| They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon; on foot, on mules (骡子) or by air. We chose the first. Up early, my husband and I and our three children couldn"t wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail. As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn"t help noticing that the other tourists weren"t like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed. As the sun rose higher, Arizona"s famous heat seemed to roast us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly. The next day, after we"d had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon-by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world. We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed (翻转) the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, "STOP, TAKE US BACK!" When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back. As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I"d suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness. | ||||||||||||||||||

| We could all see the Murray Uiver slowly moving back, but now all the water was gone. I couldn"t believe that the Murray had dried up, not one drop of water left. One morning I went down to the river to try and catch some fish when I saw my boat high and dry (搁浅) on the bank. I rushed down the river and saw all mud-no water. The fish were just lying there, dying. I looked up to see if my friend was there. There was the nest but no eagle (鹰). I called out to her with my special whistle which I made out of steel. Suddenly a big shadow came over to me and the eagle landed in her nest and gave her young the food she was out getting while I whistled. But then I suddenly noticed she was getting thinner and had a bit of sheep"s wool in the side of her talon (利爪). It was deadly quiet by the river bank, except for some sound from my dog. And also I couldn"t see one native animal or bird. When I walked inside the kitchen, Mum and Dad had sad looks on their faces. "It"s time for us to move, Son, because the river can no longer provide for (养活) us," said Dad. I ran out of the kitchen door with tears in my eyes, and down to the river bank, to my favorite spot. I said goodbye to my eagle, crying. When it was time to go, I saw my eagle fly up into the air with her chicks in her talons, going away to try and find another home, just like us. | ||||||||||||||||||

| Sometimes I think Dad loves that dog more than he loves us, 1 I don"t get jealous when Dad spends time with his 2 . When Dad takes his family out for a picnic, Pluto always gets to go along anyway. The moment Dad arrives from the office, he 3 in a room or behind the door and yells, "Pluto, come and get me." Pluto 4 runs around trying to find his lost 5 . Pluto usually wins and his victory is celebrated with his favorite biscuits. Dad"s 6 with Pluto are like the dog isn"t a dog at all but another human being and that"s the scary part. Has Dad 7 the ability to distinguish (区别) between a man and an animal? I was 8 enough about this. So one day I gathered my 9 and asked him. "Dad, do you know you talk to that dog of yours just like to a human being?" Dad looked me 10 in the eye. I thought he might be 11 at my question. But he just smiled, reached out and patted my head and said, "Yes I do,and the reason is 12 . If I talk down to him, he doesn"t 13 me but if I carry on a normal conversation, then Pluto 14 everything I say." I stood there wanting to ask more 15 , but decided that was not the best time. And so for a few days, I 16 everything I could about my father and the dog. And I know the dog never receives direct 17 . He never hears sit, lie down or anything like that. What he 18 are suggestions, "Would you like me to feed you now? Shall we go for a walk?" What"s amazing is that Pluto does 19 everything Dad says. Their communication is as near to being perfect as possible. And it"s not 20 Pluto that understands, but it"s Dad, too. Each seems to know what the other needs at any time. | ||||||||||||||||||
