There's nothing better than having a sweet sleep after a full day of tiring work. Like people, animals need to rest after working hard, too. Some animals sleep in water while others dig holes under the ground. Some even sleep high in trees or under the leaves. Although they sleep in different ways, all of them find ways to have a good rest.
Some animals in the sea sleep in strange ways. For example, fish sleep with their eyes open. They seem to look ahead far into the sea when they take breaks. Sea otters(海獭)sometimes sleep in beds of the plants that grow in the sea. This keeps them from moving away. Parrotfish(鹦嘴鱼)blow something from their mouths when they are ready to sleep. Then a bubble(气泡)will be formed around them. The bubble protects them from danger while they sleep.
Some animals sleep under the ground. Chipmunks(花栗鼠)sleep curled up(蜷缩)in a ball. Their beds are made of leaves and grass. In winter, they sleep for two weeks and wake up to eat the food. Then they go back to sleep for another two weeks before waking up again. Some desert frogs(青蛙)dig underground holes during the hot and dry season. A frog may stay in its hole for months.
High above the ground, monkeys find places in trees each evening before they sleep. The tall trees help to keep monkeys safe during the night. Some insects(昆虫)even sleep under the leaves that will be their next meal. A bee may climb down into a flower to rest. When it climbs out the next morning, it rests well and is ready for work.

Long ago, people didn't need a lot of numbers, but when small villages grew into big cities, people started to need bigger numbers to count bags of crops and make trades. How did people in ancient time count numbers?
Paclfic Islands Some Pacific Island cultures count using the whole body. Different body parts stood for a different number, and the name of that part also means that number. | Rome Greek, Roman, and Hebrew mathematicians used letters for their numbers, The Romans, for example, used I for 1, V for 5, X for 10, L for 50, C for 100, and M for 1,000. To write 49, it took nine letters: XXXXVIIII. | Peru In South America, the Inca came up with a different way to note down numbers — by making knots on ropes. Different kinds of knots stood for different numbers, while the color of the rope may have showed what was being counted. | |
Maya Math The Maya of Central America (200-900 CE) were great mathematicians. They counted in groups of 20. They wrote their numbers from bottom to top, with the bottom row standing for one time (1s), the next row up for 20 times (20s), then 400 times (400s), and so on. They used bean-shaped dots● for 1, twig-shaped lines for 5, and they even had a shell shaped symbol for 0! |
