Dear Miss Li,

I’d like to thank you for sending money    1   “Animal Helpers”, an organization set up to help disabled people. You see, you have helped    2   it possible for me to have “Lucky”. My life    3  pleasure because of him now. Let me tell you my story.

Being blind, deaf, unable to walk or use your hands    4   is something that most people cannot imagine. But there are many people who face these challenges, and I am one of them. Because I can’t use my arms or legs well, things like answering the telephone, opening and   5

doors or carrying things have always been difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine said that she would like to    6  . She said she would talk to “Animal Helpers” to see   

  7    it would be possible for me to get a trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I told her that I love animals and that I’d love to have a dog.

   8   six months of training with a dog at “Animal Helpers”, I was able to   9   him

home. My dog’s name is “Lucky” – a good name for him    10   I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m only able to have a “dog-helper” because of your kind donation!

  11  , you might ask? Well, he has been trained to    12   different instructions. For example, I say, “Lucky! Fetch my book,” and he does it at once. He is very clever and understands many English words, even some difficult    13   like “upstairs”.

Lucky is an    14   dog. I’ll send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me too one day. And so I thank you again for supporting “Animal Helpers”. It is very important that this organization does not run out of money. Your donation   15   and the money is well used to help disabled people like me.

Best wishes,

Liz Smith

Scientists study the world and learn about things using a process called the scientific method(方法). By asking important questions and   16  the answers, it is possible to make amazing discoveries! Sometimes a scientist is   17  to answer his own questions, but if he has taken good notes another scientist may come along later who is able to use new knowledge to answer it.

When you use the scientific method to   18  an experiment, you start by making observations(观察) about something that  19  you. Based on your observations, you make a hypothesis. This is using  20  you know to make a smart guess about what you think could happen. Then you are ready to begin your experiment. All   21  your experiment you take down notes, which are   22   experiment date(资料). You are constantly making observations during this time. You may make discoveries that cause you to improve your experiment as you go.   23  , you conclude your experiment and begin to look over your notes to decide what it all means. Based on what you have learned, you make a final statement about   24  your hypothesis was correct or not. You have to have reasons and evidence to support what you are saying.

Using the scientific method can be difficult, but rewarding. Because all the steps are organized in a process, the   25  are more valid(可信的). When you provide observations as evidence to support what you are saying, your ideas are more likely to be accepted.
