...::!!JO
Dinosaurs lived on lhe earth for 135 million years. They appeared 200 million
years ago, and they disappeared 65 miliion years ago. They were the l argest
animals ever Iive on earth, and l hey ruled lh e earth for a very long period of tim e.
Dinosaurs lived in North Arnerica, in Africa, and in Europe. During this tim e, the
land in North America was under a large, shallow sea. Many-jdinosaurs
lived in
,
the water, which helped to hold up lh eir greal weight. The earí y dinosaurs wa lked
on two feel, and l hey al e meat. The later dinosaurs were larger,.and walked on
four feet. Some of the later dinosaurs ate plants only. The Steqosa unis was very
iarge. It was a plant eater, but it was often in danger from · the meat- eating
dinosaurs. 1\ developed scales along its back to protecl itself. The Slegos aurus
was so large that il took a long time for messages to l ravel from its brain to its legs.
6
•
To solve lhis problem, il developed a second brain by its back legs lo control its leg
movements.
Why did dinosaurs die out? Nobody knows for sure, Probably a change in the
wealher made serious problems far them , About 70 miliion years ago, the Rocky
Mountains formed in Norlh América. The plant life and the weather chanqed.
Perhaps lhe dinosaurs couldn't change fasl enouqh.
People who like dinosaurs can see fossils in Dinosaur Nalional park. This park is
in Ulah and Colorado, Fossils are bones which have become stone, Fossils have
taught us a lot about lhese greal animals of the past,

The Tita nic
In 1912, the Titanic hil an iceberg on its firsl lrip across lhe Atlanl ic, and il sank
four hours later. Al lhal li me, the Titanic was the largest ship lhal had ever
lravelled on lhe sea, It was earrying 2207 people, but it had taken on enough
lifeboats for only 1178 people. When lhe passengers lried lo leave the ship, only
651 of lhem were able lo get inlo lifeboats,
The Carpathia was 58 miles away when the Titanic calied on its radio for help, 11
arrived two hours after lh e great ship had gane down, and it saved 705 people.

not yet received their liteboat numbers, nor had they practiced liteboat drill befare
the accident. Many of lh em had not even dressed warmly, for lhe ship had hit the
iceberg late at night, and they dldn' t believe lhey were in danger.
The ship had already received six ice warnings on its radio when it struck the
iceberg. Neverlheless, it had not changed íts direction or its speed. 11 was
impossible lo change direction quickly enough when lh e iceberg carne in sight.
