The world is full of secrets. Many people are interested in them. Do you know that one of the greatest presidents of the USA spent hours and hours studying birds? A businessman near New York City became so interested in insects that he began to collect them. He now has over one thousand different kinds of them. He keeps them carefully in glass boxes.
Now come with me, and I will help you find some of nature’s secrets. Let us go quietly through the forests and fields. Here we shall find how a hare talks to the other hares. We shall follow a mother bear and her baby to find how they look for food and get ready for their long winter sleep. We shall watch bees dancing in the air to tell the other bees where they can find food. I will show you many other interesting things, but the best thing I can teach you is to keep your eyes and ears open when you go outdoors. Nature tells secrets to people only when they look and listen carefully.

If a man in a spaceship looked down at the Earth, he would see water. He might think that the Earth was one large ocean with little land. Nearly seven-tenths of the Earth is water. One ocean, the Pacific (太平洋), has an area of 63 million square miles.
Many years ago people thought that the land under all the water was flat (平的). Now they know that this is not true. There are also many mountains under the sea.

Simon Walker wrote a book “The Crying Seas”. It is for children. It is about the seas. It tells us about different kinds of water pollution and the things we can do to keep the seas clean. It also tells us about the different ways we can save water, in this book, Simon Walker said, “Three quarters of the Earth is water. For thousands of years, the seas have helped us by giving us food and water. Now, we are feeding them dirty water from factories and rubbish from our homes. Now, the seas are crying because they are very sick. Please help to save them.” You can see many wonderful photographs of the seas in this book.

At work, farmers use water to water the crops and vegetables. Cooks use water to cook food. Firemen use water to put out fires. If there is no rain, we’ll have no water to drink and the crops and vegetables will die.
Water is a source of life. We should protect and save water!
