     In England, "Bank Holidays" are Easter Monday, May Day, the Spring Bank Holiday (the last
Monday in May), the Summer Bank Holiday (the last Monday in August). Christmas Day, Boxing
Day and New Year's Day. During the Bank Holiday, all the banks are closed.
    The August Bank Holiday is perhaps the most popular one of the year, partly because it comes
at a time when children are not at school. Very many people try to make this a long weekend, and
go away to the seaside of the country. The result is that anyone who can manage to take a holiday
at another day would be well advised to do so, for the roads get crowded with traffic.
     In recent years, there has been much talk of creating another Bank Holiday, mid-way between
August and Christmas, but nothing has yet been done. October would be a good month because the
weather is often pleasant then. Many people would welcome an extra (額外的) bank Holiday or two
because England has fewer than most European countries.

     Dogs are friends of man. They work for us. They hunt with us. They also play with us. But a long
time ago, all over the world, dogs were wild. Dogs can go back to the Stone Age. All dogs had the
same ancestor (祖先). It is believed that this ancestor was much like a wolf. Other animals, like fox,
also came from this ancestor. Thousands of years ago, man began to tame (使馴服) the wild dogs.
When the dogs were tamed, they were trained (訓(xùn)練) well. The strong dogs then became working
animals. They were trained to pull heavy loads (擔(dān)子). They learned to keep watching over sheep
and other animals. Working dogs could do other things, too. Some dogs were not strong. But they
could help man hunt. Other dogs were best at pets. At first, there were only a few kinds of dogs.
