My name is Lily. I love more than anything. Every weekend, I try to different natural sites near my home. Last week, I went to a forest with my dad. It was a place, with tall trees and small rivers.
We found a small cave, which was an unexpected . Inside, we could strange rock shapes that looked like animals. My dad told me these rocks were formed over thousands of years. I felt so excited to see such a magical place.
I used to think natural wonders were only faraway places, now I know there are amazing things right around us. I also learn a lot from these trips, like how plants grow without much water.
Next month, I plan to a famous waterfall with my classmates. I'm sure it will be an experience. I hope everyone takes time to enjoy the beauty of nature and more about the world around us.

18、 阅读以下短文,从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出一个与短文内容相符的最佳选项。
The Dead Sea is one of the saltiest places on earth. Although it is a lake, it is called a "sea" due to its lack of fresh water.
Why is the Dead Sea so salty? One reason is that it is about 430.5 meters below sea level. A long time ago, salt water flowed into the Dead Sea. Now, water from the Jordan River flows into the Dead Sea. With no outlet (出口), the water evaporates (蒸发) under the hot sun, leaving salt behind.
Scientists say that the Dead Sea is falling. Its water level is dropping by 3.3 feet per year. People are using more water from the river. Less fresh water enters the lake every year.
Lakes are usually filled with life. But the Dead Sea lives up to its name. Nothing lives there. There are no plants. No birds or animals can drink the water. If fish from the river swim into the Dead Sea by mistake, they will die. The water kills almost everything. It is saltier than ocean water.
People like to visit this lake. There are hotels and beaches. People like to float (漂浮) on the salt water. The salt water holds them up as if they were lying on rafts (木筏)! Some tourists even like to read books as they float on the water. They are covered with salt when they come out of the water.
