　　When Mary entered the South Pole Penguin Research Lab,she saw her friend Tom gently stroking(轻抚)a penguin in his arms.As children of the lab scientists,Mary and Tom often observed the emperor penguins that were studied to understand how they adapted to extreme temperatures−insights that could aid human survival.
　　"We're thirteen,Tom.It's time to grow up and stop playing with the lab penguins,”' said Mary as she started cleaning.“They're research animals,not pets."
　　“But the birds listen to me!"insisted Tom,his breath forming a cloud in the freezing air.“You're just trying to be a penguin whisperer again,"Mary replied,shaking her head with a gentle smile.　The penguins seemed playful as they walked,dove,swam and chased their live fish for sport before eating.
　　Suddenly,an alarm rang out and red lights flashed,signaling a problem.The kids rushed over to look into it.“It's colder than before−there's ice forming on the water,”notted Tom.Though always cold,Mary had never seen ice here before.She checked the habitat monitor and found that the temperature had gone down a lot.“The heater must be broken!"Mary quickly sent a message to their parents' research team,who were conducting outdoor studies.With the adults away,the kids would have to deal with the freezing conditions until help arrived.
　　Time dragged as Mary and Tom anxiously waited.The increasing cold caused them to shake.“I wonder what emperor penguins do in extreme cold,since they stay in the Pole all winter instead of going somewhere warmer,"asked Mary."They huddle(挤作一团),"Tom answered."They huddle together inthe middle will be warm enough."“What about　the ones on the edge?”Mary asked.“They push their way towards the center,and then move back out to the edge,and struggle back again.Scientists in the early21st century recorded it.”He replied as he stared at the large crowd of the penguins in the lab.

答案： Possible version one
Paragraph 1:
“I have an idea to stay warm!”Tom shouted excitedly. Spreading his arms, he suggested joining the penguin huddles. Worried that the penguins wouldn't let them, Mary hesitated but was soon persuaded by Tom's assuring grin. He slowly approached the crowded penguins, crouching down. Gently stroking them with care, he whispered softly. (动作描写) Though startled at first, the penguins recognized Tom and let him into their group. Mary quickly followed. The children squeezed into the huddle's edge with the penguins. (动作描写) Just as the birds did, they moved toward the middle and back out as the group shifted.
Paragraph 2:
Two and a half hours later, the parents returned with help. Rushing in calling for the kids, they were surprised(神态描写). The children were safely surrounded by Emperors in a large bundle. When asked how they stayed warm, the kids looked at each other proudly. “We copied what the emperor penguins do,” they told their parents. (语言描写) Mary patted Tom's shoulder with admiration, calling him a penguin whisperer. With a big smile, Tom gave credit to the penguins who taught him a lot. Their teamwork had seen them through the difficult cold with the penguins' aid.
Possible version two
Paragraph 1:
“I have an idea to stay warm!”Tom shouted excitedly. Tom suggested joining the penguins with their huddles to get warm. Mary hesitated with concern that the birds wouldn't accept them. Tom grinned with confidence while approaching the birds which had already crowded together due to the temperature. Slowly and gently, he crouched down to get close to the penguins, reached out his hands and stroke them with great affection, whispering to them soothingly. (动作描写) Though alarmed at first, the penguins recognized him and allowed him into their huddle with intimacy. Mary quickly followed his lead. The two kids squeezed their way from the edge of the crowd to the center and returned to the edge with the flow, just as the birds did. (动作描写)
Paragraph 2:
Two and a half hours later, the parents returned with help. When the parents rushed in screaming out the kids' names, they were amazed to see the kids were tightly surrounded by a huge group of penguins, safe and sound. When asked how they managed to brave this terrible cold, the two kids exchanged a glance and proudly told them it was the secret of the emperor penguins that helped them keep warm. Patting Tom on the shoulder, Mary said with sincere admiration, “You are a true penguin whisperer! (语言描写)” With a beam lighting up his face, Tom praised the penguins for what they taught him.
