How cool is cold !

The weather for the weekend is going to be very cold. We'll see temperatures as low as －15℃　in some places, and there will be a lot of wind and snow. Driving will be dangerous because of ice on the roads. So wear wear warm clothes and drive carefully.

 

In this book, how cold-weather affect our lives and animals. I didn't know until reading this book that shivering helps us keep warm by making hearts. I understood that's why we shiver when we feel cold.

According to this book, there are two kinds of animals: warm-blooded and cold-blooded. Cold-blooded animals, for example, are lizards and snakes. They don't need to use the food to heat their bodies.

SUPERBIRD

Good morning. Welcome to Radio News Today. Twenty years ago today Superbird crashed into a hill in the middle of a desert. Well, we all know that, don't we? We all read yhe news in the Daily  Star that said five people died: Ford, Stone,Sands, Bridges and Mount.


This story goes with radio style, I read this kind of style for the first time. A space craft crashed onto the earth accidentally and  aliens ware rescued by human. People taught their languages  to aliens so that they can communicate with them. I thought this is interesting. At the end of this story, aliens came to thier planet after fixed ther space craft.

Turtles

Turtles are among the oldest animal species still alive. They are differently the oldest reptile. Turtles are symbols and significance.  It is an ancient creature  which is cousin to the dinosaurs that once walked our earth.

By reading this book I knew more about turtles, for examle, it is a cousin to the dinosaurs, the largest turtle on earth can weigh 227 kilograms and live for more than 150 yaers!

A famous fable that most people know of tortoise and the hare shows the inportance of patience and endurance. Applying to life, concentrate on the job in front of you, avoid being careless and over-confident, and tou will hane success.

I usually read novels, but reading this kind of books also interesting for me.
