In the coastal city of Laguna in Brazil(巴西), there is a special fishing team. It is made up of human fishers and dolphins! They work together to catch the same food-mullet(鲻鱼).
Mauricio Cantor from Oregon State University, US, studied this relationship. As he told Science News Explores, the cooperation started more than a century ago. "The dolphins are really good at finding fish and driving them to the coast," Cantor said. "Fishermen are really good at catching the fish with their nets."
Cantor's study described how fishers and dolphins give signals (信号) to each other during fishing. When dolphins find fish, they drive them to the coast. Then they arch (拱起) their backs in front of the fishers to tell them to cast(撒) nets. Fishermen will then cast the net s right away, or they may lose the best chance. Fishermen need to be well-trained to understand the signals from dolphins, said Cantor. Once the fish are caught in the nets, dolphins can move in and get some as their food.
The study found that fishers are 17 times more likely to catch fish by working with dolphins. At the same time, cooperative dolphins have 13% higher survival rates (生存率) than other dolphins."Human-animal partnerships give us an idea of how well our human can get on with nature," Cantor said.
▲ . There is a kind of bird named the"honey guide" in Africa. Their name can show what they do-they work with honey hunters(搜寻者). In return, the birds get their favorite food.
①A lot of students like playing sports every day, but if sports aren't going to be your future, why should you play them? Why would you train every day even though you feel very tired? Wouldn't it be better to forget sports and only pay attention to your lessons?
②In fact, there are lots of reasons to play sports. First of all, sports are a great way to exercise. Exercising keeps you healthy and strong. It also helps you stay in a good condition. When you take exercise, your body makes endorphins(内啡肽) which give you more energy and let you feel happier.
③Sports are important for everyone, and they are especially important for young people. They teach young people about winning and losing. Also, they teach young people how to communicate and work as a team. They teach young people to respect their coaches, teammates and players from the other team. Many reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she may have fewer problems. This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they work hard, they might succeed.
④Another advantage of sports is that they make people leave their houses. These days, a lot of people spend too much time watching television and playing video games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun. You take in fresh air. All of these things are important.
⑤Maybe you' re not going to become a sports professional(专家), but that doesn't matter. Sports will help you become a better and happier person.
People have told stories about Robin Hood for more than 700 years. Nobody knows if he was a real person or an invented character. In the legends(传说), Robin was quite smart and had a playful sense of humour. He loved playing jokes and tricks on people.
"Pick a card, any card!"
The stories say that Robin Hood was a skilled archer(弓箭手) and he always carried a bow and arrow.
"Ha ha, too easy!"
He wore green clothes and a hat with a green feather. He lived in Sherwood Forest with a group of outlaws(逃犯), known as his‘Happy Men'. The group included Friar Tuck, "Mmm. yummy!" Little John, who was unusually tall, "Little is just my nickname!", and Robin's true love, Maid Marian. "Take that!"
Sherwood Forest was a royal(皇家的) hunting forest near Nottingham in England. Most people thought that forests were dangerous places to go. People travelling through the forests were often robbed by outlaws.
"Your money, please, my Lord!"
"Oh no, it's Robin Hood!"
The stories say that Robin Hood only took money from rich people so that he could give it to people who needed it. So he became famous for‘robbing from the rich and giving to the poor'.
"Here you are, my dear."
"Oh, thank you, Robin!"
The Sheriff(郡长) of Nottingham was Robin's arch-enemy. It was the sheriff's job to keep the woods safe and to make sure that nobody stole the king's deer.
"What's that? Is that Robin Hood?"
The Sherlff of Nottingham tried to catch Robin Hood, but never succeeded.
"Oh no, not again!"
Centuries ago people loved to tell each other stories of Robin Hood. Later he became a famous character in books, and nowadays Robin is still a well-loved hero in books, theatre, TV and films.

One day, my science teacher, Mr Pearson asked me to have a"quick talk" after class. Although I had always done quite well in science and maths, I had 1 a bit with schoolwork by Grade 8. I didn' t really find the 2 in trying. I just thought I'd leave school as soon as I could.
So that afternoon, when all the rest of the class had 3 , Mr Pearson sat down next to me. He asked me what I wanted to do in the future. I could answer that question 4 , because I'd been thinking about it — I wanted to work in a garage(汽车修理厂).
"So you'd like to fix cars?" he said. "Why not 5 them?" I said"Making them?" Mr Pearson said. "Being a(n) 6 designs the best cars in the world possibly". It was something I'd never thought. Mr Pearson said, "You are good enough at science and maths to do that, I know. But you don't really 7 ." I said shyly, "In Grade 8,I just... find everything a bit boring". Mr Pearson continued, "It's sometimes boring, but it's like 8 a mountain. You can't enjoy the exciting point 9 you work up from the bottom. The way is steep(陡峭的), and there's no 10 on the way."
Mr Pearson was there for me after that, to explain things that I couldn't understand, or to help me with 11 in my life. And every month or two, he asked me, "How are things on that mountain?" I always said, "No view but I'm still going 12 ."
Mr Pearson was right. At the end of Grade 8,I really started to 13 science and maths. He wasn't right about me becoming an engineer though. I got a bit 14 of cars as I got older, and decided that I wanted to study medicine when I left school. I now work in medical research, and I really feel like I'm on top of that15 at last!
