| Some people think that all wild animals are dangerous. In fact, few of them will eat a man if left alone. If you meet a lion, I am sure you will run away. But even a lion will avoid (避免) a man if it is not very hungry. Lions only kill and eat men when they have grown too old to catch their food, such as sheep and other animals. Some animals get frightened when they only smell a man. Some of them stand and look at a man for a little while before they run away. Others take no notice at all but quietly walk in another direction (方向). Wild animals only eat a man when they are afraid that he tries to kill their young ones, or when they are shot at and made angry. |

| You can find out many things about a tree by studying its rings. Each year, from top to bottom, a tree grows a new layer (层) of wood around itself. If you cut across a tree trunk or branches, you would see that these layers of wood look like rings. By counting tree rings, you can tell how old the tree is. If you count ten rings, for example, the tree is ten years old. Looking at the picture shown above, you can see that each tree ring has a dark part and a light part. The light part wood grows in the spring, the dark part wood in winter. Look also, that some rings in the picture are wide and others are narrow (窄). Trees grow aide rings during the years when they get a lot of water and sun-light. By examining tree rings, you can tell what the weather may was like many years ago. Giant sequoia (红杉) trees, such as the one in the photo above, grow in north-western California. Some of these sequoias have more than 3000 tree rings. Can you guess how old such a tree would be? |

| The word "day" has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using "day" to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using "day" to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning (旋转) of the earth. At the equator (赤道) day and night are sometimes the same length (长度). They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o"clock in the morning and sets at 6 o"clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted (倾斜) toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere (半球) gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days. |
| 1. When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having ______. |
| [ ] |
