stories about dolphins and men.In the 19th century,in the sea near New Zealand,
there was a dolphin.People on ships liked him very much and gave him a very
good name,Jack.From 1871 to1903,Jack met many ships and showed them the
way.In 1903,a man on a ship with the name of The Penguin hurt Jack.Luckily,
the dolphin didn't die,and after a long time he was well again.He showed ways
for ships for nine more years,but he didn't help the ship The Penguin again.

harmless electricity()passes through your body.At the Children's Museum in
New York,you can play an African drum.There are no "Do Not Touch"sigus
in some other museums in the USA.

scientific rules for themselves.

the building of new,modern museums.One cause of all these changes is the
growing number of young people in the population.They see things in a new and
different way.They want art that they can take part in.The same is true of

Since it came out in 1908,Anne of Green Gables has been a favorite book of
teenagers all over the world.27That is how to grow up to be a happy
and useful person.
Anne is an 11-year-old orphan()who arrives at the town of
Avonlea,Canada.She helps Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert,brother and sister,
on their farm.
At first,Matthew and Marilla hope to adopt()a boy,not a thin
girl.28It seems unlikely:Anne is very friendly,open,willing to talk,and
布
easily distracted(分心的).That's not what is needed on a farm.
And yet,Annie shows that she can actually be useful.She works really really
hard.Bui she doesn't lose her great sense of fun and this is why readers love the
story.She doesn't become"a good girl",if"a good girl"means knowing only
how to work and live unhappily!29She knows how to enjoy herself,
whether it's by eating ice-cream or trying on a new dress.
Many stories for children are written to tell them how to be good.
30But that's not the kind of story Canadian author LucyMaud
Montgomery wanted to tell.The book gives readers a helping hand rather than
tries to scare them into being"good"girls and boys.
A.Usually,it means doing one's duty()and not having any fun.
御
B.What it teaches us is simple.
C.We see Anne's love for life everywhere.
D.Will she be of any use on the farm?
靠
E.Anne lived an unhappy life before.
