He's got two large bottles of water, three oranges, four bananas, two hamburgers and a packet of crisps. Suddenly(突然) they see a spaceship in the sky. It is small and round. It is falling. A big red man comes out. The boys are afraid. The red man smiles(微笑)at them. He needs some water for his spaceship. The spaceship cannot fly without(没有)water. Jack gives a large bottle of water to him. He puts it in the spaceship. The spaceship flies away.

Dogs are colour-blind (色盲的)

    Dogs are man's good friend. Some dogs are big, and some dogs are small. Dogs are very clever, but they cannot see colours. They are colour-blind. In a dog's eyes, everything is black, white and grey. How can a dog hunt (捕猎) for food then? Dogs can run very fast. They can hear and smell very well too. Many animals cannot see colours, Lions, tigers, cats, cows and sheep are all colour-blind. But monkeys can see colours. Many birds, fish and insects con see colours too.
