21、   The Flame Mountain（火焰山）is about 200 km away from Urumqi in Xinjiang. It is in a place with many high mountains around it. It is much hotter than nearby places. If you want to enjoy the feeling of a hot shower in summer, it's the right place to go!

On hot summer days, it can get hotter than 80℃. Try to cook eggs or cakes in the sand and they will be ready in a few minutes!

Does rain help make it cooler? People hardly see rain in 10 out of the 12 months in a year. Why? For most of the time, the raindrops dry in the hot air before they reach the ground.

The mountain came into being millions of years ago when the earth was changing a lot. We can't see any plants on the top of the mountain, only red rocks. They make the whole mountain look red. In hot air and strong sunshine, the mountain looks like a burning flame. That's where its name comes from.

22、   In some Western countries, many children do chores to get pocket money (零花钱). They usually start to do this when they are ten years old.

School students have to do homework and study for tests. They don’t have much free time on weekdays. They often do chores on weekends.

Young kids only do easy chores. So they don’t get much money. But that’s enough (足够的). Many of them only want to buy candy (糖果). And candy is cheap! They often help do the dishes, sweep the floor, or feed the pet cat or dog.

When they get older, they want to buy more and more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy. So they have to work harder! They often help their parents wash the family car, cut the grass, or cook meals.

Some jobs are a good way for kids to learn new things. For example, they can learn how to use a lawnmower (割草机) or how to cook. Of course, their parents help them at first.

23、   It's incredible to think that people haven't even been using the Internet for 30 years. When the Internet was first used, you had to connect through a telephone line and it could be very slow.Things have changed a lot since then. Today nearly four billion people have a mobile gadget(小器具), such as a smartphone, a tablet, or both. And with Wi­Fi in many public spaces, it's easier than ever to connect.

Many agree that mobile gadgets and the apps on them are useful. They make our lives so much easier. We can do things like searching for a word in the dictionary or using a flashlight with just the swipe of a finger! At any time and place, we can send and receive e­mails, play games, or look up information. We can also share photos and videos or chat with friends and family using mobile technology. Smartphones have made it possible to send texts. By 2015, people were sending eight trillion texts per year. It's now the most popular way to communicate.

Because it's so useful, people spend a lot of time on the Internet. Probably too much time! In fact, the average person is online for almost four and a half hours each day. We connect to the Internet with a smartphone more than any other device. Some people worry that we spend too much time with our gadgets. What about you? Do you spend too much time on the Internet?

24、Who is the oldest man in the world? Where is the world’s highest waterfall? To find the answers, you can check the Guinness World Records book.

The idea of the book came from a British man named Sir Hugh Beaver. He and his friends once argued about which European game bird was the fastest. They failed to find the answer in any book. Later, the twins Norris and Ross McWhirter were invited to write a book of facts and figures. Neither of them knew that the book would become an all-time bestseller.

Since it was first published in 1955, more than 100 million copies of the book have been sold in almost 40 languages, and a new edition(版本) comes out every year.

Many people have tried to get into the book. There are 50,000 applications(申请) from 174 countries every year, according to the Guinness organization.

Anyone who thinks he or she has a very special skill or talent can apply for a Guinness record. After that, Guinness judges will evaluate(评估) your application. After many rounds of research and verification(查证), they will finally send you an official Guinness World Records certificate(证书)!

The person who holds the most Guinness records is Ashrita Furman from the US. Furman now holds nearly 200 records, including the record for holding the most Guinness records.
