Mailman
Carrier pigeons can be trained to carry messages to people. The note is placed into a small can. The can is tied to the pigeon’s leg. Then the pigeon flies off with the note.
Lifeguard
From high up in the sky, specially trained pigeons can find orange life jackets in the ocean. Sometimes it is difficult for humans to find people lost at sea, especially when the weather is bad. However, pigeons can fly quickly over a large area of water to look for people.
Spy
Many years ago, carrier pigeons were used to help our country during wars (战争). “Spy pigeons” had small cameras that were tied to their feet. As a pigeon flew over enemy (敌人)land, the camera took photos of the land below. This would allow our soldiers to see where the enemies were and what they were doing.
So next time you see a pigeon, stop and watch it closely. What might look like an ordinary bird to most people, might actually be helpful.

The Mangrove Rivulets, a kind of little fish, lives in small pools of water. When their living place dries up, they live on the land, said Scott Taylor, a researcher in Florida.
The fish can grow as large as three inches. They group together and breathe air through their skin before they can find water again.
The new scientific discovery came during a trip.
“We were travelling for fun. and one day I kicked over a log (圆木) and the fish came out.” Taylor told reporters by telephone. He said he would make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year.
In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating.
Some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at a time, while lungfish (肺鱼) found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water, but only in a not active (活波的) way. But no other known fish can be out of water as long as the Mangrove Rivulets and keep active, according to Patricia Wright, a biologist at a Canadian University.&科
More studies of the fish may tell how animals changed over time.
“These animals live in conditions similar to those millions of years ago, when animals began to move from water onto land.” Wright said.

Earth has many different kinds of lands. In some places, the land is flat(平坦的). Flat lands are called plains(平原).
Some parts of Earth have hills. Hills are higher than the land around them. But hills are lower than mountains. Did you ever try to ride your bicycle up a hill? Some parts of Earth touch oceans. These parts are called coasts. Some lands have water all around them. These lands are called islands.

In the past, man did not have to think about the protection of the environment. There were few people on the earth, and natural resources(资源) seemed to be unlimited(无限的) .
Today things are different, the world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals (化学制品). If we continue to do this, human life on the ①_______ will ②_______ survive.
Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from rivers and the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing methods(方法) , more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the earth. Yet we continue to use bigger and more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees.
We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, fish will die. However, in most countries wastes are still put into rivers or the sea, and there are few laws to prevent this. Also, weknow that if the population of the world is becoming larger and larger, in a few years there will not be enough food. What can we do to solve these problems?
If we eat more vegetables and less meat, there will be more food available for everyone.
③Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycle(循环再用)them. The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.
Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and cleaner planet in the future. In a word, it is very important to protect our environment.

Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products（产品）. Dell, Hewlett Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers of their own brands.
In some countries, laws have been passed, too. Computer companies have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay for the cost. That will encourage them to make computers which are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade（升级）.
Yet many people are throwing away good computers, while others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working on this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers. These repaired computers then go to schools, charities（慈善团体) or people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful things and cut down waste, too.

You do not have to be spineless (优柔寡断的) in order to be popular. In fact, you will be liked or loved if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights (正当行为). But do it politely and pleasantly. Being friendly and polite to your group, to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character.
You cannot expect to be perfect, and you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed if he does not refuse to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged (灰心丧气的) when they know in themselves qualities that they do not like—selfishness, laziness, and other unpleasant qualities. Just remember that we all have some of these faults (缺点) and have to fight against them.
At the same time, it is important to remember that while you are probably no worse than others, the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people. When something is wrong, it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you do not like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see why, and look at yourself, too, to be sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you. Some day, things may turn out all right when you have to learn to get along the best with the situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you cannot change.
小题1:One of the two ways the writer suggests for us to get along with others is to __________.
| A．work hard at everything we do |
| B．enjoy the best share of everything |
| C．look for treasure in order to be successful |
| D．pay more attention to their strong points |
| A．be polite and friendly |
| B．give up some rights |
| C．get away arguing with other people |
| D．be ready to change his or her character |
| A．is modest and generous |
| B．is selfish and lazy |
| C．does not draw a lesson from his or her own fault |
| D．is very happy with unpleasant quality |
| A．train you to be perfect |
| B．show you the way to be happy |
| C．tell you how to act when you dislike a person |
| D．teach you how to be popular among your friends |
