2. 今天小编要带大家见识一下高端的核能。 Nuclear Power You may know little about “nuclear power,” but you must have heard about the “A-bomb.” An A-bomb can destroy a city and its radiation can spread for hundreds of miles. Nuclear power is the mother of A-bombs, but it is not always dangerous.

3. Nuclear power is good when nuclear power plants give electricity to us. It is safer and cleaner than coal and natural gas. It lets out fewer greenhouse gases. That can help save the Earth (地球). But nuclear power plants make radioactive wastes. They will pollute groundwater. And if a nuclear power plant goes wrong, that will bring great danger to all of us.

10. 今年冬天，让小编带大家一起去体验一下 因纽特人 (the Inuit) 的生活吧！ Life in an Igloo The Inuit live in Northern Canada (加拿大北部). It is freezing cold. So how do they live there? They build igloos to live in.

11. An igloo is a dome-shaped snow house. Its door is dug into the snow. It is warm in an igloo because snow is a good insulator. But will an igloo melt? Well, if the walls inside melt, the cold outside will quickly refreeze them. So an igloo is really safe. In an igloo, the furniture is made of ice. At night, after putting animal furs on the bed, the Inuit sleep in a large bag made from fur. It couldn’t be warmer!

13. Culture More about Igloos 爱斯基摩人是居住在北极地区的土著民族，自称因纽特人。爱斯基摩人的传统住房叫作“igloo” ，是由雪砖垒成的圆顶房屋。他们通常在屋外挖一个雪下通道作为屋子的入口。由于通道在雪下，因而冷风不能直接进入屋内。这样的通道有利于保持室温。 其实，“igloo”这个词并不用于专指雪砖房屋，还指因纽特人的所有居住形式。夏天，他们住在兽皮搭成的帐篷里；冬天，他们住在雪屋或者泥土块屋子里。
