The largest animal living on the earth is the blue whale. It weighs about 80 tons—more than 24 elephants. It is more than 30 metres long. A newborn baby whale weighs as heavy as a big elephant.

    Cats can survive(存活) when they fall down from a very high place because they can keep their bodies safe. One cat fell 32 floors onto the street, but it was just hurt a little.

    A bear can run as fast as a horse.

    A newborn panda is smaller than a mouse, and weighs about 100 grams.

    Elephants are the most careful animals in their love. A male elephant may show his love to a lady for up to three years until the lady accepts his love. They often show their love by touching each other's body.

    Usually, wolves don't attack(攻击) people. And wolves don't usually go together, but they may do this in winter.

    Children know that summer is probably the most fun of all seasons.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} especially for children aged 14 and under.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} They always know summer is a dangerous season for children.

    It can open many doors and can lead you into a path to success. It's quite clear that every successful person has a good habit of reading. This is because reading is an important way to get the information required to understand something. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    Then, how can you develop an interest in reading? There is only one way. Let me explain this to you. If you want to learn how to ride a bike, you have to get on the bike as many times as possible until you can ride successfully. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} If you want to improve your reading, try to read as much as you can. When you finish reading your first book, take another book and do the same. If you are going out, take a magazine, a book, an article or something else to read. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    So, parents should help to get their children to read as early as possible. Studies have shown that reading to your unborn child is very good. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Reading is always a wonderful time. Good books are good friends.
