Dolphins are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this way they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brains are nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time—at least twenty or thirty years.

Like some animals, dolphins use sounds 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.

Have you ever been sad because of failure? Please remember, for quite often achieving what you set out do is not the most important thing.

A boy decided to dig a deep hole behind his house. As he was working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “I want to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling him that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a while, the boy picked up a jar. He showed it to the visitors. It was full of all kinds of stones and insects. Then he said calmly and confidently, “Maybe I can’t finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I’ve found during this period!”

The boy’s goal was far too difficult, but it did cause him to go on. And that is what a goal is for-to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen, in other words, to cause us to keep working!

Not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you fall short of your aim, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look at what I’ve found along the way! There are so many wonderful things having come into my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really makes sense.

1.The older boys laughed at the boy because he was thought to be______.

A. braveB. impolite

C. foolishD. warm-hearted

2. Why did the boy show the jar to the older boys?

B. To show what he had found in digging.

C. To show how beautiful the jar was.

D. To attract them to join him in the work.

3.What can be learnt from the fourth paragraph of the text?

A. No dream can come true.

B. All work will end successfully.

C. Goals shouldn’t be set too high.

D. Goals will make us work harder.

4.The best title for the text should be______.

A. A Boy Dug a Hole

B. Joy in the Journey

C. No Pain, No Gains

D. Failure Is the Mother of Success

As those with experience know, children with special needs can require extra help during the holidays. 1. Here are some suggestions that may help.

Allow the child to have as much of their routine as possible. A treasured stuffed animal by the child’s side can go a long way towards helping him or her feel centred in the busy holiday rush. A beloved blanket can help a child who feels upset feel secure.

Parents like their children to look good, but remember that sensory issues can cause a child discomfort, which can lead to breakdown. 2. Soft cottons and cottons are comfortable. Avoid nylon and netting. Not all children with special needs have a problem with these, but if yours does, sacrifice fashion for peace of mind for you both.

Limit holiday parties and try to keep to regular bedtime. Have familiar foods available for the child, amid all the other holiday choices. If entertaining at home, help the child go 3. Another alternative is to set out toys in a common area that are okay to share.

4. Crowds and noise can be bad for kids with autism. If you must shop, stick to smaller stores away from the large metropolitan malls.

Consider reducing the amount of presents. Kids don’t care as much as parents do about the number of gifts. For the child with autism, who may have a limited attention span, set him up for success. 5.

The holidays can be a magical time. With a bit of planning, the holidays can be memorable and successful for your child.

A. These are toys no one else can use.

B. Concentrate on the fun of the gifts rather than the quantity.

C. Compromise with clothes that look good, but feel good, too.

D. The more toys you have, the happier they will feel.

E. The lack of routine, novel situations and unexpected guests can throw off their peace.

F. Pay special attention to what your child likes most

G. Try to avoid taking the child for shopping during this time of year.
