  Dolphins are not fish.They are mammals(哺乳动物).They live in groups and speak to each other in their own language.But they are quite different from almost all land animals.Their brain(大脑)is as big as men’s and they live a long life at least 20 or 30 years.

  Like some animals, dolphins use sounds to help them find their way around.They also use these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food.They do not use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaw-the lower part of the mouth.

  It is strange that dolphins are friendly to men, and for thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and men.In the 19th century, in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin.The seamen liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack.From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way.In 1903 a passenger on a boat with the name of The Penguin shot and hurt Jack.Luckily the dolphin didn’t die, and after a long time he was well again.He guided the ships through the area for nine more years, but he refused to help the boat of the Penguin.

  Today, some people still kill dolphins, but many countries in the world now protect them.In these places, people are not allowed to kill them.

  Dolphins are not fish, but warm-blooded animals.They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language.In a 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 humans, and they live a long time-at least twenty or thirty years.

  Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help themselves find their way around.They also make the sound to talk to each other and to help them find food.We now know they do not use their ears to receive the sound, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.

  Strangely, dolphins seem to like humans, 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.

  Passage E

Sending E-cards on the Internet

  The Internet has changed our habits, including our habit of sending greeting cards. There are many e-card websites that make it so easy to find the right greeting cards. They have greatly changed the way we send greetings to each other.

  Our lives have become so busy that we have limited personal time . These e-card websites have allowed everyone to easily share their feelings and emotions(感情) with the people they love. They contain (包括)plenty of greeting cards that can be used immediately. The users can choose any card they like, from festival greetings to birthday wishes. In fact, e-cards are perfect for any event. That's why more and more people like to send e-cards. If the users are interested in making their own greeting cards on the Internet, they can create a card within only a few minutes.

  Another benefit(好处) of e-card websites is that they have made it possible for us to send top quality cards to our beloved(心爱的) ones and surprise them with cheerful greetings. They allow us to send our greetings on a specific(特定的) date. So we can plan for the occasion(场合) when we want to send the card. For example, we can send our e-card on a certain day and then visit the person with some flowers the next day. This will surely create a good impression(印象) on the person we love.

  We have never forgotten the importance of saying sorry to our beloved ones. But sometimes we fail to do so because, we are not brave enough to face those we hurt. Some e-cards on these websites allow us to express our feelings in a more thoughtful way.

  Although some people still would rather buy traditional cards in the shops for the persons they love, especially when they want the cards to last a long time, more and more people are choosing to send greetings on the Internet.
