The Giraffe

The giraffe is the tallest modem land animal. It can be over 5.5 metres tall. Its neck bone may be 1.9 metres long. Yet the giraffe has only seven bones( 骨 ) in its neck, the same number as in the human( 人类 ). Even a small bird has many more bones in its neck than in a tall giraffe. Each bone in a giraffe's neck is very long, while the bones in a human neck are small. That makes the difference. A female ( 雌的 ) giraffe gives birth to one baby at a time. The baby, called a calf, is about 1.9 metres tall at birth. By the age of eight it is full-grown. The giraffe eats mostly leaves. Because it has a long neck, it can reach the leaves high up on the trees.

六、One possible version:

From the pictures we know that much water has been polluted. Some factories are pouring waste water into rivers and lakes. The water becomes dirty and lots of fish have died. Many people often waste water. For example, they often forget to turn off the taps. If we don't have enough water,land will be dry and crops will die. We can't live without water. So we should try our best and encourage everyone to protect water resources. We must save water and stop polluting it. If we do that, things will be much better.
