21、Now you can have polar bears as pen friends. First you need to find one, then tranquilize it and quickly give it the necessary tools before it wakes up. It’s an awkward first encounter — how many friendships do you know that start with tranquilizers? — and admittedly a one-sided correspondence, but soon they’ll be sending messages daily.

Every morning, Jon Aars, a senior researcher at the Nowegian Polar Institute, receives a bunch of emails from several female polar bears, letting him know where they are. Each year, Aars and his colleagues fit around 70 polar bears with a tracking collar which continuously logs movement. Once a day the collar makes a satellite call, sending the last 24 hours of data back to the Institute. “Data about movement has been very important to understand how they might respond to climate change,” Aars explains.

A warming climate means a vast amount of sea ice is melting. Several seal species — polar bears’ main food — rely on sea ice, and more often than not, where sea ice can be found, so too can polar bears. But these creatures are being forced to move. “We have seen that bears are in different areas than they used to be -so much further north,” Aars explains.

The collar can also record body temperature, which can tell scientists if a bear has moved inside a habitat-an indication the animal is going to give birth. Sea ice loss is also having an impact on where polar bears are born. “Important areas that they used to go to give birth to cubs are more or less lost,” says Aars. “Bears are now swimming as far as 200 kilometers to reach an island habitat,” he adds, “something they did not need to do 20 years ago.”

Aars hopes his research could reveal how to help his pen friends hold out a little longer. “What is important for us is that all this data tells us how they will respond in the future,” he adds.

23、China’s top animator Tian Xiaopeng and his animation studio announced that they will be producing the much-anticipated live action film, The Three-Body Problem, based on the award-winning sci-fi novel by Chinese writer Liu Cixin.

Tian created China’s 3-D animation milestone Monkey King: Hero Is Back in 2015. It grossed (获利) 956 million yuan in China, becoming the highest-grossing Chinese animation in the country’s film history at that time. It had held the record until 2019 when it got broken by Coloroom Pictures Ne Zha that grossed more than five billion yuan.

Book fans of The Three-Body Problem had mixed reactions after hearing about Tian’s involvement. Some expressed doubt about a studio that specializes in animation making a live-action movie. Others also argued that the universe described in the novel is too big and complicated for any filmmakers to portray on big screens. But some seemed optimistic about the new adaption, noting the impressive track record of Tian’s previous works.

The book series talks about how human beings respond to alien invasion. It was published in China between 2006 and 2010, and sold more than one million copies. The first book in the series was awarded the Chinese Science Fiction Galaxy Award in 2006. In 2014, an English translation of the first book by Chinese-American author Ken Liu, titled The Three-Body Problem, was published. A year later, Liu Cixin became the first Asian author to win the Hugo Award, the highest honor in science fiction and fantasy writing.

The book series has developed various art and entertainment forms, including stage dramas and radio shows. During Spring Festival in 2019, Guo Fan’s The Wandering Earth, a film also based on a novel by Liu Cixin, had made over 4.6 billion yuan at the box office domestically. It ignited huge public interest in the film project of The Three-Body Problem.

24、Holidays and small ovens can bake up memories

Anyone will tell you that, aside from the people, the best part of any holiday is the food, Thanksgiving turkeys, Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes, Fourth of July BBQ, Dragon Boat festival zongzi. 【1】 It’s not a Christmas party without a platter of at least three different types of cookies. Frosted sugar cookies, chocolate crinkles and spiced molasses are among my Christmas favorites.

Families spend days making cookies. It’s akin (相似的) to stuffing and crimping dumplings. 【2】 Gathering everyone around the table to help out and chat is a delightful way to get into the holiday spirit. Whether living in a full house or as a single, I’ve always enjoyed baking and found it calming.

The challenge of baking in China is that a critical component is often missing, an oven. Chinese cuisine is impressively diverse and the need for an oven never seems to have arisen, the majority of apartments are, understandably, without oven, Here’s where foreigners, if they haven’t done already, quickly learn to use Taobao and buy themselves a toaster oven. This is an excellent kitchen addition, though they are significantly smaller than a standard oven. 【3】

Holiday baking challenges in China don’t end there, however. Imagine it’s Christmas Eve. You’ve rented a house with friends or gathered at someone’s large apartment. You’re preparing your Christmas feast! But there’s only one oven. And it’s a third the size of a conventional oven. 【4】 With larger ovens at home where you can toss a couple of casseroles and a ham all in there together, you now have to bake in batches. The process takes roughly-all day.

【5】. There are always games, songs and laughs to be had in the kitchen and though the baking strategy system might cause some scheduling conflicts, at the end of the day, if you’re with the people you love, it’s all worth it. Happy holidays to you and yours!

A．For Christmas, cookies are king!

B．It’s not too difficult, just takes time.

C．This is one instance where size does matter.

D．It is convenient for people to bake in the kitchen.

E．It also means that holiday baking time is doubled.

F．It is a wonderful time for families to get together to enjoy themselves.

G．Despite all these adjustments, holiday baking is a joyous time to gather together and make memories.
