 Two dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park. The smaller dolphin Grace,shows off a few of her tricks,turning around and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thing about her,however,is that she's even swimming

at all. She doesn't have a tail.

 Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap. When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005,she was fighting for her life. "Is she going to make it?" her trainer,Abbey Stone,feared the worst. Grace did make it―but her tail didn't. She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.

  Over the past six years,she has learned to swim without her tail. Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down. Grace taught herself to move another way―like a fish!She pushed herself forward through the water by moving her peduncle from side to side.

  The movements put harmful pressure on Grace's backbone. So a company of?fered to create a man-made tail for her. The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldn't hurt her.

  The first time Grace wore the artificial tail,she soon shook it off and let it sink in the bottom of the pool. Now,she is still learning to use the tail. Some days she wears it for an hour at a time,others not at all. "The tail isn't necessary for her to feel comfortable," says Stone, "but it helps to keep that range of motion (动作) and build muscles (肌肉) .”

  Now,the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending. This month,Grace will star in Dolphin Tale,a film that focuses on her rescue and recovery. Her pro?gress has inspired more than just a new movie. Many people travel from near and far to meet her. Seeing Grace swim with her man-made tail gives people so much courage.

 The US has a tradition of religious tolerance and every resident (居民) has total freedom of religion without hindrance from the state or community.

  Although the influence of religion decreased in most Western socie?ties in the latter part of the 20th century,the US has remained religious (it's one of the world's most deeply religious nations) . The national motto "In God We Trust" is in?scribed upon US coins,and the pledge of allegiance (效忠宣誓) to the American flag still refers to the US as "one nation under God" despite a few legal attempts to have the words removed. Religion is a part of Americans' everyday life (only sport is taken more seriously) .

  More than 90 per cent of Americans claim to believe in God (and Mammon) , two thirds are members of a local church or temple and around 4. 5 per cent attend religious services at least once a week. Some 60 per cent of Americans are Protestant,25 per cent Roman Catholic,2 per cent Jewish,1 per cent Orthodox and 4 per cent belong to other religions such as Buddhist,Hindu or Moslem (the remaining 8 per cent claim no religion) .

  Not surprisingly,more Americans believe in heaven (around 80 per cent) than hell (65 per cent) , and 70 per cent believe in life after death. As a consequence of the diverse religions,Americans refer to "first" or "given" names,rather than "Christian" names.

  Astonishingly,around one third of Americans claim to be " bornagain Chris?tians" ,because they believe life starts anew (重新) when you commit yourself to Jesus Christ (being born again doesn't,however,guarantee you a longer life) . They believe that every word in the Bible is literally true and that Darwin's theory of evo?lution is false. The southern and southwest regions are known as the "bible belt" because of such people's firm belief. In many parts of the US,there's a determina?tion by religious believers to force nonbelievers into their views,often through socalled street preachers (传道者) .

Kids' health ： four steps for fighting stress Everybody gets stressed from time to time. 22      Some ways of dealing with stress―like screaming or hit?ting someone―don't solve much. But other ways,like talking to someone you trust,can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.

Try taking these four steps next time you are stressed ：

(1) Get support. When you need help,reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult,such as a parent or other relatives. 23      They might have had similar prob?lems,such as dealing with a test,or the death of a belov?ed pet.

(2) Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh,dear,that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. 24     

(3) Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends,it's time to get down to business. 25      Even if you can't solve it all,you can solve a piece of it.

(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary (暂时的) . Remember stress does go away,especially when you fig?ure out the problem and start working on solving it.

These steps aren't magic,but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time,you'll help yourself feel better even faster. 26     

   A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.

   B. Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them.

   C. Different people get rid of stress in different ways.

   D. Ah,it feels so good when the stress is gone.

   E.You need to figure out what the problem is.

   F.And don't forget about your friends. 

    G. Then,find a way to calm down.
