Later, people used the stones and steel（钢）to build strong and big bridges. The first steel bridge came out 254 years ago. It was just like the ones we see today.

There are names for different kinds of bridges. A bridge over a road called overpass. A bridge for us to carry water is called an aqueduct. You can drive a boat on an aqueduct! A long high bridge for people carry a road is a viaduct. And a long bridge over a sea is called a causeway. People can take a walk on a causeway.

Building a bridge is not an easy job because it usually takes many years, costs much money and needs hundreds of workers. For example, workers must build supports（支撑物）first under the water. And after that workers must spend a lot of time building piers. They are like the legs of the tables so they can hold up the bridge. This job can be really difficult in summer.

Today, bridges become a symbol of a city’s culture. Many people around the world come to San Francisco and Hebei to visit the Golden Gate bridge and Zhaozhou Bridge.

【推荐2】Hamsters (仓鼠) are tiny, fuzzy and chubby (胖乎乎) animals. When people see hamsters putting food in the cheeks (脸颊), they can’t stop laughing. Hamsters’ big cheeks make themselves look cute. The cheek pouch (颊囊) is not only cute. It is useful, too. A hamster uses it like a bag. When the hamster finds something delicious, it hides it in its pouch. Peanuts, grapes, carrots—there are lots of delicious snacks in its “bag”. Will it get full and break? NO worries. The pouch can expand (伸展) to about three times its size! It might win the Guinness World Record (吉尼斯世界纪录) for having the biggest mouth!

Evolution (进化) gives a hamster the pouch because it’s so small and weak. The hamster has many enemies (敌人) in the world, such as foxes, owls (猫头鹰), snakes and cats. Those animals may catch the hamster when it’s looking for food. When they show up (出现), the hamster has to run quickly. With the big pouch, it can run back home fast with both its life and its lunch. Otherwise (不然), it might die of hunger.

But the pouch also brings the hamster some not-so-cute problems. When foods stay in the pouch for a long time, they will go bad. The hamster can’t clean its pouch with a tooth brush. It hurts! It will stop eating.
