Look at the light and beautiful snowflakes (雪花) falling. Ever wanted to hold them in your hands? They are always lost when they meet your hands. Well, this isn’t just a problem for you. It was a problem for Wilson Bentley, too.

In the 1870s, Wilson Bentley was just a teenager. His family lived in a small town in northeast America. Winters there were long and hard. Bentley’s mother was once a school teacher. She taught him at home. Bentley didn’t go to school until he was 14. He was a quiet boy, and loved reading his mother’s books. But it was his mother’s microscope (显微镜) that interested him. When the other boys were playing with balls, little Bentley was studying things like drops of water, flowers and snowflakes. Bentley loved watching snowflakes. For the next two years young Bentley spent many winter days in a cold room watching these ice crystals (晶体) under his microscope.

The boy thought they were so beautiful that he started to draw pictures of them. But there were so many snowflakes that he couldn’t draw them all. How could he keep their beauty forever? Bentley thought of buying a camera. The boy and his mother asked his father to buy one. But, his father didn’t agree. He thought the whole thing was a bad idea. He thought the only thing a farmer should do was farming. But finally Bentley did get a camera. For more than a year he tried to take pictures of

snowflakes. On January 15, 1885, during a snowstorm, Bentley took the first ever photo of an ice crystal with his camera. “It was the greatest moment of my life,” Bentley said later.

For 13 years, Bentley worked quietly and took thousands of photos of ice crystals. Later he became known as “Snowflake” Bentley.

A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.

Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn’t built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.

Even so, travel isn’t difficult. The waterways have always been the best ways to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery and cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.

Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war more than 1,500 years ago, and built homes there.

Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem.

Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt (融化

Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.

Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower.

Last week, I took a group of French holiday-makers for a week’s trip to Taiwan. We traveled all around the island. There are a lot of places of interest. My favorite is Sun Moon Lake. You may ask why people call it so. If you fly high up over the lake and look down from your plane, you will find the answer yourself. In the middle of this lake, there is a small island that is called Pearl Island because it looks like a pearl. On one side of Pearl Island the lake looks like a sun, and on the other side it looks like a moon. That is why people call it the Sun Moon Lake.

There are many mountains around this lake. One of the nearest is Mount Ali. We stayed there for three days. We also had a dancing party with Gaoshan people. On our first day there we went to the mountain and watched the sun going down slowly in the west. On our last day we got up early and saw the beautiful sunrise(日出).

Taiwan is a wonderful place which is known for beautiful scenery.

Reading for pleasure is the easiest way to become a better reader in English. It is also the most important way. Some students say they do not want to read for pleasure. They say they want to use their time to learn the rules of the language and new words. They say that pleasure reading is too easy.

Many experts say pleasure reading is very important for learning English. Dr Stephen Krashen, a famous expert on learning languages, says that pleasure reading helps you learn many important things about English. Students learn more grammar and more words when they read for pleasure. They also learn more about good writing.

Dr Krashen tells us that pleasure reading helps each student in a different way. Each student needs to learn something different. Pleasure reading makes it possible for each student to learn what he or she needs.

Reading for pleasure is not the same as studying. When you read for pleasure ,you choose your own books ,and you do not have to remember everything. There are no tests on your pleasure reading books. Pleasure reading will help you:

.Learn how English speakers use English.

.Read faster in English.

.Find examples of good writing in English. .Learn new words.

.Learn about the culture of English speakers.

The Stanley Steamer

The Stanley brothers were twins. They looked the same. They always wore the same clothes. The brothers sometimes thought in the same way,too. In 1896,the brothers went to a show. They saw a car. It was driven with steam(蒸汽)“We can make a better car than that.”they said. The Stanley brothers built their steam car in 1897. On the car,a small fire made the water boil. When the water boiled, steam was made. The steam from the water made the machine and the car move. The Stanley brothers also used a train whistle on the steam car. The Stanley Steamer could go fast, but it could not start fast. Drivers had to wait for the water to boil.

Later, gasoline(汽油) cars were built. At first gasoline cars were not easy to start,either. Then a starter was made to start the car. Then the driver could start his gasoline car easily. They did not have to leave their seats. People stopped buying steam cars.If you want to see a Stanley Steamer now, you have to go to a museum.

There is air all around. So air is everywhere and it gives life to every living thing. Without it we cannot live. Bad air makes people ill. We must have fresh air to keep us in good health.

In the city there are many people and there are too many cars on the road. The gas which the cars send out is full of poison (有毒物质). Every day we breather it in again and again. This makes us feel sick.

Besides the cars, there are many factories too. From the chimneys (烟囱) of these factories, we get dense (浓的) smoke usually black and gray in colour. This kind of smoke, when mixed with air, is dangerous to our health because it has many poisonous things. So in order to keep ourselves healthy we should go out to the countryside to breathe more fresh air.

The City on the Sea

A city without cars would be very strange, right? Venice is such a city.

Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It isn’t built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.

Even so, travel isn’t difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can take you where you want to go.

People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They talk to other people as they go along.

Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war more than 1,500 years ago, and built homes there.

Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem.

Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower, little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimetres.

Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is under water.

Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made arctic(北极的) ice melt(融化).

Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower.
