Amanda was really excited because her Daddy was going to take her to see the baby turtles hatch(孵化、出壳) out on the beach.
So, Amanda and her father got up when it was still dark, took their torches, and carefully made their way to the beach. Amanda didn’t really know what the turtles hatch would be like, but her elder brother had told her that the turtles are born on the beach just a few meters from the waters edge.
Amanda and her Daddy sat on the beach and waited quietly. Suddenly the first baby turtle appeared. It was so tiny and moved slowly towards the sea, without waiting for either its brothers or sisters or mother. Gradually, more and more baby turtles appeared, and all ran towards the water.
But suddenly some birds arrived, and they started eating some of the little turtles. Amanda kept looking everywhere to see whether Daddy Turtle would turn up to give those birds a good lesson. But he never came.
Amanda was watching all this with tears in her eyes, and when the first group of baby turtles finally reached the water safely, she gave out a little cry of happiness. Even though the birds ate quite a few little turtles, in the end many more reached the sea. Amanda was very pleased.
On their way home, her father told her more about turtles. When the baby turtles hatch out, they have to try to reach the sea on their own. That’s why so many are born, because lots of them get eaten by other animals, and not only on the sand, also in the water. The few turtles who manage to become adults can live for many, many years.
Amanda was really glad to learn so much about the turtles that night. But as they continued home, all she could think of was how happy she was to have a family. Her parents and her brothers and sister had helped her and cared for her so much right from the day she was born.

In many countries, governments advise people to buy electric cars and tell them that driving an electric car is good for the environment. But is it true
The University of Minnesota recently studied the waste from different cars. The scientists found that sometimes, electric cars are more harmful than petrol (汽油) cars.
Surprising Well, please pay attention to the word “sometimes”. Electric cars should be clean. The problem lies in the power. If the power comes from wind or solar energy, electric cars will cause little pollution. However, if the power comes from coal, they will be very harmful. According to the study, pollution caused by these cars kill about 3,000 people a year. Pollution caused by petrol cars only leads to 880 deaths a year.
In fact, sales people are not lying when they say electric cars are clean. However, they are right only when the power is also clean.
So how clean electric cars are depends on where people drive them. In France, more than half of the power comes from nuclear stations. Driving electric cars is good for the environment. In some other counties, however, power still mainly comes from coal. India, for example, depends on coal for 61% of its power. Only 2% of its power comes from nuclear energy. In countries like India, electric cars are not clean at all! They should prepare clean power for their electric cars.

A. Nowadays electric cars are not always clean.
B. The power of most cars in France comes from nuclear stations.
