A planet is a
body in space that revolves around a star. There are nine planets in our
solar system,
and these nine planets travel around the sun. The names of the planets are
Mercury, Venus,
Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
Planets travel
in orbits around the stars. All of the planets of the solar system revolve in
elliptical
orbits. In other words, their orbits are like large, flat circles. The time
that it takes a
planet to make
one revolution around the sun is called a year.
The Greeks were
the first people to recognize and give names to some of the planets.
Tile word planet
comes from a Greek word meaning wanderer If a person wanders, this means
that he goes
from one place to another and does not have a home. The Greeks thought that
planets
"wandered" in the sky. However, modern scientists can predict the
movement of the
planets very
accurately.

There are
millions of plants and animals living in the sea. Most of the plants and
animals
living in the
oceans are extremely small and float near the surface of the water in their
thousands.
They are food
for huge numbers of small animals that also live near the surface. Together,
they
are all known as
plankton.
Many fish feed
on this plankton, including one of the largest, the whale shark. Despite
their great
size, certain whales live entirely on plankton.
The blue whale
is the largest animal ever to live. It grows to a length of over 100 feet.
The humpback
whale is a smaller kind and has long flippers. It can jump right out the water.
The
Californian grey
whale makes long migrations every year - it spends the summer feeding in the
Arctic but swims
south to the warmer waters off the coast of Mexico in the winter. The females
give birth in
the shallow, warm water there.
Many of the fish
in the sea may be eaten by other meat-eaters. Sharks, for example, area

some of the fastest
hunters, although not all of them eat other fish.
Deep down in the
oceans live many strange fish. It is so dark down there that many of
these fish have
"light" on them, which are used for attracting smaller fish for the
larger ones to eat.
Jellyfish are
peculiar-looking creatures ranging in size from a fraction of an inch to 6 feet
across. They
don't really swim but drift in the currents of the open oceans. Although they
contain a
powerful sting, they are often eaten by turtles. Turtles are reptiles that
spend most of
their eggs on
sandy beaches.

The average person
will say that agriculture means farming. He is partly right, for raising
crops is a
branch of agriculture. So do livestock raising, dairy farming, fruit growing,
chicken
raising and even
fur farming. Agricultural includes the raising of every kind of plants and
animals
that is useful
to man.
With all its
many branches, agriculture is the world's most important industry. It supplies
the food we eat
and many of the materials from which we make our clothing.
Farms are
classified according to the type of farming that is done and kinds of crops and
livestock that
are raised. They may be classified in several different ways, such as general,
specialized,
intensive, and extensive farms.
General farming
is a farm where a variety of things is raised. On such a farm there may be
a herd of dairy
cows whose milk the farmer sells. There may also be poultry to provide extra
income and
supply some of the family's needs.
There are many
factors that influence the types of crops and livestock that a farmer
raised. The most
important one is climate which includes temperature, length of growing season,
sunshine, and
rainfall. Another is the type of soil. The third is the amount of water
available for
irrigation. By
concentrating on the particular crops or animals that fit best with this
situation, the
specialized
farmer hopes to use his land in the most efficient and profitable way.
When a farmer
devotes a great deal of labor to a piece of land, he is practising intensive
agriculture. If
he works in a large area of land with relatively little labor, he is practising
extensive
agriculture.
Intensive agriculture usually goes together with small farms. A great deal of
careful
work is always
involved in intensive agriculture. Often this work must be done by hand.
Extensive agriculture
is usually practised on large farms or ranches where most of the work is
done by
machinery.

Trappists are
monks who are not allowed to preach or to teach. Their lives are devoted
to meditation,
studying and reading.
In 1949, one
group of Trappists fled to Hong Kong from China, leaving behind their
houses and their
dairy industry. They dressed themselves as labourers and carried only a few
possessions.
Here, the monks
had to start a new life. They found it difficult to obtain food and they
had nowhere to
live; but somehow they managed with the help of the community and charitable
organizations.
It was not until 1995 that the Hong Kong government granted them land on
Lantao island.
The monks are
not allowed to beg for a living, so they had to work very hard on the
island. They
started a dairy farm, kept about five hundred chickens and started growing
their
own vegetables.
A large part of
the work of the Trappists is concerned with their dairy. The cows are fed
regularly,
milked and kept healthy. The dairy, which produces about two thousand bottles
of
milk a day,
brings the monks their main income. The monks sell about half of the milk to a
large
hotel in Hong
Kong, while hospitals and schools buy the rest. The monks also earn some money
by selling eggs.
Sometimes, the Trappists sell some of their cattle. The monks themselves do not
eat meat,
however, as they are vegetarians.
