Last month we visited Perth, the biggest city in Western Australia, and went to a wild flowers' exhibition (展览). There we saw a large number of wild flowers we had never seen before. We had a wonderful time. Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. In spring every year Perth has the wild flowers' exhibition. After visiting Perth, we spent a day in the countryside. We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.

There are seven continents﹙洲﹚in the world. Among them, Antarctica﹙南极洲﹚is the most special one. It is a world of snow and ice all year round. China has sent many scientists there. They try to find resources﹙资源﹚under the icy land and study climate change and sea biology.
What do they eat?
Scientists don’t have many choices on what they eat. About 60% their food is frozen food. It is easy to heat﹙加热﹚。Meat is common on the menu, while vegetables are not usual. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, people often eat dried and canned vegetables.
How do they sleep?
In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this time, Antarctica faces the sun and gets sunlight 24 hours of the day. In order to get some sleep,scientists cover the window with black cloth to make “night”.
How do they work?
People can wear warm clothes to be against the cold weather, but they can do little with the strong wind. Sometimes, the wind is even stronger than a typhoon. It can easily blow people away.
So there are ropes﹙绳索﹚that connect some research stations. People can hold these ropes to keep balance in strong winds.
How do they keep in touch with others?
