A
As an autistic(自闭的)teen, Niam Jain doesn’t speak much. But ever since the 13-year-old picked up a paintbrush last summer, he’s found a way to express himself, and the art world is listening.
Niam, who lives in Toronto, was diagnosed(诊断) with autism at the age of two. Niam is in special education class and loves school.
Last summer Nina Jain bought her son some art supplies to give him something to do.
She never thought it would lead to a passion(酷爱) and a career, but soon after she posted Niam’s first paintings online, a lot of people started buying them. Some were from family and friends. But most came from sharp-eyed collectors.
Niam has already sold 46 paintings across Canada and the US. He’s make nearly $20,000, and the number keeps growing.

“I don’t know how he can do this because this is the work of a kind of successful mid-career painter,” says a gallery owner after he pointed out Niam’s mastery(精通) of the technique of mixing and layering(分层堆积) colours.
“Since he has paintings and he loves to do what he does, he has a reason to get up in the morning and that’s really, really important,” Nina says.
Morning and night, Niam can be found in his studio, sometimes painting for hours at a time, on more than one canvas at a time.
For this artist, there’s no way of knowing what his next creation will be or what will encourage him next. The future is a canvas for his imagination.

The largest dry area in Antarctica is called the Dry Valleys. When the British traveler Robert first came across the valleys more than 100 years ago, he thought they are lifeless:” It is certainly a valley of the dead.”
10
Scientists have found that Scott was wrong. The Dry Valleys are one of the driest deserts in the world ---it rains little a year. But they are not lifeless. In that dry sand and rocks, there are different kinds of organisms that come to life when it rain. For a few weeks each summer, snow turns into water. Colorful organisms grow when the valley is wet.
The organisms that live in the dry valley can stand cold and dry weather. Most are microscopic, but we can see a few with our eyes. The largest organisms in the Dry Valleys are springtails. But what about penguins? Like sea birds and seals, penguins can’t really live on land. They can only spend some time on the ice and land. Scientists say that springtails(跳虫) are the “elephants” of Antarctica.
Scientists study the organisms that live in the valley, others study geology. They want to find out the relationship between the organisms and the valley they live in.

How does a big company like Dannon come up with a new kind of food for kids? What’s the science that goes into it? To find the answers to these questions, I visited the Dannon Innovation Center, in New York.
Greek-style yogurt is becoming more and more popular with adults. But Dannon USA did surveys and found that while parents are eating Greek yogurt, their kids aren’t. “We didn’t know why,” said Dannon’s Michael.” Kids told us that Greek yogurt was too thick and too sour.”What did Dannon do with this information? They looked for ways to make the yogurt interest kids.
10
Making yogurt is simple, explained Dr Thierry Saint-Denis, Dannon’s director “Talk milk. Mix in bacteria. Keep it warm for a few hours. Then a natural chemical process called fermentation turns the milk into yogurt.”
What makes yogurt “Greek”? it’s thicker than usual yogurt, and less sweet. Dannon’s scientists looked for special bacteria that would make their Greek yogurt feel less thick and taste sweeter to kids. Dr Saint-Denis said that after many tests, they found those bacteria. But he couldn’t tell TFK which bacteria: they are trade secrets.
Finally, I got to taste the finished Greek-style yogurt. Out of the five new flavors, my favorite was Mixed Berry Half-Pipe. It is neither too thick nor too sour.
34.The writer probably tells us in the first paragraph_____.
A. he has found the science that goes into food product
B. how the company let kids like having its product
C. he visited the Dannon Innovation Center, in New York
D. how the company get kids excited about its product

More than 200 dolphins spent a second day staying in a cove by Japanese fishermen, US conservationists(环保者) said Sunday, many of them were stressed and tired.
The dolphins will spend a third night without food or rest in Taiji Cove before the fishermen start to kill them Monday for meat.
“We drove twenty-five dolphins to the cove on Saturday, another twelve on Sunday,” a fisherman said, “Two dolphins have died on the way to the cove.”
Conservationists are watching these activities in the cove in southwest Japan. Fishermen in Taiji kill dolphins there every year.
Although many people in the west disagree on killing dolphins this way, Japanese keep the practice as a Japanese culture. They say it is no different from killing other animals for meat.
Caroline Kennedy, the US ambassador(大使) to Japan, said that she was “deeply surprised by killing dolphins in this terrible way.”
The conservationists took many pictures of the killing in the cove. They posted the pictures on the Internet.
“More than 200 dolphins are still in the cove. They are bloody, tired and injured

from their killers.” One update Sunday said.
“They keep killing Dolphin in Taiji because they want to sell them for money. Don’t take dolphin meat to your table. Refuse to eat dolphin meat and you can save dolphins,” another said.
