Dinosaurs weren’t the only animals that lived millions of years ago. Other creatures also lived on Earth. But then a huge planet hit the Earth. Dust from the explosion( 爆 炸) filled the air, forming cold and dark environment for living things for a long time. Green plants died, so animals could not find food. Most of the dinosaurs died out, but some fish and birds were still alive. One of them
was a large fish called a sturgeon.
Most sturgeons live in rivers and lakes. They are bottom-feeders. They eat small living things that live in the sand and earth. Even in the very cold weather,
sturgeons can find food. In this way, they have lived on for millions of years.
The past 100 years have brought a new challenge for these fish. People around the world like to eat delicious eggs of some fish. These eggs are called caviar. The most popular kind of caviar is sturgeon eggs. Since people ate
millions of sturgeon eggs, few babies were born.

There was magic in the secret garden that spring and summer. At first, everything turned green. Then the green changed to colours—blue, purple and red. There were flowers
everywhere.
Dickon and Mary’s seeds（种子）grew and the roses—the roses! From small buds they
grew into large flowers and filled the air with their perfume.
Colin saw it all. He watched the changes as they happened. Dickon pushed his wheelchair to the garden every morning and he spent the day there. Sometimes Colin sat on the grass watching the insects. One day, he watched a mole（鼹鼠）digging a hole. He learnt a lot of things about the ways of these insects
and animals. And Dickon taught him about the animals in the wood.
One morning, the children were in the secret garden as usual. When Ben Weatherstaff arrived, Colin said, “Good morning, Ben Weatherstaff. I want you and Dickon and Mary to listen to me because I’m going to tell you
something very important.”
“Yes, sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff.
“I’m going to do a scientific experiment （科学实验 ） ,” he said. “When I grow up, I’m going to make
scientific discoveries about magic and I’m going to start with this experiment. Do you understand ”

“I believe that there is magic in everything.” continued Colin. “Dickon knows some magic. He charms animals and people. Mary also knows a bit of magic because she was born in India.

And you must all say it, too. That is my experiment. Are you going to help, Ben Weatherstaff ”
“Yes, sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff.
They sat down in a circle. The crow, the fox, the squirrels and the lamb were very curious. “Now, let’s begin,” Colin said, and they all started chanting（吟唱）.
“Magic is in me. Magic is in me. Magic is in all of us.”
Then Colin stood up and walked round the garden. He went in front with Dickon on one side and Mary on
the other. Ben Weatherstaff walked behind.
Colin walked a bit then rested. Then he walked again and rested again. At first, he held Dickon’s arm, then he
walked a few steps alone.
“I can walk! The magic worked!” he cried.
“What is the doctor going to say ” asked Mary.
“Nothing.” Colin answered, “because we aren’t going to tell him. No one must know that I can walk and run.
It’s a surprise for my father when he comes back to Misselthwaite.”

you ever dreamed of living and working in space like them 31
They brush their teeth, go to the bathroom and wash their hair. 32 They wash their hair by using the no-rinse shampoo（免洗洗发剂）to get it clean because there are no real showers in the spaceship.
Astronauts eat three meals a day. But how much they eat depends on themselves. A small woman astronaut often needs only about 1,900 calories a day, while a big man requires about 3,200 calories. So there are many
kinds of foods ready, such as fruit, nuts, chicken, beef and seafood. 33
Astronauts can have much fun, too. They look out of the window, enjoying the wonderful sunsets and sunrises which happen every 45 minutes. 34 Believe it or not, astronauts can even spend weekends,
when they can watch movies, listen to music, read books and talk to their families.
35 Just like on Earth, an astronaut goes to bed at a certain time. But there are a few differences. Astronauts have to sleep in sleeping bags. Normally, astronauts are planned to have eight hours of sleep. Like on
Earth, they may wake up in the middle of their sleep to use the toilet.
A. They can also drink tea or coffee. B. In fact, they do many things as we do on Earth. C. They, like most of us, sometimes feel a little stressed. D. However, they take care of themselves in different ways. E. After a long day’s work, nothing is better than a good night’s sleep. F. Very often, they play with their food or even play jokes on their workmates.

In order to make a bookmark, I prepared a card,scissors, glue and so on. First, I cut the card into long strips. And then l drew a picture of a monkey on the left and wrote a famous saying “Nothing is impossible if you put your heart into it.” on the right to encourage me not to give up when facing difficulties.At last, I glued it to a thin piece of wood.
Although I met some difficulties in this process, I never gave up and I am proud of myself.
