Their brain is as big as mens and they live a long life-at least 20 or 30 years.Like some animals, dolphins use sounds to help them find their way around. They also use these sounds to talk to each other and help them find food. They do not use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaw the lower part of the mouth.It is strange that dolphins are friendly to men, and for thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and men. In the 19th century, in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin. The seamen liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met all the ships and boats in the area and showed them the way. In 1903 a passenger on a boat with the name of The Penguin shot(拍照) a long time in the area. Jack guided the boat The Penguin until the passenger finished.Today, some people still kill dolphins, but many countries in the world now protect them. Dolphins are humans friends. Lets all be nice to them.26 .

Many people believed that it was a truly thinking machine. However, other people thought it was a hoax. The secret of the machine was finally revealed(揭示) in 1837. An article explained that there was a man inside the machine playing chess.On November 9, 1874, an article in an important newspaper in New York reported that all the animals in the New York Zoo had suddenly escaped and were running all over the city. It also said that there were 27 people dead and 200 injured. People in New York were afraid, but there was really no reason to be frightened. The article was a total hoax from beginning to end.On April 21, 1980, the first woman to cross the finish line of the Boston Marathon was 23-year-old Rosie Ruiz. However, as she climbed the stairs to receive her prize, people began to doubt(质疑) her because she didnt even seem to be out of breath(气喘吁吁).None of the other runners saw her, and her pictures never appeared in photographs or TV broadcasts of the race. Later, several people said that they saw her join the race near the end. She had run only one half of a mile! Her prize was taken away, of course!31 .

One day, she went to a shop to buy a green bow(蝴蝶结). The shopkeeper kept saying that she looked very beautiful with it. Although she didnt believe that, Jenny was so happy that she couldnt help but raise her head.Jenny happened to meet her teacher when she went into the classroom. “Jenny, you look really beautiful today,” said the teacher, patting her shoulder softly.That day Jenny heard a lot of things like that from many people. “They must have seen my green bow,” Jenny thought. But when she looked in the mirror(镜子), there wasnt any bow on her head. She must have lost it on her way back to school when she ran into someone else.Self-confidence is a kind of beauty, but many people care so much about their appearance that they forget about this beauty from their heart. Poor or rich, young or old, well-known or unknown; as long as you raise your head, you can be beautiful.36 .

Steve Jobs had a passion(激情) for education. He may be gone, but we still have a chance to learn from his courage and innovation(革新).Making MistakesI think that the main reason why we cant find proper ways to improve the education system that no longer serves us well is simply fear. Fear of failure. Fear of getting it wrong. Teachers fear that innovation could endanger their jobs. Steve had the attitude we need in education right now. Sometimes when you create something, you make mistakes. It is best to admit(承认) them and get on with improving your other innovations. Thats the kind of spirit that we need to have.Motivation(动机) MattersWeve concentrated(专注于) so much on results that we dont always reward good motivations. But these things are very important. In our schools, weve cared so much about test results that weve lost creativity. We dont reward students for their hard work, and we punish failure. As a result, we lost imagination and found no motivation to try something that has a chance of ending in failure.What Defines(定义) Failure?The company that Steve Jobs started in 1985 after being forced out of Apple shows us how technology could influence educational innovation. In 1985 he started NeXT. The company was providing computers for educational purposes. NeXT wasnt really financially(经济上) successful. But it may have been ahead of its time. Today, we see what the technology brings into the classroom.Changing Our ModelThe company sold around 50,000 computers. But that would be missing the point. It was a NeXT cube workstation that encouraged the first web server. It helped in the development of early Internet technology. Truly, Steve Jobs has taught us that results are not the most important things in life.44 .

According to the article, which word can best describe Steve Jobs spirit?APassion.BMotivation.CInnovation.DCreativity.四、单词填空Do you use Wikipedia (维基百科) to find information about people, places, things and events?
