Everybody hates rats. But rats may soon be man’s new good friend.
What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue(援救)dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal(信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.
Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark, they are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity!
The “rat project” is not finished, but a scientist says, “It would be great. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).In the writer’s opinion, rats may become man’s new friend because .

“Who did this？”asked Miss Green.
There were 30 children in the classroom and all were trying to think about not only what they did, but also what our teacher already knew.
“Who broke this window?”
“Uh, Oh.”I thought. I was the one who broke the window with a football. I did not mean to do it. I would be in a lot of trouble. How could I pay for a big window like that? I didn’t want to put up my hand. But I had to tell the truth. So, I put up my hand and told the teacher I broke the window.
Miss Green went to the bookshelf and took down a book.
“I know how you like birds, Peter.”She said .“Here is a book about birds and the book is yours now. I will not punish you this time. But Peter, you should remember that I am rewarding （奖赏）you for your honesty（诚实）, not for breaking the window.”
I couldn’t believe it! The teacher didn’t punish me and I was getting my very favorite book. Now, I still use that book, and it always reminds me of (使我想起)the lesson my teacher taught me.

Water is the most important in our lives. Not Many people understand this but it’s quite true. The human body can go without food for a long time. We’ve got many examples for this. Yet two or three dayswithout water can usually make people die. Man can’t live without water.
Many people don’t understand how much water the human body needs to work well, and many people, especially young people, do not drink enough water, even in very hot weather. About two thirds of our body is water. When we do sports, some of the water will get away from our body. If we don’t drink some water, our body won’t have enough water. And if we don’t have enough water, we’ll feel tired and many of us will get ill. So you know how important water is to us.
But at present we face water crisis(危机). Water is becoming less and less. So， we should protect water resources(资源) and try our best to save water in our daily life. Here are some tips for saving water:
1. Turn off the tap(水龙头) in lime.
2. Take shorter showers.
3. Don’t let water run while washing your face and reuse the water after we finish washing.
4. Encourage your friends and neighbors to join in the action of saving water. Nobody can live without water.
About one third of our body is water
If one doesn't have enough water, he’ll feel tired and may get ill.
We’d better take longer showers and let water run while washing.
It’s our duty to protect water resources and save water.
