He was so pleased with what he had bought that he offered to share the mushrooms with his fellow officers. When their breakfast arrived the next day, each officer found some mushrooms on his plate. One officer looked at the mushrooms carefully and then suggested, "They look nice, but I heard that some mushrooms might be poisonous (有毒的). Let's get Jimmy to examine a piece for us." Jimmy was the dog they kept. They brought it in, and fed it one piece of mushroom. The dog quickly ate 'it, and seemed to enjoy his mushroom. Fifteen minutes later, Jimmy was still alive and kicking without showing any discomfort. The officers were relieved (放心的) and began to eat their meal, saying that the mushrooms had a very strange but quite pleasant taste. However, an hour later, the gardener rushed into the room and reported in a sad voice that the dog was dead. The officers were astonished and their faces turned white out of fear. Immediately, they jumped into their cars and rushed to the nearest hospital. The doctors and nurses used pumps (吸物器) to help them get rid of the mushrooms that remained in their stomachs. Everyone had a hard time. When they returned to the police station, they sat down and started to discuss the mushroom poisoning. Each man explained the pains he had felt and they agreed that it had grown worse on their way to the hospital. "The poor dog must have died a painful death," said one officer. "Let's ask the gardener how it died." So they called the gardener in and asked him more details about Jimmy's death. The gardener sighed and said, "Jimmy was a good dog. It is said that a car hit him in the middle of the road. But I guess it didn't suffer much. It died the moment it was hit." 88.

Each morning he was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his holy (神圣的) book. One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I try to read the holy book just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?" The grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, "Take this coal basket down to the river and bring back a basket of water." The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to move a little faster next time," and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead. The old man said, "I don't want a bucket of water. I want a basket of water. You're just not trying hard enough," and Grandpa went out of the door to watch the boy if he would do. The boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather, the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, "See Grandpa, it's useless." "So you think it is useless." The old man said, "Look at the basket." The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized the different. It had been changed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and outside. So, that's what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and outside! 88.

Did the young grandson understand the holy book? _______________________________________________________________________ 90.

I'm in Grandad's garden, sitting outside his pigeon loft (鸽房). I'm waiting for Goldie to come home. Goldie's proper name is Goldeneye. She's Grandad's champion (冠军) racing pigeon. She's famous as she's won lots of cups. This morning she had a race - flew two, hundred miles away with lots of other pigeons. And now she's racing back home. "Come on, Goldie. Come on Goldie!" That's me, calling Goldeneye back home. But I can't see her yet. I really want Goldie to win this race. I want to give Grandad the good news when I see him tonight in hospital. My eyes search the blue sky. Still no sign of Goldie. "Calm down, Danny!" I tell myself. That's what Grandad would have said: "Calm down, Danny!" But it's hard to be calm. This job is very important. I'll tell you why. Before a race they put a rubber ring on every pigeon's leg. When Goldie comes back, I've got to catch her, as soon as she lands. I've got to take her ring off, as fast as I can, and put it in a little metal tube. I've got to put that tube in Grandad's special timing clock. That records the time that Goldie finished the race. But I'll have to move like lightning. I can't waste a second. I've got to get that ring into that clock as quickly as I can! So that's why I'm nervous, waiting for Goldie. I'm getting more nervous every minute, because Goldie should be here by now. But the sky is blue and empty. "Calm down, son," I tell myself. "Goldie always comes back." But where is she? What am I going to tell Grandad? I wait until it's nearly dark. I give up! Then I lock the other pigeons in the loft. I've got to see Grandad tonight at the hospital. What am I going to tell him? 88. Where is Danny waiting for Goldie? He is waiting _____________________________________________________________. 89. What race did Goldie have that morning? ________________________________________________________________________ 90. What good news does Danny want to tell Grandad? ________________________________________________________________________ 91. Why does Danny think his job is very important? ________________________________________________________________________ 92. When does Danny give up waiting for Goldie to come home? ________________________________________________________________________ 93. What do you think Danny is going to tell Grandad? Why? ________________________________________________________________________ 88. (for Goldie) in Grandad's garden/outside 89. It had a two-hundred-mile race. 90. Goldie wins the race. 91. Because his job is to record the time that Goldie finished the race. 92. When it's nearly dark. /He doesn't give up until it's nearly dark. 93. He is going to tell Grandad a white lie because he wants to make Grandad happy.

That's the first step to recycling. But there are other things that both parents and kids can do to make recycling work better. First, what kinds of rubbish bins are in the other rooms of your house? What about in your bedroom? You've probably just got one rubbish bin where everything goes. But it's a good idea to place a special bin for recycling paper. Then, when it goes full, you can empty it into a larger recycling bin in the kitchen. You can also put a small recycling bin in the bathroom for any useless paper there. Before you throw an item into the recycling bin, stop and think if you can use that item again. Take plastic items with yoghurt, for example. After eating what's in them, you can clean them and store them in a cupboard, and later you can use them for storing another food item. You can do the same with the glass jars, too. You can also share your recycling advice with your neighbours. If you decide to put an item in the recycling bin, it's very important to follow this method. If it has food or drink in it, you must clean it before you put it in the recycling bin. It can't be recycled with food still in it. You should place the item under the running water for a few seconds to clean it. This saves time for the workers in the recycling center. Then they can use their time doing more important work. The last thing to remember is - don't give up! Recycling is a whole life task and you mustn't just do recycling for a month and then return to your old habits.
