a tennis game.That was our usual weekend activity,but a surprise was waiting for us.In our yard,
we saw two adult geese and a small baby goose.The adults were startled by our return and flew
away,but their baby was still too young to fly and couldn't follow.We were no strangers to the ways
of wild animals,so we knew we should avoid touching the baby goose,or it would stay with us and
be lost to its family forever.Hours passed,and night fell.It became very cold.At that point,we knew
we had to help and we brought him into our house.
We all pretty much slept with one eye open until morning came,and then another moming,and
still another.Each morning,we would try to drive the goose over to his parents,who kept coming
back to our yard.He wouldn't go to them,and they wouldn't come close enough to take him back.
My sister Joanna decided to call the little guy Peeper,because he would follow us around the yard
making a peeping(唧聊叫)noise without stopping.

When You Eat a Pineapple,the Pineapple Eats You?
Now,don't be afraid.This question is not about a pineapple monster that eats people.In fact,
the common pineapple sold in supermarkets can"eat"a little bit of you.
When you eat something,your stomach breaks down its large molecules (into smaller
ones.In the same way,pineapples can"eat"you by breaking down the molecules.
Pineapples have certain enzymes(酶)that can break down proteins(蛋白质),.To understand
this better,you can imagine a pearl necklace.Many smaller molecules--the pearls--come together to
form the long necklace of a protein.You can cut a necklace with a pair of scissors.In the same way,
the enzymes in pineapples"cut up"proteins.
Proteins are an important part of the cells in your body.If an enzyme can break down a protein,
it has the ability to damage cells.When you eat pineapple,the enzymes in it will"eat"the cells of
your tongue.This is why your mouth will hurt if you eat too much pineapple.But luckily,the cells in
your tongue will be well fast.And after you have eaten the pineapple,the special enzymes will end
七年级英语共8页本页第5页
up getting broken down by your stomach.It won't"eat"you anymore.
Why does pineapple have these enzymes?Some scientists believe that they are created by the
plant to prevent animals from eating its immature fruits.Once the fruit is mature,its
enzymes won't hurt an animal's tongue and the fruit will be okay to eat.Another explanation is that
the enzymes help the seed to mature.They send messages about when to start and stop growing to
the cells of the plant.
