The Arctic Ice is Thawing

Father Christmas may have to move his “workshop” from the North Pole because global warming is thawing the ice beneath his feet and his reindeers' feet as well. His “workshop” is in dire straits. The “platform” for the “workshop” is melting, said Stefan Norris of the World Wildlife Fund environmental group's Arctic Program.

An eight-nation report by 250 scientists published recently predicted the Arctic Ocean could be ice-free in summer by 2100 because of a build-up of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere, mainly from burning fossil fuels in cars or factories. The North Pole is getting more and more inhabitable to Father Christmas. ___1___. Young people learn that Father Christmas' “workshop” produces millions of gifts delivered by him on a flying, reindeer-drawn sleigh. Hollywood movies like "The Polar Express" tried to make viewers believe that Father Christmas lives at the North Pole. ___2___.    
 
The "Fortress of Solitude" is near the North Pole that could be under threat in a warmer world. Alan Boldt, spokesman of the Danish Ministry of Science, suggested ways to rescue Father Christmas. ___3___. Another alternative, he argued, would be building some electrical facilities to ensure the ice stays on the North Pole for him. "This should be a subject for the United Nations," he said. “Danmark could build windmills to provide Father Christmas with power." Denmark says Father Christmas’s real home is Greenland, which will help, Denmark thinks, to strengthen its position in claiming the sovereignty over the Pole. ___4___.

"Doesn't he already speak Danish?" Boldt said frostily when asked if Father Christmas would be forced to learn Danish if Denmark won international recognition of its claim to the Pole. Last month's Arctic report said the region is warming twice as fast as the rest of the globe, partly because dark ground or water, once uncovered, soaks up more heat than ice or snow. Finland has been most favored by Father Christmas and it has about 500,000 tourists a year to visit its Christmas center in Rovaniemi in Lapland6. ___5___.

注釋：

1. workshop：工場(chǎng)。圣誕故事說(shuō)，圣誕老人每年圣誕節(jié)向全世界兒童贈(zèng)送禮物。禮物數(shù)量何止千千萬(wàn)萬(wàn)。于是，人們想象，圣誕老人住在北極，在冰塊上一定擁有一個(gè)制造禮物的工場(chǎng)。

2.heat-trapping gases：捕捉熱量的氣體。 heat-trapping gases = greenhouse gases

3.The Polar Express：極地快車（好萊塢電影名)

4.Nordic countries：北歐國(guó)家。北歐國(guó)家包括芬蘭、瑞典、挪威、丹麥、冰島等五國(guó)。

5.The "Fortress of Solitude" near the North Pole that could be under threat in a warmer world： “孤獨(dú)要塞”靠近北極，在變暖的世界中可能處于危險(xiǎn)之中。that 引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾 Fortress of Solitude。

6.Rovaniemi in Lapland：位于拉普蘭地區(qū)的 Rovaniemi（羅瓦涅米)。 Rovaniemi 是芬蘭拉普蘭省首府，是一個(gè)充滿北極風(fēng)光的城市。市內(nèi)有圣誕公園  (Christmas Park)。每年圣誕節(jié)，熱鬧非凡。 Rovaniemi 被稱為圣誕之都。
