27、 Living in the wild can be hard.Finding food and staying safe aren't easy.Each day, animals try to survive in their habitats.Not all animals get by on their own. Some animals form a close partnership with other kinds of animals.These pairings are called symbiotic(共生的)relationships.
In a symbiotic relationship, the animals depend on each other.One animal helps the other meet its needs.Sounds good, right? Not always.Some animals are not very kind to their partners.In some cases, one animal meets its needs but hurts its partner.Take ticks(扁虱), for example.These insects suck blood to live.To get blood, they attach themselves to other kinds of animals.Ticks can pass germs(细菌)that cause disease instead of helping their hosts.
In other relationships, animals don't treat their partners so poorly.Both animals benefit from living with the other animal.
Small animals called cleaner shrimps(清洁虾)have found a way of helping fish.As their name suggests, the shrimps clean the fish.They hang out at what scientists call a cleaning station.A fish stops by.Then a shrimp climbs onto the fish and even steps into the fish's mouth.The shrimp uses its tiny claws to pick stuff off the fish's body.That can include dead skin and tiny pieces of food that can hurt the fish.The fish gets a nice cleaning.The shrimp enjoys a tasty meal of fish trash.
Small birds called plovers(灰斑)are also in the cleaning business.They have big customers-crocodiles.Crocodiles have long noses filled with sharp teeth. Cleaning them is funny. When a crocodile opens its mouth, the plover hops right in.It lets the plover eat small, harmful animals attached to the crocodile's teeth.The plover gets an easy meal while the crocodile gets clean teeth.

29、 We found him a few weeks ago when we were walking along the country road. He was jumping around between cars. We thought maybe his family was camping somewhere nearby, so we passed him by. A few hours later, on our return trip, he was still there, trying to get someone to stop for him.
We stopped and took a good look at him. He had no collar (项圈) and he was really thin. We guessed that he was abandoned (遗弃). He was clearly on the road for some time. He was covered with scars and new wounds. We thought that some of them were from fights with wild dogs or other wild animals.
So we took him home, cleaned him and fed him a lot over the next two weeks. He gained over 10 pounds. Then we took him to the vet, who said he appeared to be in good health. The vet said the dog was about two or three years of age, according to the condition of his teeth. And the vet gave him all the required shots.
We really loved this dog. He had obviously been mistreated but he was still so sweet. He had no manners, but he was a quick learner. He no longer tried to get on the bed, but he liked sitting in the chair. We thought he wanted to avoid being underfoot when our daughter was dancing, which she did often. She had stepped on him a few times. When that happened, he simply moved. He did not growl (狂吠) or bare his teeth.
Since then, he had become a member of our family.
