Last week, I watched a Hollywood movie with my sister, Sarah. In the film, a British soldier travels for days in a desert. When he rests at night under the stars, he covers himself with a blanket(毯子). As we watched this scene, Sarah asked,“ 38 Isn't it hot in the desert ”
Do you have the same question as Sarah We all know the desert is very hot during the daytime. But do you know it can be surprisingly cold at night And why does the temperature change so greatly there
The desert is full of sand. Sand doesn't absorb(吸收) water very well. 39 When the sun heats the sand, the sand acts like a mirror. It heats the air above the ground through the process of heat radiation(放射). Therefore, people feel very hot in the desert during the daytime.
40 It's very good at absorbing heat. In the mountains, the air is humid(湿润的) at night. When the ground loses heat through radiation, the water in the air holds the heat. Since the air above the ground keeps the heat, the places in the mountains don't get too cold at night.
In the desert, however, the story is quite different. The air there is dry. When the sun sets,the air above the ground can't hold the heat radiating from the ground. 41
So if you ever have a chance to spend a night in the desert, don't forget to take a thick blanket.
A. Water is different from sand.
B. Why does he need a blanket
C. These places won't get as hot as a desert.
D. Sand is not good at. absorbing heat, either.
E. As a result, the ground loses heat easily and the temperature drops greatly at night.

When giving gifts, sometimes color is important. For example, for many Chinese people around the world, red is a lucky color, and people often like to wrap gifts in this color. However,do you know that in Korea, red is a color of death That is why you should not wrap gifts in this color if you are giving a gift to a Korean person.
What about western countries In western countries, the color of wrapping paper is not really important. But color does matter when giving flowers, especially roses.

Like other teenagers,I love my parents. But something awful happened between usa month ago. That day, I asked my parents for money to buy a pair of expensive shoes, because some of my classmates wore such shoes. But to my surprise, my parents disagreed. In their opinion,teenagers should not be allowed to spend too much money on clothes or shoes. I felt so mad that I shouted at them. I entered my bedroom angrily and cried out.
After calming down, I realized my mistake. Then I expressed my regret and apologized to my parents. They hugged me and said they loved me. They wanted me not only to pay much attention to my study, but also to hold correct values.
From this experience, I learned that we children should respect our parents. When they disagree with us, we should listen to their explanations patiently instead of losing our temper.
