Scooter is a seven-year-old Chinese dog. His body is hairless, but he has long white hair on his head. His rear (后面的) legs face backward and his tongue always hangs out his mouth. Scooter’s special look won him the 2023 World’s Ugliest (最丑的) Dog competition.
Scooter may be a star now, but things didn’t always look so good for him. Since he had trouble with his rear legs from birth, he was unable to walk like other dogs. Scooter didn’t give up on himself, though. He learned to walk with the help of his two front legs. Now he can even jump to climb steps. Linda is the owner of Scooter. She looks after him very well.
The World’s Ugliest Dog competition started 50 years ago. The title may not sound very kind, but it isn’t about making fun of ugly dogs at all. Instead, this competition is to show that every dog needs love and a good home, nо matter what it looks like. For this year, at least, no dog shows those ideas better than Scooter.

8 . Can dolphins talk? Maybe they can’t talk with words, but they talk with sounds. They show their feelings 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 the other dolphins in a 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, very high. Scientists make tapes of the sounds and study them. Sometimes people catch a dolphin for a large aquarium. People can watch the dolphins in a show. Dolphins don’t like to be away from their school at an aquarium. They are sad and lonely. There are many stories about dolphins. They help people. Sometimes they save somebody’s life. Dolphin’s meat is good. But people don’t like to kill them. They say that dolphins bring good luck.

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 are making a big noise in the pool. If it is a nice day, the frogs will come out of the water.
