Thirteen years ago, the Planet Earth wildlife documentary took us all on an amazing journey. We went from deep rainforests to the bottom of the ocean. Now a new one ,Our Planet, will let us see different animals and the influence of humans on the natural world. The documentary covers 50 countries and areas. It took more than four years to produce it.
With the latest 4K video technology, the show allows people a wonderful new look at nature. "People are given a chance to better get themselves into the lives of the animals” said Fothergill, one of the show s producers.
Besides showing Earth’s beauty, the documentary also talks about the planet's climate conditions. "Our Planet is here to say,' The planet is dying, and we're killing it.’" Fothergill said. In one sad scene, hundreds of walruses(海象),half-blind when out of the water, fall down a rock and suffer a painful death on the beach below. It shows how the climate conditions have influenced their natural habitat and explains why they've been forced to find the safe place on the rocks.
But the documentary is not all about sadness. It also talks about success stories, such as the ones of tigers. These animals are saved and live happily thanks to international agreements on environmental protection.
Asking more people to take action in protecting our planet is the final goal of the new documentary. What we do in the next 20 years will decide the future of all life on Earth.

【推荐1】CHINADAILY—In 2011, scientists moved eight Rothschild's giraffes to Longicharo Island. They hoped it would save the endangered animals from hunters and allow their numbers to increase. However, the large amount of rain in August 2020 caused the lake water level to rise, cutting the area off from the mainland and reducing the once 100-acre habitat to about 8 acres, which made it necessary to relocate(转移)the animals to a safer habitat.
In December 2020, the rescuers teamed up with UK -based non-profit organization Save Giraffes Now to construct a barge(驳船), which is designed and built specifically to carry tall, heavy giraffes. It floats atop a series of empty drums with its sides made higher to keep the animals from jumping out as the barge was gently pulled by boats.
Their first giraffe to be saved was Asiwa, who was trapped alone with no food sources. However, making the gentle giant get on the barge was not easy. The giraffes don't know that you're trying to help them," O'Connor, president of Save Giraffes Now, says. "They think you'll hurt them. So they're really trying to work against you, which makes it even harder."
After several attempts to lead Asiwa on board the barge with treats failed, the scientists had no choice but to sedate(注射镇定剂)her. While it's often used to transport large animals, it is not the preferred method for giraffes since the change in blood pressure could damage their brains.
To prevent any accidents, the rescuers gave the giraffe a light sedative and then quickly guided her onto the barge. To ensure Asiwa would not frighten, they covered her head with a hood and put socks in her ears to block out sound. "The wonderful part was watching her gently walk off the boat once the hood was removed as if nothing had happened," said photographer Ami Vitale.
Weather permitting, the rescuers hope to relocate the island's remaining seven giraffes by March 2021 to the 44, 000-acre Ruko Community Wildlife Conservancy. Once we rescue them, that's not the end of it," O'Connor says. "That's actually just the beginning of trying to repopulate the entire Western Rift Valley with this type of giraffe, where they became locally extinct 70 years ago."

【推荐3】From climbing a human ladder to swimming with the crocodiles(鳄鱼), there's nothing this Spanish botanist wouldn't do in the name of plants.
Carlos Magdalena the Spanish botanist tried to ignore the "Crocodile Danger" sign as he walked into the lagoon. Based in the hot houses and labs of London’s Kew Gardens, he thought he’d spotted a new waterlily species and it wouldn’t be the first time he’d risked his life doing his job. His mission is to save the world’s most endangered plants. As well as Harrison Ford’s film character, the great gardener is also known as the Messiah, the Code Breaker and the Plant Whisperer. He’s suffered dehydration in the planet’s largest desert, driven through rivers to reach an uncommon vegetation and experienced sickness in the Peruvian Andes, where he climbed a human ladder next to a towering drop to reach a rare flower.
“Directly or indirectly plants provide the air we breathe, medicines, clothes, shelter, food and drink,” he says in a firm voice. “Without them we wouldn't be here. It’s as simple as that.”
Carlos grew up rolling the peaks and valleys of northern Spain in search of natural wonders but quickly learned all was not well.
There are some 400,000 plant species, with many more waiting to be discovered, and it’s estimated that a quarter of them are facing dangers of dying out. “They need our help and we should use whatever means possible to ensure their survival.”
Often peering into microscope late into night, Carlos marked himself out in the botanic world. Before long he came to understand that plants have a way of talking and to understand their needs, you had to listen to them. His work was daunting(令人怯步的) but he eventually triumphed. “It was like scoring the winning goal in a World Cup final,” he says.

【推荐1】Popular TV drama The Longest Day in Chang’an, which was shot in the ancient Chinese city of Xi’an in Shaanxi province, has made the city a tourist hot spot. Thousands of tourists have been flooding into this city to experience the magnificence and glory of its scenic spots that have been portrayed in a fascinating manner in the TV series.
“In the first week of this month, online enquiries about flight ticket bookings to Xi’an recorded a 130-percent year-on-year peak,” said Ctrip, China’s largest online travel agency. “Xi’an had been a hot tourist destination long before the TV drama became popular. The series portray the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty of Xi’an. This had made the city even more popular. The media exposure makes those sites attractive choices for vacations,” said a senior director at Ctrip.
It’s not just Xi’an that is gaining the benefits of exposure via mass media contents. Suzhou, Chongqing and Bayanbulak Grassland have also become go-to destinations for domestic tourists as films such as Pegasus and TV dramas such as All Is Well were set or shot there.
This trend of Chinese tourists flooding into places featured in entertainment is extending to even destinations abroad. Southeastern European country Croatia has benefited from the popular Game of Thrones series. In fact, the “Game of Thrones effect” on Croatian tourism and the nation’s economy has been significant, following the screening of the drama over the past eight years. Thailand, Japan, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic and Iceland have shone as tourist destinations among Chinese travelers, especially the younger lot, thanks to films and TV dramas that were shot there, Ctrip found.
Those born in the 1980s account for 32 percent of Chinese travelers. Those born in the 1990s and 2000s make up 27 percent and 13 percent, respectively, according to Ctrip. “They are the main viewers of some popular show. They pay attention to the beautiful scenery as highlighted in entertainment shows. Combined with the impact of top stars in such shows, their fans would like to go on trips to those places. Some even travel while shoots at such places are on.”

【推荐2】The TV series, The Longest Day in Chang’an, which was shown on Chinese online platforms last summer, became a hit soon. Since then, it has been shown on partnering streaming platforms and TV networks abroad. Some websites overseas also offered the program to their users paying for it—the first time a Chinese series was broadcast as paid content abroad.
“I was amazed by the overseas audience’s love of this show,” Cao Dun, director of The Longest Day in Chang an, told Beijing Review. “I was worried that they wouldn’t understand the complex political structure of the Tang Dynasty. But in fact, the show is prompting foreign audiences to Research the history of the Tang Dynasty to better understand the plot.”
The unique culture in ancient China is no a barrier but a bridge to connect with foreign audiences. In the TV series, every figure is given enough space to flesh out his or her character.
Telling stories of the ordinary Chinese people that resonate (引起共鸣) with the audience might be the way to communicate with the world. “The success of the TV series shows that beauty is a universal language crossing borders,” he told Beijing Review.
His ambition is to distinguish Chinese dramas from the TV shows in the rest of the world. “The TV series is a step in my plan to tell Chinese stories to the world,” Cao said. “After describing the impressive beauty of the Tang dynasty, I am looking for several plays that tell stories of today’s China. I don’t want to copy any country’s production. Chinese dramas have to build on our rich culture and Chinese people’s everyday life.’ Cao added. .

【推荐3】You might have been told before that watching American TV series is a good way to improve your English. The show Friends is one of the most commonly suggested shows for English students.
Friends is a classic American situation comedy, or sitcom for short. Ever since its first episode (集) aired in 1994, it has been one of the most popular sitcoms. What has made the show so popular?
Its humor is, of course, the main reason. Sitcoms like Friends are full of lighthearted and funny jokes. According to research done by American TV blogger Talib Visram, the number of jokes in popular US sitcoms ranges from 3.4 to 7.4 per minute. Friends takes a moderate pace and has 6 jokes per minute. This pace of humor keeps the audience relaxed, but also fully involved in the show.
When you laugh at the jokes, you might hear people laughing along with you on the show.
This is another special feature of sitcoms — the laugh track (音轨). Dating back to the 1940s, the laugh track aims to create a theater experience at home. This makes the show even more interesting — when others laugh, we want to laugh too.
But sitcoms are not only about jokes and laughs. As American writer Ken Sanes said, sitcoms are often about the small matters of daily life and every character is as real as we are. They have fears, desires and foolish emotions, and also do crazy things. The weaknesses they show help us relate to them.
“Sitcoms give us permission to move beyond the idealized images of ourselves and the world,” as Sanes wrote. “They give us permission to be imperfect.”
How sitcoms change our language?
Sitcoms influence people on a cultural level. One way they do this is through language. Many sitcom characters have their own catchphrases (流行语). When they become popular, they can change the way people talk in real life.
1. Friends is popular among people mainly because ?A.it brings people laughter and relaxation |

【推荐1】Before the end of the year, employees at Ubiquitous Energy, a company in Redwood City, Calif, will gather in a window-lined conference room to stare toward the future. That’s because their new glass windows will offer more than an amazing view of the mountains and blue skies of the North California landscape. They will also function as solar panels (太阳能电池板), able to power the company’s lights, computers and air conditioners.
Several years in the making, Ubiquitous’ energy-producing glass is a great technological achievement whose power lies in the layers of organic polymers (聚合物) between sheets of glass. As light enters the window, the flow of electrons between the polymer layers creates an electric current, which is then collected by tiny wires in the glass.
“It’s sort of like a transparent (透明的) computer display run backwards,” says Veeral Hardev, director of business development at Ubiquitous Energy. “That is, instead of electricity being sent to different points in a display to light them up, light is producing electricity to be sent out of different points in the window.”
Right now the windows produce about a third as much electricity from a given amount of sunlight as the typical solar batteries used in roof panels (板), and these windows, about half as transparent as ordinary glass, don’t work as well as transparent ones. But those standards are already enough to make the windows a promising product, says Hardev, adding the company is likely to improve the transparency significantly. As for the lower output of electricity, he notes that windows can cover a much greater surface area than a roof, so numerous windows will produce a surprisingly larger amount of electricity than the production from a rooftop full of higher-efficiency solar panels. “You could do both.” says Hardev. “But you’ll get more from the windows. The biggest challenge, he adds, is to make the windows from less than two square feet currently to about 50 square feet.”

【推荐3】An international team of researchers from the University of Ox ford have found that the way people use the Internet is closely tied to seasonal movements in the natural world. Their online species searches follow the patterns of seasonal animal migration.
Migratory birds flood back to where they reproduce (繁殖) each spring. That migratory behavior is accompanied by some human behavior. “The online searches for migratory species tend to increase in spring when those birds arrive in the United States,” said the lead author John Mittermeier.
And not just birds. Mittermeier and his team surveyed nearly 2.5 billion search records, for 32,000 species, across 245 languages. They also saw variable search rates for insects and flowering plants. Seasonal trends seemed to be widespread in online searching behavior for many species of plants and animals.
This finding suggests new ways to monitor changes in the world’s biological diversity. It also shows new ways to see how much people care about nature, and which species and areas might be the most effective targets for protection.
Mittermeier is encouraged by the search results. He commented, “I think there’s a concern among conservationists (环保主义者) that people are losing touch with the natural world and that they are not interacting with native species anymore. And so in that sense, it was really exciting and quite unexpected for me to see people’s interest closely related to changes in nature.”
Richard Grenyer says search data is useful to conservation biologists, “By using these big data approaches, we can direct our attention towards the difficult questions in modern conservation: which species and areas are changing and where are the people who care the most and can do the most to help.”

As it happened,the bite was virtually painless:more the kind of small bite you might get from a naughty child.The pony responsible was queuing up for some ice cream in the car park near Haytor,and perhaps thought I’d jumped in ahead of him.
The reason why the ponies here are naughty is that Haytor is a tourist-heavy area and tourists are constantly feeding the ponies foods,despite signs asking them not to.By feeding the ponies,tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car,and make them harder to gather during the area’s annual pony drift(迁移).
The purpose of a pony drift is to gather them up so their health can be checked,the baby ones can be stopped from feeding on their mothers’ milk,and those who’ve gone beyond their limited area can be returned to their correct area.Some of them are also later sold,in order to limit the number of ponies according to the rules set by Natural England.
Three weeks ago,I witnessed a small near-disaster a few miles west of here.While walking,I noticed a pony roll over on his back.“Hello!”I said to him,assuming he was just rolling for fun,but he was very still and,as I got closer,I saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily.I began to properly worry about him.Fortunately,I managed to get in touch with a Dartmoor’s Livestock Protection officer and send her a photo.The officer immediately sent a local farmer out to check on the pony.The pony had actually been trapped between two rocks.The farmer freed him,and he began to run happily around again.
Dartmoor has 1,000 or so ponies,who play a critical role in creating the diversity of species in this area.Many people are working hard to preserve these ponies,and trying to come up with plans to find a sustainable(可持续的)future for one of Dartmoor’s most financially-troubled elements.

【推荐2】On the last Monday in May, people in the United States celebrate Memorial Day. This federal holiday honors members of the American military who died at war. Schools and government offices close. Most people in the US have this day off from work. People celebrate Memorial Day with outdoor parades.
Most Americans consider it the start of summer though the season really begins in June. With so many people off work, Memorial Day has also become a popular shopping day. However, on most occasions Memorial Day is a serious and even sorrowful holiday. Those who have lost family members at war visit burial sites to decorate the graves. They place flowers, wreaths and US flags on the graves.
Memorial Day comes from a tradition that began after the US Civil War called Decoration Day. The Civil War was a very dark time in the US history. Historians have long thought that about 620,000 soldiers died in the fighting. However, new research suggests that the dead numbered about 750,000.
In 1868, about 5,000 people gathered at Arlington National Cemetery on the edge of Washington, D. C. They decorated more than 10,000 graves of Union and Confederate soldiers. They called it Decoration Day. bone
The tradition spread to other areas of the country. In 1873, New York State called it Memorial Day and was the first to make it a legal-holiday. Other States allowed, but not all. Some southern states had (and-still have) separate celebrations that honor only dead Confederate soldiers.
After World War I ended in 1918, Memorial Day became a day to honor all American soldiers killed at war. In 1971, Congress passed a law making it an official federal holiday all over America.

If you are arriving at London Heathrow Airport and are not transferring another flight outside Britain or Northern Ireland, you must pass through Passport Control and Customs immediately after leaving your plane. If you are not British or a citizen of the European Community, you must fill out a special form before your passport is examined. This form is called a landing card and should be given to you during the flight to London. After landing, follow the ARRIVALS signs. Make sure you are in the right channel when you reach Passport Control. There is one channel for holders of European Community passports, and a second channel marked “Other Passports”.
Baggage Reclaim Area
After passing through Passport Control, follow the signs to the Baggage Reclaim Area. If you have luggage which was carried in the aircraft along with other cargo, it will be delivered to you in the Baggage Reclaim Area. Look for the sign with your flight number. If you have only hand luggage, go directly through the Baggage Reclaim Area to Customs.
Customs
All passengers must pass through Customs after Passport Control. There is a choice of two channels, Green and Red. If you have nothing to declare, go through the Green Channel. If you are not sure about your Duty Free allowances, or if you have something to declare, go through the Red Channel. Information about Duty Free allowances can be found on special notice-boards in the Baggage Reclaim Area. You should study this information carefully whether you are going through the Red Channel or not. Please note that if you go through the Green Channel, you may be stopped and asked to open your luggage for inspection.
