Mary Read: Pirate(海盗) in Disguise

Mary Read was born in England around 1690. She lived most of her life disguised as a man. As a teenager, looking for adventure, she dressed as a boy and got a job at sea. Later, as a young women (still pretending to be a man), she got work on a ship and sailed to the Caribbean.

On one journey, pirates attacked Mary’s ship. Instead of fighting, she joined them. But Mary had to be careful because many pirate ships had a rule: no women allowed.

But one day, she made a surprising discovery; one of the pirates on the ship was actually a woman! Anne Bonny was the captain’s girlfriend, but she was also a pirate herself. Mary told Anne her secret, and the two women became good friends, and powerful fighters. They fought together until they were captured(抓获) in 1720.

The Unbelievable Dolphin

Many people say dolphins are very intelligent (聪明).They seem to be able to think, understand, and learn things quickly. But are they smart like humans or more like cats or dogs ? Dolphins use their brains differently from people. But scientists say dolphin intelligence and human intelligence are alike in the same ways. How? Fact 1：Talk to me

Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”. The name is a specific whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Actually, scientists think dolphins, like people “talk” to each other about a lot of things, such as their age, their feelings, or finding food. And, like humans, dolphins use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. But understanding their conversations is not easy for humans. No one “speaks dolphin” yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.

Fact 2：Let’s play

Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups called pods, and they often join others from different pods to play games and have fun --- just like people. In fact, playing together is something only intelligent animals do.

Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both make plans to get something they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an interesting strategy （策略）to get food.
