China is one of the largest cotton producers in the world. In 2020, China produced more than 5,910,000 tons of cotton from National Bureau of Statistics (国家统计局) , almost 3,000,000 tons more than America, the third largest cotton producer. Most of China’s best cotton come from Xinjiang. Last year, Xinjiang produced 5,160,000 tons of cotton, almost 87% of the whole country.
Why can Xinjiang grow the best cotton? Because cotton needs lots of heat and plenty of sunshine to grow. And Xinjiang has lots of sunshine—about 3,000 hours every year. Long-stapled cotton (长绒棉) is the most famous cotton in Xinjiang. It’s also one of the best kinds of cotton in the world.
Its fibers are longer, softer and whiter than those of other cotton. And it’s warm and comfortable. So it’s good for making cloth and quilts.
Every year, after the harvest season, the fresh cotton goes to the textile factories (纺织厂) nearby. There, the cotton is made into cloth and quilts.

【推荐3】Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport(机场) is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can’t open the windows. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast.

I also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.

【推荐1】Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest (热带雨林)? Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth’s surface, about six percent, but there are more kinds of trees than any other area in the whole world.
Tropical rainforests are in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, Australia, and on the Pacific islands. The largest tropical rainforest is the Amazon (亚马逊) Rainforest in South America, which covers almost five million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is “the lungs (肺) of our planet” because it produces 20% of the world’s oxygen (氧气). One fifth of the world’s fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world’s species of animals, plants and insects live in the Earths rainforests. 80% of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. 25% of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer.
There are four different levels of trees in a rainforest. The forest floor is the lowest layer full of animal life and receives the least amount of light. The under storey (下层植物) is the dark, cool environment under the leaves but over the ground. The canopy layer (树冠层) is the upper parts of most of the trees. The emergent layer (露生层)contains a small number of very tall trees. These different parts of a rainforest exist together to create an ecosystem for many animals, plants and human beings.
