Monkeys are clever and lively, but they are naughty and greedy (贪婪的) as well. Whenver they find delicious food, they will eat enough. What’s more, they will take it when they leave. They have suffered (吃亏) a lot because of this. But they never change this way.
In India, people use monkey’s greed to catch them. Do you know how they can catch monkeys? Here are some instructions.
◆ Make a hole in a big pumpkin (南瓜). The hole must be just right ----neither too big nor too small.
◆ Put some jujubes (枣) in the hole.
◆ Leave the pumpkin under a tree. Make sure there are some monkeys in the tree.
◆ Hide yourself and watch the monkeys.
As soon you leave, the monkeys can’t wait to come down to the pumpkin. When they find a hole in the pumpkin, they don’t know what’s in it and one of them can't help putting its hand into the hole to find what on earth there is. When it touches the jujubes, it will clench (攥紧) some of them in its hand. As a result, it isn’t able to take its fist (拳) out of the hole. You can’t come close until this time. Will the monkey drop off the pumpkin? Don’t worry. It prefers the pumpkin than its life. It will run with the pumpkin, clenching its fist more tightly. In the end, it is caught helplessly.

Tiny plants and animals live all around us. We cannot see them because they are so small, but they are everywhere.
They live in the soil, the air, and in rivers and oceans. They grow on mountains and in caves. Some live in the ice at the north and south poles; some live where it is very hot. They are found throughout cities and in the country. They grow on other plants and animals. Some are even living on you, on your skin, hair, and inside your body, in your mouth, nose, and all through your intestines (肠).
These tiny plants and animals are called microbes. The word microbe is made from two other words: micro, meaning small, and bios, meaning life. So, microbe means small life.
Microbes have been on earth for a very long time. They may have been the first forms of life to be alive. Today there are more microbes in the world than all other living things.
People did not know microbes had existed (存在) long. They were too small for them to see.
But people did see many changes in their world—important changes. And they did not know what caused them. They saw food that they kept too long change color and begin to smell bad. They saw cuts and wounds grow red and painful and become infected. They saw old plants and leaves and trees crumble apart on the forest floor and disappear into the soil. Such changes were a natural part of the world, but people did not understand them. They did not know these changes were evidence (证据) of tiny plants and animals growing all around them.
1.Where do microbes live?
A. Only in the forest., B. Almost everywhere.
C. Most in very hot areas., D. Most in rivers and oceans.

Dolphins (海豚) are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time - at least twenty or thirty years.
Like some animals, dolpins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.
Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.
There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area-except for The Penguin.
Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.

As time passed by, the potatoes went bad and smelt nasty.
