  What do you know about the sea? Most of us have seen it. We know that it looks very pretty when the sun is shining on it. We also know that it can be very rough (洶涌的) when there is strong wind. What other things do we know about it?

  The first thing to remember is that the sea is very big. When you look at the map of the world, you'll find there is more sea than land. The sea covers three-quarters of the world!

  The sea is also very deep in some places. It is not deep everywhere. Some parts of the sea are very shallow (淺的). But in some places the depth of the sea is very great. There is one spot, near Japan, where the sea is nearly 11 kilometres deep! The highest mountain (山) in the world is about 9 kilometres high. If that mountain were put into the sea at that place, there would be 2 kilometres of water above it! What a deep place!

  If you have swum in the sea, you know that it is salty (咸的). You can taste the salt. Rivers, which flow into the sea, carry salt from the land into the sea. Some parts of the sea are more salty than other parts. There is one sea, called the Dead Sea, which is very salty. It is so salty that swimmer cannot sink (下沉)! Fish cannot live in the Dead Sea. What a strange sea!

  In most of the sea, there are plenty of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down. There are also millions of tiny living things (微生物) afloat (漂浮) in the sea. These floating things are so small that it is hard to see them. Many fish live by eating these.

A. True or False?

1.There is more sea than land in the world.

2.The sea looks very pretty when there is strong wind.

3.Every part of the sea is very deep.

4.The sea carries salt into rivers.

  Most American students have said goodbye to fancy(高級的)fruits these days.In school canteens across the country, cheaper fruits like apples and oranges have taken their places.

  “People are afraid to spend now,” said Linda Morrow, who owns a shoe and handbag store.“They don't know what the future will bring.”

  During the financial crisis(金融危機), several of the country's biggest banks have been forced to sell or close.This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive goods.

  Samira Marino, a restaurant owner in Miami, has found everyone is ordering water instead of juice and more people are sharing meals.In more than two dozen interviews with The Associated Press across the country last month, Americans talked about their concerns, from worries about small businesses to doubts about simply making ends meet.

  The crisis began last year.Experts think it was because US banks lend money too easily.Last year a lot of people and companies, who borrowed money, have found themselves unable to pay it back.This left the banks, as well as the people who put their money in the banks, without money.Since the banks borrowed money between themselves and even across borders(國界), the whole world was in trouble.

  This month the US government agreed on a $700 billion plan to try to save the financial market.But no one is sure whether it will help or not.President George W.Bush has warned it will take some time.

  Last week top finance officials from 20 countries promised to work together to find a way out of the money trouble.
