3 . Dumplings are traditional Chinese food. On the lunar New Year’s Day, most families make a lot of delicious dumplings. To make them, we can follow these easy steps.
The first step is to mix the flour with water. When the dough (面团) is ready, we can begin to make dumpling wrappers. We roll the dough into small, thin and round pieces so that they can be easy to cook. Then it’s time to prepare the filling. Usually, we use meat such as beef or pork, and some vegetables for filling. Remember to cut these things into small pieces, put some salt and oil into it and mix them.
When all these are done, we can start making dumplings. First put a spoonful of filling in the center of the wrappers. Then stick the two opposite sides together. The best shape of dumplings is like a ship. When they are boiling in the pan, they look like ships sailing in the sea. The smell can make your mouth water.

8 . Many animals hide to stay alive. They hide in many ways. Some animals hide in leaves; some animals hide in snow. Usually their colours or shapes help protect them. It’ s hard to see an Arctic bear in snow. Its white fur helps protect it. Chameleons (变色龙) can hide by changing colours. Their skin turns the same colour as what is around them. Some chameleons can change colours in five minutes.
Many animals try to look bigger than they are to stay alive. Some animals can make other animals think they are very big. If they look very big, animals that are looking for food will run away. Bears can walk on two legs. They look very, very scary. Some animals will run away from them.
Many animals try to stay around other animals. This helps them stay alive. Zebras stay close together so that they can help each other look out of danger. Seeing many stripes at once can also confuse animals that want to eat them. Some birds stay in a circle, each toward a different direction. In this way they can also help each other stay alive by looking around for animals that many want to eat one of them.

10 . In 2021, scientists studying animal communication discovered that some dogs associate objects with words at a similar level to babies. Then what about cats, which are commonly believed to be indifferent to human affairs?
Saho Takagi, a researcher at Azabu University, doubted cats’ seeming indifference. “Cats don’t appear to listen to people’s conversations, but in fact, they do.” According to previous research, cats understand human communication better than expected. Like dogs, they can use human pointing and stares to find food. They even can tell the difference between human facial expressions and attentional states, according to a 2016 study. However, cats can do more than that.
Another study showed that cats can discriminate their human-given name from the names of their cat friends (those that live in the same household). The researchers believed that cats learned to associate names with other cats by observing interactions between their owners and their cat friends.
In a recently published study, Takagi and her colleagues compared two groups of cats: one group consisted of household cats that lived with at least two other cats; the other consisted of cats that lived in “cat cafés”, which had up to 30 cats. They used a simple, two-phase(阶段)test. During the name phase, the study participant was softly placed in front of a laptop computer. Then the researcher played a recording of its owner saying the name of one of its kitty companions(同伴).
Immediately after the name phase came the face phase. A cat’s face appeared on the monitor. Sometimes, the cat that appeared on the screen matched the name spoken; other times the name and the image did not match. If cats knew the names of their cat friends, they would investigate by staring doubtfully at the monitor when the name and image did not match. House cats had a significantly longer stare than café cats, indicating that household cats generally expected a specific cat’s face upon hearing the cat’s name.
“This is the first evidence that household cats link human words and their social companions through daily experiences,” the researchers wrote. “However, we could not recognize the mechanism(机制)for learning. But with more and more scientists becoming interested in cats who are much smarter than we give them credit for, this question is sure to be resolved.”
