　　One day, Kidom and his friend Dick went to the river fishing, Kidom took his dog Vick with him. But now and then, when the dog saw a small animal or a bird, he would run after it and try to catch it. Dick hated the dog very much because the dog frightened the fish away. “Why do you bring your dog here?” said Dick to Kidom.” He is running here and there. All the fish are frightened and swim away.

　　Just then Dick shouted, “Wait, fish is biting my line. I can feel it.” Dick was very glad. He forgot the danger. He went to pull the line. The boy fell down into the water. “Help! Help! I can’t swim.” Dick shouted, up and down in the river.

　　But Kidom could not swim, either. Just then Vick came up. The dog jumped into the water and pulled Dick onto the dry land by biting Dick’s shirt with his teeth. Dick was saved. He was still holding the line in his hand. On its end was a big fish.

Swallows

　　There are different kinds of swallows. Some swallows make their homes in the sand; others build their nests under the roofs. They make their nests of earth and grass.

　　It takes them several days to build a nest. They have to work in the early morning. The swallow lays five or six eggs at a time. The mother bird sits on them, and the father bird watches by her side and gives some food to her.

　　You must not think that when swallows fly over your head, they aren't working. No! Life is work to them. The young swallows eat a lot and they are busy catching the insects for them. So they have to work from early morning till late at night. At last the young birds can fly well, but the old ones can't rest. They began to think about their second family, for they have two broods every season.

　　When the second brood can fly, too, it's time to think about going to the warmer countries, and when spring comes, they'll return.

　　(4) lay v. 产（卵）

dolphin

　　Long ago, dogs and horses were tamed to become man's helpers on land.  Today some people believe that dolphins may become man's helpers in the sea .

　　Proof that a dolphin can be trained to assist man appeared in 1965.  The U.S. Navy used the services of a seven-foot dolphin, Tuffy.

　　Tuffy worked with divers at the Navy's Man-in-the-Sea station off the coast of California. He acted as messenger to a ten-man team whose underwater home was Sealab II, 205 feet deep.

　　Wearing a plastic harness, Tuffy carried letters in a waterproof tube.  He also carried tools for the undersea workers. Tuffy learned to answer calls for help.  Pretending to be lost, an aquanaut would sound a buzzer.  Another aquanaut would fasten one end of a line to Tuffy's harness .Tuffy would speed to the rescue.

　　More and more , it seems likely that old tales of dolphins' willingness to help man are closer to truth than to fiction .

Health

　　As regard health, I have nothing useful to say since I have little experience of illness. I eat and drink whatever I like, and sleep when I cannot keep awake. I never do anything whatever on the ground(实际上) that it is good for health, though in actual fact the things I like doing are mostly wholesome(有益健康的).

　　Psychologically(从心理方面) there are two dangers to be guarded against in old age. One of these is undue absorption(不适当的迷恋) in the past. It does not do to live in memories, in regrets for the good old days, or in sadness about friends who are dead. One's thoughts must be directed to the future, and to things about which there is something to be done. This is not always easy; one's own past is gradually increasing weight. It is easy to think to oneself that one's emotions used to be more vivid than they are, and one's mind more keen. If this is true it should be forgotten, and if it is forgotten it will probably not be true.

Saint Bernard dogs

　　The famous Saint Bernard dogs have saved many travelers lost in storms on the Alps.  The dogs' home is a travelers' shelter kept by Augustinian monks.  It stands at the highest point of the Great Saint Bernard Pass. For hundreds of years the pass has been used for travel between Switzerland and Italy.  The journey was often dangerous.

　　Snow and ice still block the pass for months. But the dogs are no longer needed to search it after a storm.  In 1964 the Great Saint Bernard Tunnel was opened for motor transport. The tunnel, only three and a half miles long, was the first alpine tunnel for road traffic.

　　Motorists are not the only users of the Great Saint Bernard Tunnel. Observers report that swallows now take the tunnel route.  It has become part of their spring flyway as they migrate north from Italy .

1. The Saint Bernard dogs became famous for

　　A. living in a shelter       B. guiding climbers

　　C. saving travelers’ lives   D. having shaggy coats

2. The dogs are kept by

　　A. the Swiss government       B. Augustinian monks

3. The Great Saint Bernard Pass is a route between

4. The Great Saint Bernard Tunnel has lessened the dangers of the route because

　　A. travelers no longer use the pass itself

　　B. the pass is now kept open all winter

　　C. dogs can patrol the tunnel more easily

　　D. All of the above

5. The selection states that this tunnel

　　A. was opened in 1964      B. is 3.5 miles long

　　C. was the first road tunnel through the Alps   D.    All of the above

Teenagers need friends

　　Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, and in particular their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice.

　　It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a circle of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.

　　However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions?

　　Who chooses your friends?

　　Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?

　　Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like?

　　Your answers are welcome.
