Some people have seen it but others haven’t. The sea looks beautiful on a fine sunny day and it can be very tough when there is a strong wind. What other things do you know about it? Of course, the sea is very large. In the world there is more sea than land. If you have swum in the sea, you know that the sea is salty. Rivers carry salt from the land into the sea. Some places of the sea are saltier than the other places. Do you know the Dead Sea? It is so salty that you can’t sink when you are in the water! And fish cannot live in it!Passage 23.A Good Young PioneerLi Hua is a Yong Pioneer. He is going to the park. Now he is waiting for a bus. Suddenly he finds a watch on the ground.

Can the bird sing? Yes, it can. What’s under the big tree? It’s a cat.“I want some food,‖ thinks the cat. ―Bird, my good friend, Come here! It’s time to play games‖ says the cat.“No today, thank you!‖ says the bird, ―You can’t catch me! Goodbye!‖ Look! The bird is flying!Passage 26.A Flying FoxA flying fox is not a fox at all. It is a bat. But this bat looks like a fox. A flying fox is very big. It likes to eat fruit. Sometimes the flying fox is called fruit bat.The flying fox flies into fruit trees. Then the bat eats all the fruit. So fruit farmers do not like the flying fox.Passage 27.Fl ying BirdsBirds don’t fly high up in the sky. The air is too thin.It is hard for birds to breathe in thin air. Thin air doesn’t hold them up.Birds fly near the ground so that they can see where they are. The birds look for places they know. Then they do not get lost. Some birds fly so low over the ocean that the waves often hide them. Many birds fly a long distance in the spring and autumn.Passage 28.AirAir is all around us. It is around us as we walk and play. From the time we were born air is around us on every side. When we sit down, it is around us. When we go to bed, air is also around us. We live in air. We can live without food or water for a few days, but we cannot live for more than a few minutes without air. We take in air. When we are working or running we need more air. When we are asleep, we need less air. We live in air, but we cannot see it. We can only feel it when it is moving. Moving air is called wind. How can we make air move? Here is one way. Hold an open book in front of your face, close it quickly. What can you feel? What you feel is air.Passage 29.ClocksThere are many clocks in the Brown’s house. They are in different rooms.A big clock stands in a corner of the sitting room. It is a very, very old clock, but it still keeps good time. Mr. Brown winds it once a week.Passage 30. SwimmingSwimming is a good sport. It’s popular. People like swimming because the water makes people feel cool. But if they swim in a wrong place, it is very dangerous. These years, some people died when they were enjoying themselves in water and most of them were students. Summer holiday will be there again. I want to give you some advice. First, don’t get into the water when y ou are alone. Second, don’t get into the water if there is a No swimming sign. Third, you should be careful in the water. If you remember these, swimming will be safe and it’s good for your health.Passage 31.A missing tigerWe used to have a cat called Tiger. He was a beautiful tabby with a great deal of character. He was a natural hunter, and very soon no mouse dared to show its face in our house.Unfortunately Tiger also used to catch a lot of birds and this made him very unpopular with some of the neighbors. Onday day, just after his second birthday, Tiger disappeared. Perhaps he was run over by a car, for at that time we lived near a busy street.
