　　The dinosaurs once lived happily on the earth．But 65 million years ago，they suddenly died out．What happened to them?

　　Scientists think that a change in temperature may be to blame．They have come up with lots of ideas to explain the end of the dinosaurs．

　　The most famous one is the minor planet (小行星) idea．Let's go back to that day 65 million years ago to see what happened．Everything was OK before a large minor planet suddenly hit the earth．What a terrible hit! It caused big fires，storms，acid rain，and even earthquakes and volcano eruptions．The hit produced a lot of dust,which flew up into the air and blocked the sun for months．The earth became very cold without sunlight．The plants died first．Then the grass-eating animals died of hunger．Then the meat-eating animals could not find food，either．They began to eat each other，but after a while they died out，too．The dinosaurs，either plant-eaters or meat-eaters，did not live through the disaster(灾难)．What a sad story!

　　In April，a British scientist thought of a new idea about the death of the dinosaurs．He thinks that after the minor planet hit the earth，the temperature change left more dinosaur boys than girls! Without enough female dinosaurs to hatch the eggs，the dinosaur population became smaller and smaller．

　　There are four season in a year：spring,summer autumn and winter．

　　Spring is the best season of the year．The weather gets warmer and the days get longer．The crops begin to grow．The trees turn green and flowers come out．

　　Summer comes after spring．It is the warmest season．It often rains and the crops grow fast．The best sport in summer is swimming．Children often go swimming in rivers and lakes．

　　Autumn is a busy season．The days get shorter and the nights get longer．It is harvest time．The farmers are busy．They are getting in the crops．

　　Winter is the coldest season of the year．Sometimes it snows and the fields are all while．Skating is the best sport in winter．Many boys and girls often go skating．But the farmers are still busy．They are getting ready for the next year．

　　I live in a small town near Xing’an in Guilin．You can’t see it on the map of China，because it is too small．The air here is fresh．There are not many tall buildings in our town．The best building is in our school．There are four hundred students and twenty-five teachers in our school．In the front of the school，there is a playground.I often play basketball with my classmates on it．There is a little garden behind our school．And we can grow beautiful flowers and plant trees in the garden．Next to the garden，there is an orange orchard(果园)．You can hear birds singing everywhere．There is a river not far from our school．In summer，we usually go swimming with our teachers in it．We study Chinese，English，math and other subjects at school．The teachers are very nice．We love our school．

If your school has a five weeks'holiday next year，perhaps(也许) you'll be able to stay with us for two or three weeks．

　　We have been back to school for three weeks now．It feels like three months!I expect(期望) that you are both working very hard now since(因为) you are in Grade One．I shall have to work hard next year when I am in Grade one．Tom and Ann won't be in Grade One until 2005.

　　They went for a picnic yesterday but I didn't go with them because I cut my foot and I couldn't walk very well．They went to an island and enjoyed themselves there．Do you still remember the island?That's where all of us spent the last day of our holiday．

　　Tom，Ann and I send our best wishes to Betty and you．We hope to see you soon．

　　Last year an important man came to visit us．He is Russian president Vidimir Putin．Putin was born in St．Petersburg，Russia's second largest city，in 1952．He came to office in 2000．Four years later．he was again the president．

　　Putin does a good job making Russia great．People say that he is serious and capable(有能力的)．But young Putin wasn't a top student at all．His student's books and diaries from 40 years ago show this．At a time when the top mark was five，Putin got three for maths and science．His art was even worse，only two．

He sometimes forgot to finish his maths homework．Once he forgot to wear school uniform．His teacher had to ask him to get out of the classroom．But Putin did very well in the moral class(品德课)．He always got full marks．He also showed a strong love for Russia at an early age．

　　Lin Nong directed the film，and Li Moran starred in it．It takes the two battles at Zhongfeng Island and on the Yellow Sea，showing the war against foreign invasion(外国侵略者)．

　　Deng Shichang，the captain of the Zhiyuan Warship(致远舰)，takes part in the war．He is very hrave and hits the enemy warship with Chinese ship，laying down his life for the country．People think Deng Shichang is a really national hero．

　　People like the films about the national heroes．The students even like them，for they can learn history from the film，and they can learn the spirit from them．Because many of them have a distinct spirit of the times and a strong sense of history(时代精神和历史意识)．
