We often think the Arctic(北极) only has snow and ice. But in fact, it has far more than that! The Arctic is on top of Earth. The Arctic Ocean makes up two-thirds of the Arctic, while made up of land in eight countries, including Russia, Canada, and the US.
The Arctic lands nave many various lives. Some plants and animals can grow in very cold temperatures. In fact，the Arctic is home to more than 21,000 kinds of lives. There are whales. Arctic foxes and many more. The polar bear (北极熊) is the most famous Arctic animal.
You might think that the Arctic is too cold for people to live in. But surprisingly, there are about 4 million people living there. That's the same population as the city of Taiyuan in Shanxi, China. About 10 percent are local people. They have been there for thousands of years. They make a living by fishing, hunting (打猎) and so on.
A group of scientists recently came back from a one-year-long study in the Arctic. They have bad news: the Arctic is dying. The amount of Arctic sea ice is falling by around 3 percent every year. There will be no more ice during the summer in the near future. What does this mean for us? Many animals, such as polar bears, hunt for their food on the ice. lf they can't do this anymore, they will die of hunger. Local people hunt animals for food. But since so many animals are dying, they need to change their way of life.

Once upon a time, old woman had two large water pots. Each hung on the end of a pole(杆子) which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack(裂缝) in it while the pot was perfect. From the river to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. And the other pot was always . The perfect pot took __in its talent. And the poor cracked pot felt sad for its own disadvantages.
One day by the river the cracked pot said to the woman, "I feel bad about because the crack in me causes water to come out all the way back to your house."
The old woman smiled and said," Why are there flowers on your side of the road, not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your crack. So l planted flowers on your side of the road， and every day while we walk back, you them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my house. There would not be this beauty you. Each of us has our own cracks. But the cracks our lives so interesting and beautiful."
So，to all the cracked pot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the on your side of the road!
