【推荐3】Many people say dolphins(海豚) are intelligent. They seem to be able to think, understand and learn things quickly. But are they as smart as humans, or are they more like cats and dogs? Dolphins use their brains quite differently from the way humans do. But scientists say dolphins and humans are very similar in some ways. How?
Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”. The name is a special whistle(哨声). Each dolphin chooses a specific(特有的) whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Dolphins are like people in other ways, too. They “talk” to each other about a lot of things—such as their age, their feelings, and finding food. They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. Understanding dolphin conversation is not easy for humans. No one “speaks dolphin” yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.
Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups called pods, and they often join others from different pods to play games and have fun—just like people. Scientists believe playing together is something only intelligent animals do.
Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both make plans for getting things they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an intelligent plan to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins signal(发信号) to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. Using this method, the men can catch a lot of fish. Why do dolphins help the men? There is an advantage for them. They get to eat some of the fish that escape(逃脱) from the net.

【推荐2】What did your street look like a hundred years ago? It has probably changed over time. U.S. Route 66 was a road that saw many changes, too. This famous road has been written about in books. It has been the subject of TV shows and songs. Route 66 stretched 2,448 miles (3,940 km)across the United States, and it carried a lot of history.
For hundreds of years, native Americans followed animal tracks to hunt. Later, mountain men blazed trails along the same paths in order to set their fur traps. Next came the pioneers moving west in wagons. Gold was discovered in California in 1849. People used the same route to seek their fortunes（财富）there. About 10 years later, railroads were built along the flat and wide route.
In 1908, Henry Ford began to manufacture automobiles. Motorists took off into the countryside. They wanted to drive on paved roads! In 1926, Route 66 became an official U.S. highway. It was the first paved road to run all the way from Illinois to California. During the 1930s and '40s, people drove west on U.S. Route 66. They were looking for work on farms and in wartime plants. In the 1950s and '60s, many Americans enjoyed taking road trips. They drove along Route 66 to visit the Grand Canyon and Disneyland.
Wider, straighter, and safer highways were built. Old Route 66 was used less and less. In 1985, it was officially removed from the U. S. highway system. The parts that still exist today are called Historic Route 66. Most of the old Route 66 filling stations, diners, and motels are closed. But U.S. Route 66 is still remembered as a road of dreams that carried people west.
