  Water can be a liquid, a solid or a gas.When it is a solid, it may be as hard as rock.When it is a liquid, you can pour it out of a bottle.When it is a gas, you cannot see or pr feel it.

  Water can change from one form to another easily.When we freeze water, it turns into ice.When we boil water, it turns into steam.When ice melts, it turns into water.When steam cools, it turns into water.The three forms of water are ice, steam and water.

  Where does water come from? Water rises to the sky by the heat.Water vapour is formed.This rises and forms clouds in the air.When the clouds come near a mountain, they are forced to rise.As the clouds rise, they are cooled.The higher they rise, the more they are cooled.This causes more and more water vapour to condense(凝结).In this way, the tiny drops of water in the clouds get bigger and bigger until they are heavy enough to fall to the earth as rain.

  Some rain water which falls on the earth again rises to the sky by the sun's heat.Some of it sinks into the ground.It may be used up by thirsty plants.It may reach a well.Most of the water goes back to the rivers, seas and oceans.This process then starts all over again.This process is called the water cycle.

阅读Fishing Can Be Dangerous

  Old Peter liked fishing.Whenever he had any free time he drove into the countryside, found a good place to fish, and spent a few hours fishing.The problem was that most of the best places to fish were on private land, and Peter often had to pull his rod out of the water quickly and run off with it when the owner of the land came along.

  One day he was sitting by a river that ran through a rich man's property when he fell asleep.

  He was awakened by a voice saying, “You'll never catch anything using that bait.”

  Peter looked up and saw a man standing behind him.

  “What do you mean?”Peter said.“There's nothing wrong with this bait.I always use it.I've caught thirty fish with it today already.”

  “How interesting!” the man said.“Do you know who I am?”

  Peter shook his head.

  “I'm the owner of this land.”

  Peter thought very quickly.

  “Do you know who I am?” he asked.

  The man shook his head.

  “I'm the biggest liar in the country,” Peter told him.

  And with these words he pulled his line out of the water and ran off as fast as he could.
