　　The Wilsons decided to go overseas for vacation. They had a family meeting(會議) to plan the vacation. “First,” Mr Wilson said, “we should decide where we are going.”

　　“I don’t agree,” Mrs Wilson said, “I think we should decide when we are going first. We don’t want to go to places when they are cold.” Mr Wilson agreed, so the family’s first decision was when to go on vacation. They decided to go in July.

　　“Now we can decide where to go,” said Mr Wilson.

　　“But, Dad,” Ben said, “don’t you think that where we go depends on how we go? If we plan to fly, we can go a long way. If we plan to drive, we can’t go far.”

　　Again, Mr Wilson agreed, and they discussed this. At last they agreed to travel by plane.

And so the planning meeting went on. The next day, one of Mr Wilson’s friends at work asked, “Where are you going for vacation?”

　　“Well,” Mr Wilson told him, “we are going in summer by plane, but I don’t know where we are going!”

　　Why is more and more land becoming deserts?
　　Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to
bring water to the deserts, so people can live and grow food there. They are
learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more of the earth are becoming
deserts all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the deserts in time.
　　Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the
earth. (1)Some places on the earth do not get very much rain. But they still do
not become deserts. This is because some green plants are growing there. Small
green plants and grass are very important to dry places. Plants do not let the hot
sun make the earth even drier. Plants do not let the wind blow the soil away.
(2)When a little bit of rain falls, the plants hold the water. Without plants, the
land can become a desert much more easily.
