(2019·广西模拟)In January 2017, a series of fires in central Chile's La Maue region burned down over 457,000 hectares of forest, leaving behind nothing but burnt ground.Now，three border shepherd dogs are helping replant it by doing what they love most, running.
Das, Olivia, and Summer, three female border dogs have been working hard to bring the forest burnt by fire back to life, since March. They are essentially running and playing, but their work is important. The dogs' owner, 32-year-old Francisca Torres, takes them to various areas of burnt forest in her truck, equips them with special bags which she fills with seeds of local plants. Then the dogs are sent out to run around and spread as many seeds as they can. When they return, she rewards them with snacks, fills up their bags and sends them out on another run.
Torres, who trains the dogs not to attack any wild animal while on seed spreading

tasks, thinks border shepherd dogs are perfectly suited for the job, because of their intelligence, energy and speed.They've learned that they have to empty their bags in order to receive their tasty reward when they return, and can cover much more ground than a human ever could.Every day, they can cover up to 30 kilometers and spread around eight kilograms of seeds, while a person on foot could only cover 3 kilometers. Most importantly, they love what they do.
Replanting the vast burned-down forest in just a few days will take years, but Torres hopes that her dogs will bring back enough plants for some of the animals to return. Torres has seen some fields that are now totally green thanks to the work of Summer, Olivia and Das. In some of the 15 forests that the three border shepherd dogs have been responsible for, grass is coming back, and small trees are beginning to push through the burnt earth. Hopefully, enough seeds will come up soon for animals to come back.

(2019·石家庄模拟)In most situations, bystanders' responses like disapproving glares, uninvited comments or pieces of advice on a child's angry behavior can add on the stress of the situation.But sometimes bystanders truly understand, and sometimes their words or actions can make a positive difference.One mom experienced this firsthand.
This mom was noticeably pregnant and traveling alone with her young son at a Los Angeles airport.Then things had taken a turn for the worse.
The boy, about 18 months old, was in the midst of what Beth, a Facebook user, referred to as a “total meltdown”. He was running all over the place, kicking, screaming, and flopping down (猛然躺下) on the floor, dead set on not getting aboard the plane.His mom did her best to calm him down, but, according to Beth, “she couldn't pick him up because he was so upset.He kept running away from her, then lying down on the ground, kicking and screaming again.” Finally, the mom came_to_her_wit's_end.She sat down on the floor next to her son, buried her face in her hands, and began to cry.
Then the most amazing thing happened.
A group of six or seven women, Beth included, circled around the mother-son pair and did something to help.Beth sang him “The Itsy-Bitsy Spider”．Another offered an orange.Another gave him a toy she had on hand.Another helped get his cup out of Mom's bag.Yet another tended to Mom by offering her a water bottle.With the help
