The dog has always been considered man′s best friend.Always noted for being particularly?faithful in watching over children,he also has his place by the fireside,in the cow pasture,on the?sheep range(放牧区),and beside the hunter in forest.He is easy to train,works hard,and often?performs astonishing feats.And in the frozen polar regions he was once the principal motive power,before being lately displaced by the plane and helicopter.

Because he howls or whines in the presence of impending death,the dog was once thought to?have supernatural powers and believed to be capable of seeing gods and ghosts invisible to men.Actually,the.basis for these beliefs lies in the hound′s sensibility to people′s feelings and his superior?hearing ability and sense of smell,which enable him to detect signs hidden from human observation.His record of saving lives is outstanding,for he often gives warning of fire and other dangers not noticed by his master.

The dog′s major contribution,however,has been to medical research.Both his diet and his?structure are comparable to those of the human being,and so he has been the subject Of countless?demonstrations and experiments.Open-heart surgery has been made possible largely because of the?dog.But his sacrifice has repaid his own species as well by safeguarding it from rabies(狂犬病),distemper,and other diseases.

The dog has always been noted for__________.

  • A. protecting children
  • B. assisting shepherds
  • C. helping hunters

Deep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East Tennessee is a bady?of water known as the Lost?Sea.It is listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world′s largest underground lake.The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.

The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation.The cave?expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain.Approximately?one mile from the entrance,in a room called-The Council Room",many Indian artifacts have been?found.Some of the items discovered include pottery,arrowheads,weapons,and jewelry.

For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave,but it was not discovered until 1905.In that year,a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground.:He found himself in a large cave half filled?with water.

Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors.More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found.Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea,the full extent

of it is still unknown.

Space is a dangerous place,not only because of meteors but also because of rays from the sun?and other stars.The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth.Light gets through,and?this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat.Heat,too,makes our environment endurable.Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space,but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off.As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation.But their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft,if they are inside,do prevent a lot of radiation damage.

Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space.The unit of radiation is called"rein".Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem?without being damaged;the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on.The trouble is that it is extremely?difficult to be sure about radiation damage—a person may feel perfectly well,but the cells of his or?her sex organs may be damaged,and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed(畸形的)children or even grandchildren.Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation?and,during the outward and return journeys,the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rems.So?far,no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported,but the Apollo missions have been quite?short.We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months?outside the protection of the atmosphere,working in a space laboratory.Drugs might help to decrease?the damage done by radiation,but no really effective ones have been found so far.

According to the first paragraph,the atmosphere is essential to man in that__________.

  • A. it protects him against the harmful rays from space
  • B. it provides sufficient light for plant growth
