　　Scientists are trying to turn deserts(沙漠)into good land again．They want to bring water to the deserts, so people can live and grow food there．However, more and more land is becoming desert．Why? Scientists think that people are doing bad things to turn good land into desert．

　　Some places on the earth do not get very much rain, but they still do not become desert．This is because green plants are growing there．Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places．Plants do not let the hot sun make the earth even drier．Plants do not let the wind blow the soil away．When rain falls, plants hold the water．Without plants, land can become desert much more easily．

　　Typhoons in the northern part of the world have girls' names．Sometimes they have very beautiful names．Rose is a pretty name but there was nothing pretty about Typhoon Rose．It was the worst typhoon to hit Hong Kong in ten years．

　　It began to rain early on the morning of Monday, August 16th, 1971．At ten o'clock in the morning, Typhoon Rose was still 130 miles away．The wind became stronger and stronger．The typhoon shelters were soon full of boats．Ships were too big to go inside the shelters, so they put down more anchors(锚)．It is safer for a big ship to be at sea in a typhoon because it cannot be blown onto rocks．Kai Tak Airport closed．No planes were able to take off or land．At 9∶00 in the evening, all the lights went out．No one slept well that night．It is difficult to sleep in such bad weather．

　　In Typhoon Rose, more than one hundred people died．229 people were injured and 66 of these had to go to hospital．1 500 people lost their homes．The people of Hong Kong will not quickly forget Typhoon Rose!

　　Why are you doing it? Why did you do it? Everyone asks the same question and I give a different answer every time：adventure(冒险), travel, time for thought, solitude(独处), challenge(挑战), curiosity(好奇), historical research, freedom, fun…all are true and good enough reasons．But why go round the world? And why on a bicycle?

　　For many years I was the headmistress of a private school for girls in the south of England．In January 1983, when I was fifty years old, I was on holiday with two friends in India．One day I looked out of the bus window and saw a cyclist, a solitary European man, riding across the Great Thar Desert．And I was filled with envy．I wanted to be out there myself on that road on a bicycle, alone and free, feeling the reality of India, not looking at it through a pane of glass．I was not athletic．I was not young．I wasn't a keen cyclist and I didn't even have a bike．I had no idea how to mend a puncture．I hated camping, picnics and discomfort．In fact, my qualifications for a long cycle ride were very poor．But it was the bicycle which had immediate appeal．
