How do you greet your friends? People from different cultures may have different answers: shaking hands, nodding, kissing...But have you ever wondered how animals “say hello” to others?
We know how similar chimpanzees (黑猩猩) are to humans. It’s no surprise that their greetings are also close to ours. Chimpanzees usually greet each other with a hand touch, a hug or sometimes a kiss. Some of them can also communicate through simple sign language (手语).
Some animals seldom make loud sounds, for example, giraffes. Male giraffes often use their necks to greet each other. Their necks can reach up to two meters. When two giraffes meet, they may “shake” their necks and rub (摩擦) them against each other. This is to feel how strong and tall the other is.
Dolphins greet one another with whistles (哨叫声). They can hear other dolphins from many kilometers away. Every dolphin has a different whistle. It tells information about the dolphin, such as its age and health. When two groups of dolphins meet, they each choose a member of the other group to “talk” to. The two groups can then join up and travel together.

【推荐3】Scientists think that many animals cannot see colors. The world is black and white to them. Scientists want to find out if dogs can see colors.

How are you? Right now I’m watching the weather report on TV. It says it will snow in Beijing. But it’s summer in Australia now! Our summer is in December, January and February. It’s really hot now. I like summer because my favourite sports are swimming, beach volleyball and surfing.
Our autumn is from March to May. Some trees turn yellow and orange, but many trees are green all year. The weather is warm and sunny. We often go to the Blue Mountains to enjoy the fresh air!
Winter in Sydney starts in June and ends in August. The weather is not very cold. It never snows, but it rains a lot. Helen and I like to watch football games, even in the rain. Sometimes we go to a beach and watch whales（鲸鱼）swimming in the sea.
Spring here is from September to November. I like spring best. The weather gets warmer and everything begins to grow. Trees turn green and flowers come out. My family often has a barbecue（烧烤）at a park or on a beach.
What about the seasons in Beijing? I know they are really different! What do you usually do in different seasons? Please write back soon!
Best wishes!
David

【推荐3】Greenland is the largest island in the world. It’s in the northeast of North America. Near Greenland is another island. It’s small. Its name is Iceland. Do you think that Greenland is green and warm? Do you think that Iceland is white with ice? If you do, you’re wrong. That is because most of Greenland is covered with lots of ice. The ice is higher than the world’s tallest building. There are more people in your hometown than in all of Greenland. What about Iceland? Iceland has ice, but not so much ice as Greenland.

【推荐2】In Tibet, there is a newly opened mini market. It provides all kinds of daily products for local people. But people don’t need to pay money. Villagers here can exchange (交换) recyclables (可回收物品) for them. “Rubbish for cash (现金) ” is the secret behind its success.
It was not accepted by all the local people at first, so the mini market started with children. The children exchanged recyclables for snacks and soon the news spread. Now more and more people come to exchange recyclables for daily products. Four local villagers even found a job in the mini market. Tenzin Drolma is one of them. He is busy but happy every day. “The idea is good, and it is good for the environment. Also, I’m thankful for having such a job. I can get 3,000 yuan every month.” he says. The mini market is not the only “green” market.
In another “green” supermarket in another city, customers can buy daily products by points. People exchange recyclables for points. For example, one kilogram of boxes can be exchanged for 5 points. When people get 16 points, they can exchange them for a bag of salt.
Technology also makes the green life smarter and cleaner. The smart bins (垃圾箱) can tell people how heavy their recyclables are and put the number into cards held by them. When the bins are full, they will “remind” the cleaning staff to take the rubbish out.
