主题：全球变暖对pika是否有坏的影响

1. Air Temperatures

First, rising air temperatures put pikas in danger of overheating. Pikas have a thick coat of fur to insulate them from the cold, and round bodies designed to conserve heat. As a result, they can easily get too hot and die, even in temperatures as mild as 26°C. To escape the heat, many pikas have migrated to higher elevations, where it is cooler. However, scientists point out that this is only a temporary solution. Eventually there will come a time when pikas cannot escape the heat.

1. First, it's not necessarily true that pikas will overheat. You have to realize that the temperature can vary considerably across the pike's habitat. Yes, open spaces do get hot, but pikes spend a great deal of time under rocks and inside openings, where it is shady and temperatures are cooler. Some of the reports claiming that temperatures are too high in pika habitats do not take account of temperatures in those shaded areas. Many scientists believe pika populations will remain stable as long as pikas have cooler places where they can take refuge when it gets too hot.

2. Nourishment

Second, pikas gather and store most of the food they need for the winter during the summer. However, collecting food is a strenuous activity that may lead to overheating if the air temperature is high. If summer temperatures increase, pikas may have to limit their food-collecting activities to avoid overheating. As a result, they may not be able to collect and store enough food for the winter.

2. Second, it should still be possible for pikas to collect enough food. The reading passage forgets to mention one important consequence of warmer weather. In warmer weather, animals don't have to eat as much to keep up their internal temperature. So during these warmer summers pikas eat less, which means they need to collect less food for their immediate consumption. That means they can spend more time collecting food. They will store for later, for the winter. As a result, pikas may actually be able to store more food for the winter than in years when it was cool.

3. Snow Melting

Third, during the winter, pikas depend on a thick layer of snow to insulate them from the cold and shield them from freezing rain and wind. However, global warming is causing snow to melt at a faster rate. Because of the increased rate of snow melting, the thickness of the snow layer in pika habitats during the winter has decreased. Without sufficient protection provided by snow, pikas are more exposed to cold and freezing rain in wintertime.

3. Finally, while increased, snow melting can hurt pikas during the winter by exposing them to cold, A faster rate of snow melting also has a positive effect. You see, the warmer climate and the faster rate of snow belting mean that the winter ends earlier. The spring arrives earlier. Fresh plant food becomes available earlier. And the pika populations that have suffered through the harsh winter conditions. Get a chance to recover and start reproducing. In simple terms, increased snow melting makes the winter shorter. Giving the pikers a better chance to replenish the population that has been lost during the winter.

学术讨论【教育】

　　Your professor is teaching a class on education. Write a post responding to the professor’s question.

　　In your response, you should

　　· express and support your personal opinion

　　· make a contribution to the discussion in your own words

　　An effective response will contain at least 100 words. You have ten minutes to write.

　　Doctor Achebe:Today we will discuss an important topic in secondary education: oral (spoken) presentations. In many courses, high school students are required to research a topic and then make an oral presentation about the topic to classmates. Some people believe it is important for students to be able to speak about what they have learned instead of just writing about it. What do you think? ls it a good idea for secondary teachers to assign oral presentations? Why or why not?

　　Kelly: Most high school students would be happy if their teachers assigned no oral presentations, but I believe it is crucial for students to learn public speaking skills. In being required to speak in front of classmates, students can demonstrate how they are able to engage with an audience and, thus, they will master a critical personal and job skill.

　　Paul: I think secondary teachers should not require students to make oral presentations. Many people do not really need to develop public speaking skills because most jobs do not require workers to speak before large groups of coworkers. So by giving oral presentations, students may acquire a skill that is not particularly valuable.

　　范文：

　　From my perspective, oral presentations should be given as an assignment for secondary students. This is because oral presentations help students develop essential communication skills, including clarity of expression and effective speaking techniques, which are crucial in academic settings. For example, when my friend Maya was assigned a presentation on renewable energy sources for her science class, she did a large number of researches on solar, wind, and hydropower, taking notes on key concepts, statistics, and real-world applications.

　　She created an outline that followed a logical flow and used simple and clear language to explain complex concepts. During the presentation, she practiced vocal techniques and pauses effectively to vary her tone and emphasize important points, making sure everyone understood. Through this process, Maya not only deepened her understanding of renewable energy but also honed essential communication skills. Therefore, it is necessary for secondary school students to make presentation as one of the tasks from their homework.
