Dolphins are not fish. They are mammals（哺乳动物）. They live in groups and speak to each other in their own language. But they are quite different from almost all land animals. Their brain（大脑）is as big as men’s and they live a long life-at least 20 or 30 years.
Like some animals, dolphins use sounds to help them find their way around. They also use these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. They do not use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaw-the lower part of the mouth.
It si strange that dolphins are friendly to men, and for thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and men. In the 19 th century, in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin, the seaman liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack. From 1871 to 1903 a passenger on a boat with the name of The Penguin shot and hurt Jack. Luckily the dolphin didn’t die, and after a long time he was well again. He guided the ships through the area for nine more year, but he refused to help the boat The Penguin.
Today, some people still kill dolphins, but many countries in the world now protect them. In these places, people are not allowed to kill them.

Nov. 26 th, 2006 Dear Cathy,
I like your program very much. It has a lot of interesting stories, attractive
games and popular English song. From your program we can learn many new words and expressions. We can improve our listening and speaking in English.
We can also know more about the culture of other countries in the world. In a word, we learn a lot from your program.
I’m sorry to tell you that I can’t follow you easily sometimes because you speak a little bit fast. It’s also a pity that we can only watch your program twice a week.
Thank you for giving us a lot of fun! I wish your program a bright future!
Yours sincerely,
Wang Ping。
