Every dog should learn the command (命令) “no”. When the dog hears “no”, she should stop doing what she is doing before she hurts (伤害) herself, hurts you or someone else, or breaks things. Sometimes giving the command with body languages (语言) is useful. The command will help your dog learn a little self-control (自控). Here are some things that you can do.
| 1. Show your dog the behavior
| To teach the dog “no”, begin by showing her the behavior (行为) you want her to know. For example, show her a treat in your hand, and then say “no” before closing your fist (拳头) around the treat. Let her smell at your hand, but don’t give her the treat. If she stops trying and turns away, give her a treat from your other hand. |
| 2. Have patience
| You can do the exercise ten times or even more before your dog understands that she gets the treat by leaving your closed hand alone. Stay patient enough with her, and always give a good treat if she can do it well. |
| 3. ______________
| Your dog will understand you by watching what you are doing. So, watch your body language. Stand tall and give the command in a strong voice, but don’t try to make her angry. You want her to understand and follow the command, not to make her afraid. |
| 4. Teach your dog to follow the command with the treat on the floor
| “No” is easier when your dog can’t reach the treat anyway (when it’s in your fist). The next step is to place the treat on the floor with your hand. You may have to start with your hand completely around the treat, but over some times, begin lifting your hand until she stops when you say “no” even with the treat in the open. |
| A．Talk to your dog gently | B．Be careful with your body language |
| C．Make friends with your dog | D．Teach your dog to follow you all the time |
| A．Dogs always get hurt and can’t control themselves. |
| B．People like playing tricks on their own pet dogs. |
| C．It’s very easy to teach a dog to understand her owner. |
| D．Giving dogs a treat is very important when teaching “no”. |
| A．Teaching pet dogs to understand “no”. | B．Showing the ways to live with dogs. |
| C．Stopping dogs hurting people around them. | D．Showing the love between animals and people. |

Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back， she couldn’t remember where she’d put them.
Perhaps you’ve had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them haven’t realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memory can be improved. If you’ll just accept that， the following will show you how.
First， relax. If you are over worried about remembering something， you’ll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad， your mind will come to believe it and you won’t remember things. When you forget something， don’t follow up with sayings like “Oh， my God! I always forget things!” Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.
But relaxing isn’t enough. To improve your memory， you’ll need to take an active role. Like your body， your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your memory. For example， if you’re learning a language， try to actively remember a lot of new words.
If you don’t take notice of things actively， you won’t remember them. So， you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example， don’t just put your keys down! If you want to find them again， make a mind picture of the place where you’re putting them.

【推荐1】What will the weather be like? Some people say they can know what the weather will be like from birds. When they see birds fly high out to the sea, they know it is a nice day. Because birds don’t like to fly out if it rains. When the weather is bad, the birds will come back to the beach. A big wind may come with a heavy rain. Birds do not like to fly in a big wind. They may sit in a tree when rain is coming. Other animals can also tell the weather. It is a cloudy day. The rain is coming. Chickens are not quiet, and they are running here and there. Frogs (青蛙) are making a big noise in the pool. If it is a nice day, the frogs will come out of the water.

【推荐2】Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us. If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores (胚芽). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.

【推荐1】Do you know the tree frog?
Birds live in trees. Squirrels live in trees. But do you know that some frogs live in trees, too? The tree frog is hard to find. It can change its color. On green leaves, it stays green. On a brown branch, it turns brown. Some tree frogs can change from green to gold or blue.
Tree frogs have legs and wide feet. They have sticky pads（黏性的肉趾）at the end of their toes. These sticky toe pads keep the tree frogs from falling. Tree frogs have different colors and markings（斑点）on their skins. Their eyes are different, too. Some have green eyes, and others have bright red ones.
The sounds they make are different, too. One frog makes a sound like a dog barking. Another frog makes a loud noise like a snore. There is even a frog that whistles! （吹口哨）

【推荐2】Imagine a vegetable garden that everyone can reach: one you don’t have to bend down to weed, that can follow the sun around in a small backyard and that won’t take up too much space. “Impossible!” you say think-again! A group of people living in suburb came up with a creative way to garden in small space.
They all love growing vegetables but not everyone could do that when they just had conventional vegetable garden. To solve the problem, they added a movable vegetable patch (小块菜地). They turned an old hospital bed into a garden on wheels. The bed can be raised and lowered so everyone, including people in wheelchairs, can enjoy working in the garden. Their local greengrocer provided some containers, where they planted their vegetables. This perfect garden can be easily wheeled around to follow the sun!
It is a great activity for Michelle, Marianne, Shelly, Jimmy and Ashley, who have a disability and are supported in their homes by people employed by the Department of Human Services. The garden is a joy to everyone and provides the vegetables for a lot of cheap and nutritious meals. “Our garden is coming along well,” says Michelle.
“We’ve been eating lots of salad items lettuce, cucumbers, spring onions. Everyone loves them. Unfortunately, the strawberries were a failure. I think it was a bit too hot in the pots for them. We have plans for a potato crop next year, grown on newspapers and covered with straw and sheep manure. It is a very ‘no-dig’ way to grow them.”

【推荐3】It might be strange to wear clothes made out of plastic bottles. But in fact, some clothing companies are making clothes like these.
Fashion brand (品牌) JUMA recently showed its newest collection at a workshop in Shanghai. Eighteen clothing items (件) from the collection, including pants, jackets, shirts and dresses, were made from recycled plastic bottles. “We realized that billions of water bottles are thrown into oceans every year and these bottles take hundreds of years to break down. We thought we should use them to make our clothes and protect the environment ,” said Alia Juma, the company’s designer. “Five bottles can make a shirt, 10 for a dress, and 20 for a short coat.
Many other fashion companies are looking for similar ways to save our planet these days. The process is rather simple. First, the plastic bottles are washed and cut into small pieces. Then they are melted (熔化) and shaped into small balls. The balls are melted again to form a line. People can then use the line to make different kinds of clothes.
According to JUMA, it takes 67,000 bottles to originate 1 ton of lines. This cuts down carbon emissions (碳排放) by 4.2 tons and water use by 6.2 tons compared with the normal way of making lines.
Some people might have doubts about wearing something made out of plastic bottles. But according to Causeartist, a website that focuses on innovation (创新), clothes made from plastics could be even better than those made from common materials. Plastic lines also can be made into different materials, such as cotton, silk, or even wool. It seems that this innovation may lead to a greener future of fashion.
