Dogs can be good helpers to humans and what about monkeys? They can do a great job, too. Monkey can help disabled(有残疾) people live a better life just as dogs do.
Like dogs, monkeys need lots of training to be human helpers. One difference is that monkeys live longer than dogs do. This means that a monkey’s “childhood” is also longer than a dog’s. So it may take them four to six years before they are ready to begin training.
It’s said that it is almost as much work as raising a young child!
After monkey begin training, they usually take about a year to learn enough tasks to be good helpers. One important thing that they need to learn is how to follow command(命令).
For example, if a person wants to have the lights turned on, he or she might give the command “sun”. As the monkeys get better at completing their tasks, they learn new and more difficult ones. Some monkeys can even learn how to use a computer!
根据短文内容判断对错,对的为“T”,错的为“F”。

We wash vegetables before cooking them. And we wash our hands before we start eating. That is because we know washing can clean our food and keep bad things away. But, do dogs, cows, deers, cats or pigs wash their food? No, they don’t.
However, there are funny animals called raccoons (浣熊) which wash their food before eating. Raccoons don’t eat if they can’t find water around. Even if they eat, they don’t look too happy. Why do raccoons clean food? Do they really have healthy eating habits? The answer is no. They don’t have a sense of cleanliness. Because they also wash the food in the dirty water!
In fact, raccoons find most of their food in the dirty water. Raccoons can’t see things clearly. Their front feet (脚) are used like our hands. Water can help their feet feel good, so they can know things better. That’s why raccoons usually live in near water and trees. They set up home in the trees.
Raccoons are good-looking. They are gray or brown, having big ears and small eyes and long tails. They look cute and we love them!

The Earth is a planet and it goes around the Sun. Seven other planets also go around the Sun. None of them has an environment with air, so people and things cannot grow. The Sun and its planets are called the solar system(太阳系). The solar system is a small part of our galaxy(星系).
Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. But they are a long way away because their light has travelled for many years to reach us. It is hard to understand how large the universe is.

【推荐3】Natalie Doan, 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.
On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed.
When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to attend a school in Brooklyn.
In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.
“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”
Natalie’s choice was to help.
She created a website page matching people in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.
In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.
Today, damages are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”
