In some parts of Holland the land lies so low that the people have to build great walls of sand and earth, to keep out the sea. These walls are called dykes(堤坝).

Sometimes the water from the sea break down these walls, and then the sea rushes in through the beach, and spreads over the land.

Houses and trees, cows and sheep, have been thus washed away, and many people drowned(溺水).

Once, when a little boy was going home in the evening, he saw a hole in one of the dykes, through which the water was flowing(流出）.

His father had often told him that when this happened, unless the water was stopped it would soon make the bole so big that the sea would flow over the land.

At first he thought he would run home and tell his father. But then he said to himself," It may be dark before father can come, and we shall not be able to find the hole again. Or it may get so large that it will be too late to stop it. I must stay now, and do the best I can alone.

The brave little boy sat down, and put his hand in the hole, to keep back the water. There he stayed, hour after hour, in the cold and the dark, all through the night!

“There is a hole in the dyke,” said the boy,“ and I am keeping back the water.”

Poor little boy! He was so cold and tired that he could hardly speak.

The man came quickly and set him free. He got the hole closed up, and thus the land was saved--thanks to the brave little Hollander!

“China is always well protected by the bravest of them.”former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger once wrote. Indeed, in the fight against the novel coronavirus, it is medical workers who are risking their lives on the frontlines of the epidemic(疫情).

From February 17, more than 32,000 doctors and nurses from all over China have been sent to Hubei, the center of the epidemic.They are working under unusual conditions, unimaginable stress and intensive(高强度的) schedules.

In hospitals, doctors and nurses work for long hours, usually six hours in a row. Many of them have deep marks on their faces from wearing masks and goggles(护目镜). They also choose to wear diapers(纸尿裤), as it takes nearly an hour to take their protective uniforms on and off. When they are racing time to save lives, every second matters.

To cheer each other up, medical workers wrote inspiring words on their uniforms, such as “Stay Strong” and “Hope”. They strongly believe that they will win the fight against the virus.

These medical workers are just common people. But with their white coats on, they become the bravest fighters.

A man was sitting in the park watching the ducks on the pond, when a woman came near him.She had a white dog with her.

She sat down on a chair, took out of a magazine and began to read.

The dog was sitting between her and the man.

After it had been sitting quietly for about ten minutes, the dog turned and looked up at the man.

“ Excuse me,” the dog whispered(低语),“ but you look like a kind man. Please buy me from this awful woman.”

The man could hardly believe his ears. A dog was whispering to him, in English.

“ She is so mean to me,” the dog continued. “She never pets me or plays with me. She doesn't feed me properly and she often beats me when she is unhappy, which is most of the time.”

The man was amazed to hear the dog say all this. He was even more surprised when the dog added, “ And I am really a very good dog. I’m quite famous, too. I won a medal in the last war and was twice wounded in action. I’ve saved three children—two from drowning and one from a fire.”

The man decided that he would try to buy the dog from the woman. He would pay a lot of money if necessary. The dog would soon earn tens of thousands of dollars on television. It would be the world's first talking dog.

“ Excuse me,” he said to the woman,“ but I love your little dog. Will you sell him to me?”

“I’ll be pleased to sell him, “ the woman said. “ You can have him for ten dollars.

“ Ten dollars!” the man said. “ Only ten dollars? Why so little? ”

“ Because,” the woman said, “ he’ s a trouble- making liar(说谎者).”

Curiosity(好奇心) is part of human nature. Children are famous for wanting answers to thousands of questions. Books and TV shows often depend on curiosity. People keep reading or watching because they want to find out what happens. But curiosity also provides many advantages.

Learning is the easiest if you have a desire (愿望) for knowledge. Curiosity can create that desire when you have a question you want an answer to. Many of history’s greatest discoveries were made by curious people. Thanks to their curiosity, people now know far more about the world and have useful technology to help them.

Even if you don’t plan to be an inventor or researcher, curiosity can still help you in the classroom. If you develop the joy of learning, classes will become more fun. And you’ll be better because you will fully take part in the process of learning. Even if you're no longer a student, curiosity will make you get more information and then a better worker.

What do you do if you're not already curious? Luckily, curiosity is a skill that can be improved. If you act like you're curious, you’ll quickly start to actually feel curious. Often, the more you learn about a topic, the more interesting it becomes.

As you learn about a topic, collect information from as many sources(来源) as possible. Read different kinds of books, listen to talks and ask questions. Don't always get your information from the same source. Instead, learn to appreciate (欣赏) facts that different people know and the different opinions that they express. Ask a lot of questions. Remember, everyone knows something that you don’t. Find out what that is, and ask about it. This lets you learn something and makes the other person happy by letting them show off their knowledge.

In the classroom or out of it, developing curiosity is sure to be valuable.

Thousands of years ago, people had to hunt(打猎)for food. They lived in caves(洞穴)and needed fire to keep
56．.Some of them drew pictures on the walls of their caves.

We don't know why they drew the pictures. They had to go
57．into the cave to do it, so they must have had a plan. They probably took a light
58．them, which was made of animal fat. Maybe they drew the pictures to
59．good luck when they hunted. Others think the spears(矛)in the pictures mean that they were
60．other people to hunt.

For paint, they mixed animal fat with some different things like dirt or berries. They used sticks to brush the paint onto the
61．of their caves. Some of the drawings are colorful and others are black from the burned end of a stick.

These people drew what they saw around them
62．such as tigers, deer, horses, and sometimes birds and fish. They also drew people, but not very
63．.

The pictures are
64．good most of the time. The tigers look strong and powerful. Many of the horses and deer look graceful.

These drawings have been
65．in more than 130 caves- mostly in England and France. Maybe there are more that we haven't found yet. It is interesting to look at such old drawings.

Marie Curie, a world famous woman scientist, was born into a teacher's family in Poland in 1867and died in1934.
