  A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.

  Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.

  Even so, travel isn't that difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can lead you where you want to go.

  People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery and cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.

  Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war more than 1,500 years ago, and built homes there.

  Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem.

  Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower, little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters.

  Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made arctic (北冰洋的) ice melt (融化).

  Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is under water.

  Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower.

  Father's Day has a very short history.It started because there was a Mother's Day, and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother's Day, we should also have a Father's Day.Father's Day has become important in North America.And businesses(商人)found it was a good way to get people to buy a present for their fathers, a present from their shops.

  By the way, very few countries have a Father's Day, though(虽然)some have a Children's Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls.More and more countries are having Mother's Day, so maybe Father's Day will also become popular before long.Now, what do people in North America do on Father's Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do --- buy, buy, buy, buy, buy a Father's Day present for your father.They even tell a wife to buy, buy, buy, and buy a Father's Day present --- not for her father but for her husband, even if(即使)he is not yet a father.And they tell grandchildren to buy, buy, buy and buy a Father's Day present for their grandfathers.

  The important thing to remember about Father's Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.

The sun looks like a shiny plate, but it is really a big ball. It is always giving off light. Its flames (火焰) are very much hotter and bigger than any fire on the earth. The sun has a family. It is the biggest member in the family.

The moon is a ball, too, like the sun and the earth. Sometimes it looks as round as a plate, sometimes it looks like half a plate, or like a thin slice(片) of yellow melon(瓜).But whether you can see all of it or not, the moon is always round. Part of it is dark because it is always turned away from the sun. The moon has no light of its own. Moon light is only sunlight shining on the moon.

The moon is much smaller than the sun, even smaller than the stars. As the moon is nearer to us, it looks bigger. All day the stars are in the sky, but the light from the sun is so bright that you can not see them. Stars look as tiny(极小) as pinheads(针头), but some are even bigger than the sun.
