Do you know the Nile River? It is the longest river in the world. It's about 6，670 kilometers long. Now we will have a special experiment. But nobody knows for sure who first suggested the ping­pong ball experiment along the Nile River. But some inventors and scientists will finish it. How is the experiment made, and what does it want to show?

The experiment will end when the ping­pong ball reaches the capital city of Egypt, Cairo. At that time, a student from one of the schools in Cairo will reach down into the Nile, and pick up the ping­pong ball. People will follow it all along its long journey. Scientists will follow it by driving along roads. They will keep many careful records of how far the ping­pong ball goes each day. It will be an interesting experiment.

Dear classmates，

Elephants are the largest mammals on land. They can live as long as 80 years old. However, these days the number of elephants is becoming much smaller. Because people cut down forests, they are losing their homes. Also, people kill them for their ivory. Elephants are in great danger. I think we should try our best to protect them. First, we should help make rules to stop people from killing elephants. Second, we shouldn't cut down trees. Third, we shouldn't buy anything made of ivory.

I believe everyone's contribution (贡献) can make a big difference.
