But in Alice Springs, another town in thecountry, people haven't got much time for goats.They're busy organizing two other unusual sports.In July there's camel（骆驼）racing．This started in 1970, when two friends decided to have a race on camels along the dry bed of the Todd River.Now the Camel Cup is a very big race and a lot of people come to watch. If you think there aren't enough camels in Australia for a camel race, think again! Australia has the world's largest camel population. In the 19th century people used them for journeys when there wasn't enough water for their horses. When railways and roads arrived, the camels weren't useful anymore, but they lived very happily in Australia's central desert.The other strange race in Alice Springs is the Henley-on-todd Regatta. The name comes from a famous boat race at Henley-on-thames in England. But there's one big difference. There's always water in the Thames but the Todd River in Alice Springs is almost always dry. They use boats without a bottom(底)and teams of people run along the river bed,carrying their boats with them.

They knew how big it was and how far it was from the earth. But they wanted to know more about it. They thought the best way was to send men to the moon.The moon is about 384, 000 kilometers away from the earth.

It is a country in Southeast Asia. I've been in Thailand for a few days with my parents. We are here for a holiday.Now we are staying in Bangkok(曼谷). It is the capital of Thailand and it is a very interesting place to visit. Yesterday we visited some places of interest in the city. They are great! This morning we went shopping. Bangkok is a wonderful place to shop for jewelry(珠宝)and clothes. My mother bought a nice necklace(项链). My father and I bought some fashionable T-shirts.Thailand is called "Land of Smiles"because people here are very friendly, And it's true! When we eat in the restaurants in Bangkok, the waiters are really nice and they are always smiling. Thai food is delicious ,but it is sometimes a little spicy（辛辣的）for me．You can also get Chinese food here because a lot of Chinese people came to live in Bangkok many years ago. Chinese food is very good, and it isn't as spicy as Thai food. Our American food can also be found in Bangkok, however, I don't eat it. You know, I'd like to try new things when I travel.The weather has been very hot. Yesterday it rained and got a little cooler. But today it's hot again.根据短文内容填空。
