The Dead Sea is one of the most unusual and fascinating natural places on our planet. Unlike common seas that teem with fish and sea plants, it has almost no living things. This is why its name the "Dead Sea" comes from. Geographically, it is located between Jordan (约旦) and Israel (以色列), in the dry part of the Middle East. It's surrounded by rocky hills. That adds to its unique landscape.
Covering an area of about 605 square kilometers, the Dead Sea's size isn't always the same. It changes slightly each year. This is mainly because of changes in rainfall; less rain means less water flowing into the sea. And also because towns and farms near it need more and more water. It is about 1,000 feet (英尺) deep. The deepest part of the Dead Sea is about 1,300 feet, making it one of the deepest salty lakes in the world.
The Dead Sea has a high salt level, about 8 times saltier than the ocean. This high salt content (高盐分含量) creates strong buoyancy (浮力), letting people float (漂浮) easily on its surface even if they can't swim. For many years, this special character has attracted millions of visitors from all over the world. Some come to experience the fun of floating.
Sadly, the Dead Sea is facing a big problem: It is becoming smaller and smaller. Every year, its surface level drops a little. Protecting this natural wonder has become more important than ever.

When you first hear about the Dead Sea, it might sound scary, but the truth is quite different. Let's get closer to the Dead Sea and learn more about it.
The Dead Sea is located in Southwest Asia. It is about 50 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide at its widest point. It sits at about 430 meters below sea level, making it the lowest point on earth's land.
What's interesting is that the Dead Sea isn't actually a sea. It's a lake. The salt concentration (盐浓度) in it is more than 30 percent, which is about eight times saltier than typical seawater. This makes it one of the saltiest bodies of water on earth.
The Dead Sea stays so salty because of its special natural conditions. Each year, it receives very little rainfall, and only a small amount of freshwater flows into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea causes the freshwater to evaporate (蒸发) quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher. For these reasons, it is also known as the Salt Sea.
If you are to swim in the Dead Sea, you won't see any sea life — no plants or animals. The high salt concentration makes it impossible for them to live there. That's actually why it's called the Dead Sea.
However, don't let the name or not having any sea life scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can't swim, you won't die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well, without the need for life buoys (救生圈) . In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the lakeside, you'll likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or magazines.
(1)、What do we know about the Dead Sea?A、It is the largest place in Asia. B、It is the widest sea in the world. C、It is the deepest point in America. D、It is the lowest lake on earth's land.(2)、What makes the Dead Sea so salty?A、A lot of seawater runs into it. B、Human activities improve the salt levels. C、Little rainfall and rapid evaporation of freshwater. D、The high temperature stops the water from freezing.(3)、Why do people call it the Dead Sea?A、Because they cannot swim in it. B、Because it has something dangerous. C、Because it has the low salt concentration. D、Because no plants or animals can live in it.(4)、What does the underlined word "float" probably mean?A、Sing in the room. B、Stay above water. C、Fly in the sky. D、Walk on the road.(5)、What can we infer from the last paragraph?A、People feel scared when swimming in the Dead Sea. B、The Dead Sea is dangerous for people who can't swim. C、If people can't swim, they'll still be safe in the Dead Sea. D、A life buoy is necessary when swimming in the Dead Sea. -

The 24 Solar Terms: Wisdom from Nature
The 24 Solar Terms is an ancient calendar system developed by Chinese people to guide farming activities. It is based on the changes of nature, such as the position of the sun, the temperature and the growth of plants. For thousands of years, it has been an important part of Chinese culture and daily life.
The 24 Solar Terms start with Start of Spring and ends with Major Cold. Each term lasts about 15 days. They reflect the changes of seasons, climate and natural phenomena. For example, Grain in Ear is a term when wheat is ripe and ready to be harvested. Minor Heat and Major Heat are the hottest periods of the year, while Minor Cold and Major Cold are the coldest.
The 24 Solar Terms not only guides farming but also affects people's eating habits and health. On Start of Spring, many people eat spring pancakes to welcome the new season. On Start of Winter, dumplings are a popular food in northern China. People also adjust their daily activities according to the terms.
