Balloons and Airships
A modern balloon is an enormous bag made of nylon or plastic. The bag is filled with hot air or gas that is lighter than the air outside. This causes the balloon to rise. The pilot and passengers ride below in a basket, or gondola. They must go where the wind takes them.
An airship is a cigar-shaped, gas-filled balloon. It often has a stiff "skeleton" (metal framework) to hold its shape. This type is called a rigid airship. It floats like a balloon but is powered by engines with propellers that make it possible to steer in any direction.
The first big balloons were built in 1783 by the French brothers Joseph and Jacques Montgolfier. On November 21, two other Frenchmen sailed over Paris in a balloon – the first humans ever to "( 1 )." In 1785, Jean Pierre Blanchard, a Frenchman, and John Jeffries, an American, crossed the English Channel in a gas-filled balloon. Balloons were used in wars, including the American Civil War (1861-65), to spy on enemy troops or to carry messages. In the 20th-century world wars, unmanned balloons were used to get in the way of enemy bombers.
Modern balloons can go very ( 2 ) and stay up for a long time. They are used to explore the upper atmosphere and to look into space through on-board telescopes. Ballooning is also a popular sport. There are long-distance races, accuracy tests and chases. In 1999, Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones made the first nonstop balloon flight ( 3 ) the world. It took them just 19 days.
In 1852, Henry Giffard flew the first powered airship over Paris, steering it with a steam-powered propeller. In 1900, the first rigid airship was flown by a German ( 4 ) belonging to Ferdinand von Zeppelin. Inside these Zeppelins, as rigid airships are often called, was a metal framework that held hydrogen-filled bags. Zeppelins had gasoline engines to power their propellers. More than 100 of these rigid airships were built, but they were not the ( 5 ) aircraft. The future of aviation was with airplanes.

Dolphins
Many people say dolphins are very intelligent. They seem to be able to think, understand, and learn things quickly. But are they smart like humans or more like cats or dogs? Dolphins use their brains differently from people. But scientists say dolphin intelligence and human intelligence are alike in some ways. How?
Like humans, every dolphin has its own "name." The name is a special whistle. Each dolphin chooses a specific whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Actually, scientists think dolphins, like people, "talk" to each other about a lot of things, such as their age, their feelings, or finding food. And, like humans, dolphins use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. But understanding their conversations is not easy for humans. No one "speaks dolphin" yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.
Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups called pods, and they often join others from different pods to play games and have fun—just like people. In fact, playing together is something only intelligent animals do.
Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both make plans to get something they want. In the seas off southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an interesting strategy to get food. When fish are near a boat, dolphins signal to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. Using this method, the men can catch a lot of fish. What is the advantage for the dolphins? Why do they assist the men? The dolphins get to eat some of the fish.
