Nearly 150 world leaders were meeting in Paris, France, at the United Nations’ Conference of the Parties (COP). They were working hard to help solve climate (气候) change. That was an important meeting since so many countries were trying to solve the problem.
And it has added up. So the leaders knew they needed to act fast. And since climate change doesn’t stay inside a country, it connects us all. We need to agree on what changes should be made and then keep to the plan.

A four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor. She has just lost her mother. Her pink clothes are full of blood and her eyes look at something only she can see.
Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see Iraqi (伊拉克的) children begging for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad (巴格达). We see these children following parents, carrying bags of almost the same size as their small bodies as they escape from their homes in Baghdad.
They show just some of the young lives that have been turned upside down by ongoing war and the terrible price paid by Iraqi children.
“Dad, why are the Americans fighting against us? Are we going to be killed?” asks the son of Abu Singar, an Iraqi engineer. Abu finds it hard to explain this war to his eight-year-old son.
He tries to make him feel safe by saying, “The bombs (炸弹) are far away from us. The Americans are fighting the soldiers. We’re going to be all right.” Even though Abu knows it isn’t always true, little else can be done. In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try and let them escape from the sound of bombs. And all the schools are closed.
Not things are worse, and the ongoing war makes it impossible to count the number who are hungry, sick, hurt or even dead.

The Rocky Mountains are a large group of mountains on the North American continent(洲). The Rockies are found in the western part of North America. They stretch(连绵)from Canada in the north to the United States in the south. The southern part of the Rockies ends in the state of New Mexico.
The Rockies are the longest mountain range in North America. They have many high peaks(山峰). The highest is Mount Elbert in Colorado. It is three miles high.
In the summer, the Rockies are warm and dry, though it does rain sometimes. During the winter, the weather is wet and cold. Heavy winter snow falls in the higher parts of the Rockies.
Many people like to visit these mountains. They ride bikes, hike on trails, ski, or fish. A special area called Rocky Mountain National Park is in Colorado. The national park is reserved(留出)for people to visit. Visitors to Rocky Mountain National Park can see the wild animals that live there. These animals include elk(麋鹿), moose(驼鹿), mountain goats, and mountain sheep.
①Sperm whales(抹香鲸)live in every ocean on the planet. Their large heads help them stand out from other whales. Here are some fun facts about them.
②Sperm whales have the biggest brains(大睡)of all the animals on earth. Our brains weigh about 1.4 kilograms, but a sperm whale’s brain can weigh up to 9 kilograms.
③Sperm whales are amazing divers(潜水者). These huge animals can dive to around 2,000 meters and can go over 60 minutes between breaths.
④Sperm whales are the loudest animals alive. They make special high sounds to send information to one another from hundreds of kilometers away. The sounds are even louder than those made by planes. What’s more, each whale makes its own sound. Scientists believe this is how they recognize(认出)one another.
⑤Sperm whales sleep up straight near the surface(表面) of the water. It looks like they’re standing in the ocean. And scientists have found that they sleep for less than two hours every day.
⑥Ambergris(龙涎香)is a thing that forms in the stomach of a sperm whale. It is thought to protect the whale’s stomach. Sperm whales release(释放)ambergris into the sea as a sweet-smelling, egg-shaped ball. Ambergris is often used in fine perfumes(香水). A kilogram of it can sell for up to $50,000. ___▲___
⑦Sperm whales have appeared in a novel. In 1820, a ship called Essex was hit by an angry 26-meter-long sperm whale. American writer Herman Melville later wrote about this event in his novel Moby-Dick.
⑧Sperm whales are really great animals. Learning about them may not be worth as much as a piece of ambergris, but it is certainly worth your while!
