The giant crab isn't like the crabs you may have seen at the beach. These giant crabs are usually about eight feet across, although some grow to almost that size!
Giant spider crabs, which are the biggest kind of crab in Japan, have long legs like a spider. Each leg can make several pounds of crab meat, and the giant spider crabs makes a very meal.

In America, history is still a required subject at lower levels and students still choose to study it at higher levels. However, there is an ongoing discussion about whether schools should continue to teach History or whether they should spend the money on other subject. This article will deal with the arguments against and in favour of teaching History in school, concluding that we should teach History.
Many of my classmates suggest that History is one of the less interesting school subjects and that governments should spend the time and money on subjects that are more useful. They argue that Maths and English are more important so we can have a society with a good basic education. Others say that we should spend the money on teaching Science, as this can move a country forward and benefit the economy.
Yet, there are a number of reasons why it is a good idea to teach History. Teaching History is important because students should be able to understand the background to present situations in the news. This will create better-informed citizens. Another reason is that it helps pupils to understand their culture and background, which also helps them to understand the society they live in. In addition to learning about the past, History can help students to think for themselves. Finally, it also improves pupils' reading and writing skills, which can help them become better students.
In conclusion, although there are clear arguments on both sides, it seems to me that teachers should teach children about the past because the value of the subject goes beyond the classroom. I would say that the teaching of History helps to create generations of well-educated and knowledgeable individuals.

They really wanted to go, but they didn't think their parents would agree. Emily explained to her parents that she wanted to go to the concert with Kim ,but they thought that she was too young to go without1.
Emily told Kim that she could not go to the concert, but her friend's answer was a real2to Emily. Kim told her mum she would study with friends on Friday.
"I really do not want to be dishonest with my parents," Emily told her friend.
"Oh,3acting like a little kid! Everyone lies," Kim replied.
But Emily was not so sure. She thought that honesty was very important. Emily never felt comfortable lying, and her parents always told her that it was wrong.
On Thursday, Kim invited Emily over to her house to watch a movie after school. When they got there, Kim and her mother got into a fight. Emily realized that Kim lied to her mother4and her mother did not trust her. Emily had to go back home.

In nature, you may see many insects and animals of different colors. Have you ever wondered why? Locusts(蝗虫)are super delicious f for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies. The reason is that the colors of locusts cwith the colors of crops. When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.
Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can't be seen e by their enemies. This is because they have colors similar to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil insects are mostly dark-colored and they live under the soil(土壤)in a dark and wet e. However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to s, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.
Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts? The ink fish(墨鱼)in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over, its enemies will find t suddenly in a dark world. At the same time the ink fish immediately swims away. That is how it keeps itself s though it is not strong at all.
The Moments (朋友圈. section of WeChat has become a popular part of the social networking platform (平台.. You can share everything about your life on it with your friends. Some students had a discussion on whether to allow our parents to see our moments.
Yes |
No |
Stella, 16: I think it's meaningful to let parents see our Moments. Some say that without parents' involvement (参与., they feel free when sharing things online. However, as teenagers, sometimes we do need our parents' guidance, especially in term of social experiences. What's more, shutting them off may make the generation gap bigger and bigger, while inviting them in can help us communicate and feel closer to each other. Denny, 16: Most of my friends keep their parents out of their Moments. They argue that if their parents get involved, they will feel upset. However, I feel happy when my parents comment(评论. on my posts in my Moments. It shows their love and care for me. It also makes them happy and stops them from worrying about me. We'll leave them when we grow up. Why not cherish (珍惜. every opportunity to interact (互动. with them? |
Robin, 16: I don't allow my parents to see my Moments. Everyone needs some privacy and we all have our own secrets and lifestyles. If my parents could see my posts there, they may push me around with their ideas, nagging (唠叨. at me to do as they wished, which would be unacceptable to me even though it would show their love and care. After all, appropriate distance unites the family better. Laura, 16: I believe blocking (屏蔽. our parents in Moments is not a bad idea, as the generation gap can be a great problem. Online social media is mainly a way of communicating with friends of our own age. We can have more freedom to develop our thoughts and interests. Besides, we don't have to worry about our parents' presence. To enable them to read our daily posts would create a lot of misunderstandings. |
