1、阅读短文，将文中划线部分译成汉语或英语。

There is an old Chinese saying, “If someone gives you a little drop of water, you should give a spring of water back to him or her.”That means if someone helps you a little, you should remember it and thank them more in return.

We should live in a world of thanks. We should thank people, even though they hurt us, because他们教我们重要的事情。We should thank people, even though they give us up, because we learn how to be independent(独立). We should thank people, even though they are selfish(自私的)because we learn the importance of being kind. Of course, we should thank people when they help us, teach us and care about us.

We thank our parents.他们为了给孩子更好的生活而努力工作。They cook meals for us；They do chores for us; They teach us what is right and what is wrong.

We thank our teachers. They give us dreams. They teach us a lot of things but ask for nothing from us.

There are a lot of people in our life. We should find a way to thank them.

Writing a party invitation is an art. There are some important things when you prepare an invitation. In fact, it’s easier to write an invitation than you think. It just takes some practice.

【2】 It’s strange to receive an invitation without knowing the host. If you plan to send an e-mail invitation, guests might not even read the e-mail without the name of the host.

Secondly, your invitation should include the reason for holding the party. After receiving the invitation, guests can prepare proper clothes or the presents. And the date and the time of your party are also necessary. 【3】

The next thing you should write on your invitation is the exact place where the party will be held. Maybe some of your guests don’t know the location. 【4】 We know everyone can search online for it, but it’s very nice to provide the information for the people who don’t know much about the place.

Dolphins travel in a group. We call a group of fish a “school”. They don’t study, but they travel together.

Dolphins talk to the other dolphins in the school. They give information. They tell when they are happy or sad or afraid. They say “welcome” when a dolphin comes back to the school. They talk when they play.

They make a few sounds above water. They make many more sounds under water. People can’t hear these sounds because they are very, very high. Scientists make tapes of the sounds and study them.

Sometimes people catch a dolphin for a large aquarium (水族馆). People can watch the dolphins in a show. Dolphins don’t like to be away from their school in an aquarium. They are sad and lonely (孤独的).

23、Did you hear of dodos (渡渡鸟)? The dodo was a kind of bird that was very large. You might not think it was a bird at all because the dodo could not fly. It was a member of the chicken family. It lived happily until people arrived. Sailors (水手) from Europe found those birds in the 16th century on Mauritius Island (毛里求斯岛) in the Indian Ocean.

When the sailors found the strange birds that could not fly, they were surprised. The people from Europe on Mauritius Island ate the birds and cut down the trees. The animals they brought with them ate the eggs and the young. So no living dodos were found on the island in the following years. Unfortunately, they died out at last. Later, the samples (标本) of some dodos were brought to England in the 17th century for the future study.

It’s said that people killed all the dodos. This was how the words “as dead as a dodo” came. It teaches us a big lesson. If we are not able to get along with nature, we will lose the things more than we would expect. And we should stop the activities that will be bad for the environment or other animals.

Do you want 【5】(know) more about the books and the writer? You can find the information on the Internet.
