The sea looks very beautiful when the sun is shining on it. But it can be very terrible when there is a strong wind. The sea is very big. It covers three quarters of the earth. The sea is also very deep in some places. In one place, the sea is about 11 kilometres deep. The highest mountain(山) in the world is about nine kilornetres high. If that mountain was put into the sea at that place, there would still be two kilometres of water above it!
In most parts of the sea,there are plenty of fishes and plants (植物). Some live near the top of the sea.Others live deep down. There are also a lot of small living things,and lots of fish live by eating them. The sea can be very cold. When people go down, the sea becomes colder and colder. Only some men can go down into the deep sea. But,in 1970,five women scientists lived in the deep sea for fourteen days.

Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.　　
This is an old English saying. Have you heard of it before? It means that we must go to bed early and get up early in the morning. Then we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich (wealthy) and clever (wise).　　
This is true. The body must have enough sleep to be healthy. Children of young age should have ten hours’ sleep every night. Children who do not have enough sleep cannot do their work very well. They will not be wise and they may not become wealthy!　　
The body also needs exercise. Walking, running, jumping, swimming and playing games are all exercise. Exercise keeps the body strong. Exercise also helps the blood (血液) to move around inside the body. This is very important. Our blood takes food to all parts of our body. The head also needs blood .Exercise helps us to think better!　　
【小题1】If we get up early and go to bed early , we’ll _________ .
