When you go camping, if your clothes are not right for you, they might bring lots of trouble to you. So to have a pleasant camping adventure(冒险), it’s important and necessary to wear comfortable clothes.

Well, what clothes should you choose to wear before going camping? First, the material of the clothes can allow the water to pass by it but doesn’t allow the water to go into it. On the other hand, when you go camping, the main problem that you have to face is to take away the wetness from the skin(皮肤). So, your clothes should be able to make the wetness go out. As a result, you’ll keep away from wearing wet clothes, and you will feel comfortable in the terrible weather.

One of the favorite materials of clothes is nylon(尼龙). It is light and will allow air to pass through easily. Besides, it is not easy to break. The most important requirement for people who’re preparing to go camping may be the kind of clothes which can keep them warm even in very cold weather. Nylon can have such uses.

Did you know that some fish have their own fishing rods? An anglerfish(琵琶鱼) uses its own fishing rod(杆) to go fishing! The anglerfish has a long fin(鳍) on the top of its head with a bit of flesh(肉）that hangs(悬挂）from it. This is called a lure(诱饵).The lure may have markings(花纹) that look like eyes, fins and scales(鳞). Fish that go for the lure probably think that it is a dinner. When they get close to it, the anglerfish eats them!

There’re about 210 species of anglerfish. All have some type of rod and lure. Most anglerfish live near the bottom of the sea and aren’t very good swimmers. They don’t need to be good swimmers because they can use their fins to pull themselves across the bottom of the sea.

Did you also know that some fish have mouths that are half the size of their bodies? A gulper eel(吞噬鳗）has! The gulper eel’s mouth takes up about half of its 0.6 to 1.8-metre-long body. It has no problem eating a fish almost as big as itself. The gulper eel is a fish that lives under the sea at depths(深度）of 1,980 meters or more. The sea is very dark and cold there。There isn’t a lot of food in this part of the ocean(海洋），which is why the gulper eel has a big mouth to help it catch food.

The gulper eel has a strange body. It has a giant mouth, a giant stomach and a long ,thin tail. If a big fish swims near the gulper fish, it makes its mouth even bigger to eat the big fish! The gulper eel fish has a tail that gives off light. Its prey(猎物）will move towards this light.

五、回答问题(每小题2分，共10分)

Dear Wang Fang

Thank you for your letter. You wrote to ask me about American social customs(风俗) in their dinner party. You are asking the right person. I once lived in America for five years. Now I’ll tell you something about it.

It’s a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers and a bottle of wine are nice, because most of Americans like drinking it. You should arrive on time or five to minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you’re going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call before.

Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don’t know about choosing the right fork or knife, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, ask the person beside you .If you like the food, say so. Of course, you’ll thank them for the meal and for their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a card to thank them the day after.
