Dollhouse History
In America, when people hear the term *“dollhouse," they think of a small house for children to play with. However, there is much more to it History tells us that dollhouses were first designed for adults and children of high social status. A dollhouse can delight both the adult and the child. Children and adults feel special when receiving or planning their fantasy house.
Dollhouses began in Europe in the 1600s when they were referred to as “Baby Houses." These houses were made up of several cupboards. In the cupboards, everyday objects created on a tiny scale were displayed (展示). The displays focused on the way people lived at that time. They showed detailed household (家庭)，routines with servants, and kitchen setting, etc. These were carefully designed, and only the upper class could afford to have them built.
As time went on, factories were built to make dollhouses. Germany was the leader of dollhouse makers before World War 1. These houses were shipped throughout Central Europe and England, and even to America. Later, the folding dollhouse became popular. Around 1894, an American company produced dollhouses that had four rooms. Children could share such dollhouses when they were playing games. During World War I, Germany needed their resources to fuel the war. As a result, other countries began to make more dollhouses.
After World War II, dollhouses produced in the US were usually made of plastic and metal. In the 1970s, people became interested in wooden dollhouses again. Besides children, today's dollhouses are also designed for the adult collectors.

One day Mark was riding his bike when it began to rain. He started to feel cold so he looked for a tree to go under for shelter. He was disappointed when he struggled to find a tree. Someday I am going to inspire people to plant trees everywhere, so he thought.
Once he got home, he took out his social studies homework and went up to his room to do it. While he was going to his room, he saw his dad throwing away a piece of paper which was used only on one side. He was about to stop him but it was too late. Someday I am going to inspire people to use both sides of the paper, Mark thought.
When he woke up the next morning, Mark figured out a way to inspire people. He would put posters around the school. Then he too out eight sheets of poster paper. He made four saying "PLANT A TREE FOR ME," and another four saying "PAPER HAS TWO SIDES, so USE BOTH."
He went to school early and put the posters around the school. After class, his teacher told him to go to the principal's office. Mark had never been to the principal's office before. What if the principal had to punish him about the posters because they never asked him to put them up?
When Mark walked in nervously and took a seat, Principal Marcus told him “I would like to thank you for inspiring people to help other living things. When I was on the way back from my lunch break, I saw seven fifth graders planting a tree and heard a few others telling someone else to use both sides of the paper and I'm pretty sure it's because of your posters." Mark couldn't believe his ears. He had finally inspired people. Mark felt very proud.

The People of the Rain Forests
➊ There are two groups of people who live in the rain forests of Africa- Bantu villagers and Pygmy hunters. The two groups have very different ways of life. But they have learned to survive in the rain forest by depending on each other.
❷ The Pygmies live as hunters in the rain forest. They live in large groups of families and hunt with nets. The men go to an area where they know there are animals. They hold up nets and the women and children spread out and drive the animals into the nets.
❸ Hunting is a full-time job for the Pygmies, so they cannot always stay in villages. But over the years, the Pygmies have learned to enjoy some of the luxuries (奢侈品) of village life. Their forest foods of meat, fruit, and nuts are enough for them. But they also enjoy some village foods- -like rice, beans, peanuts and vegetables. They also need some metal tools that are made by the villagers.
❹ The villagers are Bantus. They stay in the clearings (空地) in the rain forests. The Bantus cannot keep cattle in the rain forest. There is not enough room for the cattle to feed, So the Bantus are given meat by the Pygmies. To the Bantus the rain forest is a dangerous place. But to the Pygmies it is familiar. So the Pygmies fetch firewood and guard the village fields from wild animals.
❺ The Bantus must work very hard to clear their fields. Once they are cleared, the villagers must fight continually to keep the rain forest from taking over again. The soil of the rain forest is so poor that the farm crops soon wear it out. Then the villagers must give the land back to the forest after a few years' farming and clear more.

Horses
Whenever anyone asks me what my favorite animal is, I always say, "Horses." I like almost all animals. _26_
. I don't have a horse of my own. Horses are very expensive. _27_ You have to pay for their food, equipment, insurance, and health care, for example. If you live on a farm or other big piece of land, you can keep your horse there. But if you don't have a place that's big enough for a horse, you have to pay to keep it somewhere else.
_28_ I go there on the weekends sometimes and watch the trainers exercising the horses. All of the horses need a lot of exercises in order to stay healthy, no matter what kind of riding they are used for. Most of the horses are used for trail (小径) riding, which I think is the easiest and the most fun. It's nice to go out into the woods or along the beach with a horse.
One reason I really like horses is that they have as much personality as people do. They can't talk, but they can tell you what they are feeling with their body language. _29_
Maybe, when I get a little older, I could get a job at the stable. _30_ I'm trying to learn as much about horses as I can now, so that I'll be really qualified (有资格的). I would love to have a job like that.
A. There I could be around horses all the time.
B. We're very lucky to live near a horse stable.
C. It's very expensive to buy one and to own one.
D. But horses have always been my very favorite animals.
E. My favorite horse "Vrana" is older than a lot of other horses.
F. For example, a horse is happy if its ears are forward and its tail is relaxed.

Friends
In the First World War, an English soldier saw his lifelong friend fall under gunfire. After the attack had failed and everyone had retreated (撤退), the soldier went to ask permission from his commander to go and _31_ his friend from the no-man's-land.
The commander gave permission, but added, “It's _32_ worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may die too."
The soldier was not afraid of the _33_. He reached his friend, lifted him on his _34_ and came back. He was wounded in the process.
The commander helped him to _35_ and noticed the soldier's friend was dead.
"I'm _36_ for your friend- -but I told you it wasn't worth it. Your friend is dead and now you are also _37_ wounded."
“I have to disagree with you. It was worth it," the soldier answered.
“Whatever do you _38_?" the commander asked.
"It was worth it, " the soldier _39_ “When I got to my friend, he was still _40_ and said, 'Jim, I knew you would never leave me."

People Watchers
Some scientists do not wear laboratory coats (coat). And only _41_ (rare) do they use microscopes. These scientists are called _42_ (society) scientists. They want to find out bow people act and why they do certain things.
Some of them study the people of _43_ (differ) cultures to learn their ways of doing things. They often live with the people of the culture they are _44_ (study). They try to feel the world of these people. And they must be good reporters because facts, not _45_ (opinion) about other cultures, must be reported.
Another group of them studies how people _46_ (live) long ago. They dig in the ground to find old tools that have been _47_ (bury) for thousands of years. Sometimes, they even discover buildings hidden in the earth.
These scientists often work in _48_ (cooperate) with each other. If one of them _49_ (find) a Greek vase (花瓶) in the Middle East, he or she may ask for an _50_ (explain) from an expert to find out how the vase got there.
