We know people can be nice，but what about animals？
Scientists say that some animals are capable（有能力的） of being nice．Animals that live in groups﹣like foxes，chimpanzees （大猩猩），and elephants﹣follow rules．They have to followrules to get along and to survive（生存）．However，animals can act nicely，even when they don't have to． Here are some surprising stories about animal behavior．
Most people usually walk away when someone is unkind to them．Marc Bekoff，a researcher at the University of Colorado，saw a female （母的）red fox do just that． The female fox was unhappy because a male（公的）fox played roughly（粗鲁地）with her．When she walked away，the male fox showed her that he wanted to play nicely．He lowered his head and rolled on his back．The female fox gave him another chance，and this time，he played more gently．
Geza Teleki is a scientist who studies chimpanzees in Tanzania．One day，Teleki hiked far away from his campsite．He didn't have any food．Teleki wanted some fruit from a tree，but the tree was too tall． A young chimpanzee watched him curiously as he tried to get something to eat．The chimpanzee climbed the tree，picked the fruit，and gave it to him!
An elephant in Kenya hurt his trunk（象鼻子）．He needed help because he couldn't put food into his mouth．Researcher Kayhan Ostovar watched silently．He saw the hurt elephant show his sore trunk to a healthy elephant．The healthy elephant didn't need any more information．He took a bush and put it carefully into his new friend's mouth．
Hippos（河马）and crocodiles are usually good friends．They hang out together in rivers．But Karen Paolillo，a wildlife expert in Zimbabwe，saw something surprising．One day，a crocodile tried to eat a monkey that was next to a river．A hippo ran quickly to the crocodile and chased it away．Why did the hippo attack （攻击） the crocodile？ Paolillo says hippos sometimes protect other animals from crocodiles．

Naturally, American schoolchildren love holidays. And they get a lot of them each year.
Besides having national holidays such as Thanksgiving and Presidents’ Day off from school, students get longer breaks in the spring and during the summer holidays .In fact, kids in US only go to school for about 180 days a year .To students, holidays are perfect .However, parents think there are advantages and disadvantages.
On the one hand, school holidays allow families to spend time together. Many American parents take time off from work during June ,July or August to travel with their children on vacation either in US or a foreign country. On the other hand, schoolchildren get much more time off school than parents get vacation time. This means that parents with young children may have to pay more in babysitting or daycare costs. As well, the long summer holidays mean that students sometimes get bored .
Besides going on trips with their parents, American students enjoy taking part in different kinds of activities during the holidays. For example, some kids enjoy summer camps and outdoor adventure(冒险) holidays. Such trips are great for adventurous students. They also have a lot to offer students who aren’t usually interested in traditional PE activities. You can do courses in survival(生存) skills, for example. Students learn how to make a camp in the forest, which wild food they can eat and how to find their way back to the center.
Students who are not excited about summer camps and outdoor adventure may take part in courses in computer game design, filmmaking and photography during the holidays. Finally, the traditional school trip to foreign countries is always popular. Students can practice their foreign language skills and experience everyday life in a different culture.How long are kids in the US at school every year?

On 22nd January, 2007, Dave Cornthwaite from the UK became the first person to skateboard across Australia. He made a new world record, by skating a total of 5,823 kilometers. Jack Smith, the previous (前任的) champion, had skated a total of 4,830 kilometers across the US in 2003. Dave’s journey started in Perth and ended in Brisbane traveling about 60 kilometers a day. It took him five months and 13 pairs of shoes. He had great physical pain and he got really sore feet.
If Dave hadn’t believed in making his dreams come true, none of this would have happened. Dave left his job two weeks after he had bought a skateboard and decided to go on a journey. He wanted this journey to be about something more than him, so he created an association that would raise money for charities. “If people follow my journey and donations, then I’m doing many people a lot of good,” said Dave. This journey had plenty of challenges. He traveled across the Australian desert (沙漠) where temperatures reached 48℃ in the day and 0℃ at night. He had a serious accident in Adelaide when he jumped on a piece of metal that cut through his foot.
Dave helped raise more than ￡50,000 for children’s charities, wrote a book and encouraged others to follow in his footsteps. I wish we had more people like him leading the way!Where is Dave from?
