小升初时文阅读(1):Big ＂Chunk＂ Wins Fat Bear WeekDo you think being fat can be a good thing? In Alaska, it sure is! Every year since 2014, the park has held an online event called Fat Bear Week. People all over the world vote for the bear that has gained the most weight before winter. The contest is fun. But it also shows how important fat (脂肪) is for bears to survive.This year's winner is a huge brown bear named Chunk. At the start of summer, Chunk had a broken jaw, and many viewers worried he wouldn't be able to eat. But Chunk surprised everyone. He kept eating salmon (三文鱼) from the Brooks River and grew bigger and bigger.Brown bears must eat a lot before winter because they hibernate for several months.
