Do you know a special kind of forest in China? We call it“the mangrove(红树林)” or“the red forest”. Are the mangroves red? No, mangroves don't have red leaves. They are green.

Mangroves grow in the water on the coast. The place of mangrove planting in China is

between 20°-30°N and 105°-120°E. Some parts of the trees are out of the water. They are home to mammals(哺乳动物) like monkeys. The other parts in the water make great homes for baby sea animals, like baby fish.

Mangroves can grow as high as 10 meters. They keep the land away from strong winds and waves(海浪). Like other trees, mangroves take in CO₂ to make O₂ . They are helping to make air clean on the earth. But now there are fewer and fewer mangroves. We need to do more to protect them.

You are thirsty after playing sports or riding home from school. A cold drink may be great. But something that looks cool may not be good for your health.

There are plenty of" energy drinks" on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. But after a careful check, you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are mainly for young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.

Caffeine is bad for health. Because of this, the Olympic Games(奥运会) have limited its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is almost as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Just one box of energy drink can make you excited, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be stopped from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.

So we should stay away from the energy drinks to keep healthy.

第二节阅读表达

The hot pot is one of the most popular meals in China. The hot pot appeared in China about 2,000 years ago. It used to be eaten in winter, but now it appears on tables all year round.

Besides its delicious taste, there are two other important reasons for the Chinese to like the hot pot. The first one is that the hot pot is a great way to make new friends. People sit around the pot, talking, eating, drinking and having fun. When people enjoy the hot pot, it will make people feel comfortable and relaxed. The other is that the hot pot is a“healthy meal”. Eating the hot pot can warm the body and improve circulation(血液循环) in winter.

There are several kinds of hot pots in China with different soup. Two of the most popular hot pots are Sichuan hot pot and Beijing mutton hot pot. Sichuan hot pot is famous for its numbing and spicy(麻辣的) taste because of Sichuan pepper. As for Beijing mutton hot pot, mutton is its main part, and the soup is made from lamb bones(骨头).
