It's often said that you cannot“teach an old dog new tricks”，but either these three New Zealand dogs
have never heard of the idiom or have decided to prove otherwise by learning a skill—driving a car!
What's even more impressive is that the three dogs have become excellent in just eight short weeks.To
get their training started，10－month－old Porter，18－month－old Monty and one－year－old Ginny
were chosen from seven dogs and sent to Animal Q，a talent agency that specializes(专攻)in teaching
animals tricks for movies and television shows.
The two－month driving classes that were watched by trainer Marke Vette began with teaching the
dogs some basic driving techniques like turning the steering wheels.After that the dogs practiced everything
they had learned.And then finally，it was time for the big test—driving a real car!
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂In order to take into account that human cars are not really built for four－legged animals，the Mini
they drove was improved so that the dogs could sit comfortably and easily reach the steering wheel with
their paws.A long bar attached to the accelerator(油门)and brake made sure they were able to stop and go.
Though they all seemed to do very well，the real test came on Monday night when Monty，the best
driver of the three，showed his courage on live television without human help.And，he passed with flying
colors!
It is hoped that these three pioneers will land their names in the Guinness World Records as the
world's“First Driving Dogs”—a category that probably does not even exist today!

Old tennis balls are being used in an unusual way to help us learn more about one of the

Harvest mice are only about 2 inches(5cm)long.This spring and summer，wildlife
experts are encouraging people to report sightings of harvest mice so that records can be built
up about numbers and locations can be made.
Meadows and grassland are animals' traditional homes but as farming methods change
over time，the habitats are being lost and numbers are thought to be declining．
Old tennis balls，complete with penny－sized holes，make a strong and popular choice
of home for the mice and around 200 are available for surveyors to distribute and monitor，
after being donated by a local tennis club.
The project，supported by the Leicestershire County Council，is thought to be the
biggest of its kind ever run in Leicestershire.
County Council wildlife expert，Helen O'Brien，said，“Little is known about the
creatures'present situation locally so we need people to look in tall grass and fields and send
in their information.The information will help us track numbers and tell us where we need to
focus our attention to safeguard(保障)their future.”
Anyone interested in getting involved(参与)，can pick up tips and learn more about
harvest mice on a training day.This is taking place between 7：30 p．m.and 9：30 p．m.on
Monday，14th June at the County Council's Environmental Resource Centre in
