South of Florida，there are a lot of islands in the ocean. One of them is Hispaniola. Two countries share this island. Haiti makes up the western third. The Dominican Republic makes up the eastern two thirds.
The Dominican Republic has an area of about 18，000 square miles and a population of about 8 million. Most of these people live close to the island's coast. Most of the cities are there and so is the best farmland. Sugar sticks have been the island's most important crop for hundreds of years. Cattle are kept in the mountainous area.
Like many other tropical islands，tourism is a very important industry for the Dominican Republic. The coastal cities depend on tourists to fill their hotels and restaurants. The natural beauty of the beaches and forests attract tourists from home and abroad.
In the cities and towns there are many artists and craftspeople selling their works. If you like parades and costumes，go in February for Carnival. You will see people dancing and wearing colourful masks. Whether you want to join the crowds or get away from them，there is a place for you in the Dominican Republic.

Fraser Island is in Queensland, Australia, about 200 kilometers north of Brisbane. It is about 120 kilometers long and 240 kilometers wide. It is a very important island because it is completely made of sand. In fact, it is the largest sand island in the world. There is no airport on the island, but there is a long beach along the east coast. Planes arrive and leave from here.
The sand makes unusual shapes. There are hills made of sand called sandblows. Nothing grows on them. They move one or two meters a year from the northwest towards the southeast of the island, getting bigger and bigger. At other places on the island, such as Rainbow Gorge, The Cathedrals and Red Canyon, the sandy rocks have different colors. Sometimes the rocks are so brown that they turn the sea brown, like coffee.
Surprisingly, the sandy island has a lot of different plants and animals. There are dark forests-eucalyptus woods, beautiful flowers and over a hundred lakes. There are many kinds of birds, like owls and curlews. There are many animals there, too, such as crocodiles, flying foxes and wild dogs called dingoes.
About 500,000 people visit the island every year to see the island's beauty and nature. People enjoy camping and hiking(徒步) there. Unluckily, the visitors create problems. They damage plants and frighten animals. Their sun cream (防晒霜) makes the water dirty. So it is necessary to manage the visitors. For example, people may not use motor boats or go fishing in the lakes, and they need official papers to drive there.

The long trunk of an elephant is a wonderful example of skill. The neck of four footed animals is usually long, to have them reach their food without difficulty, but the elephant has a short neck, to make him more easily support the weight of his huge head and heavy teeth. His long trunk lets him get his food easily.
The trunk of an elephant is to him what the neck is to other animals. It is also a nose to him, for at the end of it there is an empty place like a cup, and in the bottom of the cup are two holes, and the animal smells and breathes through them. It is an arm and a hand too, so that it has been said that the elephant carries his nose in his hand, and it might also have been said that he breathes by his hand.
At the end of the trunk, there is a strange part, about five inches long, which forms a finger. With this finger the animal can pick up the smallest piece of money from the ground, and he has been taught to make marks like letters with a pen.
The trunk of a full grown elephant is about eight feet long. The elephant has such great strength that he can knock down a man with it.
