　　Firstly, what were dinosaurs?

　　Dinosaurs lived on Earth a long time age; some dinosaurs were huge and had long tails-they were bigger than a whole family of elephants. Others were very small-they were about the size of a chicken. Not all dinosaurs ate meat. Some just ate plants. Not all of them were dangerous. Some were harmless.

　　When did they live on earth?

　　Dinosaurs lived on Earth for about 135 million years. Man has lived here for only 35,000 years About 65 million years ago, however, all the dinosaurs died in a very short period of time. Nobody knows why it happened suddenly.

　　How do we know about dinosaurs?

　　Scientists study dinosaur bones and eggs to get information. They discover how dinosaurs lived, what they looked like, where they lived and what they ate. Scientists now believe that dinosaurs were very colorful animals.

　　Were they clever animals?

　　In the past, scientists thought that dinosaurs were slow and stupid. We now know that many dinosaurs were fast and powerful. Some were not only fast, but clever too. They used the long claws on their feet to kill their food. Other dinosaurs were probably very stupid. One very large dinosaur had a brain the size of a peanut!

　　Do you think they could ever live on Earth again?

　　In the Hollywood film Jurassic Park, a scientist brings dinosaurs back to life from an old egg. Scientists in China recently found some dinosaur eggs similar to the one in the film. Could they bring dinosaurs back to life? It is unlikely, but in science, anything seems possible!

　　What is blood? Blood is a thick, red fluid which carries oxygen, water and
food to all parts of the body. It keeps the body at the right temperature (溫度) and
protects it from disease.
　　If you lose a lot of blood, you need new blood. You can receive new blood
from other people. This is called a blood transfusion (輸送).
　　People can donate (捐獻(xiàn)) blood at a Red Cross Blood Bank. People who
give blood are called blood donors (捐獻(xiàn)者). Some people sell their blood but
many others donate it.
　　Donating blood doesn’t hurt you and it doesn’t take long. First a nurse take a
drop of blood from your finger and tests it. She does this to make sure that your
blood is healthy. Then you lie down on a bed and another nurse checks your
blood pressure (血壓). After that the nurse puts a needle into a vein in your arm.
The needle is attached to a tube. The blood flows through the tube into a plastic
bag. After about 10 minutes, when the bag is full, the nurse takes the needle out of
your arm. You stay on the bed and rest for a few minutes. Finally you go into
another room and have something to eat.
　　For a healthy person, donating blood is not harmful or painful. But the
blood he or she donates may save someone's life.

________________________________
