Bath, 97 miles west of London, is the largest city in Somerset, England. It became a World Heritage Site in 1987.

Today visitors are no longer allowed to enter the water. However, the exhibitions there will tell you the history of the Roman Baths. You can see many ancient Roman objects, including the coins that were thrown into the water to show respect to the goddess.

Looking over the city, you will see many old buildings in the color of honey. Among them, the Royal Crescent and the Circus are the most famous. The Royal Crescent is a row of 30 houses in the shape of crescent. The Circus is about 200 meters to the east of the Royal Crescent. It is a huge circle formed with large townhouses. It is divided into three parts of the same length by three entrances with a lawn in the center. When visiting Bath, you can’t miss these two sites.

D

When we get wet, we need a towel to get ourselves dry. When a dog gets wet, all it needs is to shake its body. A study in 2010 showed that a wet dog could throw off(甩掉) half the water on its body by shaking for less than a second. In fact, this common act of dogs works better than a washing machine.

The study found that animal shaking begins with the head and ends with the tail(尾巴). Smaller animals must shake faster than bigger animals to get water off. For example, in one second, a rat can shake 18 times, a dog 6 times, and a bear 4 times. Bigger animals can get their bodies dry with fewer shakes.

For animals, shaking is not just about getting themselves dry. It is also about saving their lives. Being wet makes animals heavier, and that makes it harder to run. In the animal world, if an animal is not able to run very fast, it may not live long. Maybe that's why the wet-dog shake" has become a common habit of many animals.

1.How much water can a wet dog throw off from its body by shaking in less than a second?

A.10% B.30% C.50% D.70%

2.From the reading, which picture is probably right?

A. B.

C. D.

3.Why do animals shake themselves dry?

A.To show their love to other animals.

B.To help themselves run faster.

C.To help themselves get more water.

D.To make other animals scared.

4.What can we learn from the reading?

A.The animal's tail can help it run more quickly and easily.

B.Some animals shake more than they need to get water off.

C.Larger animals get drier at each shake than smaller animals.

D.The idea of washing machines came from the dogs' shaking.

I still remember my kindergarten(幼兒園)teacher Mrs. White. She looked just like Snow White, because she had the same bright eyes and short dark hair.

We used to______a lot. And I would show what I wrote to Mrs. White for correction. She would look at my writing and see many mistakes in it. But she never made any red correction and she always gave a star. I was feeling_____ of my writing each time I got a star. But it______my mother. So one day when she met Mrs. White at a parent-teacher meeting. Mum asked her why she never corrected my_____and why she never said no to her child.
