You've probably heard of working dogs that help police officers. Or horses that help farmers. Did you know that carrier pigeons can be trained to help people too? Here are some examples.
Mailman
Carrier pigeons can be trained to carry messages to people. The note is placed into a small can. The can is tied to the pigeon's leg. Then the pigeon flies off with the note.
Lifeguard
From high up in the sky, specially trained pigeons can spot orange life jackets in the ocean. Sometimes it is difficult for humans to spot people lost at sea, especially when the weather is bad. However, pigeons can fly quickly over a large area of water to look for people.
Spy
Many years ago, carrier pigeons were used to help our country during wars. "Spy pigeons" had small cameras that were tied to their feet. As a pigeon flew over enemy land, the camera took photos of the land below. This would allow our soldiers to see where the enemies were and what they were doing.
So next time you see a pigeon, stop and watch it closely. What might look like an ordinary bird to most people might actually be helpful.
46. What kind of people can the carrier pigeons find?
A. The people in orange life jackets at sea.
B. The people in red jackets in the boats.
C. The people swimming in the ocean.
D. The people lost in the mountains.
47. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. A pigeon could predict what the weather would be like.
B. A pigeon was tied with a small camera around its leg.
C. A pigeon could help us to know the number of the enemy.
D. A pigeon carried the camera to take photos of the enemy land.
48. What is the purpose of writing this article?
A. To make readers like pigeons more.
B. To teach readers about the lives of wild pigeons.
C. To tell readers about real jobs held by carrier pigeons.
D. To share science fictions about pigeons helping people.

Whether it's dinner at a friend's house or a business meeting over lunch, we judge people based on their table manners. But what can you do if your kids do not behave themselves at the dinner tables? The following are seven tips to set your children on the road to good table manners:
●Look for the good. Instead of pointing out(指出) all the things your children do wrong, point out what they do right. Please say, for example, “ I am so proud of you. It was wonderful the way you served yourself.”
●Don’t turn dinner into an unpleasant “l(fā)ecture time”. That will turn kids off not only manners, but dinner, and you, too.
●Check your own example. Don't show up for dinner in just your underwear (內(nèi)衣) unless you want your kids to do the same.
●Don't always consider your kids lazy and dirty ones. Instead, point out the behavior in a tender way. For example: “It’s a good idea to unfold your napkin, so if food falls you won’t dirty your clothes.”
●Teach your kids good manners in the form of a game. One night a week, try to have a formal dinner. Try dressing up, serve a special meal, and expect more formal manners. That will help improve their sense ( 意識) of manners.
● Make kids understand part of the tradition. Invite guests over and let kids help serve them. This helps them indirectly learn about table manners.
●Try dining out once in a while. Fast food restaurants aren't counted(算在內(nèi)). Try a nice restaurant and let kids order their own food, pay the bill and give the tip.

C. ordering their own food and paying the bill D. unfolding the napkin to keep their clothes clean
