Away from HomeCristobal Martin was born in Granada, Spain, 38 years ago. " Granada is the most beautiful city in the world, "says Mr. Martin. "Its sun is warm and its air is clear. "Today, Mr. Martin works in Germany, where the weather is often cold and rainy. But in Germany, he works in a factory and makes a much better pay."In Granada, there is very little industry. I was only a farm worker. When the German company came and offered me a job, I took it right away. " Mr. Martin works in a chemical factory. He works from 7: 00 am to 4: 00 pm. From 10: 00 pm to 1: 00 am, he has another job cleaning out the office of a doctor in his neighborhood.Mr. Martin does not speak much German. "I wish I had time to go to school and learn more. It would be easier to live here. I have sat with the same men at lunch every day for four years, and we never talk to each other. They think of me as 'foreigner', "he says.After work, Mr. Martin rides home on the bicycle he brought with him from Spain. "I live in a small room that I don't like very much. But I know that a better room is not why I came to Germany. "Mr. Martin hopes that in two years he will have enough money to return home. "I want to open up a small shop, find a wife, and have a satisfactory life for me and my family."Mr Martin lives in a neighborhood with Italians and Spanish people. "We think alike, "he says, " and we don' t mind the noise of the wives and children that the Germans complain about. I am thankful for the jobs Germany has given me. But Germany is not the proper place for me. It is not my home."The weather in Granada is cold and rainy.

Can Dogs See Colors?Man's best friend is colorblind(色盲). Fortunately (fortunate), his 41 (survive) does not depend upon the ability to see colors. The 42 (sharp) of his sense of smell makes up for his 43 (fail) to see colors. It helps him to tell between things.44 (study) support the conclusion that dogs live in a 45 (color) world The testing done primarily 46 (focus) on the dogs' responses to colors for food Dogs could not tell the 47 (differ) between one color signal for food, and other colors that were not for food.Most animals' lack of ability to see colors can be 48 (easy) understood Many colorblind animals hunt for food in the dark of night. Their other senses have highly 49 (develop). Thus their lack of color vision does not affect them.Other animals with color vision are 50 (monkey) and apes (猿). Both can be trained to open a colored door, behind which is food.

Many Ways of LifeAll over the world, people do many of the same things necessary in order to live, yet in different ways.Along the Amazon River, people live in river houses. Many South American Indians live in grass huts, and Eskimos may live in snow houses. You may be living in an apartment building several stories high. 26__People live in different places, and they eat different foods. 27__ For instance, sea spiders(蜘蛛)are caught for food in Japan. You may have eaten a sea spider, too, in the form of a seafood cold dish. In the United States, you may buy your lunch from a hotdog stad 28__ But there, a native seller may sell you a hotdog that is actually a piece of dog meat.29__ Yet the Indians there have found a way to take the poison out from the plant and use the plant to make flour. From the flour, they make the bread, which is the major food all over South America.Much of the food you eat probably comes from your local supermarket. 30__ But an Indonesian on the island of Bali may wait much longer for a meal. There, a sticky (粘性的) liquid is spread on the end of a long pole. Then it is held up in the air until dragonflies (蜻蜓) come along and are stuck in the sticky liqud In this way, a meal is done.
