How bloody a scene! Blood Falls in Antarctica is a waterfall (瀑布) which shoots blood-red water into a river. The sight is a perfect background for a horror film: mysterious and of course bloody.

The Chihuahuan Desert in West Texas is larger than any other desert in North America. The winters there are cool and summers are very hot. This area is also home to a mysterious phenomenon (现象) called the Marfa Lights.
The Marfa Lights are bright lights that appear in the night sky all of a sudden and then fly to faraway places and disappear. They are about the size of basketballs and are often described as white, blue, yellow, red, or other colors. The lights sometimes even get close to people’s houses. One woman who lived on a farm told the story of what she experienced one night. She was in bed and suddenly she saw the lights shining through her bedroom window. She watched them change color for a few minutes. Finally, they went away. Pilots who used to train in the desert in the 1940s also reported that they once saw these mysterious lights.
What causes this phenomenon People have different opinions on this. A popular interpretation is the lights might have something to do with headlights from cars on the road nearby. Scientific research also suggests that some of the lights are caused by the refraction (折射) of light between layers (层) of air that have different temperatures. However, not all of them can be explained so easily.
Anyway, people will continue to study the lights to find out where they come from. No matter what these lights really are, they are as mysterious today as when they first appeared. But it is certain that the mystery behind them will be solved one day.

A Special Experience
Hello，I'm Li Ming. Today I want to share one of my special experiences with you.
A few months ago， I heard a strange noise outside the window of my bedroom every night. I thought there might be a person standing there. I asked my parents to see what it was. However， they found nothing. They thought it might be the wind.
I decided to look for the noise-maker. As soon as I heard the strange noise， I jumped out of my bed. Suddenly， I saw a black cat jumping up and down. It might want to make friends with my pet cat， but it couldn't get into my house.
Do you think it is strange？ Have you ever had this kind of experience in your life？
