Boats were everywhere in the museum! Pictures of boats were on every wall. Some was pictures of very old boats. Our guide showed us a real fishing boat called a long canoe. It was made of three logs. He said it was a sailing canoe.
At night we saw a boat parade. There was a long line of boats in the water. It was dark outside, but all the boats had lights. The lights were shining in the water. It looked beautiful. I’m glad my dad took me to the watermen’s museum. We’re planning to go again next summer. I can’t wait.

I have a wonderful friend. Her name is “Emily.”We have been friends ever since kindergarten. Last year, Emily started to borrow my things all the time. I always lent her what she asked for because I want to be nice. But then I noticed that she was not always returning the things she had borrowed!
One day I asked Emily to give my things back. She said that she couldn’t remember what she had borrowed. I made a list and gave it to her. The next day she brought back only one thing. It was a dirty T-shirt.
The next time I went to Emily’s house, I saw that her room was very messy. I asked her if we could look for my things together.
“I know they’re here somewhere,” she said.
Emily and I played some music on the radio and sang while we worked. The first lost thing that I discovered was my purple hat. It was under a pile of clothes on a chair. We kept finding more and more things.
Emily has stopped borrowing things. Also, she is trying to keep her room tidy. I hope she can do it one day.

Dinosaurs left tracks. Following them gives us clues about how they lived. Let’s follow the
tracks of a dinosaur at Rocky Hill, Connecticut. This is where we find Dinosaur State Park.
In 1968, workers started to make a building at Rocky Hill. They found tracks where they
were going to build. Everyone stopped working. They found more than 2,000 dinosaur tracks.
Scientists knew this was important. They did not make the building. They Array made the place a park, instead. Now people can visit the park to learn about
the tracks.
The tracks are from a dinosaur called Eubrontes. Scientists
found that the dinosaur walked on only two feet. Its feet were far
apart, but it didn’t take very big steps.
From the tracks at Rocky Hill, scientists guessed what
Eubronte looked like. It looked a lot like the dinosaur named Dilophosaurus.
It ate meat. It had strong claws for catching food. The dinosaur was about 8
feet tall.
The Park allows visitors to do something called casting. Casting is like copying one of the
footprints. Visitors put a metal ring around a track. Then they pour some plaster into the ring.
When it dries, the plaster looks like the footprint. After you make the cast, you can take it home.

More than half of the world’s population depends on wood, crop waste or coal to meet their most basic energy needs. Cooking and heating with these fuels may cause indoor air pollution. The indoor smoke is bad for people’s health. Dust is able to go deep into lungs. In the rooms without fresh air, indoor smoke can be as thick as 100 times of that in outdoor air. The problem is more serious among women and children, because they spend the most time near the home oven.
In developing countries, the use of these fuels is a serious problem to the health of poor families. It can be bad for health and stop economic development. At the same time, it will make the poor people poorer.
