Mary picked up a pencil and a piece of paper,saying,“Now,you want to earn money for the autumn camping trip,right?” Tom,her brother,nodded.He wasn’t able to go last year because he hadn’t earned enough money during the summer.This year he came up with a plan.

He made a necklace for his mother that everyone admired.They were surprised to learn that Tom had made it for her.Why not make more necklaces and sell them?

“OK,” said Mary,“The first thing you need to do is to figure out(计算)how much you have now.’’

“I have $20.00 in the bank,and $7.25 in my room,” explained Tom.

“That gives you a total of $27.25,” said Mary,“That is called your capital.The next thing you need to know is how much it will cost you to make each necklace.”

“Well,the pet shop will give me all the feathers the birds lose.I'll have to buy the beads(小珠子)and string,” said Tom.

Mary wrote on the piece of paper:

CAPITAL      $27.25

EXPENSES     Feathers                       no cost

                 String for 10 necklaces                 $  2.50

                 Beads for 10 necklaces    +       $ 15.00

                 Total                              $ 17.50

“How much do you think you can sell such a necklace for?” asked Mary.

“Hmm,” Tom looked thoughtful and said,“There's a shop in town that sells almost the same kind of necklace for $ 7.50.If I charge(要价)$ 6.00,people will think that's a bargain.”

“OK.If you sell each necklace for $ 6.00,you'll make a good profit(利润)on each then,” said Mary.

“Hurray!” Tom cried,“If I sell 20 necklaces,I'll have enough from the profit for the camping trip and $10.00 left over.”

People have used pigeons to carry messages to one another for hundreds of years. In the 12th century, the royal palaces of Iraq and Syria included pigeon houses so the kings could be kept informed of their generals’ victories and defeats on the battlefield. In fact, pigeons were a common way to send messages right up through World War II.

Many countries, such as the United States, England, France, Germany, and Italy, in both World War I and World War II, used carrier pigeons. Not only were the birds often the fastest, most reliable way to send messages, they could also be used to reach soldiers far behind enemy lines, where radios and field telephone lines were useless. Since they could easily be released (释放) from airplanes or ships, every branch of the armed services used the birds. In World War II, more than 3,000 soldiers and 150 officers were needed to care for and train the tens of thousands of birds in the U.S. Pigeon Service.

Carrying messages could be a dangerous job. Some pigeons performed with such bravery that they became famous and were even awarded medals, such as England’s Dicken Medal of Gallantry. In a few cases, pigeons even became prisoners of war. In 1918 American forces captured a pigeon named Kaiser, which had been trained to fly special missions for Germany during battle. He was taken to America, where he lived to the age of 32. The most famous pigeon of all may have been Cher Ami. Stationed in France during World War I, he carried twelve important messages for American forces. On his last mission, though wounded, he carried a message that saved the lives of 194 American soldiers. For his extraordinary service, he was awarded the French “Croix de Guerre.”

Carrier pigeons are a slightly different breed (品种) from the kind of pigeons you see on city streets. They are much thinner and taller, with longer legs. Many people find carrier pigeons ugly because of their big wattle, a bent buildup of skin on the beak(鸟嘴); however, people who raise pigeons often enjoy this strange appearance and consider carriers the best of their breed.

Today, modern communication methods can carry information from one place to another hundreds of times faster than a pigeon could do. However, few people would argue with the fact that carrier pigeons—especially those that served in the military—have earned their place in history. Stories about brave pigeons such as Cher Ami, President Wilson, and Colonel’s Lady have the power to inspire us as no fax machine or high-speed Internet connection could ever do.

1.Many countries used carrier pigeons in the war because_______.

A.they could be believed in

B.they were easily raised

C.they could reach the enemy lines

D.they could hardly be found by airplanes

2.Which is the best example to show the bravery of carrier pigeons?

A.Carrier pigeons could fly to places where radios and telephone lines were useless.

B.For his extraordinary service, Cher Ami was awarded the French “Croix de Guerre”.

C.In World War II, more than 3,000 soldiers were needed to care for and train the pigeons.

D.In the 12th century, kings in Iraq were kept informed of the victories and defeats by pigeons.

3.From the passage, we can learn _________.

A.how carrier pigeons developed in history

B.how to train carrier pigeons to get victory

C.carrier pigeons played an important role in the wars in the old days

D.pigeons inspired soldiers to fight before high-speed Internet invented
