No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon（外科医生） and part of it taken out．Today，however，we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation．The sick person falls into a kind of sleep，and when he awakes， the operation is finished．But these happy conditions are fairly new．It is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all its pain．

     Wells took some of the gas，and his friend pulled out one of Well’s teeth．Wells felt no pain at all．
     As he didn't know enough about laughing gas，he gave a man less gas than he should have．The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out．

What is a bird?

Any animal that has feathers is a bird. All birds have two wings and two legs. Modern birds have no teeth, but they have a hard mouth part. It helps them catch and eat their food. All she-birds lay eggs, and most birds build their homes. Birds — like people — are “warm-blooded”. Their body temperature stays about the same no matter how hot or cold the air is.

Why do birds have feathers?

Feathers help a bird to keep warm. In cold weather, their feathers act as a blanket by holding in body heat. In warm weather, a bird squeezes (挤) its feathers against its body to let body heat escape.

Feathers also help a bird to fly. While flying, a bird uses its outer wing feathers to move forward in the air. Wing feathers and tail feathers are used to keep balance (平衡).

What do birds eat?

Different kinds of birds eat different kinds of food. Usually birds have favorite foods, but will eat some other things, too. Many birds like worms and insects (虫) best. Birds that live near water often eat fish. Some birds eat meat — snakes, smaller birds, and other animals. Some birds eat fruit. Many small birds live on seeds.

Now you know more about birds.

Mr. and Mrs. Bell are very forgetful. For example, Mr. Bell sometimes goes to his office for work on Sunday morning, for he thinks it is Monday. And Mrs. Bell sometimes forgets to cook supper for the family.

One summer they planned to fly to New York for their holidays. They got to the airport only ten minutes before the plane took off. So time was short. But suddenly Mrs. Bell said she must tell Alice, their daughter, not to forget to lock the front door when she went to school. As Alice was then at school, they couldn’t tell her about it by telephone. So they hurried to the post office. Mrs. Bell wrote a short note to Alice while Mr. Bell bought a stamp and an envelope（信封）. Soon the note was ready. They put the stamp on the envelope in a hurry and dropped it in the letter box, but suddenly Mrs. Bell began to cry. The short note was still in her hand. She had put the plane tickets in the envelope.
