2 . Men are the cleverest and most dangerous animals on the earth. Rats come second. Men kill many beasts, and they've even killed millions of men since very long ago, but rats kill more men. Rats carry many diseases and these diseases have killed and are still killing thousands and thousands of men today in many countries. Rats are dangerous not only in one way. They not only carry diseases into men's homes, they also eat up men's food. They eat 33 million tons of grain every year. Men starve because rats eat their food. Rats are clever, too. They have good leaders to tell them the food is terrible when men put poison in it. There are a lot of rats in our cities and villages today. We can go to the moon, but we can not kill all these terrible animals. Is this dangerous enemy too clever and grows too fast, or are we not clever enough and not clean enough?

The crow（乌鸦） is an ordinary bird. It is black all over. Crows are dirty birds because they live on bad food. Crows eat a lot of waste food. In this way they are more useful to us than any other bird. Crows are always hungry. They look for food all day long and in the evening you can see them in large numbers flying back to their homes in the trees.
Crows are much noisier than other birds. A lot of crows often get together on one house and talk. Sometimes they talk together, and sometimes they do it by turns. It is easy to know if they are happy or angry from crows’ sounds. Perhaps crow talk a lot because they are friendly birds.

My book report by Ivy Tang  This book is for children. It is about the oceans. It tells us about different kinds of water pollution and the things we can do to keep the oceans clean. It also tells us about the different ways we can save water. In this book, Simon Walker said, ‘Three quarters of the Earth is water. For thousands of years, the oceans have helped us by giving us food and water. Now, we are feeding them with dirty water from factories and rubbish from our homes. Now, the oceans are crying because they are very sick. Please help save them. ’ You can see many wonderful photographs of the oceans in this book. There are also beautiful photographs of sea animals like whales and sea horses. You can also see photographs of the famous pink dolphins. I think it is a very interesting and useful book. |
