In fact, I found it ridiculous that people thought older brothers looked out for their sisters, protected them and fought off their sisters, bullies. Huh? My brother was the bully（恃强凌弱者）.When we were little, his fights with others caused my only black eye, cuts in my lips and even a nosebleed or two. I often wished I were an only child!Time flew. We ended up attending colleges two thousand miles apart, yet, strangely, that's when we began communicating. Through e-mail, we kept in constant touch. Mostly I complained about serious homesickness, impossible roommates, difficult classes, and. dating. I felt I lost myself.

I opened another letter. And another. Eighteen in all.Each one was from a different guy. They complimented （恭维）me. They invited me on dates. And they tried to convince me to make a trip out to Knox College and meet them.I loved it. I didn't care about the motive. And mostly, I loved the idea that my big brother had pulled it off. I picked up the phone.“Kyle, the box came and I can't believe what you did." But Kyle wasn't accepting compliments.

In the ocean, that holds true for cold-blooded predators（掠食者）.But warm-blooded predators are more diverse toward the poles and noticeably missing from several warm hot spots. Why?John Grady, an ecologist, and his team considered the possibility一warm-blooded animals need a lot to fuel their metabolism（新陈代谢）.Perhaps colder waters are just richer in small fish? But they found that at higher, colder places, there isn't actually much more food around. It's more that warm-blooded animals are eating a much bigger share of it than their cold-blooded competitors.The real explanation is simple. An animal's speed, swiftness, and intelligence depend on its metabolism, which in turn depends on its temperature. Since birds and mammals can keep heating their bodies in icy conditions, they remain fast and attentive. By contrast, the fish they hunt become slower and duller. At some tipping point of temperature, seals, dolphins, and penguins start outswimming their prey（猎物）.They become more likely to come upon targets and outpace the cold-blooded predators of their own.In Grady's words, “Warm-bodied predators are favoured where preys are slow, stupid and cold." That's why sharks and other predatory fish dominate near the equator, but colder waters are the kingdom of whales and seals. By keeping food to themselves in the poles, these creatures can then specialize on specific types of prey, which makes them more likely to split into separate species. The killer whales of the North Pacific, for example, include mammal-eating transients and fish-eating, year-round residents.But the world is changing. It's likely that the surface of the oceans will warm by 2 to 3 within this century. Grady's team estimates that every time the ocean's surface warms by 1 , populations of sea mammals will fall by 12%, and populations of seals and sea lions will fall by 24%.But "predictions are hard J Donna Hauser from the University of Alaska Fairbanks notes. "Polar bears are losers of a warming world, but some populations are still doing well. Some groups of whales have changed the timing of their migrations; others are hunting in deeper, colder waters. These changes might make sea mammals more adaptable to changing climates. Maybe they just need to find the places where fish remain slow, stupid and cold.” 1、Why are there more types of warm-blooded predators near the poles?A. Because there is more food.B , Because there are fewer enemies.C. Because they are faster and wiser.D. Because they consume less energy.2、 The author mentions the killer whales to show.A. the benefit of biological evolutionB food preference of different sea mammalsC. the distinction of specific types of predatorsD. the advantage of constant body temperature3、What is Donna Hauser's attitude towards the future of the sea mammals?A.
