Dad was brought in the night. We heard every sound, but we pretended to be asleep.
Next morning he looked weak and thin, sitting in a chair by the kitchen fire. The light of the fire shone through his long empty sleeve. Everything went as usual. Grandma found something to do in the bedroom. Grandpa went out for some water. Mother, with her back to us, was getting the cakes ready for breakfast.
But nothing was right. When grandma came out of the bedroom, she walked on tiptoe（踮着脚）. When grandpa came back, he said nothing about the weather. At breakfast Mother passed us the fruit and said something, but her voice was too high.
At last my sister, Lou, pushed back her chair. “It’s your turn to wash the dishes.” But I had washed the dishes the night before. I said nothing because it was not right to quarrel in front of Dad just home with the empty sleeve.
“It is your turn,” Lou said again. I looked at her in surprise.
“It is not,” I said because I suddenly remembered Mother had told us to go on as usual.
“Children, children,” Mother said in a quiet, glad kind of voice.
And Dad was smiling because he felt at home at last.

She is widely seen as proof（证据）that good looking can last forever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with Mona Lisa.
The health of the famous, painted by Leonardo Da Vinci（莱昂纳多•达芬奇）in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum.
“The thin wooden panel（嵌板）on which the Mona Lisa was painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials（材料）the Italian artist used and their chemical states.

Polar bears depend on ice to hunt（猎取）for food in the Arctic Ocean. They climb up on the ice to look for seals and other animals. But scientists say sea ice is decreasing（减少）because of climate change. They say rising temperatures have reduces the area in which polar bears can hunt.
Recently, a number of studies found that future reductions（减少）of sea ice could result in a loss（消失）of many polar bears within fifty years. The studies found a direct link between sea ice in the Arctic Ocean and the health of polar bears. The scientists say the animals will disappear from the north coasts of Alaska and Russia in the next fifty years. The only polar bears to survive will be in Canada’s far north and the west coast of Greenland.
The scientists found that almost two thirds of the world’s nineteen polar bear populations will disappear from the earth by the middle of this century. The studies showed that three more groups of polar bears will disappear within seventy-five years.
Scientists say polar bears still can be saved. But they say the world must begin taking steps to reduce climate change to do this. The center for Biological Diversity says governments around the world need to reduce the release（释放）of pollution like CO2 gas.
Scientists say one step toward this goal would be to include polar bears on America’s list of endangered（有危险的）species. Then the government would be able to make sure that industrial activities do not threaten their survival. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service is expected to examine the new findings when it considers whether polar bears should be included on the Endangered Species List.
