Dogs may help save the day in the Philippines,as they use their noses to smell out survivors buried by Friday's mudslide (泥石流).The team of dogs arrived in the Philippines from Spain,and this Tuesday they were just beginning their work.Search officials told CNN they hope the recent rain will wash away the smell of rescue teams so the dogs can do their job more accurately.
The dogs were brought in after sound equipment found sounds coming from deep inside the ruins,at a place where a school stood before the mudslide covered it.The sounds could mean people are still alive under all the mud or it could just be the earth resettling.
On Monday,rescue workers worked at the school site until three in the morning,trying to locate survivors,and they will begin digging again as soon as the dogs think they find someone.
Human teams from the US,Malaysia,and Australia are all trying to help,too.But so far they have yet to locate any survivors.Rescue workers told CNN that an earlier report that 50 survivors had been found was false.
How did all that mud bury the village in the first place?On Friday,2,400-foot Mt Kanabag turned into a mudslide after two weeks of constant rain weakened it.The mountain crumbled and the mud fell onto the village Guinsaugon,burying the 1,800 people who lived there.Out of the 300 houses in the village,only 3 were not covered by the mud.The village is on a southern Philippine Island called Levte.Rescue efforts have been difficult because the village takes six hours to reach from the nearest airport.Hopefully,the dogs can help their human friends find survivors.

2.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
