The capybara, a kind of animal from South America, is the largest living rodent(啮齿目动物) in the world. It lives along the lakes and rivers. It can grow up to about 1.3m etres long and weigh up to 79kg. It looks like a large mouse with a big nose, strong legs, small ears and a very short tail.

Do you know what makes the capybara such a friendly animal?
As the largest rodent animal in the world, the capybara has only a few enemies(敌人). Because of this, it spends most of the day swimming in the water and lying by the river, together with other animals. It lives such a comfortable life that nothing seems to make it worry.
For most animals, it's safe to stay around the capybara. The capybara never eats meat. It mainly eats fruit and some plants, so it won't hurt other animals. The capybara can even help other animals to keep safe. It can notice the danger more easily and the strong legs can help it run away more quickly. When other animals see that, they can also hide(躲藏) themselves in time.
Sometimes, the capybara is happy to be"the animal bus". It's common to see other animals riding on the back of a capybara. That's because these animals can help make the capybara clean by eating the lice(虱子) on its body.

All of the villagers came out to see the hole. They looked inside, but it was dark and nobody could see anything. What happened? Was it a fox hole?
A young man was so surprised that he shouted at the hole, "Hey, come out!" However, only his voice came back from the hole. Then, he picked up a small rock(岩石) and threw(扔) it down the hole. But, still, nothing came out.
To find out the fact of the hole, the villagers asked a scholar(学者) for help. After looking over the hole, he found nothing, but he tried to look confident, and said for sure, "It's no problem to fill(填充) it up!"
Seeing this, a businessman came up and offered to buy the hole with lots of money. Later, he built up a company called"Hole-Filling Company". He told everyone the company could hold any litter but they had to pay for it.
From then on, more and more people came here to put their litter into the hole:
Hospitals got here to throw the dead people.
The government put all the dirty water into the hole.
…
Slowly, the sea and sky became beautifully blue. Under this clear sky, more and more buildings were built up.
One day, a worker was working on the top of a tall building. Looking at the blue sky, clear water and green plants, he was happy that the city was getting more and more beautiful.
Suddenly, he heard a strange shout above his head, "Hey, come out!"
However, when he looked up, he found nothing. When he sat down for a rest, a rock flew down in front of him from the direction(方向) of the strange shout. He picked it up and wanted to know why it came from the sky.
Of course, he didn't know anything about the rock. Only the young man in the village could know that: it was the same rock that he threw into the hole.
Several days later, the sky was not as beautifully blue as before. More and more litter fell down from the sky-dead people, dirty water...

Question: How can I remember new words?
I'm learning English. It's difficult for me to remember new words. Could you help me with that?
Best answer: Here are two ways to help you.
☆Vocabulary Book
Vocabulary Book is a kind of notebook. In the book, you can write down the new words you want to learn. Next to the word, write down its part of speech (n./ v./ adj./ adv./ …) and its English meaning. Try to understand the new word in English, not in your mother language. You can also write down the synonym of the new word to better understand or remember it. For example, the word great is a synonym of the word excellent.
☆ Word Map
Word Map is a useful way to connect your vocabulary together. In this way, you can remember more words for a longer time. There are different kinds of word maps, such as:
Thank you. I find the ways are useful.
My vocabulary book:
