What do you think of white when someone talks about a polar bear? In fact, the polar bear does not have white fur. It just seems to be white when the sun shines on ice. Polar bears have a very good sense of smell. It helps them find food. During summer, polar bears sleep longer, because they are able to find their food more easily at night. Usually, after a meal, polar bears have a short sleep. A polar bear can have 2-3 babies at a time. They live with their mothers until they are about two and a half years old. 

However, polar bears will die out soon because of people. There are only 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears in the world. Those polar bears left are trying to survive (生存) today. The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because of the loss of sea ice—polar bears mostly live in the sea ice, not the land ice. This is happening because of global warming. Besides, they also have to face pollution, hunting and so on. 

Some people don’t care, but other people want to save tigers, fight for giant pandas and save polar bears. Join them and try to make the world a better place for those beautiful and lovely animals.

It may look a little scary, but in fact it’s just an ugly apple on sale at Intermarche, one of France’s most popular supermarkets. And some other shops are giving away out-of-date food to people in need. All of them are trying new ways to deal with a serious problem: food waste(浪费）.

A lot of waste comes from supermarkets. Most supermarkets sell only good-looking fruits and vegetables. They believe that people won’t buy an onion that is a watermelon size or a pear m an unusual color. So, although perfectly safe to eat, “ugly” food never appears m supermarkets.

   ▲    The supermarkets sold ugly food at a lower price and made ads to tell people that “ugly” food is just as tasty as “good-looking” food. Many people came to buy and try them. Soon after that, the supermarkets saw not only less waste but also growing sales.

Other supermarkets are helping to cut down on waste as well. Denmark’s Wefood Supermarket sells only foods that are past their “best before” dates at lower prices. A lot of people come and enjoy shopping at half price.

Britain’s Marks & Spencer stores give away unsold food to poor people. The biggest UK supermarket Tesco, does the same. In Australia, supermarkets sell local food, as it cuts down on food waste on the road. When food does not travel very far, it also brings less pollution.
