A desert is a very dry land where there is hardly any rain．In the day, it can be so hot that you could fry an egg on the ground．But during the night it is sometimes so could that water would turn into ice．
Many desserts are covered in sand．But some have mountains, rocks, or lakes that have dried up in the heat．The Great American Dessert has cliffs(悬崖)that have been made into amazing and beautiful shapes by the wind．The Sahara Desert in Africa is mostly sand．The Australian Desert has red sand．
Sometimes it does not rain for a whole year in the desert．But there is water deep under the ground and some plants have roots that go very deep to find it．Other plants have roots that spread out(延伸)a long way so they can suck up the rain as soon as it falls．
One desert plant is the cactus, which has long, spreading roots．The cactus stores water inside its hard skin．This skin protects it from heat and cold．
Camels are a bit like cactus plants! They store water too－inside their bodies．They have special fur which protects them from the sun during the day and keeps them warm at night．
Some other animals live in deserts, too．They have to be very good at seeing and hearing because most of them only come out at night．This is why many desert animals have extra big eyes or ears．
A desert fox has bigger ears than a normal for．A gerbil has huge eye, so that it can see at night．It stays cool in the day by staying underground, like most desert animals．
Some people live in the desert but they always make their homes near an oasis．An oasis is where water comes from an underground river．Near an oasis, people can grow lots of plants and keep animals．
Life is hard in the desert, for people, animals and plants．But desert people like to live there．

Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new．
When I was a teenager I volunteered to pass out water at a local race．I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water．Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past．
I saw so many types of people doing it．I thought maybe I could do it too! The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had little running practice．I just wanted to finish．
On the day of the race, it was terribly hot．After running for about 5 miles, I was thinking, “I must be crazy．Why did I do this? What was I thinking？” And at one moment, I said to myself, “I am never doing this again！”
That first 10 km race was quite an experience．I jogged (慢跑), I walked, I jogged and walked．At times, I didn’t know if I could finish．
Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little embarrassed (尴尬的) that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn’t even keep up with him．But then I realized something．He was running his race and I was running mine．How often in life do we compare(比较) ourselves to others when we really shouldn’t? I decided that I would not give up on running races, and that one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running．
As I crossed the finishing line, I was proud of myself．I didn’t regret (后悔) having such an experience．
