I like a friend .
Do you like camels? Perhaps, they are not so beautiful. But if you are walking in the hot land of North Africa, and the Middle East camels can be very useful. They are called the ship of the desert.
Camels can live for about 40 years old, but they usually stop working at the age of 25.
Camels don't like running, because it is too hot. But if you want them to run, they can run 20 kilometers an hour. The dromedary(单峰骆驼) or the Arabian camel, has longer hair and one hump(驼峰). There are about l4 million camels in the world, and most of them are dromedaries.
An adult(成年的) camel is about 2.1 meters tall, and it can walk for more than 600 kilometers without drinking. They only need to drink water every six or eight hours. But if there is water, they can drink up to 90 liters.
提示:1) 旅途愉快,平安到家。
2) 爸爸妈妈在机场迎接,很高兴。
3) 感谢珍妮及其家人的照顾并邀请珍妮及其家人到中国来玩。
Dear Jenny,
How are you?
Yours,
Li Ming
— Well, I will, Dad.
Look up in the sky. Do you see any clouds? What do they look like? Some clouds are fluffy(绒毛状的) and white, like cotton balls. Others are dark almost black, and make you hold an umbrella. At sunrise and sunset, clouds can look red, purple, or yellow—as if they were colored with crayons. But what are clouds anyway?
You can't reach out and touch the clouds, but you can make your own in a bottle.
You need
* an adult helper
* a huge, empty glass jar
* a metal strainer(过滤器)
* hot water
* ice
Do these
Step1. Have your helper fill the jar with hot water, leave it there for two minutes, then pour out most of the water. Leaving just an inch or two at the bottom of the jar.
Step2. It's your turn, put the strainer over the mouth of the jar, fill the strainer with ice. Watch the jar.
What happened?
A cloud formed in the jar! Some of the hot water at the bottom of the jar turned into hot water vapor(蒸汽). The water vapor rose and met with the cold air coming off the ice. When the water vapor condensed, it formed a cloud. Hot air rises and carries with it lots of water vapor, the higher the air rises, the more it cools down. Soon the cold air can't hold all the water vapor so it starts turning into tiny water drops, and becomes a cloud.
Mr. and Mrs. Green had different ideas about where to go last weekend. Mrs. Green wanted to go to Florida to see her sister, but Mr. Green didn't like to go there. He wanted to go to Maine. "Maine is a little cold," said Mrs. Green, "I like swimming, but the water in Maine is usually not warm enough."
"Florida is too far," said Mr. Green, "We don't have enough time to drive there. It'll take us more than two days."
Just then, the telephone rang. Mr. Green answered the phone. It was Mr. Green's mother. "Is that Jim? Please come in the shortest time. I need help. I'm calling from the hospital in Boston."
They stopped their talking, and in no time they both went.
—No. He's at home _____ he is ill.
