part of history. But history is not only what happened in the past. The word also means the study of the past,
through old written records and other kinds of facts.
Why do we study history? One reason is that we enjoy it. A good story is even better if it is true, and
history is full of good stories, though they can be terrible too. A more serious reason is to understand ourselves
and the world we live in. To understand events happening now, we need to know their causes. We cannot
understand the present if we know nothing about the past. History helps to explain why things are the way they
are.
Of course, history books cannot tell us everything about the past, not even everything that is recorded. A
history of the world has to pick out the people and events that changed the world.
Since ancient times, great civilizations have appeared in different countries and regions. Usually, only three
or four existed at the same time. While they lasted, they changed the lives not only of their own people, but of
their neighbors too.
注：(1) civilizations 文明 (2) exist 存在 (3) region 地区

dogs help people to look after sheep, other dogs help them to find lost children. And some of the dogs can
help the blind (盲人的,看不见的) do things.
Many years ago there was a very good dog. His name was Seeing Eye dog. Now we can see this kind of
dogs all over the world. They are working for the blind.
The Seeing Eye dog is strong, good and easy to train (训练). He helps the blind to walk from place to place.
Before a dog becomes a Seeing Eye dog, he must go to a training school for about three months. First the
dog has to learn to sit or stay when he hears the trainer"s call. In his next lesson the dog learns to make his
trainer across busy streets.
The dog has many things to learn. And in every lesson he must learn to do one thing again and again for
many times.
At the end of the training school he must take tests. When he passes the tests, the Seeing Eye dog will do
the things by himself.
Now he can help blind people. The new master may be a man, a woman, or even a child. It takes the dog
and his blind master about a month to learn to work and live together.

though I really want some," said Wang, a middle school student in Guangzhou, capital of South China"s
Guangdong Province.
A report says that most of Guangzhou teenagers (青少年) want to do more housework, but their parents
usually do not think so. According to (根据) the report, 37% of the teenagers do housework less than half an
hour every day; 39.4% of them from half an hour to one hour; 11.5% one to two hours; 5.6% over two hours;
and 6.2% just have"no" housework to do.
"Most of my time after school should be spent on my homework, and I don"t have time to play. Even on
weekends, my parents ask me to stay at home to study. I can"t go to see a film, watch TV or play with other
children. My parents never say to me about anything to do with the housework. Sometimes I feel I have the
duty to do something to help my parents, but they just get everything done for me," said Yang Ming, a sixteen-
year-old student.
Experts say this won"t change much unless the College Entrance Examination, which adds much pressure (压力) on high school students, is changed.

| "USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?" We often hear such discussions. As China opens its doors, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They want to learn about the world. It"s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Language skills (技能) will improve and it may be easier to find jobs. But there are problems that should be considered (考虑). Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture. Students must also learn to live without parents" care and deal with all kinds of things they haven"t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up easily. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well. Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden (负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it? We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal (金牌) at the Athens Olympics. So when you wonder which country is better to study in,consider whether studying abroad is the right choice (选择). | ||
