23、The skin is an essential part of your body and its largest organ. You have three layers (层) of skin which act as a barrier against disease, poisons and the sun’s harmful rays. The functions of your skin are also very complex: it keeps you warm or cool; it prevents your body from losing too much water; it is where you feel cold, heat or pain and it gives you your sense of touch. So as you can imagine, if your skin gets burned it can be very serious. First aid is a very important first step in the treatment of burns.
Causes of burns

• Second degree burns
These affect both the top and the second layer of the skin. These burns are serious and take a few weeks to heal. Examples include severe sunburn and burns caused by hot liquids.
• Third degree burns
These affect all three layers of the skin and any tissue and organs under the skin. Examples include burns caused by electric shocks, burning clothes, or severe petrol fires. These burns cause very severe injuries and the victim must go to hospital at once.

A heroic dog
Like most dogs whose homes are situated on large plots of land, one New Zealand dog regular went off exploring through the farmland around his home for hours at a time.
But as Louie, a sheepdog rescued from a shelter when he was just a puppy, got older, his trips got shorter and shorter. Now that Louie is 12 years old, he chooses to stay close to home and hardly ever goes out to explore any more, which is why his family was so worried when he recently disappeared and didn’t return home as usual.
“My mother was a little upset as he had stopped his wandering,” said Marolyn Diver, whose parents own Louie. “We were very concerned that he might forget where his home was.” But thankfully, Louie turned up at the house a few hours later. “He looked so tired and had basically just collapsed (崩溃),” Marolyn said. “We were concerned that someone might have hurt him. But then we realized there was a small note attached to Louie’s collar. After reading the note, I felt complete relief and relaxed, and then my heart melted.”
“Louie is the hero of the day, “read the note, which was written by a neighbor about a mile away.”He led me to Maddy in distress stuck under a pile of branches. Cheers, Rob.” “According to Rob, Louie was waiting for him at his house and demanded to be followed. Rob said that he was 100 percent sure that Louie knew what he was doing, and leading him to Maddy was his pure focus,“ Marolyn explained.
Paragraph 1:
Once Rob found Maddy, Louie helped him dig her out.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“That night we were very worried about Louie,” Marolyn said.
