So the next morning, I lay under it and got my photo!”Many of the best wildlife photos come from good planning. In Africa, photographers set up their hides (隐匿处) near water holes.

Im a fourteen-year-old German student. Im writing to tell you about an experiment we are doing at school with our science teacher. At the beginning of this school year, Frau Keller showed us films and we read articles about problems in the environment. One day she said, “I want to know what you think. Please dont tell me what we should do or must do. Tell me what each of you will do to protect the environment.” She asked us to choose a topic, make a weekly plan and tell the class about it. Then we had to do things to be “green” and write a report about our achievements. Some students said that they thought it was impossible for a single person to contribute to the protection of the environment. Someone else said that scientists should work harder to find new ways to produce energy. Frau Keller said that it was everyones job to care for the health of the planet. After the first week everybody in class was excited about the project and wanted to continue to improve their results. Someone suggested telling the other classes in the school. Now all 768 students at Hermann Stein School are working on the project. At the end of the year, our class will write a report about what we have achieved. Next week Ill think about how not to waste water or make it dirty. Im planning to try and use less water every day, and also not use so much of the things that make it dirty. Every time I turn on the tap I must think about how much water and soap I use. To use less water, this is what Ill do: Take a shower instead of a bath; Turn off the tap while brushing my teeth;Use less washing-up liquid when washing dishes.

Golden oranges come from southern California and Florida.The United States is one of the greatest fruit-growing countries in the world.

In Washington, apple trees are planted near the Atlantic Ocean. In New York, they grow near the Great Lakes. 63 Water temperature changes more slowly than land temperature.
