1．Unbelievable Stories of Animals Acting Just Like Humans ◆Horses are picky eaters
Horses have an even better sense of smell than humans do.When horses raise their noses and open their nostrils（鼻孔） ，their nervous system allows them to sense smells we can't sense.This might explain why they refuse dirty water and carefully move around meadows，eating only the tastiest grasses，experts say.
◆Whale says thanks
In 2011，a whale expert spotted a humpback whale trapped in a fishing net and spent an hour freeing it.Afterward，in an hour-long display of thanks，the whale swam near their boat and leaped into the air about 40 times.
◆Pandas like to be naughty
Is there anything more lovely than a baby panda，except maybe a human baby？In fact，baby pandas sometimes behave like human babies.They sleep in the same positions and value their thumbs.Pandas are shy by nature for its shy behaviors such as covering its face with a paw of ducking its head when confronted by a stranger.
◆A cat honors its owner
Paper towels，and a plastic cup are just a few of the gifts that Toldo，a devoted three-year-old gray-and-white cat，has placed on his former owner Iozzelli Renzo's grave every day since the man died in September 2011.Renzo adopted Toldo from a shelter when the cat was three months old，and the two formed an inseparable bond.After Renzo passed away，Toldo followed the coffin to the cemetery，and now "stands guard" at the grave for hours at a time.

3．In spring 2016，Liza Goldberg asked scientists at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center if she could do research jye.ai.There was a problem，though.She was just 14 years old，and NASA's internship（實習） program only accepts students starting at age 16.
David Lagomasino and Temilola Fatoyinbo are NASA satellite experts.They saw Liza's request.In it，she talked about how she had studied trees in her own backyard to learn about climate change.The two NASA scientists were impressed. "This girl sounds great，'' Lagomasino remembers saying. "Let's bring her in." They made a special role for her outside the internship program.
Lagomasino and Fatoyinbo thought Liza could help them use satellite data to map mangroves（紅樹林），a small tree that grows in muddy forests on the coastlines of many tropical（熱帶的） countries.Mangoves are very important as they store huge amounts of carbon，which makes them helpful for fighting global warming.They are also home to fish that millions of people depend on for food.
Less than two years later，Liza has developed what might be the world's first satellite-basedsystem to determine where mangroves are in trouble.The work uses data from four satellites. It covers mangrove growth and loss，rainfall，agriculture and city growth.
Lagomasino and Fatoyinbo brought Liza in during the summer before she started high school.The teen had seen mangroves only once before，during a trip to Fort Myers，F(xiàn)lorida.Soon，she would see many more，at least on her computer screen.
Liza learned that half of the world's mangroves had disappeared.She was shocked and motivated to do something.I wanted to create some kind of solution，she said.She would even work during school breaks or at home on her projects.Liza's hard work is starting to pay off.Already，environmental groups are eager to use her system to make their work more effective.
Now that she has turned 16，Liza has finally joined NASA's official internship program.
