My school life

    I am in a junior high school now.

    What about yours?

    A long time ago, people thought that the Sun went round the Earth. In some countries people even said that the Sun was a god (神). They thought the god drove across the sky each day on a golden horse. Now we know the Earth goes round the Sun. It takes the Earth a year to go all way round the Sun. Today men even know how far it is for the Earth to go round the Sun. They tell us that the Earth travels over a thousand miles a minute on its journey round the Sun.

    The Sun is really a star. It is much bigger than the Earth and it is very hot. Some people have been to the Moon but we know that no one can ever go to the Sun. It is far too hot for people to live anywhere near it. The Sun is about three hundred thousand times heavier than the Earth and more than a million times larger.

    The Earth is about 4, 600 million years old Man lives on the Earth for only 35, 000 years. But we change our Earth in many ways. Many things we do are good, but some are not good for the Earth.

    Water pollution

    A lot of people, birds and fish die each day because of water pollution. Factories pollute the water. As a result (因此), the water in many rivers and lakes is now very dirty.

    Air pollution

    In big cities, factories, cars and buses are the main causes of air pollution. Many people in cities now have health problems. For example, Mexico City used to be a beautiful sunny capital, but today there are many clouds in the sky. And many people get ill because of the polluted air.

    Soil (土壤) pollution

    In order to have a better harvest (收获), some of the farmers use chemicals too much in their fields. That's bad for the soil.

    Hope for the future

    These problems are very serious for our future, so all of us should do something to protect the environment. If we can stop pollution, our Earth will become more and more beautiful.

    One day, a monster (怪兽) from outer space attacks (攻击) Earth. It even beats Superman. 1 world leaders call on people to make a super robot to drive the monster away.

    McDull is an ordinary (寻常的) piglet growing 2 in a fishing village. His 3 is to be an inventor(发明家). He wants to 4 the Earth. What can he do?

    Finally, McDull gets a good 5. He makes 6 rice cooker (电饭煲) into a 7 and calls it Rizo. Everyone in the 8 helps to make it. The robot wins the competition!

    Now, the task of saving the 9 falls on McDull and Rizo. Will they be able to do it? Go and 10 the movie McDull, Rise of the Rice Cooker (《麦兜：饭宝奇兵》).
