day after surfing. I would steal his board and play with it.
If I saw my dad doing a cool trick, I’d think “I want to try that.” I’d look it upon Youku and try to learn it. Now I just learn from my friends. It’s nice to skate with your friends because you can teach each other things. I never really thought, “I’m going to get so good at this.” I just got better and better and it happened naturally when I was seven. I’m 12 now.
It’s a great feeling, getting a new trick especially if it’s taken a long time to learn. You try it a thousand times and then one day, you finally land it. That’s the feeling I want. It’s what makes me keep trying new things. When I was eight, I became the first female skater to land a frontside 540.
Sometimes doing a trick can be scary. But I feel like that falling is just part of skateboarding. I like inspiring other girls to do what they want to do. I don’t want girls to think that boys can do things that they can’t. I want girls to think, “I can do it, because I’m a girl. If I can do it, so can they.”

European researchers say they have created a process that can produce oxygen from moon dust. The process could provide a major source of oxygen for humans taking part in moon exploration activities in the future. Researchers from the European Space Agency（ESA）carried out the experiments and reported their results in a study.
The team says ESA’s experimental “plant” was able to successfully produce oxygen from simulated moon dust. The dust is part of a material known as regolith, which holds about 45 percent oxygen. However, the oxygen’s form is very strange, so it is hard to produce.
ESA’s long -term goal is to design an oxygen -producing “pilot plant” to work fulltime on the moon. Beth Lomax of the University of Glasgow was a lead researcher on the project. “Being able to get oxygen from resources found on the moon would certainly be hugely useful for future lunar settlers,” she said.
The researchers reported that the process also produced some usable metal materials. ESA researcher Alexandre said the finding that a number of metals are left behind was an important discovery.
ESA and the U. S. space agency NASA are both working on plans to return human beings to the moon. NASA has set a goal for 2024, with the aim to keep humans on the moon for long periods.

B．By providing rocks for the production of minerals.

C．The form is uncommon. D．The weight is heavy.
