    I'm writing this article in China, far away from my home in the United States. You might wonder what I do to remember my mom on Mother's day. Well, I certainly call her to say "Happy Mother's Day" and promise that I will visit home soon.

    I still remember the first time I forgot Mother's Day. When I finally worked it out, I asked, "Why does mom get a special holiday? Why isn't there a Children's Day!"

    I knew that I had messed up. I thought about all the time and love my mom had given me. I thought about the food she had made, the toys she had bought and the long hours she had spent with me. There might not be a perfect mom's love, which can't fix anything. After that day, for 364 days, I was looking forward to the next Mother's Day.

    That was the first year I forgot Mother's Day. It was also the last year I forgot.

    Are you struggling to consider what to do for your mom on Mother's Day? Common things are to write a message that thanks for the love she has given you, send her a card or buy   her a gift. But the most important thing is — DON'T FORGET!

(1)、How does the writer celebrate Mother's Day this year?
A、He calls his mom. B、He sends his mom a card. C、He visits home to see his mom. D、He writes a message.
(2)、Why did the writer begin to expect Mother's Day?
A、Because he missed his mom far in the United States. B、Because he wanted to spend more time with his mom. C、Because he thought of the food his mom had made. D、Because he realized he had got much care from his mom.
(3)、What is the purpose of the passage?
A、To explain why there isn't a Children Day. B、To remind us to remember the love mom has given us. C、To ask us to have big celebrations for moms on Mother's Day. D、To advise us not to fail to keep our own promises.

Have you ever wondered what animals are thinking when you see them? Do you feel happy when you see a cute dog, but do they feel the same way? It's hard to tell what animals are thinking because they have no ability to speak like us.

Humans have many different feelings, but it's difficult to understand what animals are feeling. We might think we know our pets the best because we spend a lot of time with them. Some people have dogs as pets because they are friendly to us, even love us. But love could just be a human feeling. Professor Kim Bard did an experiment to test pets' feelings. It turns out that some dogs show the same feeling when their owner pretends (假装) to cry, but not with strangers. However, it's harder for cats to work out.

Other animals, like giraffes and whales, also experience great sadness when someone in their group dies. Nowadays, people are starting to consider their well-being more. In the UK, new legislation (立法) means all animals will be considered in law as sentient living things, even tiny insects. Research shows they can feel a degree of feelings, such as being happy, sad, angry, or frightened.

Dr Barbara J King says, "If we understand how deeply animals can feel feelings, do we really need zoos around the world? This is a question." Understanding animal feelings is important because it helps us treat them in a proper way.

I saved the rice and wheat carefully and finally had enough to plant. I built a wall around my garden to keep the wild goats away. 

Then when my crop(庄稼) bore its fruit, the birds discovered it. The birds were not afraid of my dog at all. I shot them, but as soon as I walked away, they returned. At last, I killed some birds and hung them among the crop, hoping they would serve as the scarecrows(稻草人), which turned out to be successful. By harvest time, I had nearly two bushels of rice and two and a half bushels of wheat. 

With my new rice and wheat to store, I found a new problem. The fine rice and wheat ran through my baskets. It took me nearly two months to form and dry two ugly bowls — one for rice and one for wheat. 

Next I made some tools from hard wood and cloth to make bread. I made bread with my tools. I spent the third year on the island in farming and making bread. 

Soon after that, I began to think of my days sailing in a tidy boat with Xury. I wished to have a boat and explore(探索) the island by sea. 

I tried to turn over the ship's boat that I had seen washed up, but failed. I was still determined(坚定的) to have a boat. So I chose a strong tree and spent weeks cutting it down. Then it took me months to turn the tree into a boat. 

When it was time to sail, I realised I had made my boat too far from the nearest river. The boat was far too heavy for me to move. I tried bringing the water to the boat instead of the boat to the water. I soon saw it would take me twenty years of work. 

I celebrated my fourth year on the island with two boats, but I was no closer to a sea journey.
