【推荐1】● The kangaroo mouse (更格卢鼠) never needs to drink water.
The kangaroo mouse is named after an Australian animal. It lives in the Nevada desert and doesn’t need to drink water. It has been used to the dry environment by getting all the water it needs from the seeds (种子) it eats.
● Clams (蛤蜊) have feet.
It seems clams have a big tongue (舌头) that sometimes reaches out from their shell (壳) to search around the ocean floor, but in fact what you’re seeing is a foot. This foot, longer than the clam’s shell, helps them dig in the sand on the ocean floor.

【推荐2】The great US writer, J. D. Salinger was one of the most influential writers of the last century. His writing interests all age groups, but young people are especially big fans of his.
He is famous for his novel The Catcher in the Rye. The hero of this story is named Holden Caulfield. Holden is a troublemaker at school and has difficulty getting along with others.
And yet Holden has a heart of gold. Many readers have been moved by the attitude (态度) he has toward young children, especially to his little sister Phoebe. He always tries his best to protect the young. Millions of people all over the world have taken the troubled 17-year-old Holden into their hearts.
In fact, Salinger didn't write all that much over the course of his life. Besides The Catcher in the Rye, he published (出版) a few other shorter works, and then, after 1965, nothing at all.

Parades, music, art, and food from many different cultures…if this sounds fun to you, then you can’t miss the Mombasa Carnival, a huge multicultural street party that takes place every November in Mombasa, Kenya. It’s a festival that celebrates not only African culture, but also cultures from other countries.
Mombasa is the second largest city in Kenya, Africa, and since the 12th century, it has been a stopping place for many foreign traders. Indians, Arabians, as well as the Spanish, all came there and left pieces of their cultures behind.
During the festival, businessmen line the streets, selling products. Some traditional artists show and sell their works, and local bands play Afropop and other types of music while traditional and modern dancing all take place on stage and in the streets.
Men and women wear traditional clothing, such as the kikoy. It’s a large piece of cloth that covers around the body and is tied at the waist or below the armpits with bright colors, usually worn by both men and women. The cloth can also be a skirt or even be used as a bag to carry babies. This type of clothing represents African culture.
There’s plenty to eat and drink for sale, like mnazi, a drink made from coconut, and madafu, which is fresh coconut milk. There are vegetables or meat dishes, often very hot and served on rice. Or try nyama choma, made by beef over a fire.
