15．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 way 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，dolphins use sound to help them find their way around．They also use 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 1871to 1903Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way．Then in 1903a 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．

Last Monday，my classmate and I saw some people gathering in our way to school．In order to see what was happening，so we got close enough and found an old woman lie on the ground．The people around her just stand there，watching and chatting．We were worried about her and decided to take her to the hospital immediate．It turned out that she lost her balance but fell．She had to stay in hospital，so we called her family．Soon his son came and thanked us by offering us money．We refused money and left．Hurried to school，we found we were late．To out delight though，our teacher praised us for that we had done and we felt very proud．

13．Susan：I want to go to Paris again．I think it's perhaps （61）the most cultured city in the world．
Billy：But you （62）have seen （see） the famous museums and palaces there already．Won't you get （63）bored （bore） if you see them again？
Susan：Oh，Billy，you don't understand．The real （64）attraction （attract） of Paris doesn't lie in those famous science spots，though they are （65）certainly（certain） worth visiting．It lies in the life in Paris and the style of the Parisians．
Billy：Do you mean that you feel good just walking around the city？
Susan：Exactly!I find （66）it so relaxing to take a walk along the Seine River．And I also find the French can transform everyday objects （67）into works of art!
Billy：That's true．Even the little fountains and the iron garden gates have very delicate designs．
Susan：Yes，you're right．And with the evening （68）coming （come） to Paris，I felt even better when I heard music floating from the concerts in the cathedrals．
Billy：Parisians love music．Did you taste any of the French cuisine （菜肴）？It's said （69）that a person has never tasted the true flavor of France until he has dined in Paris．
Susan：Yes，I did．Both the food and the atmosphere in the restaurants （70）are （be） wonderful．

12．In 1985，a lionfish was caught off the coast of Florida．Now they can be found not only in the Atlantic Ocean but also in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea．And they are continuing to move south．Lionfish are native to the Indian and western Pacific Oceans．So how did they end up in the Atlantic？Scientists believe some pet owners abandoned their unwanted lionfish and poured them into the sea．Little did they know the trouble their actions would cause．
The Atlantic Ocean turned out to be a comfortable home for lionfish．Their venomous spines （毒刺） protect them from sharks and other fish．Female lionfish can spawn （产卵） every few days，producing as many as 2million eggs per year．Other big fish would have competed with lionfish for food．Bet overfishing has removed many of these large fish．As a result，the fish have eaten so much that they have grown to be more then three times the size of their cousins in the Pacific and Indian Oceans．"They eat mostly fish，"says Stephanie Green，a scientist at Oregon State University．
All that eating has caused great changes．Scientists have found that when lionfish are present somewhere，many other fish，which are small enough for them to eat，disappear．Some of the fish they eat are greatly missed in their habitats．For example，parrotfish eat certain plants off corals（珊瑚），which allows corals to grow better．But they are now disappearing due to lionfish．
Scientists say lionfish are here to stay．But there are ways to deal with the problem．The key，says Green，is to keep lionfish numbers in check．In Florida，drivers can now go though a special training program and get certified（授予合格证书） to catch lionfish in areas where fishing is not usually allowed．And a number of restaurants have added the fish to the menu．"It's going to be a long-term battle，but the missing sea species will come back someday，"says Green．

11．By 1938，Europe had been experiencing an increased number of attacks on Jews．With no end in sight，Jewish refugee（难民） agencies requested the British government to allow them to bring in only Jewish children under17years of age．This was to be only temporary，until the situation in their home countries was improved．
Kindertransport，meaning"children transport"in German，was then born．Children from Germany，Austria，Czechoslovakia，Poland and other Nazi-occupied regions were transported to the United Kingdom．There they were either placed with other families or in hostels．Later，it was found that many of these children were the only survivors of their families．Nicholas Winton was among those people who helped to save Jewish children．He managed to rescue 669children from Czechoslovakia and bring them safely to England．In 1938around Christmas，29-year-old Nicky was about to leave for a skiing holiday．Suddenly，Martin Blake，one of his good friends，contacted（联络） him from Czechoslovakia，asking him to travel there to help political refugees on the run from the Nazis．And Nicholas agreed．
Nicky spent his entire holiday of 3weeks in the capital city of Prague where he saw the situation first-hand．Once back in England，he immediately started organizing the evacuation（撤离） of children from the Czech region．From advertising for the necessary permits，Nicky worked tirelessly．By August 1939，669children had been helped by Nicky and his friends． Haplessly，the last group of children due to leave Prague in the beginning of September could not do so-World WarⅡbroke out，and swallowed them up．
Nicky did not discuss his particular task with his wife，Grete．It was only when she found a scrapbook in 1988，with names of the rescued children，their （lost） parents and the foster families that had taken them in，that his heroism came to light．Nicky has received several awards in Britain and the Czech Republic．

10．Four cinemas in the UK
The Kinema，Lincolnshire
It's a wooden building on the outside and a two-screen cinema on the inside，all nesting among pine trees in a tiny village．The Kinema showed its first film in 1922and the first six rows were deckchair （折叠帆布躺椅）．Today，it's more richly decorated．
"People come here because it's a fantastic experience，"says manager Philip Jones．"Many rooms in the Kinema are simple and not attractive，but we try to remain everything that makes it special．"
The Cube，Bristol
It's not really a cinema．It is a not-for-profit cooperative run by volunteers，which has been operating for the last 15years．
They are"unique for what we do，which is to operate seven nights a week and with no funding．"They make many things themselves，such as cola and yogurt．
The Broadway，Nottingham
A cinema has been here since the 1960s，when local fashion designer Paul Smith would come to see arty foreign films，which heavily influenced his career choice．Later，he designed the stripy（条纹的） sofas．
The Broadway was previously used as a church，but locals love it for its independent，art house，and DIY spirit．The Broadway also has a right-on restaurant，with locally sourced vegetables and salads，and even serves its own beer．
The Rex，Hertfordshire
It opened to the public in 1938and has been named the most beautiful cinema in the UK．There's a varied program with different films every night．Hot dogs and popcorn are banned．And a real person answers the phone when you call．
People speak very highly of the Rex．So do go，if only once，to see just how a cinema should be run．
