Many people say dolphins 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 othersfrom 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 species 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．

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
This is an old English saying (谚语). It means that we should go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever.
Is this true? Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children of your age need ten hours’ sleep every night. If you go to bed late, you can’t have enough sleep. Then you can’t think carefully and your homework will be wrong. You will not be wise and you may not become wealthy!
Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is not good for them. We should sleep at night when it is dark. The dark helps us sleep well. When the daylight comes, we should get up. This is the time for exercise. If the body is not used, it will become weak. Exercise keeps it strong.
Exercise helps the blood (血液) to move around inside the body. Blood takes nutrition (营养) to all parts of our bodies. The brains (大脑) in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy, and take exercise, we can think better!
Our bodies also need air to breathe (呼吸). Without air we will die. Get up early in the morning and we can have plenty of clean, fresh air. That will keep us healthy and happy.

Tigers are strong and dangerous animals. But now they are in danger.
In the past, there were eight kinds of tigers in the world. But during the 20th century, only five were left. The number of Siberian tigers (东北虎) was about 300, but now it is less than 22. They’re in danger of dying out. If the government does nothing, we won’t be able to see them in ten to twenty years.
In order to stop people from hunting and killing wild tigers, and in order to make wild tigers more, the World Wildlife Fund (世界自然基金会) has started a program (项目) recently (最近). China and twelve other countries joined it.
However, it’s not enough. Remember that nature is a food chain (链). If we hurt and kill too many wild deer and pigs, wild tigers will die out because of hunger (饥饿). So the most important thing is to save the animals that tigers eat. In order to protect the wild tigers, we need call on (号召) more people to stop eating, hunting and killing wild animals.
