　　Australian Aborigines (土著居民)

　　Some aborigines live in the desert of Western Australia They gather wild plants and huntwild animals. Their desert environment averages less than eight inches of rain per year. Andthe temperature in summer may rise to 48°℃. The few permanent (永久的) water holes areseparated by hundreds of square miles of sand and rock.

　　On a typical day, the aborigines get up just before sunrise. The people breakfast on waterand food left over from the night before. Children are sent to fetch water. In the cool of theearly morning, the adults talk and make plans for the day. Where should they go for food— toplaces they have been to recently, or to new places? The women decide which plants theywant to collect, and where those plants are most likely to be found. Then they take up theirsticks and set out with large wooden bowls of drinking water on their heads. Their childrenride on their hips (胯) or walk alongside. Meanwhile, the men may have decided to huntanimals.They go to a stream where they will wait to get any animal that may come along.They lie patiently behind a screen of bush they have set up, hoping for a chance to throw aspear (矛) at the animal. If they miss, the animal will run away. So they can only throw once.

　　By noon,the men and women are back at camp.The women are usually with their

　　wooden bowls each filled with fruits or other plant foods; the men are often with only somesmall animals such as rabbits. Since the men's food-getting is less certain of success than thewomen's, most of the aborigines'diet is plant food.

　　Keeper of the Spring

　　An old man lived in a quiet forest high above an Austrian village along the eastern side

　　of the Alps (阿爾卑斯山). He had been hired many years earlier by a young man fom the

　　town council (委員會) to clear away the rubish from the pools of water up in the mountain

　　that fed the lovely spring flowing through their town. Faithully and silentl, he walked

　　around in the hills every day, removed the leaves and branches, and wiped away the mud that

　　would otherwise have choked and polluted the fresh flow of water. The village soon became a

　　popular attraction for vacationers.

　　Years passed. One evening the town council met for its monthly meeting. As they reviewed

　　the budget one man's eye caught the salay being paid to the keeper of the spring. Said the keeper

　　of the purse,“Who is the old man? Why do we keep him on year after year? No one ever sees

　　him. For all we know, he is doing us no good. He isn't ncessry any longer." After a vote,

　　they stopped the old man's services.

　　For several weeks, nothing changed.

　　By early autumn, the branches and leaves of trees began to fall into the pools, blocking

　　the rushing flow of water. Within a few days, the water became darker and darker. Within

　　another week, a terrible smell was detected (覺察). Soon, fingers of disease reached deeply

　　into the vllage.

　　Realizing their error of judgment, the counil rehired the old keeper of the spring and,

　　within a few weeks, the river of life began to clear up.

　　Never become discouraged with the seeming smallness of your task, job, or life. The key to

　　achievement is believing that what you can do will make a difference.

　　A. keep the pools of water clean

　　Super Sense of Smell

　　➊Dogs have a surprising sense of smell. It allows them to perform excellently at

　　searcb-and-rescue operations. It also enables them to detect bombs. They can even sniff (嗅)

　　out chemical changes resulting from certain diseases. Therefore, dogs are trained to save

　　people's lives.

　　❷Dogs begin training when they are two months old. Their owners drop them off at training

　　centrs from 9 am. to 5 p.nm. every weekday. During the time, trainers play hide-and-seek with the

　　dogs to train their sense of smell. They teach the dogs to climb ladders and run past obstacles (障

　　礙). They also expose the dogs to loud noises.

　　❸Diseases have specific smells. Although the smells are usually too subtle for human

　　noses t如o detect, dogs can tell something is wrong and wamn people about the problem by

　　barking. Many people have reported that their dogs warned them of an ilness.

　　❹Scientists are training dogs to detect disease. A dog is asked to snff a wheel. Blood

　　samples from different people are attached to the outside of the wheel. Blood from a cancer

　　patient has a slightly different smell than blood from a healthy person. The dog must figure

　　out which blood sample to pick.

　　❺Scientists are working to design an electronic nose that can sniff out cancer. To do that,

　　they need to figure out what molecules (分子) are sent out fom the cancer. Then they can create

　　a mixture with similar smell to that of the cancer. Once scientists know which molecules match

　　the cancer's smell, e-nose could be designed to detect cancer.
