Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. Some heroes, like Lucca, are not even human. Lucca is a 12-year-old US Marine Crops (º£¾ü½ս¶Ó) dog. On April 5, Lucca received an award for her brave military service, during which she lost one of her front legs. Lucca is now retired and lives in California.

Lucca was in London, England, to receive the Dickin Medal from the British charity People¡¯s Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA). The organization provides free medical care to the sick and injured pets of people in need. The PDSA calls the Dickin Medal ¡°the highest award any animal in the world can achieve while serving in military conflict (¾üʳåÍ»)¡±.

Lucca is the first US Marine Crops dog to receive the medal. She and her owner, Gunnery Willingham, traveled to London, England, for the award ceremony. ¡°Lucca is very intelligent and had an amazing drive for work.¡± Willingham said.

Lucca was trained to find hidden weapons and explosive devices. She lost one of her legs in an explosion while on patrol (ѲÂß) in Afghanistan in 2012.

During her six years of active military service in Iraq and Afghanistan, Lucca completed more than 400 missions. She was trained to find hidden weapons and explosive devices. She was so effective on duty that no human troops were killed during any of her patrols.

But Lucca did not escape injury. On March 23, 2012, she was on patrol in Afghanistan¡¯s Helmand province. An explosive device was set off under her. Lucca lost her front left leg right away. She also suffered serious burns on her body.

Lucca is the 66th animals to receive the Dickin Medal since it was introduced in 1943. The award has been given to 30 dogs (including Lucca), 32 World War II messenger pigeons, three horses and one cat.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith have just opened a small restaurant. In order to attract customers (ÎüÒý¹Ë¿Í),they put a notice( ²¼¸æ) in front of the restaurant, which said "Meals on the House for Three Days."

A foreign student who didn't know much English happened to pass by the restaurant on the second day. It was lunchtime and he felt very hungry. "Well, here is a restaurant. I am going to have something to eat." He walked to the restaurant when he saw the notice. "American people are really strange. They even eat meals on the house! But how can I get up to the top of the house?" he said to himself.

He looked around and found a ladder against a tree nearby. He was very glad. But as he reached the top, he heard someone shouting at him, "Hey, what are you doing up there?" Mr Smith was looking at him angrily, and beside him was a policeman. ¡°Doesn¡¯t your notice say ¡®Meals on the House for Three Days¡¯? Is it just a joke?" the foreign student answered.

On hearing this, both Mr. Smith and the policeman laughed. Do you know what the meaning of MEALS ON THE HOUSE is? Look it up in the dictionary.

An organism¡¯s environment is all the living and nonliving things that surround and influence the organism(ÉúÎïÌå). You are living with many things that make your environment suitable for you to live in. Would that be true if you lived in a swamp(ÕÓÔó)?

Environments include biotic parts and abiotic parts. Biotic parts are the living things in an environment: plants, animal, and other organisms. Abiotic parts are the nonliving things. Abiotic parts of an environment include climate, water, earth, light, air and nutrients. The abiotic parts of an environment have an important role. Temperature and amount of water influence which plants and animals can live in a place. An ibis(Öìûq) gets used to living in a warm, wet swamp and cannot live in a hot, dry desert.

An ecosystem is all the organisms living in a place together with their environment. An ecosystem can be huge, such as a large forest or desert. Or it can be small, such as a small pool or a single bush. Each ecosystem has its own collection of living and nonliving things.

A swamp ecosystem is made up of both living and nonliving things. The climate, plenty of water, air, muddy soils are all abiotic parts that make swamps different from other environments. Birds, black bears, trees, bushes, and mosquitoes are all biotic parts of a swamp environment.

1.Biotic parts include many things in an environment except _________.

A. snakes B. strawberry C. wheat D. sand

2.The example of an ibis is used to explain the importance of _________.

A. the organisms B. the abiotic parts C. the ecosystem D. the swamp

3.The underlined word ¡°abiotic¡± probably _____ in Chinese in this passage

A. »·¾³µÄ B. ÎÞÉúÃüµÄ C. ΢ÉúÎïµÄ D. ×ÔÈ»µÄ

4.Which of the fo1lowing is not true?

A. If all swamps disappear, ibis will be endangered.

B. In an ecosystem, abiotic parts are not connected to the living things.

C. An ecosystem can be very big or very small.

D. An ecosystem includes living things along with nonliving things.

5.The best title of this passage is _________.

A. What is an ecosystem? B. An Organism¡¯s Environment

C. A Swamp Ecosystem D. The Biotic and Abiotic Parts of An Environment
