A

In the sea there are many islands. In its warm water there are some little ones. We call them "Coral islands".

A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring of land with trees, grass and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake inside the island.

If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful coral. You may think they are flowers.

If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. In each of these holes a very small sea animal has lived. These sea animals make the coral.

They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher. At last it grew out of the water.

Then the sea brought it into small trees and something else. After some years, these things changed into earth. Sometimes the wind brought seeds to this earth. Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island.

The little seeds grew. In a few years there were plants all over the island. In a few more years there were trees growing there. So you see, these islands were built little by little. The workers were very small. Do they not teach us a lesson? Can you think what the lesson is?

Millions of years ago, dinosaurs (恐龙) lived on earth. At that time, the whole earth was warm and wet. There were green forests and they could find enough to eat.

Gradually（渐渐地）, parts of the earth became cold and dry and

the forests there died. Then dinosaurs could not find enough to eat. This must be one reason why dinosaurs died out (灭绝). There may be other reasons that we do not yet know about. Scientists are trying to make more discoveries（发现）about dinosaurs.

We now know that dinosaurs were of many sizes and shapes. Some were as small as chickens, while some were about 90 feet long.

There were also terrible fights（战争）between dinosaurs! They might have happened more than 100 millions years ago. Though no man was there to see any of the fights, we can tell by the animals’footprints that fights did happen.
