My grandma lives in a nursing home in England.She plays bingo(宾果游戏)and sometimes listens to music,but she rarely does much outside or with others.This situation is usual for many of the UK's elderly,as there isn't a strong community that helps them stay socially active.There's knitting (and theater,but not much dancing in the parks or opera singing.Such outdoor group activities are just not part of the culture,and I think that's a pity.

Fishermen told me they used traditional ways to fish.They knew exactly which fish could be caught because of their different sizes.As for smaller fish,fishermen released them back into the sea. One thing that I never forgot was an outdoor movie called Island Keeper.It was about a couple who guarded (the island for 32 years.Many fishermen were moved to tears.One fisherman said as life on the island improved,his family loved to stay on the island during the fishing season.He also drove a passenger boat,so he made more money even when he was not fishing. The careful management(管理)of the Xisha Islands limits(限制)tourism but gives job opportunities(机会)to local fishermen. 41.What does the word"them"in the first paragraph refer to?

After finding out the animals'ability to identify famous people,.researchers(研究人员)gave them a new task.They wanted to see if the farm animals could correctly identify the same people from different directions.The animals were still able to know them,though they were a bit slower than before. Finally,the researchers wanted to know if the sheep could identify their trainers.Photos of their trainers were randomly shown on screens along with a number of unfamiliar faces.This time, nobody taught the sheep first,but they picked out the photos very easily. The results show that the animals'face-identification abilities are very close to those of monkeys and humans.Face identification is a difficult process.But sheep are very clever.When they see other sheep,they use this process to know one another. The researchers said it might be interesting in the future to find out if sheep can identify different facial expressions made by humans.

They are not only enjoyable hobbies but also great teachers of good manners. Last summer, I went on a pleasant trip to the Great Wall. As I climbed, the wonderful views showed up before me. There were visitors from all over the world. I patiently waited in line, avoided littering, and even lent a hand to a foreigner who needed help taking pictures. One of my favorite books is Tom Sawyer. In this classical novel, Tom shows the importance of treating others with kindness. Through reading it, I realize it’s important to be honest. These two hobbies have truly changed me. They’ve opened my minds, taught me new knowledge, and most importantly, taught me good manners. I will always treasure and stick to these hobbies.
