At first, they kept their distance from him, but they soon found he was a kind man, and would not hurt them, but liked to have them near him.They knew this by his kind eyes and voice, which tell what is in the heart. So, day by day their faith in his love grew in them.All the birds of the grove were soon his fast friends. They were on the watch for him, and would fly down from the green tree tops to greet him with their chirp （叽叽喳喳口U）.When he had no work to do, he took bread with him, and dropped the pieces on the ground. Down they would dart （俯冲）on his head and feet to catch them as they fell from his hand.

It passed an important test on the way to travel around the world.The plane took off from an airport in Switzerland. It slowly rose above the fields and into the sky.“There has never been an airplane of that kind that could fly - never an airplane so big, so light, using so little energy," said Bertrand Piccard, a leader of the project.During the 90-minute flight（飞彳亍）,the plane did several turns. It climbed nearly 1.6km above the countryside.Engineers plan to test a night flight before July. Then they will use the results of the tests to build a second plane. They plan to travel around the world in that plane in 2012.“We want to fly it day and night with no fuel （燃料）Piccard said.Piccard and pilot（飞行员）Andre Borschberg will take the plane around the world. They will make a few stops to change places and rest after a long time in the air - and to show off their airplane.The plane will fly at 70 km per hour on average（平均）.That is faster than a bike and slower than a car.

Surprisingly, there are green icebergs in Antarctica （南极.Their unusual color has confused scientists for decades. But scientists have finally solved the mystery of the green icebergs.Icebergs are large masses of ice that float （漂浮）in the sea. Icebergs form after breaking away from glaciers （冰川）and ice shelves.Most icebergs are white. There are also many icebergs in Antarctica that are blue.Glacial ice contains a lot of small air bubbles o The icebergs appear to be blue because the air bubbles reflect blue light.However, there are no air bubbles in green icebergs, which means these icebergs are made out of sea ice rather than glacial ice.But why does sea ice look green? Scientists at the University of Washington, US, recently found the reason - iron oxide （氧化铁）.It comes from rock dust found on the Antarctic mainland.After studying the green icebergs, scientists found that they have 500 times more iron than glacial ice, according to Newsweek. The iron comes from bedrock in the ocean. When glaciers grind （碾磨）against bedrock, a powder （粉末）that is rich in iron is created. The powder later mixes with ocean water, which then freezes as green sea ice, Stephen Warren from the university suggested.This is an important finding, as these green icebergs can deliver iron to far parts of the ocean. There, tiny sea plants use the iron as a nutrient （营养物）.We thought green icebergs were just a curiosity,'1 Warren said to Newsweek. But now they may actually be important.1. According to the story, icebergs can beA. white; blue; yellow B. green; blue; yellow C. white; green; blue D. blue: red; green 2. Why do some icebergs look green?A. Because there is iron oxide inside of them.B. Because air bubbles inside reflect green light,c. Because some sea plants are frozen inside.D. Because they are made out of bedrock.3. Where does the iron in green icebergs come from?A. Glacial ice.B. Bedrock in the ocean.c. Dead bodies of sea animals. D. Industrial waste.4. What can we infer from the story?A. Green icebergs can only be found in Antarctica. B. Glaciers don't have any color.C. Sea ice does not contain air bubbles.D.Antarctic animals feed on colorful icebergs.四、词汇运用1 .
