Two of them work only to move blood (血液) to their heads and help move the waste out of their bodies. The third works to send blood to the other parts of the body. When an octopus swims, the heart stops beating (跳动). Swimming makes them feel tired. Hummingbirds (蜂鸟) Fly BackwardHummingbirds are the only birds that can fly backward (向后). Why is that? Most birds move their wings (翅膀) upward and downward. But hummingbirds’ wings move backward and forward. The birds are only 2 to 3 centimeters (厘米) in size and they can move their wings about 8 to 200 times a second (秒). Why Can’t Elephants Jump?Elephants are the only mammal (哺乳动物) that can’t jump. The bones (骨头) in elephants’ legs are so straight that they don’t have the “spring (弹簧)” to help them jump off the ground. It’s also because they don’t have to. They are very big and always live in groups to protect (保护) themselves. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 1．In which section of the newspaper can we read the news? A．NICE PHOTOS.

I recently talked with four American students. Caden Sorensen, Chandler Stark, Fatima Abdi and Noelani Velasco Polley, to get their thoughts on this question. In 2045, the kids think, humans will be able to live on Mars. They suggest that everyone should spend a few years on the red planet to give the Earth a “rest”. “And when we come back, we must try not to pollute as much.” says Stark. But Mars is not yet ready for human habitation (居住). The kids agree that immediate action must be taken to clean up the Earth. “It’s time to fix it now.” says Sorensen. “It’s not going to fix itself.” The kids do not just care about progress in space exploration. They are also interested in the future jobs. Stark hopes to compose (创作) music for TV shows one day. Abdi wants to be a business owner. Sorensen dreams about becoming a lawyer. Polley wants to be a scientist. “I don’t think there will be a lot of fast-food jobs,” says Abdi. She also thinks that everything is going to get a lot more expensive. “People will have to look for higher-paying jobs. ” Many jobs, the kids predict (预测), will be replaced by robots. “There’ll be no more factory jobs because robots can just do everything.” says Stark. But they believe the power to shape the future is in humans’ hands. “The world will be a better place, but of course, we need to work hard, and we all need to learn to be kind to others. ” 根据短文内容，回答问题。 1．In the kids’ opinion, where will humans be able to live in 2045? ___________________________________________________________ 2．What is Sorensen’s idea about the Earth? ___________________________________________________________ 3．Why does Stark say there will be no more factory jobs? ___________________________________________________________ 4．What do you think the world will look like in 2045?
