The Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans are the four oceans we learned about in the Geography class.But now we have a new ocean.
On World Ocean Day, which falls on June 8, the National Geographic Society announced it would recognize(承认)the Southern Ocean in Antarctica(南极洲).
Unlike the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans—which are defined by the continents(大陆)around them, the Southern Ocean is instead characterized by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current(南极绕极流).According to National Geographic, the Southern Ocean includes most of the waters surrounding Antarctica out to 60 degrees south latitude(纬度).
“It’s reported that it is the only ocean to touch three others and to completely embrace(包围)a continent rather than being embraced by several continents,” Sylvia Earle, an American biologist and oceanographer, told the Daily Mail.
Those familiar with the Southern Ocean know it’s unlike any other ocean.“Anyone who has been there will find it difficult to explain what’s so amazing about it, but they’ll all agree that the glaciers(冰川)are bluer, the air colder, the mountains more frightening and the landscapes more attractive than anywhere else you can go,” Seth Sykora-Bodie, a marine scientist, told National Geographic.
Because of the different environment of the Southern Ocean, it’s home to thousands of unique species(物种).The ocean also has wider ecological effects.For example, humpback whales are known to feed on small shrimp off Antarctica during the summer before moving north to the warmer climates of Central and South America for the colder winter months, according to the Daily Mail.
The National Geographic Society hopes their revised(修订过的)maps will help the public learn more about the area, and it helps to encourage Southern Ocean protection—but its importance is even beyond that.
“We think it’s very important from an educational standpoint to bring attention to the Southern Ocean as a fifth ocean,” Alex Tait, a geographer, told the Post.“So when students learn about parts.of the ocean world, they learn it’s an interconnected ocean, and they learn there are these areas called oceans that are really important, and that there’s a special one in the icy waters around Antarctica.”
1.We can learn about these oceans in the Geography class EXCEPT _________.
A.the Indian Ocean B.the Pacific Ocean
C.the Southern Ocean D.the Atlantic Ocean
2.Which of the following is TRUE
A.The Southern Ocean is embraced by the continents.
B.The Southern Ocean is much smaller than the others.
C.A continent is embraced by the Southern Ocean.
D.All the oceans are defined by the continents.
3What does the underlined word “unique” in the passage mean
A.Special. B.Common. C.Interesting. D.Ancient.
4.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph
A.It’s important to learn about the Southern Ocean.
B.It’s important to know that there are five oceans.
C.It’s necessary to mark the Southern Ocean on the map.
D.It’s important and necessary to protect all the oceans.

They are drawing the attention of the world.They are the backbone of the force that is going to shape our future.Who are they They are the young generation (一代) who were born after 2000.This year, several young athletes have shone successfully at the Beijing Winter Olympics through their hard work, giving us a glimpse (一瞥) of their generation’s nature.
It is clear that the young generation is filled with “brave fighters” who want to challenge (挑战) impossibilities.Freestyle skier Gu Ailing is one of them.“I have never done the ‘left 16’ before.I hadn’t prepared much for it except two days on the air bag,” Gu told China Daily, “but I felt it was a chance to push myself to the limit.” For these young athletes, sport is never just to get scores, but also to have as much fun as possible.
Born in the US, Gu faced criticism (指责) for representing China in the Beijing Winter Olympics.When questioned by The Guardian, the girl said directly that she wasn’t trying to make everyone happy.“I’m an 18-year-old girl out here living my best life.I’m having a great time,” Gu said, “It doesn’t really matter whether other people are happy or not, because I feel I’m doing my best and I’m happy in the whole process.”
Gu’s good friend, Chinese snowboarder Su Yiming also thinks so.He takes sports as a way to have fun.Though he was judged (判定) to have lost the gold to Canadian athlete Max Parrot in the men’s slopestyle final, the 17-year-old didn’t feel upset.He said he was happy to compete with his idol.Su told China Daily.“All I did today was to enjoy the runs and focus on my tricks.As long as I am on my snowboard, I am happy.”
This is young generation that dares to push the limits but also enjoys life.

阅读下面短文,根据所读内容,在文章下面表格的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
Stepping into a bookstore, you might notice shelves labelled (标注着) “self-help”.You may not know what these books are about.In fact, more people are turning to self-help books for advice these days.You can’t imagine (想象) that sales of these books in the UK reached about three million last year.
Self-help books are usually written by some famous writers, psychologists (心理学家) or successful businessmen.They teach you what to do when you have problems in your life—for example, how to get along with your classmates or coworkers, how to manage your time well or how to find happiness.
Paul Sweetman, the owner of City Books in the UK, said the social environment might be one reason why more people are reading self-help books.Recently, the social environment has become more and more stressful (有压力的) .“Some people come into the bookstore because they’re really tired of things.They’re looking for something relaxing to calm themselves, “Paul said.Besides, younger readers—such as people born after 2000—seem to understand their own problems better, according to British psychologist Caroline Beaton.This means they’re more willing to improve themselves by reading self-help books.
Self-help books were something people laughed at in the past.Many people didn’t take chicken soup stories or “success theory” books seriously.But now they’re becoming increasingly attractive (有吸引力的) to people.
From my point of view, whatever the reason for the growing interest in self-help books is, it’s good to know that help is at hand if we need it.But do these books truly help us Read one and find out.

Our School Labour Week
Labour education is really important.In order to encourage students to love labour and help others, we had a very special School Labour Week last Friday.
Our class were divided into 5 groups to do different jobs.Some cleaned the windows, some watered the plants, and others helped our teachers mop the floor.At home, we did the dishes and cleaned the table after dinner.We also gave our neighbours a helping hand, such as carrying bags for the elderly.
Being volunteers not only makes us feel proud, but also helps develop the life skills.As middle school students, it is meaningful for us to take part in such activities.
