【推荐3】Many cities in Africa are poor. But Nairobi (内罗毕)is an exception (例外). It’s the capital of Kenya (肯尼亚). Let’s pay a visit to it.
Nairobi is closer to the Sun than many other cities in the world. But in fact, it is not too hot. The average temperature (平均气温) is 17.7℃. When you walk around the city, you can see green trees, grass and colorful flowers.
Lake Naivasha (内瓦莎湖) is a freshwater lake near Nairobi. It is home to many kinds of wildlife. It’s wise to ride a boat on the lake. You will see birds flying in the air or swimming in the lake, such as flamingos.
You would love to meet hippos (河马). Hippos like to spend most of the day in the water. They breathe air, but they can also walk underwater for several minutes. They come out of the water at night. Then they eat grass, just like cows.
The Giraffe Centre in Nairobi is an amazing place to visit. Everyone knows giraffes are very, very tall. But here, you can get up close with the giraffes. You can also feed them.
Would you kiss a giraffe? Too crazy! But you can try it anyway, if you like. The staff (工作人员) here will teach you how to get along with these beautiful animals.

【推荐1】Botswana said it planned to send 20,000 elephants to Germany. “This is not a joke,” the president of Botswana said.
Botswana is a country in Africa. It has about 130,000 elephants, the most in Africa. These big animals often go to towns to find food and water. They can eat crops (庄稼) in farms, destroy houses and sometimes even step on people.
To help with the problem of too many elephants, Botswana lets people hunt them, but only up to 400 elephants each year. People can also take home their “trophies (战利品)”, such as the tusks (象牙). But Germany doesn’t like this idea. Some people there think it’s bad for the Earth.
In response to Germany, Botswana had a funny plan. They planned to send some elephants to Germany, so people there could see what it’s like to have lots of playful elephants running around!
Think in a different way: Perhaps we can work together to find a smarter and kinder way to help deal with the playful elephants.
● Make fences (栅栏) with beehives (蜂巢) or chili peppers (辣椒) around towns. Elephants don’t like these two things.
● Use satellites (卫星) and AI to track (追踪) elephants.
● Build special paths for elephants.
Fun facts about African elephants:
● They are the largest animals on land.
● There are about 415,000 of them in the wild.
● They can live up to 70 years.
● They have larger ears than those Asian elephants.

【推荐2】People read books less often these days. With the invention of TVs, computer games and mobile phones, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.
Books offer an outstanding wealth (财富) of learning and are at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge (知识) of how things work and who or what people are.
Everything needs reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the notes (注意) on a medicine bottle (瓶子) without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.
Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.
With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age. So I think people should read books.
