Are there some days when you don’t want to take a bath? An invention called DryBath

can solve your problem---you can get clean by using it without taking a bath!

A few years ago, Ludwick Marishane and his friend enjoyed a day at the beach. At the end of

the day Ludwick’s friend was so tired that he didn’t want to take a bath. Then an idea came into

Ludwick’s mind---why not invent something to help people get clean without taking a bath?

Ludwick ran home, did some research (on his mobile phone because he didn’t have a computer)

and over time invented DryBath.

During his research, Ludwick also learned that over 2 billion people in the world live

without improved sanitation (衛(wèi)生設(shè)施). That’s about one third of the world’s population.

Ludwick wants to help not only his “l(fā)azy” friend, but also people who can’t easily get clean.

Staying clean can help people keep in good health.

Some hotels are also interested in DryBath. It can save a lot of water and help save the

environment, too.

What does Ludwick think of his invention? “DryBath is a win-win situation. I get to save the

world and make a lot of money!” he says.

Dolphins are not fish. They are mammals. They live in groups and speak to each other in their own language. But they are quite different from almost all land animals. Their brain is as big as man’s and they have a long life-at least 20 or 30 years.

Like some animals, dolphins use sounds to find their way around. They also use those sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. They do not use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaw-the lower part of the mouth.

It is strange that dolphins are friendly to man, and for thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and man. In the 19th century, in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin. The seamen liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. In 1903 a passenger on a boat with the name of The Penguin shot and hurt Jack. Luckily the dolphin didn’t die, and after a long time he was well again. He guided the ships through the area for nine more years, but he refused to help the boat The Penguin.

Today, some people still kill dolphins, but many countries in the world now protect them. In these places, people are not allowed to kill them.

1.How long can dolphins live? ( No more than 7 words )

2.How do dolphins find their way? (No more than 2 words )

3.Who was Jack? (No more than 2 words)

4.What did Jack do for the seamen ? (No more than 4 words)

5.Jack didn’t help the Penguin .Why ?(No more than 8 words)
