When we look at animals, we know that they are not humans. But how do our closest friends dogs see us? Do they know that we are humans? Or do they actually think we are just strange-looking dogs?
You may be surprised to know that many kinds of animals do not see such differences very much at all. For example, the cuckoo(布谷鸟) lays its eggs in the nest of another bird. They look nothing like their real babies, but these birds will feed the ba6y cuckoos. This is because the birds feed in an instinctive(本能的) way.
Most animals, it seems, will simply separate the world into animals they eat, and animals that eat them. But when it comes to dogs, there is no simple answer to this question.
Sheepdogs leave their mothers when they are born. They grow up with sheep, and come to see them as their family. For this reason, they never attack（攻击）the sheep, and help protect them. They probably think the sheep are dogs too, but we can't be certain.
Similarly, if you keep a dog from birth, the way it sees the world will be different to a dog that grows up with other dogs. It will probably think it is the same kind of animals as you. This can even be true of humans. A Russian boy called Ivan Mishukov, born in 1998. was raised by dogs for two years and came to believe that he was a dog himself

How much pocket money do you get? How do you spend it? The Blue Book of Chinese Teenager Financial(金融的) Study shows that social activities now take up more of teenagers' spending. The book was about teenagers' spending habits in nine cities in China. such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The results show that students are spending more and more on their relationships（关系）with friends and classmates, such as having meals together and buying birthday gifts. Only one-third of high school students think about the price when choosing gifts. Most say they only care about what their friends like.
Xiao Hao, 17, a student at Gaoyou Normal School in Jiangsu, spent more than l,000 yuan on his birthday meal this February. "They had given me gifts. If I hadn't done anything in return, I'd have lost face." Xiao Hao said.
Xiao Hao's experience is quite usual among the young students. A meal can cost a student's pocket money for a month. Many just ask more from parents when they use up their money.
Zhang Wei, an expert（专家） on teenagers' financial study, advised that teenagers should learn to make a budget. A budget is a plan of how money will be spent. It helps you use the money wisely. To make good use of your money, you can also set a limit. Learn to balance（平衡） your wants and needs. When choosing gifts for friends, let them know that you care. Sometimes a handmade gift is much better than an expensive one.

On the first day of my senior high school, I met a nice teacher. She looked at me and said, "I am happy to have an international student in my class." I was very excited.
One day I was three minutes late for school. She told me to write my name and the word "late" on a piece of paper. In that way she could know l was late for the first time. At the beginning, I was angry. But later I understood why she did that. She was strict（严格） with every student and she did it because she wanted to teach me an important lesson: time is priceless.
I learn another important lesson during my first exam. After finishing my exam paper, I did not review the answers because it was the end of the exam time. One week later, she returned my exam paper. I found that one of my answers was wrong. A, B and C were the only choices on the paper, but I chose D instead of C. I tried to explain my mistake. "I knew C was the right answer. but I chose D." However, she told me, "I do believe you. but I am not going to forgive(原谅 ) your mistake. This will remind（提醒） you to be more careful before you hand in your papers." I knew she was right.
| A．She was humorous. | B．She was strict. |
| C．She was impolite. | D．She was generous. |
| A．To welcome him to join the class. |
| B．To remind him to be more careful. |
| C．To tell him the importance of time. |
| D．To see how good his writing was. |
| A．copy | B．write |
| C．find | D．check |
A. Because he saw others choose D.
B. Because he made a careless mistake.
C. Because he didn't know what C meant.
D. Because he knew D was the right answer.
When I was ten, my mother worked all day so I had to take care o my younger brother. At that time my little brother was about four years old and he missed mum all the time.
One day, after I had given him his dinner, he started c for mum. He was so young and really needed
mum. So I d him, put on his shoes, carried him on my back and walked out. Soon he f
asleep. About half an hour later, I found that he had lost a shoe while sleeping. I took him off my b
and put him down. I knew we needed to find that shoe, for our mother couldn't afford new shoes. We had to go back to find it, so I told my brother t
wait right there. A man heard it and stopped me just b
I walked off. He asked me, "You are leaving your brother here to find the shoe? What would you do if he is not here when you return?" I did not know h
to answer that question. He continued, "It's OK if you can't find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your brother." Then he sent us to mum's workplace by taxi.
My whole life I have depended on（依靠） the kindness of many strangers, I feel regretful that I cannot find them and say thank you. I do not e remember what the man's face looked like, but he taught me a lesson-people are m
important than things.
“USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?”
We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They would like to know the world well.
It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.
But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.
Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.
Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden（负担）to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?
We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China.
Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused.
He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.
