【推荐1】There is an old story about a king and his daughter.The king asked his daughter how much she loved him. She said that she loved him as much as she loved salt. Her answer upset the king.Salt is a simple thing and it is very common.So the king thought his daughter didn't care about him. But the king was wrong.Salt might be common, but it is very important. Throughout history, salt has caused wars and revolutions.So why do people care so much about salt?
Salt has many uses.Our bodies need salt. If we don't have enough salt, our muscles, nerves and organs can't function properly.We put salt on icy roads to make them safe.We also use salt to produce other products.Products like plastic, paper, glass, rubber and soap depend on salt.One kind of salt is even an important part of gunpowder(火药).But for many years, salt's most important job was helping store food for a long period of lime.
Like other living things, most bacteria (细菌)that cause food to spoil need water to survive. Salt absorbs (吸收) large amounts of water,so most bacteria cannot live in a salty environment.As a result,salt has the ability to store almost anything.For much of human history, this has made salt treasured and indispensable- Every ancient culture from Egypt to China depended on salt. Even today, we compare hardworking useful people to salt by calling them "the salt of the earth"
For centuries, salt was also hard to get. The combination of usefulness and rarity made it extremely expensive. Since almost everyone needed salt, the salt trade was an important business.Salt could even be used like money.In fact, the word salary comes from the word salt. And valuable people are still described as being "worth their salt". Today, salt is easy to get.It is no longer expensive, but it is still both important and useful.

【推荐3】Where does a lion sleep? Anywhere it wants. When a lion wants to sleep, it can just lie on the ground or even hang out in a tree. Other animals have to be a little careful about where they sleep, so they don’t end up someone’s dinner. In fact, different animals have developed some pretty creative ways to get their rest and stay safe.
| The basilisk Lizard (蜥蜴) | It likes to sleep at the far end of small branches hanging out over a pool or lake in the rain forest. If a snake tries to eat it, the snakes shakes the branch and knocks the lizard off, and it falls safely into the water. Some birds also find it safe to sleep in the trees. |
| Mallard ducks | Other birds find it safer to sleep on water. Mallard ducks will sleep in line with ducks on each end keeping an eye out for danger. If one of them notices danger, it will call out loud enough to wake up the others. |
| Dolphins | Dolphins live underwater, but they must come to the surface (水面) to breathe. Scientists now believe they may sleep with half their brain, while the other half stays awake to keep safe and breathing. |
| Horses | Some huge animals face a different sleeping challenge. They are just so big that lying down for them isn’t comfortable. You may have heard that horses sleep standing up, but the deepest sleep still comes when they lie down. |
| Bats | Some animals sleep on the ceiling (顶棚). Bats hang upside down from the caves or from tree branches. Some bats never use their feet for the top of walking, but for hanging from branches or rocks. |
