Many years ago it was hunted for its white fur. Catching or killing Harp Seal is now against law. The Seals spend the summer months moving in large groups.

The mother Harp Seal gives babies in February or March and feeds her children for 14—18 days. Baby Harp Seals begin to lose their white fur at around six to eight weeks of age. When they grow up, the Harp Seals have brown skin. At birth, Harp Seals weigh 12kg but can weigh up to 130kg as they become grown-ups. Harp Seals eat small fish, shrimps(虾) and krill(磷虾). However they are living in different places. Father Harp Seals can live as long as 29 years while mother Harp Seals usually live for longer than 30 years.

The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work with rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open-air activities. As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, because they are rich in nutritional (营养) elements – vitamins and trace elements (微量元素) – that are important to the body.

Make Your Home a Happier Place Have you ever had a dream to make your home a happier place? Maybe there are some points you can follow. Sometimes you don’t think your parents are fair to you. When you want to dress in a modern way, your mum doesn’t like you wearing a mini-skirt. When you are making phone calls to friends, they ask if you’re speaking to a boy or a girl. Sometimes it seems that you’re not as close to your parents as you used to be. How can you become close again? Closing the Gap by American writer Jay McGraw gives advice on how to have a better relationship with your parents. He gives ways to help you understand your parents. When you think, “My parents don’t want me to have any fun,” that usually means your parents want you to be safe. Both parents and children have needs. They need to feel they are important and loved.

You could talk about your school life and your plans for the future. （2）Keep a diary. This is to help you understand more about yourself and your feelings. （3）Show your parents you are growing up.

B A giant (very large) panda from the Beijing Zoo has been saved by a transfusion of blood from two black bears. But it’s still under special care, according to the Beijing Zoo. Yong Liang, two years old, is the first giant panda raised from birth in the zoo. Last month zoo keepers found the panda was suffering from serious anaemia （贫血症）, calling for urgent（紧急的）blood transfusion. The best way, according to the zoo’s experts, to save Yong Liang from anaemia would have been to transfuse blood from another panda. But it was the breeding (reproducing) season for giant pandas, making such a transfusion very difficult. But the experts found that there exists（存在）a close consanguinity（血缘）between giant pandas and black bears, and so they decided to try to take blood from black bears in the zoo and transfuse it to Yong Liang. With the help of hospitals and the Beijing Blood Donor Station, they made an experiment which proved that the red blood cells（细胞）in the blood of black bears can be used. On the afternoon of February 15th, the first red blood cell transfusion was given to the giant panda, from 600 ml of black bear blood. Immediately the young panda started to recover. 46.

They decided to try another way instead of the best way to save the panda because . A. it was the breeding season for the panda, Yong Liang B. other pandas were producing young at that time C. it was difficult to find other pandas D. blood of pandas was too expensive 50.
