There are about 80,000,000 mines (地雷) under the ground in more than 60 countries. It is difficult and dangerous to clear these mines. About 50 people including many children were killed or hurt each day. In 2003, APOPO, a Dutch research company that trains the animals, came up with the idea of using rats to search for the mines.

The animal trainers found that a kind of rats from Africa were clever and had a sharp sense of smell. The rats were about 75 cm long and weighed about 1.35kg, light enough to run across a minefield without setting off the mines.

In January 2004, the APOPO started this project. First, the trainers let the 4-week-old baby rats get familiar with humans. A few weeks later, the rats were not afraid of people and the things around them anymore. Then they were trained to connect a click sound with food. After the rats had learned that, the trainers then taught them to tell the difference between the smell of mines and other smells. When the rats could do it, the click was sounded and they were given a bit of banana. The method was called clicker training. "The training isn't easy," said trainer Abdullah Mchomvu. "You have to be patient. Sometimes I get angry, but then again, I tell myself these are animals".

After nine months' training, the rats were taken to a minefield. They ran across the minefield, stopped, sat and searched the ground to tell the domineers (排雷员) that they smelt out a mine. Then the mine was cleared. It had taken two domineers a day to clear a 200 ㎡ minefield, but with the help of two rats they could finish it in two hours.

The rats and the domineers saved thousands of lives, "The rats did this job much better than we expected. So far they have helped to make almost 2,000,000 ㎡of land safe. "They are heroes". Said Bart Weetjens, the head of the APOPO.

1.While training the rats, the trainers have to be ________.

A.clever B.patient C.brave D.serious

2.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A.Each day about 50 children were killed or hurt by mines.

D.The rats and the domineers saved thousands of lives.

3.What does the passage mainly tell us about?

A.Mines are all over the world and very dangerous.

B.Rats are very clever and useful.

C.People can train the rats to help them clear mines.

D.It is very difficult for people to find out the mines.

In England, people can go to the nearby hospital to see a doctor when they are ill. The doctor usually asks about their problems or illness, and then he or she will give them a prescription (处方) for some medicine.

Not all people go to see a doctor when they feel sick. For example, when they only have a cold, they don’t go to see their doctors. They only go to the medicine shop to buy some medicine.

When people are badly ill, the doctor will go to their houses. In an emergency(紧急情况) people can call 999 for an ambulance. The ambulance can take them to the hospital very soon. When they are in hospital, their friends or family members can go to see them at a certain time, but they can’t stay long.

Usually people have to pay for the doctors' prescriptions. And the price is the same for any kind of medicine. But when children, students, old people or people without jobs go to see their doctors, they don' t have to pay for their prescriptions.

We all admit that dreams play a very important part in our life. They can influence every aspect of our life. Almost every great achievement has been the result of years of dreaming. If a person has a dream and holds fast to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality(现实).

Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for being naive. With their rich imagination, they will come up with fantastic dreams. History is full of examples. Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One such dreamer was Thomas Edison. He used to be ostracized(排斥) when he was in primary school, but his achievements were greater than everyone else's in his time.

Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged to dream. The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. Their dreams changed their lives and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress to humans besides making money for themselves.

Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Sanders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company(KFC)in the world.

You are never too young or too old to dream and to make your dreams come true. Be brave enough to have a wonderful dream which can lead to wonderful results sooner or later.
