Do you know mountains that look like huge stone pillars()?Many people
feel surprised when they first see the special mountains in Zhangjiajie.How did
these mountains form?Let's travel through time to discover their story.
Long ago,Zhangjiajie was under water.Rivers brought sand to the seabed.
Year after year,new sand fell on the old sand.The sand layers()grew thicker()and thicker
like a giant cake in the oven,with each new layer pressing the old ones tighter.The heavy new sand
pushed the old sand together.After millions of years,the sand became hard rock.The hard rock was
sandstone.
Then,something amazing happened.The seabed slowly ascended and became dry land.The
sandstone started breaking into big pieces.
—29
Now came nature's artists-wind and water.Strong winds blew against the sandstone,while
rainwater made small holes()in the stones.Like a knife cutting cakes,rivers ran through these
holes and made them deeper.These two natural artists slowly changed the sandstone into beautiful
stone pillars.
But this story isn't over.Even now,wind and rain keep making the stone pillars smaller.Every
year,these pillars lose a tiny bit of their height.And then new cracks()appear.Scientists say
that after millions more years,these stone pillars will completely disappear.So we're to see
this natural wonder before it's all gone.

Quite a few students are short-sighted now.This
is because some students watch TV or play computer
games for too long,and some keep their eyes too close
to books when reading.Poor eyesight makes our lives
difficult.For example,we can't swim without glasses,
and we can't become pilots in the future.So it's
important for us to protect our eyesight.Here is some
advice on protecting eyesight.
First,we should relax after studying for hours.
Second,we should do eye exercises every day.Third,
we shouldn't watch TV or play computer games for too
long.
Eyes are the windows of the heart.Let's have
bright eyes to enjoy the beauty of the world!

Hello,everyone!I'm a student in Class 2,Grade
8.I am 14 years old.I like doing sports.
Once I spent too much time watching TV and
playing computer games.So my grades became worse
and worse.I felt sad and didn't know what to do.My
mother noticed my changes.She had a long talk with
me.She advised me to relax by listening to music and
running for an hour in the morning every day.A few
months later,I found running could make me healthy
and happy.
In my opinion,when you meet some difficulties,
you can share them with your parents or teachers.
They will give you some useful advice.

The Yangtze River
The Yangtze River is the longest in Asia and the
third longest in the world.It is about 6,300 kilometres
long.It starts from Qinghai and runs into the East
China Sea.Many fish live here,including some rare
species.
This river plays a key role in our lives.It
provides drinking water for humans and it is also home
to different kinds of fish.We call it "mother river"
with deep love.
However,the river is getting dirty and we must
protect it.Don't drop rubbish into it,and stop factories
from pouring waste water into it.Let's work together to
keep our mother river clean and beautiful!

How to Protect Ourselves During Earthquakes
Many earthquakes happen every year.As students,
we should learn some ways to protect ourselves during
earthquakes.
If we are indoors,the safest place is under a
strong table or a desk.Use your hands and arms to
protect your head.Also,keep away from windows and
stay close to a wall,as it's safer than standing in the
middle of the room.
When we are outdoors,we must stay away from
tall buildings and tall trees.They might fall down and
hurt us.
If we are in the ruins after an earthquake,don't
be nervous!Remember,staying calm is the key.Shout
