27、ooked up, mum nodded and said, “Very dirty floors.“Yes. Im glad theyve finally decided to clean them,“ the nurse said.

Sometimes, however, two kinds of a
33、nimals come together in a partnership (伙伴关系) which is good for both of them. You may see some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫) on sheep. The sheep allow the lairds to do so because they move the cause of
34、 discomfort. So although they can live without each other, they do better together.Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners can not live without each other. This is so in the corals (珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins there are tiny plants which act as “d
35、ustmen“, taking some of the waste products from the corals and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe.

Wearing soft pajamas and with Tom, my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all.I named Tom after my uncle when I
39、compared Toms long arms and legs to his. One night I ran up to Uncle Tom at a family party and told him I had named my monkey after him. His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, then a chuckle (咯咯笑) escaped his lips. I guessed he didnt understand how important it was to me.Even if Uncle Tom didnt think m
40、y monkey was special, I certainly did. I dressed him in a white baby nightgown. My mother thought that Tom was the hest-dressed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne (科隆香水) I used on him years ago made him still smell “pretty“.For a long time,
41、Tom went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, and I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bears and dolls. I begged him to understand why I
42、was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk to him again.It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Tom.
