  Dolphins are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time --- at least twenty or thirty years.

  Like some other animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.

  Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.

  There is a story about sailors in the 19^th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded (傷害) Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area --- except for The Penguin.

  Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.

Have you ever heard the saying “If you want a friend，be one”?

Here is a story about one new teacher making friends with the girls and boys in her class on the first day of school. As the bell rang，the teacher came in smiling at each girl and boy. Then she said in a quiet voice，“Good morning，girls and boys! How happy I am because I have all of you in my class this year. I’d like to know each of you. I am sure we will enjoy working together. I am sure that the more we get together the happier we’ll be.” Her voice was so sweet and her looking was so friendly. Everyone believed what she said.

She told the girls and boys her name and wrote it on the blackboard. She told them some of the things she liked to do and she was hoping to do with them during the year.

Then she said to the whole class，“Now you know my name and the things I like. Next I want to know your names and the things you like. Then I will feel that I know you.”

THIS is a story about a boy called Sparky. For Sparky, school was all but impossible. He failed every subject in the eighth grade. He got a zero in physics. It made him the worst physics student in the school’s history. He didn’t do much better in sports. He made the school golf team, but lost the only important match of the season.

He didn’t have friends, either. Other kids didn’t care about him. If a classmate said “hello” to Sparky outside of school, he would feel very surprised. There’s no way to tell how he might have done at dating(約會). Sparky never once asked a girl to go out in high school. He was too afraid of being turned down.  

He was a loser(失敗者), and he and his classmates knew it. But, somehow, he decided to keep trying. The only thing important in his life was drawing. He was proud of his ability even though no one else appreciated it. He submitted(遞交) some cartoons for his high school yearbook, but they were rejected.

After completing high school he wrote a letter to the Walt Disney Studios. He was told to submit some samples. He spent a great deal of time on the drawings. They were rejected. Another loss for the loser.  

So Sparky decided to write his own auto biography(自傳) in cartoons. He created his childhood self – a little-boy loser: Charlie. He never succeeded in kicking a football and never got a date with the little red-haired girl. Sparky, the boy who had such a lack of success in school and whose work was rejected again and again, was Charles Schulz. He created the Peanuts comic strip and the world-famous cartoon characters Charlie Brown and Snoopy.
