Unbelievable Stories of
Animals Acting Just Like Humans
Horses are picky eaters
Horses have an even better sense of
smell than humans do. When horses raise their
noses and
open their nostrils
(
鼻孔
) , their nervous system
allows them to sense smells we can't sense. This
might explain why they refuse dirty
water and carefully move around meadows, eating
only the
tastiest grasses, experts
say.
Whale says

In 2011, a whale
expert spotted a humpback whale trapped in a
fishing net and spent an hour

it.

an
hour-long
display
of
thanks,
the
whale

their
boat

Pandas like to be
naughty
Is there
anything more lovely than a baby panda, except
maybe a human baby? In fact, baby
pandas sometimes behave like human
babies. They sleep in the same positions and value
their
thumbs. Pandas are shy by nature
for its shy behaviors such as covering its face
with a paw of
ducking its head when
confronted by a stranger.
A cat honors its owner
Paper towels, and a plastic cup are just a few of

gray-and-white cat, has placed on his

why
I,
a
middle-aged
woman
with
no
athletic
talent,
travel
to
perilous
places
—
the
jungles of Thailand or Borneo, for example, where
the water is often unsafe and the
food
risky;
places
with
infectious
diseases,
poisonous
snakes
and
the
wildest
animals;
some
places where the locals
are just a few generations past
headhunting.
I never
know how to answer. My travel decisions assumed a
new gravity nine years ago after I
suffered a stroke. To prevent another
stroke, my doctors told me, I'd have to take
dangerously
high levels of blood
thinner (
血液稀释剂
) for the rest
of my life and any travel would be
risky.
I had to think
about what was important to me: family, of course,
and friends. But then what?
No matter
how many times I thought about it, no bucket list
was complete without travel. Then I
had
to decide how I might manage the risk. I had to
decide how lucky I felt.
My return to travel after my stroke came in baby
steps. The first real test of my travel courage
came nine months after my stroke when I
joined my husband, Jack, on a business trip to
China.
After we'd toured the remains of
a Tang dynasty temple on a high mountain, Jack
wanted to ride
down on a toboggan
(
长雪橇
).
Before the stroke it would've
seemed like fun. But now? I hesitated. My mental
klaxon (
高音喇

)
screamed
warnings
about
the
consequences
of
a
cut,
a
fall,
and
a
crash.
Then,
gaining
confidence from who knows where, I
lowered myself carefully into the toboggan, which
marked
my adventure travel
comeback.
In the years
since then, I've traveled about twenty-five
percent of the time. Through it all, my
lucks held out
—
no
deadly falls, no car accidents or serious
infections. For me, adventure travel is
a risk worth taking. Travel broadens my

In
the
nineteenth
century,
one
of
America's
greatest
writers,
Walt
Whitman,
helped
people
learn to value poetry. Whitman created
a new kind of poetry.
Walt Whitman was born in eighteen nineteen in New
York City. During his long life, he watched
America
grow from
a young
nation
to
the
strongest
industrial
power
in
the
world.
As
a young
man,
Whitman worked as a school teacher, a printer and
a newspaper reporter. He was thirty-six
years old when he published his first
book of poetry in eighteen fifty-five. He called
it
Leaves of
Grass
. It had only twelve
poems. The poems are written in free verse. The
lines do not follow any
set form. Some
lines are short. Some are long. The words at the
end of each line do not have a
similar
sound. They do not rhyme.
One
of
America's
greatest
thinkers
and
writers
immediately
recognized
the
importance
of
Leaves
of
Grass
.
Ralph
Waldo
Emerson
praised
Whitman's
work.
But
most
other
poets
and
writers said nothing and even denounced
it. Most readers also rejected Whitman's poems.
The
new
form
of
his
poetry
surprised
many
people.
Even
his
own
brother
told
Whitman
that
he
should stop writing poetry. But Whitman
had many things to say. And he continued to say
them.
Readers began to understand that
America had a great new poetic voice.
Walt Whitman's poems praise the
United States and its democracy. The poet
expressed his love
for America and its
people in many ways. Experts today praise Leaves
of Grass as a major literary
work. In
eighteen seventy-three, Walt Whitman suffered a
stroke. He spent the last years of his
life in Camden, New Jersey. Whitman was
poor and weak during the last years of his life.
He died
in eighteen ninety-two. Some
critics say Walt Whitman was a spokesman for
democracy. Others
say he was not a
spokesman for anything. Instead, they simply call
him a great poet.

travel
with
us?
one
of
the
backpackers
offered.
They
were
experienced
adventurers who would work for a few
months, save, then travel for as long as they
could. Their
current plan was to
explore the Middle East and Europe in three months
while working in London.
It
seemed risky
to
travel with
strangers,
but
my
instinct
said
yes.
For
the
next
two
weeks,
I
explored
Israel
with
the
backpackers
and
learned
to
trust
my
instincts
in
all
types
of
new
and
interesting situations. When they hook
a ride, I took the bus, but when they wanted to
steal into
the King David Hotel's
swimming pool, I led the way. The world opened up
to me because I chose
to travel alone.
I joined complete strangers, who become close
friends. Years later, one couple
from
the backpacking group even flew from Sydney to
Phoenix to be in my wedding. The trip was
such
a
special
experience
that
it
gave
me
confidence
in
all
areas
of
my
life.
Since
then,
I've
backpacked
alone
across
South
Africa,
sky-dived
from
12,000
feet
in
New
Zealand
and
even
moved across the U.S.
with no job lined up.
On
my
third
day
wandering
in
Israel
with
my
new
friends,
I
bumped
into
the
woman
I
was
supposed to meet. Though I was happy
she was all right, I was grateful she hadn't
picked up the
phone.
