Little stream ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests．Then it reached a desert，"I went through so many difficulties．I should have no problem crossing the desert，" she thought．As she started，she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand．After many tries，she still failed．"Maybe I can' t reach the ocean，" she said sadly to herself．
At this time，a deep voice said，"If a breeze （微风） can cross the desert，so can a river．"
It was the voice of the desert．But the little stream answered，"A breeze can fly，but I can' t．" "That' s because you can' t give up what you are．Let yourself evaporate （蒸发） into the breeze，and it can take you across，" said the desert．"Give up what I am now？ No! No!" The little stream could not accept this idea．"The breeze can carry the vapor （蒸汽） across the desert and let it leave as rain．The rain will form a river again，" said the desert．"And whether you are a river or vapor，your nature never changes．" Hearing this，the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze．It carried her to the next stage of her life．

There are countless myths（神话） to explain how the world came to have a moon to bring light to the night time． But now there is a plan for a man﹣made moon． It will give us far more light than the natural Moon．
China is preparing to put a man﹣made moon in the sky above Chengdu by 2020． It will reflect sunlight back onto the Earth． If it succeeds， three more such objects will be sent out in 2022， according to Wu Chunfeng， a space scientist． Wu said it would be similar to how we get moonlight， but he predicted that the man﹣made moon would have eight times the brightness of the real one． "This is because the object will be about 500 kilometers above the Earth． That will make it a lot closer to us than the Moon， which is over 380，000 kilometers away，" Wu added．
If the plan works， the man﹣made moon will save a lot of power．Scientists predict that Chengdu could save around 1.2 billion yuan in electricity every year if a new moon lit up 50 square kilometers of the city．And in 2022， four man﹣made moons can take tuns to work as they will not always be in the best position （位置） relative to the Sun． Together， they can give light to an area of up to 6.400 square kilometers on the Earth for 24 hours． That means its brightness will be seen in most areas in China， reducing the need for streetlights．

In the last passage we've already talked about some dangerous plants， but we don't want to give anyone the wrong idea． The truth is that some plants can hurt you， but most are completely harmless． In fact， there are plenty of plants that are actually very useful to humans．
That is why plants are so popular in Chinese medicine． Chinese medicine has been using plants for at least 4，800 years． One of the most popular plants in Chinese medicine is ginseng（人参）．Doctors of Chinese medicine believe that ginseng can help your lungs （肺），clean your blood and do many other things．Ginseng also provides energy for people． In fact， many modern energy drinks that you see in stores have ginseng．
