During the Christmas season, people sing songs to celebrate the festival. These songs are called "carols (颂歌)". Maybe you can name some famous carols like "Jingle Bells" and "Silent Night". They bring a lot of joy to everyone at Christmas. A Christmas carol is about the themes (主题) of Christmas, or the winter season in general. People sing carols in the period before and during Christmas. The tradition of Christmas carols dates back to the 13th century in Europe. Today carols are regularly sung at religious (宗教的) services in churches (教堂). Traditional carols have a strong tune (音调) and have a chorus (合唱) for group singing. The music sounds peaceful and calm, and they give people good thoughts about holidays, good food and gifts. In places like England, groups of singers travel from door to door in neighbourhoods, singing carols. They are often given small rewards like money, pies or a glass of good drink. The money collected in this way is often given to help poor people. In Australia, where Christmas is in the summer, people like to sing carols at candlelight (烛光) concerts. The concerts are held outdoors at night in cities and towns during the weeks leading up to Christmas. People sing and celebrate Christmas holding lit candles in their hands.

Dinosaurs (恐龙) once lived happily on the earth. ⑴但是6500万年以前，他们突然消亡了。 What happened to them
Some American scientists say it is because there were not enough male (雄性的) dinosaurs. They got this idea after researching crocodiles (鳄鱼).
Female (雌性的) crocodiles lay eggs and later baby crocodiles come out.⑵Scientists have found that where the eggs are laid is very important. When the eggs are in a temperature of 26℃ to 30℃, the babies are all girls; when the temperature is 30℃ to 34℃, there are both boys and girls; when it is 34℃ to 36℃, only boys are born. ⑶The temperature decides the sex of a baby crocodile.
⑷恐龙与鳄鱼相似。 Their babies also came from eggs. So scientists have given us a new picture: millions of years ago, when an Ice Age came, it suddenly became very cold. Almost all dinosaur babies turned out to be girls. There were less and less male dinosaurs. ⑸Female dinosaurs could not give birth to more babies. Finally, the powerful animals died out.
