First time dog owners may meet many problems and get to know how to train their pets.
Sometimes a puppy, or even an older dog, will chew their fingers or bite them. Even in play, this
can really hurt. Unfortunately, many pet owners tolerate this in a young dog. However, when the
dog gets larger, it is not fun to be bitten by it. Training a dog never to place his teeth on human
skin or clothing is an important lesson. From now on, if you feel your dog's teeth while you are playing with him, say "Ouch" in a loud voice and move away from him. He will soon learn
that when he bites, you will not play with him any more.
Many people have another bad habit. They tend to allow their pets to bite and hold on to clothing. Don't let your dog
do this to you. When he does something you want him to do, praise him and tell him he's a good dog. You can also give him a treated at the same time he performs the good behavior. Eventually he will learn which kind of behavior is acceptable and which is not. Remember that reward is more effective than punishment. If you reward your dog when he does what you want him to, he will become very well-behaved. Also remember that puppies need to chew on something. So give him a tied stocking or an old shoe. If he chews the wrong thing, take it away while saying "No" and give him something he can chew. If dogs are trained well, they will truly be your friends for a lifetime.

For most of the people, the Olympic Games are exciting and unforgettable. Y ou might have known quite a lot about the modern Olympic Games, (85) the Summer Games, which began in Greece in 1896. But how much do you know about Special Olympic Games for the disabled?
The first Special Olympic Games were held in Rome in 1960. Now soon after every Summer Games, the host City holds a Special Olympic Games, (86) the Games in Barcelona in 1992 and in Atlanta in 1996. Over the years, it has (87) into one of the largest sporting events for the disabled in the world. Many people who watched the Games said that they were greatly impressed by the effort and courage shown through the Games.
All the sportsmen and sportswomen who took part in the Games had a(n) (88) goal: They wanted to prove to themselves and to the world that they were (89) life and hope, and that they were willing to try and eager to learn.
The Games (90) offer the rest of the world a chance to learn more about the disabled by watching them competing against each other. Their beliefs, their dreams and their efforts are all on show for the world to see. " The W orld Games are much, much more than a just sports competition." Said Special Olympics Chairman, Tim Shriver.

On two wheels in a green Land
It's often said that the best way to see a country is to use the method of transport which is traditional in that place. So people should see Australia on horseback, Nepal on foot and the US by car. If this is true, then a bicycle is the p (92) way to visit Sri Lanka. Although the 18-speed mountain bike I used is not an everyday sight, more traditional types can be seen all over the c (93) .
Sharing the same kind of transport as local people changes the way you see the place. Y ou are traveling at a speed that fits the environment. It is not so slow that you only see a s (94) area each day, and not so fast that the details of the countryside are missed. Better still, you can stop whenever you want to listen to the birds or the sound of water, you can talk to people, smell their cooking or take a photo. H (95) , this doesn't mean that cycling in Sri Lanka is relaxing. If you want to see the whole country, you have to leave the towns and villages and cycle through forest—where the temperature is 37°C, cross rivers, climb hills and go over paths which are made of mud, rock or sand.
The most pleasant paths in the forest follow the irrigation canals. T (96) carry water into the bright green rice fields. During the afternoon, groups of children, farm workers and water buffaloes all come to s (97) in canals. Then, when you climb up the hills in the centre of the country, you see that the side of every hill is covered with rows of trees in another lovely green. In fact, the whole country is covered in more different and beautiful shades of green t (98) . I've ever thought.
Now I'm wondering where to ride my bike next — perhaps along the canals of the Netherlands, or through the city streets of China...
E Answer the questions
Leadership in a time of trouble
The Chilean mine collapsed on August 5, 2010. There were thirty-three men trapped at the bottom of the mine, 700 meters below the surface of the earth. The men knew they were in big trouble. Would they be rescued, or would they be forgotten and remain buried alive? It was a time of despair (^M). Luckily, though, there was one man who did not despair, one man who rose to take charge of their dangerous situation. He was their leader: Luis Urzua.
Urzua was a miner and he had the experience and knowledge gained from working underground for thirty years. He immediately took charge of the situation. He organized the men into three groups to give them a team spirit. He kept the men busy. He gave them jobs to do and kept them working at regular hours. This gave the men a structure and a sense of order. In the end, this "normality"
gave the men hope.
Leadership is always important, but it is especially important in times of trouble. A leader has to know how to find out what the problems are and then set goals that are achievable by his group. Some people seem to be natural born leaders but leadership can also be achieved by knowledge and experience. It is never too early to begin learning how to be a leader. You can do this by accepting responsibility, e.g. being the class monitor or even looking after a younger child. These things give you the experience of solving problems and being responsible for others.
The Chilean miners know how important leadership is. They are thankful to their leader, Luis Urzua.
