Gulliver enjoyed travelling. He worked as a doctor on a ship called the Antelope. On May 4, 1699, they were going to the Far East.

One night, his ship crashed against the rocks. Gulliver was lucky to swim safely to a beach and fell asleep. When he woke up, he found himself a prisoner(囚犯) of tiny people. They were less than 6 inches tall and lived in the island country of Lilliput. After he promised(承诺) to follow their rules, they set him free and he could visit the city.

Gulliver learnt about the war between Lilliput and Blefuscu and helped the king: he pulled large Blefuscu ships to Lilliput. The king was happy. He wanted to make the people of Blefuscu his slaves(奴隶)，but Gullver did not like this plan. The king got angry. Some bad men in Lilliput wanted to kill Gulliver. Gulliver had to run away from Lilliput to Blefuscu.

He was welcomed by the king of Blefuscu. Three days later, he saw a boat of normal size — that is , big enough to carry him — overturned (翻到) in the water. He asked the king of Blefuscu to help him fix it. After about a month the boat was ready and Gulliver set sail. He arrived safely back in England.

Most children are taught the virtue(美德) of honesty from stories. The famous story of Pinocchio teaches the importance of telling the truth. Every time Pinocchio lies, his nose grows longer and longer. Another story is about the boy who "cried wolf." In the end, he loses all his sheep and the trust of his villagers because he tells lies many times. These types of stories show children that "honesty is the best policy(策略)". Ifthis is true, then why do so many people lie? The fact is that people lie for many reasons.

One reason people lie is to minimize(使最小化) a mistake. It is true that everyone does something wrong from time to time. However, some people aren't brave enough to tell others that they have made a mistake because they are afraid they will be blamed(责备). For example, students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework. They might say that they left the work at home. In fact, they didn't do the work at all. These students don't want to get into trouble or seem irresponsible(无责任感的), so they tell a lie to save face.

Another reason for lying has something to do with self-protection. Parents, particularly(尤其) those with young children, may teach their children to use this type of "protective" lie in certain situations. What should children do if a stranger calls while the parents are out? Many parents teach their children to tell the stranger that their parents are too busy to come to the phone at that time. In this situation, protective lying can mean greater safety.

People lie for many reasons, both good and bad. Lying to keep the peace or to stay safe can have good results. However, lying to stay out of trouble can cause more trouble in the end. Understanding the reasons behind the action to lie might minimize this habit of lying.

When Yang Fan was taking a walk around the Yuliang Island, she saw a black swan in the grass. Yang Fan knew that swans could be fierce(凶猛的). But as she got close to this one. It didn't move.

She was sure that the swan needed help. So Yang covered the bird's head with her jacket to keep its cool, picked it up carefully, and held it in her arms. She decided to send it to the Animal Care Center, but the center was across the Han River, far from the park. She didn't know how to carry the swan there. Luckily, some strangers driving by gave her and the swan a lift to a nearby bus stop.

On the bus, no one seemed surprised by "the unusual passenger(乘客)". Instead they were worried. Someone helped Yang Fan call the center on the way. And Li Tao, an animal-care manager, picked her up at the bus stop and drove them to the center. There, the animal doctors found that the swan was poisoned, caused by eating something used to kill mice. The swan was well looked after at the center. She even made a friend —a little dog. Thanks to people's love and care, luckily she was cured(治愈) two months later.

"It's a moving story. Yang Fan travelled about two hours and it was really a long way." says Li Tao. "And all the strangers wanted to give her and the swan a hand. " He adds, "I am happy to see that more and more people have realized the importance of protecting the wild life since Xiangyang began to build the civilized(文明) city".

Have you touched a cute dog recently? If that dog touches you with its nose, you may find how wet and cold it is. If dogs are so warm and fluffy (毛茸茸的), then why are their noses so cold?

Before, people thought that dogs had cold noses to help them control their body temperature(温度). But, a new study has shown some interesting findings about dogs' noses. The study finds that when the air temperature is 30℃, the tip of a dog's nose is about five degrees cooler than the air. But why is this?

The researchers believe that the tip of a dog's nose has a special sensory function (探测功能). So, they do an experiment to test it. The study shows that dogs can find weak heat sources—like a small animal—with their noses from 1. 5 meters away.

The research team studies three dogs named Charlie, Delfi and Kevin. For the experiment, the dogs have to tell the difference between two objects. The two objects are heated to different temperatures. Amazingly, all three dogs are able to sense the temperature difference between both objects.

The study also finds that the heat from the objects in the experiment is too weak to be felt by human hands, even at very short distances. The dogs are able to sense these heated objects from a distance, but humans are only able to feel the warmth of the object if they touch it.

To know more about it, the research team also studies the brain activity of 13 dogs. When a warm object is put near their noses, there is an increase in brain activity.
