    While serious training is important for all dogs, playtime is just as important.  Use these games to help teach your dog how to play.

    Hide and Seek

     Hide and seek isn't just for kids. Dogs can really enjoy this game. Pick up one of your dog's favorite toys or treats. Tell your dog to stay.  When you are ready, call your dog to come to you. If possible, squeak(使吱吱叫) the toy or shake the treats. Reward your dog with praise and the toy/treat when she finds you.

    Fetch

    Many dogs have a natural ability to fetch. Other dogs can be taught how.  Play indoors with a soft toy or outdoors in a fenced-in area with a ball or disc. For dogs that really love to run, try this game of fetch!

    Find the Treat

    Dogs have superior senses of smell, and most love to use their noses to find food. Let your dog use her brain and her nose to find hidden goodies. First, have your dog stay out of sight. Then, hide her favorite treats in different places around the room.  If help is needed, you can lead her around or point to areas for her to explore.

    Whatever the game, safety comes first! Remember to watch your dog for signs of exhaustion or overheating when you are playing. Stop if your dog seems tired or shows signs of anxiety.  When other dogs or people are around, it may create a dangerous distraction(分神).

A. Then, go to find a good hiding place.

B. Try different games to see which your dog responds to best.

C. A good game of fetch can be played almost anywhere.

D. You can include games in training as well.

E. Also be aware of your surroundings when playing with your dog.

F. Encourage your dog to play with other dogs.

G. Bring your dog back in and tell her to "go find!".

    In the clinic, I asked if Michael could be retested, so the specialist tested him again. To my 1, it was the same score.

    Later that evening, I 2 told Frank what I had learned that day. After talking it over, we agreed that we knew our 3 much better than an IQ(智商) test. We 4 that Michael's score must have been a 5 and we should treat him 6 as usual.

    We moved to Indiana in 1962, and Michael studied at Concordia High School in the same year. He got 7 grades in the school, especially 8 biology and chemistry, which was a great comfort.

    Michael 9 Indiana University in 1965 as a pre-medical student. Soon afterwards, his teacher permitted him to take more courses than 10. In 1968, he was accepted by the School of Medicine, Yale University.

    On graduation day in 1972, Frank and I 11 the ceremony(典礼) at Yale. After the ceremony, we told Michael about the 12 IQ score he got when he was six. Since that day, Michael sometimes would look at us and say 13, "My dear mum and dad never told me that I couldn't be a doctor, not until after I graduated from medical school! "It is his special way of thanking us for the 14 we had in him.

    Interestingly, Michael then 15 another IQ test. We went to the same clinic where he had 16 the test eighteen years before. This time Michael scored 126, an increase of 36 points. A result like that was supposed to be 17.

    Children often do as 18 as what adults, particularly parents and teachers, 19 of them. That is, tell a child he is "20" and he may play the role of a foolish child.

    The United States has always been a country of many cultures. Before Europeans came to North America, many groups of Native Americans lived here. Different Native American groups had different cultures. The first Europeans in the United States were from England and Holland, but immigrants came from all European countries. Many people also immigrated from Asia and Africa. Sadly, many Africans were brought to the United States as slaves. Many immigrants come from Latin America too. Today, the United States has people from more cultures than ever.

    In the 19th century, people spoke of the United States as a “melting pot.” People thought that all immigrates should forget their native cultures and languages and become English-speaking Americans. They felt that people should assimilate-join American culture. However, not everyone wanted to assimilate completely. Many people tried to keep parts of their cultures, such as foods, customs, and languages. However, their children often forgot their parents' or grandparents' language. But most Americans, even those whose families have been here a long time, can tell the countries their relatives came from. And of course, new immigrants take great pride in their curare and language.

    For all of these reasons, melting pot is no longer a good way to describe the United States. Instead, people now call the United States a “salad bowl.” They say salad bowl because in a salad, you can still see all of the individual parts (lettuce, tomato, and so on), but all the different parts mixed together and begin to take on the flavor of one another.

    My name is Richard Terry. I'm a soil scientist and science professor at Brigham Young University, in Provo, Utah.

    I grew up on a farm in Idaho, but I didn't want to become a farmer. Milking cows every morning before school and every afternoon after school forced me to go to university and become a scientist. I enjoyed my science courses at university, but once I saw the application of chemistry, math and physics in soil science, I knew that was what I wanted to focus on in my career.

    In my eyes, working as soil scientists is important. We often do some research on soil and sand, which is very useful for planting and farming. In the field, my students and I use shovels, trowels(泥刀) and drilling devices to collect soil samples. In the laboratory, we use chemicals to collect nutrients that were left on the soil surface by ancient people.

    Since 1997, we've been studying the soils of ancient Maya settlements in what is now Guatemala. We set about looking for ancient waste piles that were left from food processing and waste disposal(废物处理)by the Maya. The organic matter has rotted and been lost from the soil. However, phosphorus(磷), has been adhered to soil, where it has remained for thousands of years. We then used these techniques to determine the locations of ancient kitchens and workshops. One of those workshops was used to make polished mirrors that the King of Aguateca wore when performing ceremonies. Archaeologists found carved stones in that workshop that were once part of the king's crown. We then started to examine the soils of large public shopping centres to find chemical remains of ancient marketplace activities. We are currently examining the organic matter of the soil to find the remains of ancient corn plants. This is of great use to help us to determine where corn was grown.

Questions you should ask yourself when you fail

    The more new things we try the more failure we are likely to have.. Experiencing failure can be a learning experience and an opportunity for a fresh start. A good way to begin this process is by asking yourself some tough questions.

⑴What can I learn from this?

    Take responsibility for what went wrong. OK, so it was not all your fault—but some of it was. Successful people don't make excuses or blame others. So you should look at the experience objectively(客观地).

⑵Do I need to acquire or improve some skills?

    Did the problem reveal some lack of skill on your part? How could you learn or improve those skills? Perhaps there are books or courses or people you could turn to.

⑶Who can I learn from?

    Is there someone to whom you can turn for advice? Did a boss, colleague or friend see what happened? . Most people do not ask for help because they believe it to be a sign of weakness rather than strength. It's not. It shows that you are ready to learn and change.

⑷What will I do next?

    Now draw up an action plan. Will you try something similar or something different? Revisit your goals. Failure doesn't mean you have to give up; maybe you just need to change it in another way.

    History is a record of what has happened in the past.  The really fascinating thing is that much of history has been repeated time and again. It allows us to learn from the past, both the mistakes and the successes.  

    One of the benefits of history is reading how other people have overcome tremendous challenges in their life. These challenges, although particular to a person, or to a certain time in the past, or occurring in a different country or culture, all convey the same thing.

     He encountered many failures while on the road to finally inventing the light bulb. He could be held out as an example of a person who never gave up.  However, he did not let those failures stop him. He had a dream and he just kept trying different things until he did reach success.  

    Or, consider the story of Abraham Lincoln who managed to become President of the United States even though he suffered many setbacks and personal losses. Most of us only realise his success.  His life was not easy. His story motivates us to keep moving forward no matter what obstacles we have in life.  

A. History has a lot of influence on us.

B. Take the story of Thomas Edison for example.

C. History has some very unique qualities.

D. I am sure he was discouraged by his many failures.

E. They convey wisdom in their short stories of perseverance.

F. Few of us know about the many challenges he had to overcome.

G. Only those with courage to face challenges can realise their dreams.

    Last Sunday, I sat with Tony, my college classmate, in a well-known coffee shop in Buenos Aires, Argentina. As we1our coffee, two men entered and sat on an empty table beside us.

    They2the waiter and ordered three cups of 3, two on the table and one on the wall. We heard this order with great4and observed that they were served with two cups of coffee 5they paid for three. As soon as they6, the waiter pasted (粘贴) a piece of paper on the wall saying A Cup of Coffee.

    It 7that the matter was normal at this place. However, it was something8for Tony and me. Since we had nothing to do with the matter, we 9our coffee, paid the bill and left.

    After a few days, we again had a10to go to this coffee shop. While we were enjoying our coffee, a man entered. The way this man was dressed did not  11the standard nor the atmosphere of this coffee shop. Poverty was12from the looks on his face. As he13himself, he looked at the14and said, “One cup of coffee from the wall.” The waiter served coffee to this man with15, politeness and warmth.

    After a few minutes, the man finished his coffee and left16paying. We were amazed to watch all this when the waiter 17a piece of paper from the wall and18it in the dustbin.

    Now it was no 19for us because the matter was very clear. Although the man didn't know about the one who was giving this cup of coffee to him, he would have a better understanding of the wall which had a great role between the 20and receiver.
