Some animals can be trained to help humans. For example, specially trained dogs help blind people walk around the town safely. Some kinds of monkeys can be taught things too. They can learn how to help people who can"t use their arms or legs. The monkeys pick up the phone when it rings, carry shopping bags and do housework. In the wild, animals and humans are not usually friends, but there are a few interesting examples where they can work together. In Africa, the honeyguide bird works with humans to find food. The bird likes to eat the grubs (幼虫) - a type of insect that lives inside a beehive (蜂巢,蜂窝). It knows how to find beehives but it can"t open them and get the grubs. People like to eat honey, but they aren"t very good at finding beehives, so the bird and the people help each other. The bird flies to a beehive and people follow it. When the people open the beehive and take the honey, they give the grubs to the bird. In Laguna in the south of Brazil, fishermen and dolphins work as a team. The ocean isn"t very clean, so the fishermen can"t see the fish. However, dolphins can find them easily by using sounds. When the dolphins find a large group of fish, they make a noise to tell the fishermen. Then the dolphins push the fish to the beach. The fishermen wait in the water near the beach and catch a lot of fish in their nets. The fishermen"s nets make it easier for the dolphins to catch fish too. In Laguna, fishermen and dolphins have been working together for many years. The fishermen teach their children how to work with the dolphins. The dolphins must be happy to help because they teach their babies how to work with the humans! |

It"s easy to make your own Internet page. The easiest way is to use a special programme called a "web editor (编辑)". You can find these programmes on the Internet. First think about some things to put on your Internet page by looking at other people"s pages. You need to put your Internet page on a bigger computer called a "host" which stores the pages so that other people can see them. These computers are owned by special Internet companies. Our programme may be able to help you find a host computer which you can use for free, but some companies will charge (收费) money for this. To make your Internet page, start up the programme and write some text in the window, then use the signs you can see on the computer to put in pictures and make the text larger or smaller, and change the way your page looks.

Choose the correct sign for putting photos onto the page, then find the name of your photo in your computer. When you"ve found it, choose that one with your mouse and put your photo on your Internet page. You can also put signs on your Internet page to join it to other people"s pages. Visitors to your page can follow these signs to find out more about a subject. For example, if your page includes some information about Jackie Chen, you could put on a sign that takes you to the page for his fan club. When you have completed your Internet page, you can put it on the Internet. After you put your page on the Internet, anyone will be able to see it. |

There are many unusual hotels around the world. In Greenland, there is a hotel made out of ice, open between December and April every year. In Turkey, there is a cave hotel with a television, furniture, and a bathroom in each room. And in Bolivia (玻利维亚-南美洲西部国家), there is the Salt Palace Hotel. Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake. But over time, all the water disappeared. Today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts. Uyuni salt desert The larger of the two deserts, the Uyuni, is 12,000 square kilometres. During the day, the desert is bright white because of the salt.

At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms stay warm. The hotel has twelve rooms. A single room costs $40 a night, and a double room costs $60.
