Dogs show off their skills

    Dogs can be good friends of people. They can also be in dog shows!

    Well, the US held the 141st Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show(威斯敏斯特犬种大赛){#blank#}1{#/blank#}New York City on February 13, 2017. This is the{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(two) oldest sporting event in the US.

    To take part in this show, a dog must be 100 percent one kind of breed(品种).

    On the day of the show,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(own) try their best{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(make) their dogs look{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(well). Then, they show their dogs to the audience(观众) and judges(裁判). The judges are looking at everything, how a dog acts, their fur(毛发) and more.

    To be in dog shows like this, it{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(cost) around $50,000(about 330,000 yuan) to $100,000 a year. So{#blank#}7{#/blank#}do people do it?

    Some do it to teach people about dog breeds, while{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(other) want to make some money. But they must{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(love) their dogs a lot because they spend so much time and money{#blank#}10{#/blank#}them.

    A dog named Frida has won worldwide praise. She is being called a hero because she rescued(救援)people after two to{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (discover) hit Mexico.

    Frida's job is to look for people who {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (request) after a natural disaster(灾难). So far, the dog has found 52 people. Twelve of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (day) were found alive.

    Frida was put to the test after the Mexican state of Oaxaca was hit {#blank#}4{#/blank#} an earthquake on September 7, 2017. Twelve days later she went to work again because there was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (a) earthquake in Mexico City. People around the world took notice. That is because SEMAR, the Mexican Navy, posted a {#blank#}6{#/blank#} of Frida at work online.

    Emmanuel Hernandez is one of Fridas trainers. When Frida was young, Hernandez {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (follow) that she could be trained as a good rescue dog--she is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} ; she is a good hunter; she has a strong sense of smell.

    Hernandez has{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (disappoint) what will happen when Frida retires(退休). " If someone asks me{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (complete) I want to take Frida, I will say yes, "Hernandez says. "But we will have Frida at work for a long time yet."

    Many people like pandas very much because they are very cute. Most of them come {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Sichuan, China. They have white hair {#blank#}2{#/blank#} big eyes. And {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (they) ears, legs and shoulders are all black too. Pandas are usually heavy, but they can climb trees like koalas. Their favorite food {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) bamboo. They like to eat a lot. It takes pandas a lot of time {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (eat) food every day. When pandas are full, they like {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (sleep). They sleep many {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (hour) every day. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} there are not many pandas in the world today. They are {#blank#}9{#/blank#} great danger. Because people cut down too many bamboo trees, pandas can't find much food. I think we must help them. We can plant more bamboo trees and be {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (friend) to pandas.

    Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (much) food than they can eat while others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (agree) with them. Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources (资源), we are short of (缺乏) others, such as fresh water (淡水). It is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (report) that we will have no coal (煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (waste) our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students {#blank#}5{#/blank#} waste things every day .Everybody should stop wasting as soon as {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (possible). In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste {#blank#}7{#/blank#} happening. For {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, turn off the taps(水龙头)  when we finish washing. Turn off the lights when we leave the classroom and try not to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (order) more food than we need little by little, everything will be changed. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (waste) can be stopped one day if we do our best.
