It seems that many British people arebecoming interested in how good their food tastes and how quickly they can gettheir food.

However, eating out can also be expensive.Restaurants are even more expensive than pubs because pubs always provide lesscomfortable environment and serve simpler food, though just as delicious, AsBritish people do not dine out every night of the week, eating in a restaurantis often seen as a special occasion (场合) .

Naturally, restaurants are greatly different inquality and price. However, almost all British cities have many kinds of foodto choose from including traditional British food, and all from the very cheapto the very expensive—French. Italian, Indian, Greek, Thai, Japanese and many,many more. In fact, when asked what their favorite food is, more British peoplesay an Indian curry than any other dish!

As well as dining in a restaurant, when peopleare too tired to cook after work, they often get a" take—away". Thismeans that they order from a take—away restaurant by phone, and then go tocollect it and take it home to eat. And you can normally find a take—awayrestaurant for almost any cuisine. The most popular are Italian. Indian andChinese—and all you have to do is open the door, pay and eat!

1970 was “World Conservation(保护) Year”. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world is at risk(危险).They hoped that people would do something quickly to conserve nature.
Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1,300 plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only 860 are existing. The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology.
Here is another example. In 1620, about half the USA was covered by forests. In 1850, about a third was covered by forests. Today the forests have almost gone. A lot of good land has gone with them, leaving only sand. Today too many trees are still being cut down.
We're changing the earth, the air and water. We can't live without these things. If we go on like this, we shall destroy ourselves. A lot of people know that conservation is necessary. Many things have been done to save our world. For example, people plant more and more trees on the hills. In a small town in the USA a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometers of their river. Young people may hear about conservation through a record by the name of NO ONE'S GOING TO CHANGE OUR WORLD. It was made by Scales, Cliff Richard and other singers. The money from it will help to conserve wild plants and animals. In China, a new Great Wall has been built across the northern part of the country to stop the sand from moving towards the rich farmland in the south.

To me, music is food and water. I can't live without it. I know this is not true for everybody. Usually lots of people go to concerts or listen to music records. Maybe some of you don't do these and you get along quite well, but music is everywhere in our life. For example, when you see movies or watch TV plays, will you find them interesting if there is no music? I'm sure you will find them boring. And when you are waiting for the train or the plane, you would like some music because it makes the time seem shorter.

Some people like to sit by the sea and listen to the sound of the sea. Some enjoy listening to the singing of birds. Those sounds are some kind of music. So music has a meaning for everyone to some extent. （程度） Of course, it has special meaning for people like me. We spend our lives playing or writing music.

Someone said," Through music a child goes into a world of beauty, learn to take care of others and makes his mind and body healthy." Music is really an important part of our life.

Dinosaurs(恐龙)once lived on the earth for a long time. They suddenly disappeared millions of years ago. What happened to them? That's still a mystery. People never stop searching for the answer.

Some US scientists say it is because there were not enough male(雄性的)dinosaurs. They got this idea after researching crocodiles(鳄鱼).

Mother crocodiles lay eggs and later baby crocodiles come out. The local temperature decides the sex(性别)of the baby crocodile. When the eggs are at 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.

Dinosaurs' babies also came from eggs. So scientists have given us a new picture: millions of years ago, it suddenly became very cold. Almost all dinosaur babies were girls. There were fewer and fewer male dinosaurs. Mother dinosaurs could not give birth to more babies. Finally, these powerful animals disappeared.
