A Smart Dog

    Rico is a dog who lives in Germany,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} When his owner says the name of a certain toy, Rico can find it. In fact, he seems to know the names of 200 toys!

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. They put his toys in a room and then told him to go in the room and find a certain toy. Since nobody was in the room with Rico, he had no help from anyone finding the right toy. The researchers did this test forty times. Rico found the right toy thirty-seven times!

    Then the researcher tried something else. They put seven of Rico's toys in the room and one new toy that Rico had never seen before.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} . This new toy had a name Rico had never heard before. Rico found the right toy seven out of ten times!

    Researchers cannot really say that Rico know words or languages.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}They believed Rico can think about what he hears and thin about what he knows. In fact, Rico seems to thin and remember things as well as three-year-old child.

    From these tests, animal researchers know one thing for sure. Rico has given them a lot to think about.

A. Then they told Rico to go into the room and get the new toy.

B. However, these tests seem to show Rico is smart.

C. Some researchers in Germany wanted to test Rico.

A Father's Promise for a Daughter

By Roger Horsh

I promised I'd always love you.

From the day of your own birth.

I promise I will love you more

Than anything on Earth.

I promise I will be there

On the day you learn to talk.

I promise I will hold your hands

When you begin to walk.

I promise I will wipe your tears

At the times when you are sad.

I promise I will love you still

Even if I'm mad

Each and every day.

The joy （欢乐） you give to me is strong

But, there's one more thing to say.

You are the apple of my eye.

You are my little pearl.

I'll always hold you in my heart

Cause you're Daddy's little girl.

    The poem A Father's Promise for a Daughter was written by{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. In this poem, he sings high praises(赞扬)of a father's love to his{#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    This poem clearly shows the great image(形象)of a father who promises to love his daughter from the day of her birth， and who is always there to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}her hands and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}her tears, Daughter is the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}of his eye.

    The poem is short, but the ideas it expresses are deep.

    Joining a short-term research program in China has not only allowed Pakistani agricultural scientist Sayyar Khan to push forward with his academic studies, but also given him a chance to see a country he had heard so much about.

    Khan is now doing a one-year research program at the Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences. The program is sponsored by the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology and many young talented scientists who come from collaborating countries, such as Pakistan, are given opportunities to work in China.

    Although this is his first visit to China Khan says he is well-informed of the long friendship between China and Pakistan. He is impressed most by the cooperation (合作) in education between China and Pakistan. especially since the start-up of the Belt and Road Initiative ("一带一路"建设) in 2013.

    "Many students from my university and my city have visited China and completed their higher education here." he says, adding that he has met with many of them.

    "I hear news about China on television and read about it in print media, so I know of the rapid development of China in recent decades."

    Khan says the Belt and Road Initiative will have a very positive effect on the world.

    "I hope that I can stay in China to participate in such cooperation projects." he says. Khan says life in Beijing is much easier than he'd expected, thanks to the convenient(便利的)public transportation and restaurants offering food for Muslims(穆斯林). This encouraged him to bring his family to live with him a couple of months ago.

    He says that language is the only challenge for them so far. However, he finds no problem talking with his Chinese colleagues, many of whom speak good English. He also enjoys the relaxing working environment and has a very good relationship with his co-workers.

    Do you have any difficulties while studying? In fact, to learn with success is not a very difficult task if you follow some basic rules. I hope they will help you study successfully.

    All problems can be solved by working hard. It makes the fool wise, the poor rich, the weak strong. It makes a wonderful difference. In learning, a hard—working fool gets more than a lazy wise.

    To set our heart on one thing at a time and give up all other thoughts is also a good way. Those who often change their subjects will never succeed. For this reason, while you are learning one subject, don't consider learning another one in order to be successful.

    Constancy (持之以恒) makes a certain (必然). On the other hand, inconstancy often results failure(失败).If we study day after day, than is nothing that can not be achieved. We should remember a worthy saying "'Constant dropping of water wears away a nonce"

    Besides, to be on time is another rule. It helps to achieve your dream. The habit of keeping certain hours is of very importance to successful learning. Work while you wok; play while you play. Every man will certainly become strong and wise as long as we does so.

    One would think that campers would know not to break the branches off trees for firewood, drive fast around the campground, litter, or leave a fire not looked after, but I've seen people do all of these things. No matter where you put up your tent, here are five things not to do at a campground.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    What's it like to be near someone who decides to arrive late at night? Last summer, on a rainy night at a state park in Vermont, we heard noises from excited kids and barking dogs very close to our tent after midnight. There is no beautiful way to set up camp in the middle of the night, so please, just don't do it.

    No one thinks that his dog is annoying, but we all know that some pets are better off left home. The only thing worse than a camper who stands by lazily as his dog barks at passers-by for no reason at all, is that he leaves his dog at his campsite while he goes off for the night.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    This is the most important and often unnoticed camping manner in the book. Nearly every campground has rules that do not allow noise late at night and early in the morning, but most places also don't have the staff to carry them out.

    You might accept leaving your bar of soap thinking that someone might have forgotten to bring theirs, but I can assure you that non one wants to use your leftover soap especially if it's hairy, so please take it with you.

    No matter how good your taste in music is, I'd say most people prefer quiet hours with the nature. The truth is that no one want to hear your music except for yourself. Headphones are a great invention, but since too many campers fail to pack them, don't forget your earlugs.
