With more and more rain falling, it’s time for snakes to be active. Living in the city, it never crosses your mind that we might meet them face to face.
Most people are afraid of snakes. They may think snakes are dangerous and ugly. There are more than 2,000 kinds of snakes. Most of them live in mountains or forests, and in cities sometimes we can find them in grass or other dark places. Snakes can’t walk or run because they have no legs or feet, but these long and thin animals can move very fast on their stomachs. Snakes usually have green, yellow or black skins, which make it difficult for their enemies to find them. In winter they hibernate in holes. They look for a hole to stay inside, in the ground, or in a rock or a tree. They do not wake up again until spring comes. Snakes feed on mice, frogs, bird eggs and so on.
Snakes play an important part in nature. We can make useful medicine with them. Without their help, the rodents (啮齿动物) will be out of control. But many of them are in danger of disappearing. Houses and buildings take up the land where snakes live. Many snakes lose their lives in traffic, and people often kill snakes for their skins or meat.

【推荐2】There are a lot of lovely animals in Australia. Kangaroos and koalas are very famous.
The kangaroo is the symbol of Australia. Kangaroos have large eyes and ears. They don’t walk, but jump. They can jump at over 50 kilometers each hour. They can even go over nine meters in one jump! Kangaroo mothers have pouches (育儿袋) to carry their babies. Babies stay inside to get milk and keep warm.
You can see kangaroos everywhere in Australia. There are about 50 million kangaroos in Australia. That’s more than the number of people in the country! Some kangaroos go hungry, because there is not enough to eat. They break into farms for food. Farmers are very angry with them. To help the farmers, the Australian Government kills some kangaroos each year.
The koala is also famous in Australia. Koalas have small eyes and a big nose. Koalas have special smell. They use it to mark (标记) their homes, —“This is my place. You can’ t come in!” Koala babies live in their mother’s pouch. But now koalas have fewer places to live, because people cut down many trees. And they are in great danger now, so we must save the trees and make laws to protect them.

【推荐3】One morning I watched a small ant carry a big feather（羽毛）across my window for about an hour. There were some difficulties in its way. Several times it met objects and after a while it could go around them.
The ant had to deal with a crack（裂缝）in the way. Thinking for a short time, the ant put the feather over the crack, walked across it and picked it up on the other side and then went on its way.
After some time the ant reached its home—a small hole. Here the ant finally faced the problem. How could that large feather possibly fit the small hole? Of course it couldn’t. The ant tried its best, but it failed at last. Then the ant just left the feather behind and went home alone.
The ant didn’t think the problem through before it began its brave journey. And the feather was nothing more than a heavy weight in the end. Isn’t our life like that? We often worry about money, jobs, exams and many other things. These worries are heavy things, and they make an already difficult life even more difficult. And we can find they are useless because they bring much trouble to us. Try to throw them away and learn to enjoy life.

A lot of people play sports, but very few people become sports professionals (专家). If sports are not going to be your future
First of all, sports are a good way to exercise. Exercising keeps you healthy and happy. When you exercise, your body makes endorphins (安多芬). Endorphins give you more energy and make you feel happier.

If you ask people what they think of graffiti (涂鸦), most say it is bad for public (公共的) things, but some people like the pictures or words painted on walls and think of it as an art.
Wall painting appeared about 40,000 years ago. Humans long before used to paint pictures of people or wild animals on the walls and tops of the caves (洞穴). Study shows that they were not used to make the living environment better, as there were no people living in most of the caves at the time when the paintings were created. Many experts (专家) believe that cave paintings must be a way of communicating (交流) with others.
Today, street art is not often found in art shows. ▲ Street artists use the streets as their art shows to communicate with the public. There are even a few walls around the world where graffiti is welcomed. For example, the famous John Lennon Wall, in Prague in the Czech Republic, was filled with graffiti pictures from the Beatles’ songs. It was popular in the 1980s until the wall was painted over again with a new color in 2000.
