4 . In America, when people say "man's best friend", they don't mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal: a dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give joy to people's lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!
Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to be the "eyes" for a blind person or "ears" for a deaf person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for "patients".
Americans hold "Be Kind to Animals Week" the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don't live in America, you, too, can do this. How? First, think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food.
If you don't have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, don't kick it or throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or better yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to speak up. As people, we must protect animals who can't speak for themselves.

5 . Can dolphins talk? Maybe they can't talk with words, but they talk with sounds. Dolphins travel in a group. We call a group of fish a "school". They don't study but they travel together. Dolphins are mammals, not fish, but they swim together in a school.
Dolphins talk to other dolphins in the school. They give information. They tell when they are happy or sad or afraid. They say welcome when a dolphin comes back to the school. They talk when they play.
They make a few sounds above water. They make many more sounds under water. People can't hear these sounds because they are very high. Scientists make tapes of the sounds and study them. Sometimes people catch a dolphin for a large aquarium(水族馆). People watch the dolphins in a show. Dolphins don't like to be away from their school. In the aquarium they are sad and lonely. There are many stories about dolphins. They can help people. Sometimes they save somebody's life. Dolphin meat is good but people don't like to kill them. They say that dolphins bring good luck.

In those poor days, people had little meat to eat. They had vegetables every meal. Most of people can only eat some meat at the Spring Festival.

8 . We often forget that people in other countries eat different things from us. In some countries, for example, rice is a staple food. In others, such as Britain and America, bread made from wheat is the most important food. In many African countries a kind of corn called maize is the most important food.
Most countries have dishes that were first created there. In China such dishes as sweet and sour pork, shark’s fin soup are very common. In Thailand and India people eat any different curries. They like their food hot and spicy. In England, a favorite dish is roast beef. The Italians eat pasta, which is a kind of noodle made from wheat. French food is very famous everywhere. It is often very rich.
In recent years fast food—sometimes called ‘junk food’—has become very popular all over the world. It was invented in the USA, and the first fast food was the hamburger. Interestingly, a hamburger does not actually contain ham. It’s made from ground beef .There are restaurants and takeout places selling hamburgers in most cities of the world.
