One of my best friends went abroad to enjoy her holidays，so the job of looking after her dog Missy has been given to me．A few months ago，Missy came to my friend's house．She looked terrible．She has been abused for a long time．

    When we first visited my friend and Missy，my friend had to gently pull her over on a lead （牵绳） to get her to come to us．She wanted to come but afraid to do so﹣﹣﹣the poor，beautiful thing．Clearly Missy came to the right home．My friend has given birth to a baby of his own and shows the love of a mother．This is just what Missy needs．Thanks to the love of my friend，she has changed into a new dog step by step．Sadly，she is still afraid of strange humans．I hate to imagine what the dog must have gone through．

Now，Missy trusts me completely，so I can touch her berry（肚皮）．While standing，she will jump up so gently to be closer to me，putting her paws（爪子）on my legs as she looks at me with those beautiful eyes．

In 1901，an Austrian scientist discovered that there are four types of blood．He named them A，B，AB

and O．People have one of these four types．Blood type O is the most common around the world．Blood type A is the second most common，and blood type AB is the least common．

In 1927，a Japanese doctor found that people with different blood types have different personalities （性格），too．He said that people with type A blood are usually calm and serious；

people with type B blood are cheerful and outgoing； people with type O blood are generous and honest； while those with type AB blood are often caring and talented．

More recently，a doctor in the United States wrote a book that connects blood types with what people eat．The book suggests people with type O blood should eat more meat and less bread．A diet for people with type A blood includes more vegetables．His book，Eat Right for Your Type，has been a hit with people who want to lose weight．However，Dr．Peter D'Adamo believes that eating food that matches a person's blood type will make the person healthier in other ways，too．

Bamboo is one of the nature's most surprising plants．（1）许多人称这种植物为树，但它是一种草．

    Like other kinds of grass，a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground，but it will grow back very quickly．A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe．（2）There are more than 1，000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains （平原）．

    Not all bamboo looks the same．Some bamboo plants are very thin．They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across．This plant also comes in different colors，from yellow to black to green．

    Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years．They often use bamboo for building new buildings．As a matter of fact，the cables （绳索） that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo．The bridge has been in use for more than 1，000 years，and is still holding strong．

    In Africa，（3）engineers are teaching poor farmers how to use bamboo to find water ．These African countries need cheap ways to find water because （4 ）they save no money，and their fields often die from no rain and no water．It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use．Bamboo pipes and drills （钻） can help to make the poor thirsty fields be watered．
