Emperor penguins move like cars in traffic jams to keep warm, that’s according to new research by the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marina Research in Germany. A penguin only needs to move 2cm in any direction for its neighbor to do the same thing. These movements then flow(流动) through the whole group of penguins like a “traveling wave”.
These waves also help smaller crowds join bigger groups, keeping more and more of their friends warm. A single Antarctic “traffic jam” has thousands of penguins. Interestingly, the technology used for studying road traffic jams was used to study the penguins. This included studying time-lapse(延时) videos. Scientists also discovered that unlike on the road, these waves can be made by any penguin and in any direction.
With temperatures usually dropping below –50℃, and winds reaching speeds of up to 200km/h, these traveling waves are very important for penguins to keep warm.
These penguins can also teach us a lesson. In big groups, they learn to be orderly and patient, and to never crash into each other. These are skills we should all learn from them when we are on the road!

Emperor penguins get together to _____.A.keep warm | B.play games | C.learn from each other | D.cross the road |
小题2:
In a traffic jam on the road, __________. A.drivers can drive fast | B.drivers can drive carelessly |
C.cars are not moving fast | D.cars will stop working |

From the passage, we learn that a “traveling wave” _____.A.is caused by a traffic jam on the road |
B.is caused by the strong wind in Antarctica |
C.is formed by the movement of the penguins |
D.is made by just one or two penguins |
小题4:
If a penguin is in a group, it _____.A.needs to move orderly | B.can move as fast as it likes |
C.will not leave others behind | D.should move as slowly as it can |
小题5:
The last paragraph wants to tell us that _____.A.penguins won’t move together if it is not very cold |
B.traffic jams happen probably because people are impatient |
C.penguins learn their skills from human beings |
D.penguins are likely to crash into each other in a group |

But Edison was a thinker as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could usefully do with them.
Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment and pleasure.
