People always call firefighters（消防员） for help when there is a big fire． Do you think they only need to do many other kinds of strange things．
Firefighters are often called to save people or animals that are trapped（困住）． In many countries， there are lots of stories of firefighters saving animals trapped in strange places． For example， several firefighters in England saved a dog trapped in a wheelchair （轮椅） last winter． Also，firefighters often save people trapped in very unusual places． Once some firefighters saved an adult American trapped in a washing machine． They cut up the machine and helped him out in the end．
Sometimes， firefighters also have to save any person in danger ﹣﹣even when the person is doing something wrong or breaking the law（法律）．
Firefighters always come to help people in need even at the risk of their own lives． They are heroes in our hearts．

WHICH FAMOUS PERSON IN HISTORY WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE MET AND WHY？
For me it would clearly be Leonardo da Vinci． I'd love to have met him． He was such a creative talent and not just an artist． He seems to have predicted a number of inventions that only came about hundreds of years later， like flying machines and so on． I' d like to tell him he really did see the future． Naomi， Chicago |

I studied philosophy（哲学）， so I would like to have spoken face﹣to﹣face with the Chinese philosopher Confucius． I'd like to have discussed with him his political philosophy and his idea about family values． He seems to have had a lot of respect for older people， and even though he lived over two thousand years ago， some of his opinions are still meaningful． Li Yun， Shanghai |

Bananas are the perfect snack． Not only are they sweet and delicious， but they are easy to carry around， so you can take them anywhere． Best of all， bananas provide different things that the human body needs!
Bananas grow best in warm places that get lots of rain． They grow on plants that look like trees． The banana plant， however， is considered a herb rather than a tree because it doesn't have a strong ， woody stem（干，茎）． The plants can grow as high as 30feet． When they reach their full height， flowers grow out from the stem． These flowers produce bananas．
Two or three times each year， the plants produce fruit． The bananas grow together， which seem like "hands"． A hand is made up of 10to 20bananas． Growers sometimes call bananas "fingers"． Each bunch（丛） of bananas has about 15hands， and so a whole bunch may have as many as 200bananas and can weigh more than 100pounds．
After about three months， the bananas are ready to be picked． At this point， they still aren't the sunny yellow color of bananas． Farmers pick them when they're green． That's how they're shipped to stores． They turn yellow along the way and are ready to be sold．
If you love bananas， you've got a lot of company． Americans have been enjoying bananas since the first shipment arrived in the United States in 1876． Today， American eat more bananas than any other fruit． More bananas are sold than apples and grapes together． Every American eats over 26pounds of bananas each year!

Elephants are the largest land animals alive today． African elephants live in family groups called herds（群）． All of the elephants in the herd take care of each other． The leader of the herd is an old mother elephant． She is the matriarch （族长）． A herd may have as few as eight or as many as 100 elephants． The other elephants follow the matriarch because she knows how to keep them safe from coming danger．
Elephants learn by watching and copying other elephants， and also learn from life． Baby elephants stay with their mothers until they are fully grown at about ten years old． Elephants live to be 50 or 60 years old． Elephants are smart animals with long memories． In the dry season， a matriarch can remember where water was found in the past． The herd will follow her there． She can also remember the safest place for baby elephants to cross a fast﹣moving river．
Elephants talk to each other with rumbling sounds． Some rumbling sounds are so low and deep that people are unable to hear them． Elephants hear sounds not only with their ears， but also with their feet， and even trunks （long noses of the elephants）． They also greet each other by touching with their trunks and feet． If danger appears， mothers beat their ears to call their babies to them．
Other animals don't usually attack（攻击） elephants． However， a lion might try to attack a sick elephant or a baby． If this happens， the adult elephants circle around the baby elephants． The adults make louder sounds and hit the ground with their trunks． The matriarch puts herself between the lion and the herd． She beats her ears out to make herself look even larger． Then she lowers her herd and attacks the enemy（敌人） in a big cloud of dust（灰尘）．

I have spent almost a third of my life in china，living and working in this beautiful country．In a sense，China has been and is still my second home But in those past years I had never been to Quzhou．
Some days ago，for the first time in my Chinese life，I stepped into the beautiful city of Quzhou．My impressions of Quzhou city were as I always thought：green countryside，rainy sky，wet air．That was what I imagined for years the south of China would be．When we finally arrived，I was impressed by the elegant （优雅的） city．
Next day we were taken to visit some places not far away from the city．I was not aware of the direction of our short trip，but when we arrived at Lanke mountain and got out of the car，I thought that we had been taken to a fairyland （仙境）：the light rain over the green and thick plants，the silvery sky like a heavy blanket and the mystery （神秘） of this mountain made me feel like being part of a picture．
Jiulong Lake was our next step．The mystic atmosphere （气氛） of this place was so strong that I decided to watch the view standing at the top when I stepped into the small boat to sail upstream．Sometimes we were so close to the mountain that we could clearly see the red soil under the plants．I was thinking of the joy to be in a place like Jiulong Lake and how it would be to live among those hills for a while．
The final leg of the day's journey was a primary school．We were welcomed by the smiles on the faces of many young pioneers．The energy of the hundreds of kids made me feel younger for a while，so educated，so polite and so warm that I had no doubt about the future generations of Quzhou people．The people seem to me the best of Quzhou and they will remain in my memories forever．

Tiffy is one of these dogs．Her owner，Nancy Jane Loewy，treats her like a queen．She patiently prepares Tiffy's meals of meat，fish，chicken and different kinds of fresh vegetables．Tiffy also eats yoghurt and biscuits after dinner．Loewy's husband has a very good job and her two sons are away at university，so she has the time and money to treat Titty very well，and she truly enjoys doing it．"I want to give her the healthiest，most wonderful life as long as possible，"she says．
Food sniffer dogs （嗅探犬）
Food sniffer dogs work at international airports in the United States．Their job is to smell and find illegal （不合法的）fruits，vegetables and other foods in bags and mail．These foods sometimes bring insects and diseases which could be dangerous for plants and animals．The dog calmly sits down next to anything that smells suspicious （可疑的）．The dog's human partner then checks for illegal foods．Sniffer dogs are friendly and cute，so they don't scare people as they sniff through the crowds．More importantly these dogs have an astonishing nose for food．They can find food in bags 84% of the time．
Animal carers
Jessic is a whippet （小灵狗）that visits very sick children in hospital．She shows them her love and when they feel down，Jessie makes them happy．Jessie helps patients to stay strong during their time in hospital．
