    TaIL Spin

    Two dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park. The smaller dolphin Grace, shown off a few of her tricks, turning around and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thing about her, however, is that she’s even swimming at all. She doesn’t have a tail.

    Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap. When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005, she was fighting for her life. “Is she going to make it?” Her trainer, Abbey Stone, feared the worst. Grace did make it --- but her tail didn’t. She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.

    Over the past six years, she has learned to swim without her tail. Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down. Grace taught herself to move another way---like a fish! She pushed herself forward through the water by moving her peduncles from side to side.

    The movement put harmful pressure on Grace’s backbone. So a company offered to create a man-made tail for her. The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldn’t hurt her.

    The first time Grace wore the artificial tail. She soon shook it off and let it sink in the bottom of the pool. Now, she is still learning to use the tail. Some days she wears it for an hour at a time, others not at all. “The tail isn’t

    necessary for her to feel comfortable,” says Stone, “but it helps to keep that range of motion(动作) and build muscles(肌肉).”

    Now, the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending. This month, Grace will star in Dolphin Tale, a film that focus on her rescue and recovery. Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie. Many people travel from near and far to meet her. Seeing Grace swim with her man-made tail gives people so much courage.

    1. When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park, her trainer worried about her .

    A. physical build B. potential ability

    C. chance of survival D. adaptation to the surroundings.

    2.A man-made tail is created for Grace to _.

    A. let her recover faster B. make her comfortable

    C. adjust her way of swimmingD. help her perform better tricks

    3.The story of Grace inspires people to_ .

    A. stick to their dreams B. treat animals friendly

    C. treasure what they have D. face difficulties bravely

    Is Online School for You?

    Have you ever wished you didn’t have to wake up early and go all the way to school? For 700,000 American kids, this wish comes true. 1. This kind of learning has different names: online learning or distance learning. Regardless of what it is called, this idea may create an impression of a lonely kid reading pages of information on a computer screen rather than from a book or an image of another kid spending the day playing video games instead of learning mathematics or reading a book. Where online education is concerned, both of these are false! Actually, online learning simply means learning differently.

    2. Flexibility is the main advantage. Students can attend school wherever and whenever they desire. Homework can be turned in from anywhere the student has Internet access. Additionally, many online schools will allow students to work at their own pace.

    Another advantage of online schooling is with the variety of courses. Most online schools teach the same basic classes like English, math, science, and history. 3. However, traditional schools are often unable to offer these types of classes if there are not enough students.

    Online schools also have different types of learning tools for kids to use. For example, many online schools have special Websites where only students registered in online classes can watch videos, see lessons presented, or chat with teachers and other students. Some online schools have live class times where students can call and talk with the teacher directly. 4.

    Computer technology is amazing, and we use computers for chatting with our friends, listening to music, and playing games. 5. Since 2006, at least 38 states either have their own online schools or made rules for students attending them. It looks like online schools are here to stay, but only you can decide if this type of learning is right for you.

    A. Online schools offer many benefits for the learners.

    B. Of course, there are some drawbacks of going to school online.

    C. Almost every part of our lives is affected by it, and school is no exception.

    D. They attend school over the Internet using ordinary home or library computers.

    E. Other online schools even have online clubs where kids can talk about their hobbies.

    F. Some online schools also offer specialized classes in subjects such as space science, French, or zoology.

    G. For some students, online school may be ideal, but for others, traditional school may better meet their needs.
