One day, a boy had a quarrel(争吵) with one of his classmates. He wasn't happy all day long. After school, he went to his grandfather and told him his1 angrily. "He is really a bad guy. He isn't my friend any more. I don't like him," the boy said. "and I hate him!"
The grandfather said with a kind smile, "Let me tell you a story, my dear. When I was a boy at your 2 , I, too, sometimes hated others for 3 they did."
The boy listened to his grandfather carefully as he went on, "There are always two tigers in my4 . One is good and kind. And he is friendly to others. He gets on well with everyone around him, but5 is bad and unfriendly. Even the smallest thing will make him angry. For this reason, he can't think carefully all the time so he can easily6 with everyone. The two tigers both try to control(控制) me. It is7 for me to live with them in my heart."
After hearing the story, the boy8 his grandfather's eyes for a while and asked, "Which tiger control you, grandfather?"
"The one that I feed. I always take care of the good and kind tiger. I try to forget the bad and unfriendly tiger. So I9 hate others and hardly ever get angry," the old man said10.
My father changed his job when I was ten years old , so my family moved to another city. I went to a new school. On the first day of my new school,I was very nervous.A girl named Rose smiled at me and asked me to sit near her. Later, we became good friends. I was a little shy before. But I became more active and outgoing because of her.
We can't see each other often now because we are not in the same city,but we write to each other all the time. In two weeks, it will be her twentieth birthday. I want to give her a special gift. A wallet or a card won't be very good. Finally , I decided to buy a lovely dog. I hope that a dog can be a good company(陪伴）for her.
When we have problems,our friends will try their best to help. When we feel unhappy, they will do what they can to make us happy. They are a great treasure in our life.
Patagonia, along the south top of South America, is very famous for its beautiful view (风景) and many kinds of animals. Those make it a popular place for visitors all over the world.
Start your trip between September and May.Remember that Patagonia is in the southern hemisphere(南半球), so the weather will be very pleasant and warm between September and May. Make your trip between October and February if you'd like to travel in its spring or summer months. If you like cool weather, you can visit it in March and April.
Book a flight (航班) to Chile or Argentina to start your trip. Look up flights from your city to Chile or Argentina. Fly into Santiago or Buenos Aires. There you can get lots of travel information about Patagonia. International flights can be a little expensive, so try to book your flight sooner rather than later(宜早不宜迟).
Order a bus seat to Patagonia. Book a bus seat if you plan to visit both Chile and Argentina. Remember that the bus ride takes 5 to 7 hours anywhere, as you will need to stop at customs(海关). Try to book it at least a month before your trip. It is about $80 for a one-way trip.
Can a dog talk to a person? Of course not, you may say. But now you should change your common idea and listen to what your dog is trying to say!
Not long ago, a smart dog told her owner(主人) how she felt through a special communication pad(通讯平台), and even "talk" in sentences!
Let's meet the smart dog Bunny. Her owner Alexis taught her how to make up sentences. That's right. Now she can use more than 40 words to tell her family how she feels. It's said that Bunny is a star with over 190,000 fans on TikTok(抖音). And it's all from a 45-button board(按钮板). Usually people use it to help people who have problems talking to others.▲
To teach Bunny different words, Alexis needs to show how she uses them in talking. Here is how Bunny learned the "outside". Alexis pressed the "outside" button and said the word "outside" before letting Bunny out. When Bunny came in, Bunny could press the button by herself. One by one, Bunny learned to "say" something like a common person. She even uses the board to tell Alexis, "Love you,Mum!"
Alexis decided to do this after seeing someone was successful(成功) in using the way to talk with her dog, Stella. "I'm not sure if Bunny really gets what I say, but it's exciting to find it out." said Alexis.
①What will you do if you see a cockroach(蟑螂)? Quite a few people are very afraid of it, so they may shout for help or try to kill it. Next time you see it, you may need to think twice before killing it.
②There were cockroaches on the earth long ago, and many people believe that they will still be here long after all the people leave it. Cockroaches are small in size, and they are good at climbing and jumping. A cockroach can live for about a week even without a head.These make them great helpers during the search and rescue missions(搜救任务）.
③Alper heads up a scientist team at North Carolina Stage University. "I joined the search and rescue missions in Turkey in 1999,"he said. "one of the most difficult problems was to find where the living people were. We needed to find them in a short time, but there was no useful way to help us at that time." So Alper and his team had the idea of turning cockroaches into special robots
④Scientists put a small sensor(传感器) and a smart camera(相机)on a cockroach's back. Cockroaches climb everywhere with them. With a sensor and the camera, cockroaches can tell people from other things, and then find where the missing people are. In this way, more people can be saved in time.
⑤All in all, the scientists hope these special cockroach roots will be used for more work over the next five years. "We never thought we would see the day, but here we are!" a scientist said

Before ( make) friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do same kinds of things they do.

Remember,everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are friendly them
