We often hear stories of animals rescued people. But now someone has managed to return the favor. The event took place on one snowy January morning where Thomas Smith was walking her dog, Jack, in the park. “As I was walking, I just saw Jack running onto the ice towards the ducks in the middle, and then he falls into the water,” said Smith. He realized he had no choice but try and save his dogs.” Finally, I got Jack by a neck and pulled him out. I don’t think of I have ever felt so cold by the time we got back to the land.

Life is kind of like a party. You invite a lot of people, some leave early, some stay all night, some laugh with you, some laugh at you, and some show up really late. But in the end, after the fun, there are a few who stay to help you clean up the mess. And most of the time, they aren’t even the ones who made the mess. 1. They are the ones who matter most. Here are four things real friends do differently:
They face problems together. A real friend is someone who sees the pain in your eyes while everyone else still believes the smile on your face. 2. Just look for someone who will face them with you.
3. Your word means everything. If you say you’re going to do something, DO IT! If you say you’re going to be somewhere, BE THERE! If you say you feel something, MEAN IT! If you can’t, won’t, and don’t, then DON’T LIE. Real friends keep promises and tell the truth upfront.
They accept each other. Trying to change a person never works. A real friend is someone who truly knows you and loves you just the same. 4. Be yourself and people will love the real you. If you feel like changing something about your friend, ask yourself what change you can make in yourself instead.
They support each other’s growth changes. Our needs change with time. When someone says, “You’ve changed,” it’s not always a bad thing. 5.Don’t apologize for it. Instead, be open and sincere, explain how you feel, and keep doing what you know in your heart is right,
A. They keep their promises.
B. No one is happy all the time.
C. They make time for each other.
D. Don’t change so that people will like you.
E. Sometimes it just means you’ve grown.
F. These people are your real friends in life.
G. Don’t look for someone who will solve all your problems.
Imagine waking up one day and finding that your beautiful local beach is no more—gone, its fine white sand swept away by an abnormal storm. You go about your daily business for 12 long years and then suddenly the beach is back, all its glory restored by another storm. This is what happened on the island of Achill, off the coast of Ireland, where people are celebrating the return of the beautiful Ashleam Bay beach that was taken from them in 2005.
That in itself is unusual enough, but the story gets even better! You see, another beach in Achill did a disappearing act once, but took much longer to return. The beach at Doonagh, located only six miles away from Ashleam Bay, was restored earlier in 2016 after waves created by spring storms had swept away all the sand in 1984, leaving just rock pools behind.
There is local legend that stretches back hundreds of years that says this beach at Ashlcam Bay returns for a short every seven years then disappears again. But this time around it took a bit longer than that. It was last seen in 2005 and it stayed for a few months at that time before it was washed away again.
As you can imagine, everyone on the island of Achill is thrilled to have their sandy beach back, and even though no one knows how long it’s going to be around for, they are making the most of the time they’ve got before it disappears again.
Some may be quick to believe climate changes cause the phenomenon, but that’s not the reason these two beaches in Achill keep disappearing, Dr Kevin Lynch, a geographer at NUT Galway, says that these occurrences are the result of hydrodynamics (流体力学) and sediment(沉积物) supply, rather than climate changes.
Regardless of what’s causing them, disappearing and reappearing beaches are just part of what makes nature so fascinating.

A. It is not located in Ireland.
B. It disappeared 12 years ago.

D. It is just made up of rocks and pools.
3.According to the local legend, when should the Ashleam Bay beach have come back?
A. In 1982.
B. In 2012.
C. In 2016.
D. In 2018.
4.What does Dr Kevin Lynch think of the phenomenon?
A. Some abnormal storms lead to ocean’s enlargement,
B. It is hard to uncover the mystery of beach’s disappearing.
C. Climate changes can result in beaches disappearing completely.
D. Hydrodynamics and sediment supply cause two beaches to disappear.
