When they are babies, they are interested in the p

15、arts of their bodies and in the smiles of their mothers. Then they become interested in the physical world around them: the plants, the animals, the sky.

19、uscles need more nutrition and oxygen. Then the heart beats fast and sends blood quickly to the muscles.

20、s. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls into cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask, “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year.” Scientists a

25、glish Channel in both directions. Now, at age 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast. On that fourth morning of July in 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so thick that she could hardly see her support boats. Sharks swam toward

Still thawing(使变暖和)her chilled body several hours later, she told a reporter, “Look, Im not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it.
