Squirrels are getting ready for winter. They are looking for nuts(坚果) and seeds(种子), digging holes in the ground or finding holes in trees. That’s where they store the food they will need during the coming months, when the weather is cold and sometimes snowy.

Squirrels spend a lot of time in trees, which are like restaurants for them. Among their favorite things to eat are nuts and other parts of trees, like tender buds (花苞).

Squirrels may also eat corn, insects and other animals. And, as anyone who has a bird knows, squirrels love bird food!

Squirrels stay active(活跃) all winter, so they need plenty of food to help keep up their energy(能量). Squirrels tend to bury food underground, piece by piece. Some squirrels may gather(收集) food into piles that they put at the base of trees or bury underground.

When they need food, squirrels use their memory and smell to help them find what they buried. Sometimes, you’ll even see them digging through the snow.

Squirrels make nests in trees. Some squirrels spend much of the winter in underground tunnels (地道), where it is warmer.

When spring comes, squirrels change their eating habits to new plant growth, like buds and leaves. Sometimes they forget to dig up all their buried nuts.

That’s why you’ll sometimes find a little tree growing in a place where neither you nor your family planted it. It must have been the squirrels.

People read books less often in these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.

Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.

Everything in today’s society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.

Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.

Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.

With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age. So I think people should read books.
