Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. Like pairs of dogs you  36  find in most any neighborhood, these two loved each other and played  37  so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their own houses.

One evening, Brownie’s family  38  that Brownie hadn’t returned home. They went looking for him with no  39 .Brownie didn’t appear the next day, and, despite their  40  to find him, by the next week he was still missing.

Curiously, Spotty  41  at Brownie’s house alone, barking. Busy with their own lives, they just ignored(不理睬)the  42  little neighbor dog.

Finally, one morning Spotty  43  to take “no” for an answer. Spotty followed Ted about, barking strongly, then running towards a nearby wood, as if to say “ 44  me! It’s urgent!”

Finally, Ted followed the anxious Spotty. The little dog led the man to a  45  spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie  46 , one of his hind legs stuck in a steel leg hold trap. Horrified, Ted now wished he’d taken Spotty’s earlier requirement  47 .Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable.

Spotty had done more than simply  48  Brownie’s human owner to his trapped friend. In a circle around the  49  dog. Ted found some dog food---which was later  50  as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that  516  !

Spotty had been visiting Brownie  52 , in a single-minded quest to keep his friend alive by offering his own comfort. Spotty had obviously stayed with Brownie to protect him from being hurt, snuggling(依偎) with him at night to keep him  53  and touching him gently with its nose to keep his spirits up.

Brownie’s leg was treated by a veterinarian and he re-covered. For many years afterward, the two  54  watched the faithful friends frolicking(嬉戏) 55  chasing each other down that well-worn path between their houses.

Narasimha Das is on his way to feed 169,379 hungry children. Das is in charge of a kitchen in Vrindaban. The town is about a three-hour drive from India’s capital, New Delhi. Das gets to work at 3:00 a.m. Thirty workers are already working to make tens of thousands of rounds of bread. It will be brought to 1,516 schools in and around Vrindaban.
A Growing Problem
Going to school is difficult for more than 13 million children in India. They must go to work instead, or go hungry. That’s why India began the Mid-Day Meal Scheme, the largest school-lunch program in the world. A free lunch encourages children to come to school and gives them the energy they need for learning. The program began in the 1960s.
The kitchen in Vrindaban is run by the Akshaya Patra Foundation. It is one of the lunch program’s biggest partners. “Just $11.50 can feed one child for an entire year,” said Madhu Sridhar, president of the Akshaya Patra Foundation.
Lunch Is Served!
The Akshaya Patra food truck arrives at Gopalgarh Primary School. Since the program started, the number of underweight children has gone down. The children get foods they need — as long as they finish what’s on their plates.

Most people in the world like to enjoy nature. Travel is one of the most popular ways. Nowadays modern transportation can take people everywhere. But people who lived before the 1880s probably would not travel very far. They would not have time to travel far from their work. Anyone who travelled 1would usually walk or ride a horse. But in Germany a man named Karl Benz had an idea that 2the world in a dramatic way. In 1885, he made 3. His car had three wheels, 4most cars today. The car could only go 516 kilometres an hour.
At around the same time, the man 6his first car in Detroit, America is called Henry Ford. Detroit is now still famous all over the world as the centre of American car-making.
