One day a police officer managed to get some fresh mushrooms．He was so pleased with what he had bought that he offered to share the mushrooms with his fellow officers．When their breakfast arrived the next day，each officer found some mushrooms on his plate．
One officer looked at the mushrooms carefully and then suggested，"They look nice，but I heard that some mushrooms might be poisonous（有毒的）．Let's get Jimmy to examine a piece for us．"Jimmy was the dog they kept．They brought it in，and fed it one piece of mushroom．The dog quickly ate it，and seemed to enjoy his mushroom．Fifteen minutes later，Jimmy was still alive and kicking without showing any discomfort．The officers were relieved（放心的） and began to eat their meal，saying that the mushrooms had a very strange but quite pleasant taste．
However，an hour later，the gardener rushed into the room and reported in a sad voice that the dog was dead．The officers were astonished and their faces turned white out of fear．Immediately，they jumped into their cars and rushed to the nearest hospital．The doctors and nurses used pumps（吸物器） to help them get rid of the mushrooms that remained in their stomachs．Everyone had a hard time．
When they returned to the police station，they sat down and started to discuss the mushroom poisoning．Each man explained the pains he had felt and they agreed that it had grown worse on their way to the hospital．"The poor dog must have died a painful death，"said one officer．"Let's ask the gardener how it died．"
So they called the gardener in and asked him more details about Jimmy's death．The gardener sighed and said，"Jimmy was a good dog．It is said that a car hit him in the middle of the road．But I guess it didn't suffer much．It died the moment it was hit．"

88．What did the police officer want to do with the fresh mushrooms？He wantedtosharethemushroomswithhisfellowofficers．

3．Dear Friend，
I want to tell you about Yuri．Yuri is a young brown bear．He was born in winter and like all bear cubs，he was blind and he had no teeth．His mother was sleeping in her den（兽穴），deep inside the Russian forest．Outside，it was very cold and everything was covered by thick snow．Inside the den with his mother，however，Yuri felt safe and warm．
Then，when Yuri was only a few weeks old，some hunters came．Dogs were sent into the den．Yuri's mother was woken up by the dogs．She tried to protect her cub，but when she climbed out of the den，she was shot by the hunters．
Every year，between 3，000and 4，000brown bears are hunted and killed like this．There are only 110，000brown bears in Russia today and they almost disappear in other European countries．Their meat and fur are sold for thousands of dollars，so people will continue to hunt them．The cubs are usually just left to die．Without their mothers they can't survive．
Yuri，however，was lucky．He was found by one of the hunters and he was taken to The Russian Bear Orphanage，350kilometers northwest of Moscow．The orphanage is run by Professor Valentin Pazhetnov．Here，Yuri will be looked after．He and other orphan bears will be fed and taught how to survive．When they are old enough，they will be taken to a nature reserve in Bryansk，where they will be protected．Professor Pazhetnov hopes that in the future some bears will be released in other European countries where they are now extinct．
So far，over a hundred bear cubs have been saved by the orphanage．Seventy bears have been returned to the forest．We want to save more．That's why I'm writing to you now．Money is needed for food，transport and for people to look after the baby bears．Yuri and his friends need your help．Please send a donation （捐赠） today．Together we can save the orphan bears．
Thank you．
Yours sincerely，
Fred

89．What happened to Yuri's mother when he was only a few weeks old？She was shot by the hunters．
90．The brown bears have disappeared in Europe now，haven't they？No，they haven't．
91．Where will the orphan bears be sent when they are old enough？They will be sent to a nature reserve in Bryansk．
92．Why did Fred write to his friend？Because he wanted his friends to help save more bears．
93．If you are Fred's friend，what will you do？Why？I will donate some money because I love the animals．

2．①After months of hard work，it's time to have fun during the summer holiday!If you are still planning what you are going to do during the days，why not enjoy a visit to a theme （主题） park？
②Lots of theme parks have roller coasters （过山车）．A roller coaster is anything that may appear dangerous while in fact，it's perfectly safe for family fun as long as you are over the height of 48inches．If you like heart-stopping thrills，this"scream machine"is your best choice．For example，Kingda Ka is a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Great Adventure in the United States．It is the world's tallest roller coaster，the world's second fastest roller coaster．Riding this roller coaster makes you feel like you are flying．One second you may be looking at the sky and the next you are looking straight down at the ground!
③Does this sound scary （惊悚的） to you？If so，we will take you to other theme parks around the world．Ocean Park in Hong Kong is the first stop．You can walk through an underwater tunnel as sharks swim overhead or watch a dolphin swimming show．Besides，cable cars will carry you more than 200metres to the top of the park．
④Europa-Park is another good choice．If you think a few'days are not enough to travel through Europe，this theme park in Germany will show you what other European countries are like．Europa-Park has 12country-themed areas．You can first ride French bobsleds （雪橇），then eat Greek sandwiches and then take a roller coaster based on the Russian space station-all in one day!Besides，Europa-Park is very real．The street lights in the Spanish part are from Spain and the small houses in the Swiss part come from Switzerland．
⑤Our last stop is Universal's Islands in the US，a world-famous dinosaur theme park．If you are a fan of dinosaurs，it is just the place for you．You can have an unforgettable experience and see dinosaurs in their natural homes．But be careful!Escaping from the terrible mouth of a hungry dinosaur is a 26-metre drop into the darkest darkness!

1．Twenty years ago，I drove a taxi for a living．One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2：30am．When I arrived to collect，I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window．
I walked to the door and knocked，"Just a minute，"answered a weak，elderly voice．After a long pause，the door opened．A small woman in her eighties stood before me．By her side was a small suitcase．
I took the suitcase to the car，and then returned to help the woman．She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car．She kept thanking me for my kindness．"It's nothing，"I told her．"I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated．"
"Oh，you're such a good man．"She said．When we got into the taxi，she gave me an address，and the asked，"Could you drive through downtown？"

I quietly reached over and shut off the meter（计价器）．
For the next two hours，we drove through the city．She showed me the building where she had once worked，the neighborhood where she had lived，and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl．Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness，saying nothing．
At dawn，she suddenly said，"I'm tired．Let's go now．"
We drove in silence to the address she had given me．
"How much do I pay for you？"she asked．
"Nothing．"I said．
"You have to make a living，"she answered．"Oh，there are other passengers，"I answered．
Almost without thinking，I bent and gave her a hug．She held onto tightly．Our hug ended with her remark，"You gave an old woman a little moment of joy．"

19．My sister Alli and I have been trying to get people to stop dropping cigarette butts（烟蒂） for seven years．
One day，we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground．They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people stop dropping butts．We called it"No Butts About It"．
At first，we drew pictures with"The Earth Is Not Your Ashtray（烟灰缸）"written on them．We put the pictures around our hometown--in parks，by beaches，and along roads．We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts hurts the environment．Most smokers don't think that dropping butts hurt the earth．But it does!All rubbish does．
Later，we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us．We used the money to buy ashtrays to give smokers．We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so they didn't have to drop butts．
At the moment，we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes．Some companies want to do it．
Many people have started to join our group since it began．Today there are 45other"No Butts About It"groups in America．And there are even groups in England，Australia and India!
Many newspapers have written about my sister and I over the last seven years．And we have won many prizes for our good work．But we are not interested in prizes．We just want to make the earth a better and cleaner place for animals，plants and people．One day it will be．
