People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if
these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have
done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says
that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to
its calls.

The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl,
sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or
insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food
behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds,
known as food calls. When there wasn't food, the chickens made low
and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all
these sounds and studied their waves.

Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises.
Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the
chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers.
Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the
chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no
experience of taking care of chickens.

The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand
the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new
technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many
countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer
program that can identify chickens' feelings. This is good news for
farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier.

The French artist Georges Seurat created many paintings in his
short lifetime, among which A Sunday Afternoon on the lle de la
Grande Jatte is the most famous one. People are attracted by this
painting for three reasons.
First, Seurat created this painting in a new way called
“pointillism(点彩画法)”, which used small points of paint. By putting
two colours next to each other,people could see a third colour.

Second, this painting is full of details(细节) about French life in
the 1880s. There are several women wearing nice clothes and carrying
parasols(遮阳伞). One woman is even walking a monkey. Others are
enjoying themselves dancing and singing. Many of the men are dressed
up with jackets and hats. And we can see dogs running around and
children playing. There are boats on the water. It looks like a perfect
summer day.

Third, this painting makes people feel very calm. Even though a
park like this could be a noisy place,Seurat makes it feel peaceful. He
paints people sitting quietly in the shade(阴凉处). There is a girl
smelling the flowers. She looks so beautiful. People in the painting are
relaxing themselves on the cool, green grass and enjoying a beautiful
day.

It took Seurat two years to finish this beautiful painting. People
are thankful that he completed it. It is a very peculiar painting because

feeling he created. In a word, there are so many people who like this

②Organize a clean-up program. People often throw litter in the
place where there is already litter. This leaves the community in a mess.
The environment will become better if someone volunteers to help. You
could pick up the rubbish with your friends once a week in your
neighborhood. You could also help take care of the plants every few
days. Surely, a clean and tidy neighborhood will be worth the work.

③Show your love to the old. Our city has some old people's
homes. Without children around them, the old people there might feel
lonely once in a while. Maybe they need your help. In fact, you can
do a lot for them. For example, you can talk with them or play games
with them. Listening to them carefully is also a good idea. Some old
people can't see clearly and they would like you to read to them. No
matter what small things you do, you can make them feel loved.

④Set up a reading project with your friends. Share your favourite
books with them. Besides, you may read aloud to each other and talk
about what you read. Either a book or an article can spark a lively
discussion and your further thinking. The process often challenges more
people to take action. The project is also a good way to welcome
newcomers. At the same time, you may find new friends with similar
hobbies.

Not too long ago, 41-year-old Garrett Fisher flew in a small
airplane close to Europe's largest glacier(冰川) in Norway. It is a
country in Northern Europe. Fisher tried to take photos of every glacier
on the earth. He wanted his photos to show the beauty of glaciers
before some of them disappeared.

Scientists say compared with the last few years, the earth's
temperature is going up. So many glaciers are melting(融化) or
getting smaller. The European Environmental Agency said that by 2100,
the size of European glaciers could get smaller by between 22% and
84%. It will be a dreadful thing to people because the rising sea level
will cause a lot of accidents. For Fisher, the melting pushed him to try
to photograph the glaciers before it was too late.

When he was a child, Fisher lived next door to a small airport in
New York. Fisher's grandfather was a pilot. He took Fisher on plane
rides when he was a young child. His grandfather once told him,
“Whatever you set your mind to, you can do.” Even though Fisher
couldn't understand these words at that time, he still kept them in mind.
When he grew up, these words encouraged Fisher to do what he would
like to do.

These days, we easily feel stressed as we need to do lots of work
every day. It's important to know how to solve problems and find ways
to relax.
We should try organizing our problems from most important to
least important as well as most urgent(紧急的) to least urgent. If
some problems are both important and urgent, such as studying for a
next-day test, do those tasks first. Once those are done, work on things
that are important but not urgent, such as preparing for the final exams.

From there, we can work on problems that are less important.
Organizing our work this way helps a lot in knowing what to do first
and not worrying about the rest.
Sometimes we feel stressed because we are not able to complete
the task by ourselves. It's better to ask someone for help. If we stick
to doing these tasks ourselves, it can make us more stressed and upset.
Open your mouth bravely, and someone must give you a hand.
Still, sometimes we don't feel relaxed even after organizing our
work well. That's okay. We can try to plan some exercise in our daily

life. It doesn't even have to be a big trip to the gym, although that
surely helps. It could be something as small as walking around the
neighborhood for 10 minutes. Also, we can try different activities
together with our family members or friends.
We can try meditation(冥想). Again, this does not need to be
anything special. Just set aside 10 to 20 minutes with a timer, sit
upright, close your eyes, and focus only on breathing. If other ideas
come up, accept that they are there and let them fall away on their
own.
By trying these steps, we will go a long way toward feeling
relaxed and peaceful when finishing all of the work.

After 10 years of difficult talks, nearly 200 countries agreed to a
new United Nations(UN) agreement to protect the world's oceans.
The agreement has been the first of its kind in 40 years. It plans to
protect 30% of the open oceans by 2030.
Oceans cover about 71% of the Earth's surface and are home to
hundreds of thousands of different kinds of animals and plants. ▲ But
the oceans are in trouble. Overfishing(捕捞过度) has had a terrible

effect on many kinds of fish and other animals. Pollution from ships
and other places has caused serious problems. In 1982, an agreement
described the “high seas(公海)”, but it did not protect them. In these
areas, all countries have the right to fish, send ships, and do research.
The high seas cover about two-thirds of the ocean. But now people
only protect 1.2% of the areas.

Last December, over 110 countries agreed to protect 30% of their
land and ocean areas by 2030. Without an international agreement, there
was no way to make this goal meaningful for the whole ocean. The
new agreement now makes this feasible.
The new agreement tries to turn 30% of the high seas into
protected areas by 2030. It also says that activities planned for the high
seas must first be examined to see what kind of influences they might
have on the ocean environment. Businesses in some countries hope to

make a lot of money by getting valuable things from the bottom of the
sea. Other businesses hope to find plants or animals in the ocean that
could lead to new discoveries and new medicines.
Many of the disagreements were about how valuable things would
be shared between rich countries and poor ones. Poor countries wanted
to make sure that the valuable things would help everyone, not just
people in rich countries.
