Now you can have polar bears as pen friends. First you need to
find one, then tranquilize (麻醉) 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
作文700字tranquilizers? —and admittedly a one-sided correspondence, but soon they’ll be nding messages daily.
Every morning, Jon Aars, a nior rearcher at the Norwegian
Polar Institute, receives a bunch of emails from veral 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 nds 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 a ice is melting. Several al species—polar bears’ main food—rely on a ice, and more often than not, so do polar bears. As a result, polar bears will spend more time on land and look for different options. Aars explains. “They hunt reindeer and they will take more birds and eggs. We have en that bears are in different areas than they ud to be—so much further north.”
The collar can also record body temperature, which can tell scientists if a bear has moved inside a habitat—an indication that 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
ud to go to give birth to cubs (幼兽) 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 rearch could reveal how to help his pen friends hold out a little longer. “Changes are so significant and so fast;
we will reach some stage in the future where it will get much harder

Palaces are known for their beauty and splendor, but they offer little protection against attacks. It is easy to defend a fortress (要塞), but usually fortress are not designed with the comfort of a king in mind. When it comes to structures that are both beautiful and defensive,the European castle is a big success.
Castles were originally built in England by the Normans in 1066. They built towers and walls to cure the land they had taken. The castles provided the Normans with a quiet and safe place. They also rved as bas of operation for attacks. In this way castles rved both defensive and offensive roles. Besides, castles rved as
offices for governors. Tho that were socially beneath the governor would come to report affairs and express their respect. They would address problems, handle business, feast, and enjoy festivities in castles. So castles rved as social centers as well.
The first castles were made from earth and wood, and they were likely to suffer from attacks by fire. Then wooden castles were gradually replaced by stone, which greatly incread the strength of the towers and walls. However, attackers could throw flaming
objects into castles through the windows or burn the wooden doors. This led to moving the windows and entrances off the ground floor and up to the first floor to make them more difficult to access.
草字头召During the Middle Ages, attacks incread in regularity, so
castle defens were updated. Arrow-slits were added. They were small holes in the castle, which all
owed defenders to fire without being hurt. Towers were built from which defenders could provide fire on both sides. The towers were connected to the castle by wooden bridges, so that if one tower fell, the rest of the castle was still easy to defend. A lot of rings of castle walls were constructed, so that even if attackers went past one wall, they would be caught on a killing ground between inner and outer walls. All of the incread the defen of castles.
