Many people think the camel stores only water in its hump（驼峰）,but it does not,Instead,the camel stores something else there----food.The camel’s hump is really a hump of fat.When the camel,often called”a ship of the desert”,is not travelling and is in a place where there is plenty of food and water,it eats and drinks a lot. As it does so, its hump rises from the fat its body makes. Then when the camel is travelling through the desert and when there is little food,it can live off the stored fat.
A camel can go on for days or weeks with little feed or water.However its hunger reaches the point starvation(饿死),its hump shrinks（收缩） and may even slip off its back and hang down its side.

Watson won his most important game and became Southern Chess Master（南部象棋大师） in 1977.He was given the silver（银） cup.
