We know that many animals do not stay in one place．Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time．They move for different reasons：most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded．
When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food．Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed．The most famous migration is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon”．This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water．There it spends its life．When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water．Then it gives birth and dies．In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse．They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded．They move down to the low land．Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea．
Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龙虾)．Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean．Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go．So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t．Maybe living things just like to travel．

Not all memories are sweet．Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences．Wars and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional(精神上的)scars．Often they appear again in dreams．
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories．The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience．They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase(抹去)the effect of sad memories．
In November, some scientists tested a drug(药)on people in the US and France．The drug stops the body producing chemicals(化学品)that fix memories in the brain．So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased．
The research has caused plenty of argument．Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it．
Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war．They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories．
“Some memories can destroy people’s lives．They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a dream．They usually come with very sad emotions．” said Roger Pitman, a scientist of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School．“This could relieve(减轻)a lot of that suffering．”
But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous to change memories because memories give us our identity(特质)．They also help us all get away from the mistakes of the past．
“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are．I’m not sure we want to erase those memories,” said Rebecca Dresser．

Rockets(火箭)can fly far out into space．Rockets with men inside them have already reached the moon in the USA and Russia．Several rockets without men inside them have been sent to other worlds much farther away．On Nov．7, 2007, China’s first lunar probe, Chang’e I, successfully has completed its 1,580,000 km flying journey to the moon．
I am sure that you are asking ‘How does a rocket fly?’ If you want to know, get a balloon and then blow it up, until it is quite big．Do not tie up the neck of the balloon, let it go．The balloon will fly off through the air very quickly．The air inside the balloon tries to get out．It rushes out through the neck of the balloon and this pushes the balloon through the air．
This is how a rocket works．Of course, the rocket is made of metal．The metal must not be heavy but it must be very strong．There is gas inside the rocket, which is made very hot．When itrushes out of the end of the rocket, the rocket is pushed up into the air．The jet velocity(喷射速度)is always faster than the flying speed．
We’re sure that one day rockets with man may be able to go anywhere in space．

Sometimes……By Paul Green
Sometimes I feel lonely,
Like I’m by myself and full of fears．
When I’m that way, I call a friend．
My lonely mood soon disappears．
Sometimes I feel excited,
Like I have some news I have to share!
My friends open their ears to me．
They always listen, talk, and care．
Sometimes I feel so sad,
Like my world is cold and darkest blue．
At those times my friends let me know
They’re with me, standing strong and true．
Sometimes I feel confused(困惑的),
Like I just don’t know how I should feel．
My friends then help me figure out
What’s right and wrong, what’s false and real!
