What do we do when we go camping? First, we work out a plan. We take food, clothing, a knife, and things for cooking and eating. We take things to keep us away from insects (虫子) and the sun.

Then we put everything into the car and we drive to the woods (树林). We look for a place for campers (露营者) and we look for a good place for our tent (帐篷) . The place should have a lot of moving air. This will keep some insects away. High land with water on both sides of it is good. Then we put up our tent. We put everything into the tent, and we are ready for fun. We can swim in the lake, walk in the woods, climb a mountain, row a boat, or go fishing.

In the evening we come back to the tent, we build a big fire because it can keep the insects away. We sit around the fire and talk. We may tell interesting stories or we may sing songs.

At night we lie down on the grass. We can look up at the stars. It is a busy day, so we try to go to sleep early. Everything is dark. Everything is quiet. We hope we won’t hear music from the radio in the next tent. We hope it won’t rain.

【推荐1】Robert Ballard liked to read about shipwrecks(遇难船) as he was just a little boy He read a lot about the Titanic. Titanic was called "ship of dreams". It was the biggest passenger ship of is time. Its makers said it was "unsinkable", but the great ship sank on its first trip. "My lifelong dream was to find this great ship, "Robert Ballard says.

On August 31, 1985, Ballard's dream came true. He found the wreck of the Titanic. The ship was in two main parts lying four kilometers under the sea. Using video cameras and an undersea robot, Ballard looked around the ship. He found many things that told the sad story of the Titanic' s end. For example, he found a child's shoes, a reminder of the many deaths that happened that night in 1912.

In 1986, Ballard visited the Titanic again. This time he reached the ship in a small submarine(潜水艇). A deep-sea robot—a "swimming eyeball"—took photos inside the ship. When other people saw the photos, they wanted to visit the ship, too.

When Ballard returned in 2004, he found the Titanic in very bad condition. Other explorers had taken away about 6,000 items, like clothes, dishes, and shoes. Some even took pieces of the ship. They think these things should be moved to a safer place, but Ballard doesn't agree.

Ballard believes that taking things from the Titanic is like taking things away from a grave(坟墓). Instead, he wants to put lights and cameras on and around the shipwreck. This way, people can see the great shipwreck and remember what happened to it. "As long as she needs protection," says Ballard, "the Titanic will always be part of my life."
