14．　　For ten weeks, in a great house on the island of St Thomas, Dr. John C. Lilly tried to teach a dolphin to speak English. Margaret Howe, an experiment (试验) helper, would live day and night with Peter, a dolphin (海豚). And they would eat, sleep and play together from Sunday to Friday, with only Saturdays off for Margaret. She lived her life in swimming clothes — with a coat on colder evenings — and cut her hair short so that she could get on with Peter more easily.
　　After a few days, Peter was becoming more and more interested in Margaret. Again and again he threw a ball to her to get her to play. As time went by, he only wanted to play ball with her and not on his own.
　　The problem was that, just at the time Peter and Margaret began to get on well just like two best friends, the experiment finished and the lab (实验室) was closed. Margaret left the place and then went home. After a few weeks, Margaret heard the sad news that Peter had killed himself by staying at the bottom of his pool quietly.
　　Dolphins may not speak English — but, just like humans (人类) , they could also feel sad when they lose their best friend.

15．　　A man sat at an underground (地铁) station in Washington, D. C. , and began to play the violin. It was a cold day in January. He played six Bach (巴赫) pieces for about 45 minutes. Thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
　　Three minutes went by and the first person, a middle﹣aged man, began to find that there was a musician playing. He stopped for some minutes, listened carefully and then went on to his work.
　　After a minute, a young woman began to put some money in the box before him and started to walk again. Then another two or three minutes went by and someone stood and listened to him for some time, but the young man looked at his watch and began to walk again — he was late for work.
　　From the beginning to the end, only six people stopped and stayed for some minutes, twenty gave him money but went on to walk. When he finished playing, no one applauded (鼓掌). No one knew that the man playing the violin was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world.
　　This is a real story. The Washington Post(《华盛顿邮报》) asked Joshua Bell to do the experiment. What do we learn from this story?If we do not have time to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other things are we missing?

　　"What's this?" The policeman asked.
　　"No, no, it's not mine…" The man screamed.
　　The policeman took him into the police station. The young man was a robber (抢劫犯).
　　The butcher was very afraid. "Thank you, Mrs. Smith. Your scream saved me!" the butcher said, "but how did you know he was a robber?"
　　"Me?No, I didn't know that he was a robber. " said Mrs. Smith.
　　"But why did you scream?" The butcher asked in surprise.

18．阅读下面的材料, 然后根据材料内容回答问题．
　　Do you like school uniforms?
　　Andy: We wear uniforms from Monday to Friday. Our uniforms are nice. Boys wear black jackets and blue trousers. Girls wear light green jacket and grey trousers. Boys wear ties and girls wear bowknots (蝴蝶结). They make us look smart. The uniforms have the names of our classes on the chest. I think it's a good idea to wear uniform, we don't have to spend much time thinking about what to wear. And you can tell what class a student is in from the uniforms.
　　Mary: In our school we wear uniforms for the flag﹣raising ceremony (升旗仪式) on Monday. Both girls' and boys' uniforms include ties, shirts and coat. Girls wear skirt. They are in two colors, blue and white. I don't like them. I don't like to look like other students. I don't know what they are made of , but they are too hard and uncomfortable at all. And they are often not the right sizes. I look funny in them.
