阅读理解

    One of my best friends went abroad to enjoy her holidays, so the job of looking after her dog Missy has been given to me. A few months ago, Missy came to my friend's house. She looked terrible. She has been abused for a long time.

    When we first visited my friend and Missy, my friend had to gently pull her over on a lead (牵绳) to get her to come to us. She wanted to come but afraid to do so—the poor, beautiful thing. Clearly Missy came to the right home. My friend has given birth to a baby of his own and shows the love of a mother. This is just what Missy needs. Thanks to the love of my friend, she has changed into a new dog step by step. Sadly, she is still afraid of strange humans. I hate to imagine what the dog must have gone through.

    Now, Missy trusts me completely, so I can touch her berry(肚皮).While standing, she will jump up so gently to be closer to me, putting her paws(爪子)on my legs as she looks at me with those beautiful eyes.

    Missy is really brave. She has the courage to try again, to open her hearts, and to know that not everyone is the same kind of people as before. Keep it in mind that tomorrow is another day.

How many bicycles do you need in your life? For Chai Lin, the answer is 1,300 and the number is continuing to grow.

Bicycles first came into China in the 19th century. At that time, they were a symbol of having a lot of money. And later they became a common way of transport. When Chai saw some people riding a bicycle, he said,"They were like flying on the streets, and my heart went flying with them."Since then, he dreamed of owning a bike.

However, at that time a bicycle was too expensive for ordinary Chinese. To get enough money sooner, Chai began to sell his pictures in the street. With his own hard work and the help of his family, Chai got his first bike, at the price of 880 yuan, in 1979.

Chai Lin became a businessman years later and he could buy motorbikes and cars. ▲ He began to collect bikes of different brands and ages from around the world in different ways. Up to now, Chai has collected more than 1,300bikes.

With his collection growing, there was no room big enough to keep it. In 2009, with the support of the Gansu provincial government, he spent 200 million yuan building a museum just for exhibiting(展出) his bikes. After 10 years' hard work, the Gansu Sanmu Bicycle Museum in Lanzhou finally opened to the public in January 2019. People can go and enjoy the bikes for free. By 2024, more than two million visitors have been there.

"A large part of my collection is not yet exhibited and has to be kept in other places. I hope to expand (扩大) the museum for my bikes,"he said.

Cristina Zenato, a world-famous shark expert and diver(潜水员), was born in Italy and grew up in Africa until the age of 15. In 1994, she went on a vacation to Grand Bahama and fell in love with both diving and the island. So she decided to make Bahama her home and make diving her life.

Cristina learned to feed sharks when she was a child. In 1996, she became a shark feeder trainer. She created a course that educated divers about the beauty of sharks and the need to protect them and their environment. Through the "shark feeder course", she has created more shark lovers.

Cristina is talented in communicating with sharks. With just a touch on a shark's head and face, she can lead it into a state of sleep for 15 minutes. Cristina's special talent has been used to study shark behavior by scientists. It also helps to save sharks. Cristina still remembers clearly the first time she managed to take out a huge hook(吊钩) from a tiger shark's mouth. Up to now, she has taken out hundreds of hooks and fishing lines from shark mouths and skin without hurting them. Her work has saved many sharks from possible death.

Cristina has received many prizes and honors for her great work in shark research and protection. She also acted in several films including "Saving the Sharks" by the BBC. Until today, she continues to give speeches around the world.
