Have you ever seen a streak of light(一道光)flash across the night sky You might call it a shooting star.Scientists call it a meteor. A meteor is something that falls through the earth's atmosphere (the air around the earth) and has a burning long tail. Usually, meteors are rocks that burn up (烧尽)as they fall.As they burn, the rocks shine brightly.
Most meteors burn up quickly in the atmosphere and never hit the ground. But if a meteor does fall down to the ground, it is called a meteorite(陨石). This doesn't happen very often but can one day bring the end of the world. The rocks that we see as meteors come from different places of space. Scientists call these rocks meteoroids(流星体). Like planets, meteoroids travel in space, but they are much smaller than planets. Most meteoroids travel very far from the earth and we don't see them.
However, some meteoroids can travel very close to us and get in the way of the earth. Gravity then pulls them through the earth's atmosphere, turning them into the meteors that you see in the night sky. The largest meteorite ever found in the United States isthe Willamette Meteorite. This rock got here thousands of years ago.Today, you can see the 15,500-kilogram meteorite at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. It has been on show there since 1906.

There are no less than 30 lakes named "West Lake" in China.But the West Lake in Hangzhou is the most famous of them all. It lies in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province on the southeastern coast. And the city is well known as a paradise in China.
Thousands of years ago, the West Lake was connected to the sea. The Qiantang River is not far away from the West Lake. It enters the sea in the eastern part of the area. The sediment(沉积物)settled by the river finally blocked the connection between the West Lake and the sea, making it an inland water area.
Since the 9th century A.D. the beautiful scenery(风景)of the West Lake in all seasons has appeared time and again in poems,stories and legends. It's roughly (粗略地) estimated (估计) that there are about 630 legends of the West Lake alone.

Love Our Beautiful Nature
These days. our nature is becoming more and more beautiful.
The government and people are doing many things to protect nature. Some factories are shut down. The government is gradually adopting various measures to protect the environment. As a middle school student, I also do a lot of small things to help protect nature in my daily life. For example, I often volunteer to clean the streets and water the trees and flowers in my neighbourhood. In addition.I try to take a bus or ride a bike to school to reduce environmental pollution.
I'm sure that our actions have a great influence on nature. Only through everybody's efforts can we have a beautiful home.
