Water is important for all living things on Earth. The water cycle
(循环) is a natural process that takes water from the ground and the
sky and brings it back to the earth again. It is a cycle that happens the
whole year and is most active from March to June in China.
The water cycle always begins with water vapour (蒸汽). When
it's hot outside, you can see clouds forming in the sky. These clouds are
made of water vapour that comes from the ground, plants and rivers.
3
As water vapour rises into the sky, it cools down and becomes clouds.
After that, clouds travel through the sky and fall back to Earth as rain
or snow. Then, water runs through rivers and oceans and finally returns
to the earth again.
The water cycle plays an important role in protecting our Earth's
climate (气候). It provides us with water to drink and keeps our
climate healthy. On top of that, it takes water from rivers and oceans
and brings it to the areas that don't have enough water. Without the
cycle, we would face many problems. When there is too much water in
one place, it becomes a flood. When water is badly in need, it becomes
a drought. Besides, water vapour can take heat from the sun and keep
our planet cool.
5
The water cycle is a natural process that keeps our planet alive. It's
important for plants and animals to drink water and for our rivers to stay
flowing with water. Understanding the water cycle can help us enjoy the
beauty of nature, know how our planet works and develop better methods
to protect our Earth. And that is a responsibility we should take on.

Welcome to the Amazon rainforest. As the largest
rainforest in the world, it plays an important role in keeping
the balanced ecosystem (生态系统) on the Earth. With an
area of around 6 million square kilometers, the Amazon rainforest is
more than half the size of China. This area has a great many species
(物种). Actually, one in ten known species in the world can be found
here.
17
Of the 390,000 plant species known to us, more
than 40,000 can be found in the Amazon. There are
different levels in the forest. At the bottom is a
system of roots under the ground. Above that is leaf litter on the dark
forest floor. The next level is made up of shorter plants with large leaves.
Then there are the towering ancient hardwoods, and finally the tops of
the trees which are taller than any other level of trees in the forest. Each
level of the forest forms its own little world, home to different kinds of
living things.
18
More than 1,300 species of birds and over 400 species of mammals
(哺乳动物) hide among the forest's plant life. This jaguar is one
example. While a large number of jaguars survive here, they are only
one part of this forest's food chain (食物链). They feed on at least 87
species, including frogs. These frogs, in turn, feed on insects which eat
leaves and fruit.
The Amazon rainforest is a treasure house of species that can be
used for food or medicine. What's more, the Amazon rainforest breathes
life into the planet by producing over 20 percent of all the Earth's
oxygen (O ). So it is often known as the “lungs of the planet”.
