There are all kinds of animals on our planet. Some are sweet, but some are not; some are small, and some are tall. Here are four pictures of some of the funniest, friendliest faces. But remember, although they look nice, it doesn't mean they are always friendly.
Not all dogs are so cute, but most of them are pretty friendly. When you come near an unfamiliar(不熟悉的) dog, remember to hold out your hand, so he can smell you and see that you mean no harm.
Cows love to eat grass, and they eat quite a lot! You needn't be afraid of this quiet farm animal. But don't run at a cow in a field or touch one, unless you are told by an adult it's okay.
Horses are big, beautiful animals, but they can be easily angry. A horse might jump up if she hears a loud noise, or kick her legs if you come near too suddenly. All horses, like humans, are different.
Chimpanzees(黑猩猩) make funny faces and put on a real show at the zoo, but believe it or not, they can be very dangerous. And they are strong too--much stronger than humans--so you should never make a chimp mad!
Here is some cool information about the world's population(人口) .
It took 12 years for the world's population to grow from 7 billion to2022's 8 billion. But it will take about 15 years for the population to reach 9billion. That's because fewer babies are born now. In 50 years, this can slow the growth of the world's population. | |
The day on which the world's population grows by one billion is important. The United Nations chooses a baby born on that day as the symbolic (象征的) baby. For example, the world's population reached 8billion on November 15,2022. Vinice Mabansag was born on that day and she became the symbolic 8 billionth baby. | |
More boys than girls are born around the world. There are 106 baby boys born for every 100 baby girls. There are 1. 8 billion people between the ages of 10 and 24. That's the largest number ever (有史以来). |
