Scientists are trying to make the deserts (沙漠) into good land again. They want to bring water into deserts, so people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more of the Earth are becoming deserts all the time. Scientists may not be able to change deserts in time.
Why is more and more land becoming deserts Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the Earth.

VI. Read and answer the questions
Since I was young, my mother has always spent lots of time sitting behind a sewing machine (缝纫机) with a happy look on her face. For all the three kids in our family, she has made all the clothes.
My mother makes it look so easy, but the first time I tried to make something, I just couldn’t do it. I worked too quickly, and when I finished, it looked bad. Soon, I just gave up.
This summer, I really wanted to make a dress to wear at a party. I picked out some nice cloth, and I found a nice style in a book. I got so excited about sewing that I couldn’t even sleep.
I started early the next morning. My mother was at a meeting, so if I had questions, there could be no one to ask.
I started sewing slowly and carefully, and I tried to do everything right. When I was sewing the top, I made the neck too small. But the rest was fine.
“ I finally made it!” I shouted two hours later, And it fit! For the first time, I could wear something I had made with my own hands!
If you want to learn something, my advice is: “Don’t give up when you can’t do it well. Start with something easy, and try your best.”
