People call Earth the "water planet".
That's because the ocean covers over 70 percent of Earth. The ocean is very important. It helps us in many ways.
The ocean is like Earth's lungs (肺). It makes over half of the world's oxygen (氧气). Also, the ocean takes in 50 times more carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) than our atmosphere (大气层).
There are some canals (运河) in the oceans. By using these canals, people can move things from one country to another. This is usually cheaper than moving things by plane. Thanks to the canals, you can have chocolate from Switzerland and milk from New Zealand.
The ocean also keeps Earth warm. It takes in and stores heat from the sun. Then the water in the ocean carries that heat around Earth. Without oceans, Earth would be an icy rock. Also, by moving water around Earth, the ocean helps keep places from getting too hot or too cold.
Besides, the ocean gives us different kinds of seafood and vegetables, such as fish, shrimp and kelp.
(1)、Why is Earth called the "water planet"?A、It is full of seafood. B、It has plenty of oxygen. C、It has many icy rocks. D、It is mostly covered by oceans.(2)、What can we know about the ocean?A、It works the same as planes. B、It has less carbon dioxide. C、It makes most of the oxygen on Earth.

Most lakes in the world have irregular(不规则的) shapes. However, the lake namedKingsley in Florida, USA, is surprising to many scientists because of its shape.
Kingsley Lake is one of the best fishing places in Florida, but few people know what really makes it special is its unusually round shape. The lake may be the roundest lake in the world. In fact, we can only see its round shape when we are high above the lake.
What caused Kingsley Lake to have this special shape? Some people think humans changed its structure. However, in fact, humans didn't do anything to the lake. People believe it formed as a sinkhole(落水洞). It also appears that the movement of rocks gave the lake its present shape.
According to the survey, the lake has an unchanging water level because of its drainage(排水) system. This system helps the floodwater easily run from the lake to the areas around.Also, the lake has many shallow(浅的) water areas, so it can be filled with water again.
