Today Dubai is one of the world's most important business centers. In fact, each year the city gets its money mainly from business, not oil.

Recently Dubai has attracted more and more visitors from abroad. They come to relax on its beaches, and every year, millions visit just to go shopping!

Dubai is also one of the world's fastest growing cities. Many tall buildings are built in months. The city also has many man-made islands. One of these, the Palm Jumeirah, is like a palm tree（棕桐树）and is very beautiful.

The city is still an amazing mix（混合体）of people from different countries. The people from 150 countries live and work in Dubai, and foreigners now outnumber Dubai natives（本地人）by eight to one!

Many people welcome the city's growth. But an increasing number of Dubai natives worry about the speed of change. As a Dubai native says, "We must always remember where we came from. Our kids must know we worked very, very hard to get where we are now, and there's a lot more work to do."

The Loch Ness Monster is a famous legend (传说). The first story about a monster in Loch Ness was told over 500 years ago, but the legend of the monster spread widely only in the twentieth century. In 1933, a husband and wife reported that they saw a big monster in the middle of the lake. Since then, a number of people have said that they have seen a monster in Loch Ness. Several people have taken photos, but at least one of them was a hoax (骗局). During the 1960s, a team was formed to look for the monster. They took many photos and made movies, but they were never able to find a monster.

There is no real fact that a monster lives in Loch Ness, but there is also no fact that one doesn't live. One thing is true about Loch Ness: there are a lot of tourists there.

"I went to try to pick it up and it bit me again. I threw it 5 the kitchen，and it landed in the fridge，so I closed the door. "Mr. Jackson said.

Then Mr. Jackson remembered his mobile phone photo. The doctors9 it to London Zoo. When they knew the kind of snake，they could give Mr. Jackson the right medicine，and he left hospital the next day.

So my advice is this: If a snake bites you，pick up your phone. Take10 photo first and then show the photo to the doctors." suggests Mr. Jackson. "Oh，and if the snake doesn't smile for the photo，don't worry！"

It started at around 12:30 in the afternoon, and people first knew it when all the traffic lights went out at the same time. All the stores were without electricity, making it impossible for people to buy anything. To everyone's surprise, people acted calmly (冷静地). Although the traffic lights went out, the roads still worked well. That is because both drivers and walkers showed great politeness to each other and the police came quickly to help control the traffic.

People had different opinions about the blackout. Some hoped things would return to normal quickly, mainly because they didn't want to lose their food in the fridges. Others said there was something good about it. Because schools were closed and there was no TV or Internet, children ran outside to play. Parks and gardens were full of families having fun together. The children enjoyed outdoor games again—something they didn't do for a long time.

Finally, the lights were back on at 21:45 and the streets rang with cheers. The blackout teaches us a valuable lesson: the brightest light is never from electricity, but from the warmth of human kindness and community spirit.

How was it made? Millions of years ago, the ground under the sand started to rise up. Then, wind and rain slowly wore away the soft rocks (岩石), leaving the hard ones behind. Over time, these hard rocks formed the beautiful circles we see today. From above, you can count about 10 round circles, each one has a different color. The biggest circle is on the outside, with smaller ones inside.

But the Eye of the Sahara is in trouble. The desert is very dry, and sandstorms often blow over it. The sand can make the rocks difficult to see. Also, not many people know about this amazing place because it's far from big cities.

What can we do to help? Scientists are studying the Eye to find ways to conserve the rocks from sand. Some people also suggest building a small road or a simple visitor center nearby. This way, more kids and tourists can come and see the Eye of the Sahara.

WeChat (微信) is becoming1 with people in China. No matter where we are, we can send words or voice messages to2 friends. We can also find strangers to talk to by shaking the phones.3 funny function (功能) is that WeChat can help search for people nearby. Many people like this function4 it can help them make more friends.

In my opinion, WeChat is really a useful tool. It5 help us talk and share ideas with our friends easily. However, it is also bad for people, especially students. As we know, some people use WeChat6 a long time. It is not healthy for them. So I have some7 to use it in a correct way.

8, we should not use it when we are studying. We can't focus (集中) on our study if we use it. Second, we must be careful. We should not show too much personal information (个人信息) to strangers.
