Russian scientists chose dogs as the most suitable animal to send into space because they felt that dogs would be able to endure the long periods of inactivity better than other animals. When they first started sending dogs into space, they took small unwanted dogs from the streets of Moscow and sent them to research centres where they were trained to stand still for long periods and also to wear pressurized suits and helmets. During the year 1951-1952, nine dogs made successful high altitude flights and three of them flew two missions.

1 Clearly the desert is on the move. This is the process experts call desertification.
2 Too many wells are dug. Moreover, there is not enough water or rain to fill reservoirs.
3 The soil dries out and is then blown away.As a result, the grazing land is destroyed.
4 Ultimately, it’s not only the farmers and villagers who suffer.
5 The fact is, a great deal of work is already under way.
6 The lesson to be learnt lies beneath the sand. For example, more than three hundred ancient cities were swallowed up by the desert hundreds of years ago.

1 The flood happened in Boscastle, a small village in the wast of England.
2 Yes. Many houses were severely damaged.
3 No, nobody was killed.
4 Because it stands in a deep valley where two rivers meet, and a third river also flows through the village. Moreover, the surrounding hills are rocky and there was nowhere for the water to go.

2 Harry slowly realizes that he too is a wizard with magic powers.
3 The problem is that he cannot really use these powers in the world of the humans.
4 Perhaps many children feel that they themselves are special.
5 And there is another part of Harry’s story, the traditional boarding school.
6 The school seems to have been left behind in the 1930s.
