Bringing Dinosaurs to Life
赵闯——一个“复活”恐龙的艺术家。
MANY
young
children admire powerful things. So did Zhao
Chuang. One
day when
he
was in
primary
school, he read a book about dinosaurs. A T. rex
(
霸王龙
) picture caught his
fancy.
Zhao lived in a
small town. There weren’t many books to read.
Almost all dinosaur books Zhao
could
find were in English. So the boy had a dream. “I
wanted to draw more dinosaur books —
in
Chinese,” he said.
And he has don
e just that.
Now, at the age of 34, Zhao is a famous “dinosaur
artist.” His works
combine science and
art. Through these works, children can easily
learn more about dinosaurs.
Every day, Zhao spends hours studying
dinosaurs. Sometimes, the artist travels to places
where
fossils have been found. He wants
to understand dinosaurs’ living environment
better.
In 2006, one of
Zhao’s works appeared on the cover of the famous
Nature magazine. Since then,
his works
have been sought after around the globe. Zhao has
also held lots of exhibitions at home
and abroad.

A Beach That Looks Good to Eat
< br>新年假期，西班牙“爆米花”海滩成“网红打卡地”
。
FUERTEVENTURA
(
富埃特文图拉岛
)
IN
SPAIN
is
most
famous
for
its
fine
white
beaches.
However, few people
know that it also has one of the world’s most
wonderful attractions: Popcorn
Beach.
As its name suggests,
Popcorn Beach is covered with millions of white
“popcorn” pieces. But don’t
put them in
your mouth! They
are actually pieces of white
coral
(
珊瑚
). Although they look
like
popcorn, the pieces are as hard as
stones.
Popcorn Beach has
been around for centuries. It has become popular
in recent years. Walking on
stones
is
not
as
comfo
rtable
as
walking
on
sand.
That’s
why
Popcorn
Beach
is
not
always
people’s first choice for holidays. But
no one can deny that it is interesting to visit.

Hiding From the Vet
Children
may cry when they are taken to the hospital. What
about cats? This kitten hides his head
in a trash hole at the vet’s office! It
seems he doesn’t like seeing a doctor, either.
Delicious Art
Believe it or not, you can use food to
create art! A Japanese food artist made pictures
of famous
people with melted
(
融化了的
) chocolate.
Hello, Sally!
