Here is an entry about Greenland from a children's encyclopedia. Please read on to learn more.

Greenland is the largest island in the world. It is almost four times larger than France. Ice covers about 80% of Greenland, but the area without ice is still larger than all of Japan.

Location and climate

Greenland lies between the North Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean. Most of it is north of the Arctic Circle, so it is very cold there.. In summer, the temperature gets a little higher. Some ice melts, and some green plants start to grow. They bring a little bit of green to the white land.

Animals

Greenland is very cold, but there are still some special animals there. For example, you can find animals like Arctic foxes, reindeer and polar bears. Polar bears are a symbol of Greenland. They are predators (食肉动物).

Tourism

A holiday in Greenland is a good idea because it's never crowded—there are only about 56,000 people there.

※ Dog sledding (狗拉雪橇) is an important part of Greenlandic culture. There aren't many roads. But instead, there are about 15,000 dogs ready to pull you across the ice on a sled. Try it and you can experience the local people's special way of getting around.

※ Greenland is one of the best places to see the northern lights. You can see them on clear nights from September to April. In summer, however, you can't see the northern lights.

A. They like to hunt seals on the ice.

B. They are a magical natural wonder.

C. It has an area of about 2.16 million square kilometres.

D. It's also a great way to learn about the local people.

E. From May to July, the sun never goes down.

F. In winter, the temperature (温度) is usually around -18℃!

The tradition has a long history. In the early 19th century in Jena, children were told there was a candy tree in the teacher's yard, and that when they were old enough to reach it, they could start school. From there the custom (习俗) spread to Berlin. Back then, the cone was simply a paper one—like those from candy stores—filled with sugary treats. After World War I, the custom spread south and west in Germany and many families started following it.

One thing to remember: the Schultüte is always opened at home, not at school. This practice was especially meaningful during difficult times because parents couldn't afford expensive gifts. Instead, the cone might hold some simple handmade gifts. At home, with no one else watching, the child could see how much care went into every little gift—each one saying, "I love you."

Today, parents in Germany still prepare the Schultüte, filling it with a mix of practical school supplies—like pencils, crayons and notebooks—along with small toys and sweets. Some parents choose to add surprises, such as colourful stickers, fun erasers, or a special book, while others prefer to keep it simple. It's up to the parents to decide the contents (内容物). In a word, the Schultüte doesn't need to be expensive but remains necessary, as it is a lovely tradition that celebrates a child's growth.

Science & Health

②Numbers keep us safe and healthy. Builders use special numbers like 3.14 (π) to make strong bridges that won't fall down. Doctors use numbers like 37℃ (normal body temperature) and 60-100 beats per minute (normal heartbeat) to check health.

          ▲          

③Numbers tell us about people. Did you know that Asia has around 4.8 billion people? That's more than half of all people on Earth! Leaders use these numbers to decide how many schools to build. In bad times, numbers help decide how much food or medicine is needed. Stores even use numbers to know which products sell well.

Everyday Uses

④We see numbers every day. When baking a cake, you need twice as much flour as sugar. At stores, a 20% discount means you can pay less money to buy the clothes. On the road, signs like "60 km/h tell drivers" the maximum speed. Dates also use numbers, like "June 26th".

⑤There are also some fun facts about numbers. People think differently about some numbers. In China, people believe that the number 8 means good fortune. Meanwhile, in some Western countries, people think 13 is unlucky.

⑥Numbers help us describe everything—from small things to huge stars. They are the world's special language.

In a town lived a kind baker (糕点师) named Thomas. Thomas always treated his customers kindly because he wanted to make them1.

One day, Mrs Gable came to Thomas' bakery. She was known for being fond of complaining.

"I need2 ten cookies—no more, no less," said Mrs Gable.

Thomas put ten cookies in a box and gave the box to Mrs Gable. Mrs Gable paid for them. As she turned to leave, she tripped (绊倒) over a stone. The box3 her hands and the cookies were everywhere on the ground.

Thomas rushed to help Mrs Gable and led her to a chair. "Please have a rest here," Thomas said. "I'll get you some4 cookies."

Thomas went back to the shelf and put some cookies into another box. Mrs Gable didn't5 Thomas and asked, "Are you sure there're ten cookies?"

Thomas smiled and said, "Sure. I think you can count them now."

Mrs Gable did it and found there were eleven cookies in the box.

"I'm afraid there's a6," Mrs Gable said. "I ordered ten."

"Yes, Mrs Gable," Thomas said with a warm smile. "After your little accident, I thought you needed a little7 to make you feel better."

Mrs Gable was8. She smiled and said, "Well, thank you, Thomas. It's very kind of you." From that day on, Mrs Gable became a regular9 at Thomas' bakery. She seldom complained and often10 others. She learned that a little kindness, like Thomas' cookie, could go a long way in making one's day better.

Some schools prepared some interesting labor skill classes for students. Some students from Chongqing had a class about catching fish in the river and learned about the geographical knowledge (地理知识) of the river at the same time. In a town called Fengyi, students made tofu with a millstone (磨盘). Of course, they tasted tofu after they made it. Students said they learned about the wisdom of the ancestors (祖先). "They were really clever. How did the ancestors even think about making this kind of food?" many of them asked.

Some students learn how to look after animals at home. They also learn the biological (生物的) knowledge of the animals.
