13、ert all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time Why is more and more land becoming desert? Scientists think that people make desertsPeople are doing bad things to the earth Some places on the earth dont get much rain. But they still dont become deserts. This is because some

14、 green plants are growing thereSmall green plants and grass are very important to dry places. Plants dont let the sun make the earth even drier. Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away.

17、tter to grow crops on dry land than to cut them DWe can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money.

18、 friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, these thoughts can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it is too late. Why do we go wrong with our friends, or our enemies?

19、 words. When someone tells you, “Youre a lucky dog!” Is he really on your side? If he says, “Youre a lucky guy!” that is being friendly. But “a lucky dog”? There is a bit of envy (嫉妒) in those words. What he may be saying is that he does not think you deserve (應(yīng)得) your luck. “Just think of all the t

20、hings you have to be thankful for” is another phrase that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem. But this phrase contains the thought that your problem is not at all important. How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words

21、? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Is what he says shown by the tone of voice? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save your another mistake.12. When the write
