英语教案－A doctor for animals

tle experience of illness. I eat and drink whatever I like, and sleep when I cannot keep awake. I never do anything whatever on the ground(实际上) that it is good for health, though in actual fact the things I like doing are mostly wholesome(有益健康的).

　　Psychologically(从心理方面) there are two dangers to be guarded against in old age. One of these is undue absorption(不适当的迷恋) in the past. It does not do to live in memories, in regrets for the good old days, or in sadness about friends who are dead. Ones thoughts must be directed to the future, and to things about which there is something to be done. This is not always easy; ones own past is gradually increasing weight. It is easy to think to oneself that ones emotions used to be more vivid than they are, and ones mind more keen. If this is true it should be forgotten, and if it is forgotten it will probably not be true.

Saint Bernard dogs

　　The famous Saint Bernard dogs have saved many travelers lost in storms on the Alps.  The dogs home is a travelers shelter kept by Augustinian monks.  It stands at the highest point of the Great Saint Bernard Pass. For hundreds of years the pass has been used for travel between Switzerland and Italy.  The journey was often dangerous.

　　Snow and ice still block the pass for months. But the dogs are no longer needed to search it after a storm.  In 1964 the Great Saint Bernard Tunnel was opened for motor transport. The tunnel, only three and a half miles long, was the first alpine tunnel for road traffic.

　　Motorists are not the only users of the Great Saint Bernard Tunnel. Observers report that swallows now take the tunnel route.  It has become part of their spring flyway as they migrate north from Italy .

Teenagers need friends

　　Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, and in particular their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice.

　　It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a circle of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.

　　However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions?

　　Who chooses your friends?

　　Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?

　　Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like?

　　Your answers are welcome.
