Mary was in bed，feeling sleepy.She read the first few words of her book， "The dodo（渡渡鸟） was a bird that couldn't fly ..."，and soon she fell fast asleep.
Whoosh!The window flew wide open.Mary sat up，and through the window she saw a dodo，an unusual dodo，right there in her yard!
"I lived over four hundred years ago，" the dodo said. "But then terrible things happened.People cut down the forests，so we had nothing to eat.We all died." The dodo felt sad.
Suddenly，a mammoth（猛犸） rushed in.It said， "I've been looking for you，Dodo!I lived thousands of years ago，but not now." It added， "Scientists think the weather changed，changing the environment where we lived.We ate grass，but as the weather grew warmer，forests spread and there was less grass to eat."
Seconds later，an elephant bird came.It said proudly， "I'm the heaviest bird that's ever lived.I weigh half a ton.But we lived on earth over a thousand years ago."
The animals all looked sad.Before they had time to say another word，a tiger came in. "My friends，" said，showing its big teeth. "I hear what you are talking about.We tigers are lucky.Now there are some special places for us animals who are in danger.We are safe and no one can hurt us there.
"Sounds great!" thought Mary. "Animals should have more of this kind of places!"
The window blew shut，and Mary woke up with a start.There was no one and nothing to see，except the book in her hand.

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those people who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who has cars may want to walk on the country road at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into __it__. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. When you take lessons, your parents are always taking care of your life and health. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them , you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It’s a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck.

Do you often feel weak or tired when you get up in the morning? Do you often wake up with a headache? Well, if the answer is yes, take Dr. Talbot’s advice (建议) and start feeling better.
Get up and move. If you hate feeling tired and unhappy, you should start exercising. Try running, swimming or cycling. When we exercise, our body produces special chemicals(化学产品) that give us energy and make us feel happier. If you dislike exercising, listen to your favourite music and dance to it. That’s exercise, too.
Eat healthily. You should eat three balanced meals every day and you shouldn’t eat too much fast food. If you need some more extra energy the whole day, make an energy drink. Mix together fresh fruit juice and low-fat milk. It tastes great.
Get out close to the open air. The smell of flowers will make you feel happy. Even the smell of your favourite food can change the way you feel!
Wake your body up. When you have a shower, change the water from hot to cold and back to hot again. You’ll feel the difference.
Laugh! You should laugh for, at least, three minutes, three times a day. It will make you feel great!
| Problem: You feel tired and weak or wake up with a ___ |
| Dr. Talbot’s advice: ● Start ___ ● Listening to your favourite music and __ ● Don’t eat too much ___ ● Drink the mixed fresh fruit juice to get more extra ___ ● Stay ___ ● Wake up your body by __ ● Try to laugh for at least ___ |
It is not easy for people to sail (航海) around the world in quite small boats. Sometimes the weather gets bad. Accidents can happen easily and quickly.
One family once had an accident. A big fish swam under their boat and bit holes in it. Sea water came in and the boat soon went down. Luckily these people had another small boat——a lifeboat, so they all got into the lifeboat. They lived in the boat for many days. They ate and slept, and always hoped. At last people in a ship saved them.
How do people live in a very small lifeboat for a long time? They must be strong in every way, they must have a hope, and they must have a strong desire（愿望）to live. People cannot drink seawater. If they drink a lot of sea water, they will quickly die. They must catch rainwater and drink it. They must also catch fish and birds for food. Lifeboats do not often carry cookers. So people can not cook their food in the lifeboats. Raw (生的) fish and birds are not very nice but they are their only food. They must eat raw food, or they will die.When the boat sank (下沉), the lifeboat gave the people _______.
| A．food | B．beds | C．rainwater | D．hope |
One family once had an accident at sea, because _______.
| A．their boat met bad weather | B．their boat hit a big rock and it was broken |
