As my family and I drove to my grandmother's house, my dad pointed out all the houses he once lived in as a kid. I counted 12, probably 1 one or two along the way.
At 16, my dad had to 2 high school to support his family. He told my brothers and me stories of when he was about our 3 .
One time, he came home from school only to find an 4 house and a notice that his family had to move out. He said it like it was nothing. We started to understand why he has no pictures of his younger self.
His dad spent all his money on gambling and alcohol （赌博和喝酒）. He was not 5 when talking about this. Instead, he seemed to miss the time with his dad. His little sister would cry at birthday parties because she couldn't 6 her own birthday at home. We celebrated my dad his first birthday party when he was at least 40.
He always tells us to work hard and stay in school. We've heard it so much that sometimes we feel impatient. But now I find a new 7 every time I recall it: There's nothing you can't do if you stay in school and work hard. I wonder how 8 my father could have lived his life if he'd had just one person saying those words to him.
My dad loves his 9 very much. He works 16 hours a day. He works hard to provide us with a better life. I am so 10 of you, Dad.

There was once a captain who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors at the end of every voyage and took their wages（工资）.
On the last day of one voyage, the ship was in a small port. It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, “If one of you stays in the water during the whole night,I will give him my ship. But if he comes up before the sun appears, I shall get his wages.\
The sailors have heard about the captain's cheating, so they didn't trust him. But then one of them,who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water, and, though, it was very cold, he stayed in it. When it was nearly morning, the fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away.
“You are cheating,\“The fire is warming you.\ \away!” said the sailor.
“A fire's fire,\“I have won.”
Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can't cook a chicken,”'said the sailor.
“I can,”answered the captain.
“If you cook this chicken,” said the sailor, “I shall work for you without wages for seven years. But if you can't, you will give me your ship.\
The captain agreed, took the chicken and said,“Where's the fire?” “There it is,\“On the shore.\

Land mines（ 地雷） are a serious problem in Africa. The wars ended many years ago, but millions of land mines were left behind. Every year thousands of people in Africa are hurt or killed by remaining land mines.
Some unlikely heroes are helping to solve the problem——rats! Bart Weetjens, an engineer
from Belgium, came up with the idea. Bar realized that rats could use their powerful noses to find land mines so humans could safely remove them. He quit his job and began training his favourite animals as part of a program he calls HeroRATs.
HeroRATs are trained in a special school where they learn to use their noses to find land mines. First, trainers get the rats used to the human world. They let them listen to music and run
around the office. The rats are taught to give a signal when they detect（探测）the smell of a land
mine. When they correctly signaled that they've detected a land mine, they get a special treat. This reward of mashed bananas and peanuts makes them eager to do their work. Next, the rats are taught to walk on a leash at the end of a long pole. After a total nine months of training, the rat have to pass several tests. Once the rats pass the tests, they are ready to start finding real land mines with their handlers.
Rats can safely walk on ground where there are land mines because they weight much less
than humans.They are too light to set off the weapons. No HeroRATs has even been killed by land mine. The rats can inspect（检查）an entire field in only an hour. When a HeroRAT finds a land mine, humans carefully remove it. Once the rats' work is done and the land mines are
removed, fields are safe. The land can be used for farming or building. Children can play there without fear.
People who work with HeroRATs are proud to help make their countries safe. These special rats are saving lives and are true heroes.
16. What is special about the rats to find land mines?
